1LTWinters Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hey guys... sometimes when i play FO3 everything works fine untill i make a save (or leave an interior cell or so) and after that my display settings seem to be buggy or so^^ the game looks like i have chosen lowest display settings but i havn't. the grass looks awfull and everything is in low quality. Sometimes the game crashes at this point and then my desktop setting in windows are 4bit for color setting and lowest resolution. when i exit the game and load the save game everything is fine. is there anybody who knows about this problem and how it could be solved? my system: CPU: E8500Graphics: HD4870RAM: 4GB WinXP 32bit SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overload1977 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 first off why are you using WinXP SP2 when there is SP3!!! undate that and then undate your 3D card .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LTWinters Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 don't ask.. i didn't even know that there is a SP3 for WinXP.I have the latest display driver installed. and i don't believe that the bug is because of SP2^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LTWinters Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 okay..i tried a few things out: first i disabled all the mods which could be able to cause such a problem but the bug stayed.then i simply reinstalled the game but the bug wasn't gone. finally i reinstalled and patched only to v1.4.0.6 'cause i thought it could be maybe the v1.6 patch. but the bug is still there. so now i have no other ideas. what the hell could it be??? please try to help! my mod list: Fallout3.esmCRAFT.esmAnchorage.esmThePitt.esmBrokenSteel.esmPointLookout.esmEnclaveCommander-OA-Pitt-Steel.esmCALIBR.esmBS Water Fix.espCALIBRxMerchant.espCALIBR Ammo Schematics - CRAFT.espCRAFT - Activation Perk.espp90.esp1alexscorpionsnipergear.espCD Area 51 WHAT.espSR25Rifle.espH&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifles.espColtM4Carbines.espHZ_M249.espHZ_G36pack.espHZ_M14.espHZ_SL8_XM8.espHZ_FN57.espFabarm SDASS.espSlower Degradation (-95%).espShellRain.espBackpacks - SedPL.esp3EFhelmlessstealthsuit.espSAS Gear.espsunglassescollection.espTactical Vest CIRAS.espOutcast DX.espBoS_DX.espThe Club House at Vault 101.espXClubhose_modified.esp (made it for my own use, just added sandbags and removed a few things indoors)Portable Shack.espPortable Camp.espRivetCityTheme.espMegaton House Overhaul and PreWar Theme.espFNNCampingGear.espPersonalVertibird.esp=Subtle=MotionBlur1.1.esp=Subtle+Far=DOF1.1.espMrSlackPants-DecentPipBoyLight.espAnchoRepair.espPittRepair.espBSteelRepair.espCRI-Squad-new.espDoctorOfTheWastes Beta v1.00.espVendorCapsIncreased7X.esppipboylightblue.espRivet_city_security.espBanks of the Wasteland1-1.espTeslaCannonRepair.espXTeslaCannon_4Rounds.espPassive Rats, Roaches, and Flies.espGreenerworld.espCBO-Ausbildungslager.espCBO.espCBO - TRINITY IN NOREONESSA.espCBO_Medikamente.espCBO_OA_Addon.esp Total active plugins: 62Total plugins: 62 p.s.: i have the latest 3D driver and WinXP SP3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LTWinters Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 i found out that this bug happens after a while. it doesn't depend on leaving a special cell or so. also it seems not to depend on big explosions and such things which cause heavy cpu and 3D work.

1LTWinters Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 could the bug stay cause of using old save games after reinstalling? i didn't make clean saves after reinstalling. could that be the reason that the bug is still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gishank Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 A wild theory... Could you please post the idle temps, on-load (aka before the bug occurs), and the moment say you save or whatnot of your CPU & GPU... It may be that for some reason your GPU is spiking at high-temps apon attempting to load a certain object, causing your settings to f*#@up.
