Nexus / Vortex can't install any mods. Fallout 3 GOTY GOG.

[Massaya]

Hello, dear Community.

I could really need your help right now, because I'm at the end of my wits.

 

I haven't had any problems with any games and Nexus for many years.

But man, Fallout 3 just refuses to run with mods on my PC (Windows 10).

 

Can't believe trying to run my favorite Fallout would cause so much headache, especially when GOG is supposed to sell games that run on modern systems!

So, some days ago I installed Fallout 3 GOTY GOG-Edition on my Wifes PC (also Windows 10).

After a littlebit of troubleshooting (changing the .exe and reinstalling all mods again) her Fallout 3 ran without any problems and Vortex works flawlessly.

 

Now, when I try to run mine and Vortex it causes only errors.

When I click on any mod in Vortex, I'm getting this error-message:

Of course I installed recommended "Desktop Net Runtime".

Restarted the PC, but this error still persists.

Here is the log:

I've been trying to fix this for 5 days now, but still, the problem persists.

Can someone help me, please?

so, I installed .net 6.0.

Still no change.

Then I tried this solution:

(add in CMD)

icacls.exe "C:\Program Files\dotnet" /grant "*S-1-15-2-1:(oi)(ci)(rx)"

icacls.exe "C:\Program Files\dotnet" /grant "*S-1-15-2-2:(oi)(ci)(rx)"

Still the same errors. " - -

 

What changed it for me, is starting cmd as Admin.

 

Now the game starts, but running it through FOSE the game crashes after the first "Slide" appears when starting the game! " - -

Update:

I really don't know why and how... but Fallout 3 runs now flawlessly (so far) !

 

I installed various mods (Command Extender, Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch, FOSE, Enhanced Blood-Textures, Fellout) still didn't work.

Then I ran without mods again. No change. Still crashing after the first slide (well at least its STARTING!)

At some point, I was just scrolling through the mods on Nexus... and installed the "better High Detail Map and Icons".

Now I got a message instead of just closing! "program stopped working".

And guess what: after I uninstalled the "Better High Detail Map and Icons - mod"

the game launches and I can play!!! FINALLY!!

 

I tried getting the "Better High Detail Map and Icons - mod"  again, but this time I didn't change anything in the configuration-screen.

Now the game works just fine!!

 

It doesn't make the slightest sense to me, why installing and deinstalling the mod makes my game finally run properly, all of the sudden.

But I'm happy it runs at least and hope someone can use this!

 

(Still in the "growing-up section" ingame. I will report back after I leave the Vault! Wish me luck!)

It works.

Left the Vault and it runs smooth and looks very good!
