Fallout 3 lags strangely and main menu crash

[PetrukStark]

Help please, I have a strange lag. Sometimes after I get outside or go Inside, there's a heavy lag occured. The lag only occurs on certain position, so If I look to the sky/ceiling or looking at the opposite direction, there's no more lag. Or alternatively, exit game and return again. I couldnt go to main menu because everytime I go to main menu after opening a save, it always crashes. It wasn't like that long time ago. Maybe this is because recently I started to mod my game?

Looking at your load order, I see two 'esp' files mixed in with your 'ESM's. You have to have all of your ESM files together first, then the esp files. I personally would have 'Project Beauty' towards the bottom of my load order. Anyway, move those two esp files below your ESM's and see if that helps. Remember ESM loads first, then the esp. Hope this helps. :laugh:

I dunno, FOMM says that those two are master files, so I let it be. But, I've tried to remove master file marks so I'll test it out first.

So I was testing out with esp problem fixed.... aaand it's still occurs. I need to go into another cell or exit game to fix this. Any idea?

[BarefootWarrior]

At the risk of asking a stupid question...you are using 'archive invalidation'. The other thing that might be working against you is the memory issue, are you using the 3Gb enabler? Also, there is the CPU issue, that is...the game was designed around a two core CPU and limited to 2 GB of memory. Note that I said the game...not your system. If you are running a quad core (or more like I am) this fix or patch limits the game to using two cores and not all of them. I'm going to guess that you already have FOSE installed as some of the mods in your load order require this.

 

Just throwing things out there, but with the amount of mods you have, I can see where the 3 GB enabler would be needed for sure, this would allow the game to use more memory and run the mods. I hope someone else will jump in on this, they might know more then I do.

 

Here is a link for you to look at regarding the cpu core issue

The 3GB enable is available on the FO3 mods site.
