People skating across the floor

[mechine]

euuuuuuuuu

 

 

 

:D lolz

 

 

 

man i've never had that happen

 

 

FWE got built into FOOK1.6 a while back didn't it

 

Idk I don't use FWE

 

 

I don't scan for errors either, I pretty much open it up an look for red.

 

 

 

The ubers are telling me to merge patch now, which sounds rather interesting,

You kind of have to build it though. If you ask me I think it sort of makes

compatiblity patches not really needed anymore. I haven't really done it yet.

Just woke up.

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying anyone is wrong or anything.

But 6 or so months of playing fallout 3 in version 1.0 status

Even patch 1.0.35, geez stick a knife in it

1.0.15 1.4 1.5, and some master update versions

 

This being done on two seperate windows installs

and in maybe 6 or so fallout installs, you know with

maybe a 3-4 driver changes.

 

I don't have or use DLC's though which is the kicker here

And I've never seen spinning heads or broken necks

not once, but also I use windows XP Home SP3

 

So the question becomes are the spinning heads an broken necks caused by

 

1. Op system issues, hardware configuration, drivers&directX (Probably not, who knows,)

 

2. DLC's, or further, DLC's and using mods with them, the combo

 

3. Even further it could be the combo of 1 and 2, or even the stuff below.

 

 

 

I can't really get a diagnosis on it, because I've never seen it.

 

I do know that you can just get a plain old bad load up of the program (wierd issues)

 

which is just from needing to reboot your computer either from just having a CTD, or

 

from just having the computer turned on an being used for a long time (surfing, trolling, music, ebay)

 

 

 

 

 

Man that's tough

 

 

I'm going to go think about it.

 

 

 

Is there anything that would help me duplicate it maybe?

I searched around a few days ago in other forums to see what the issue could be. I found this one. I used his pic to show the "neckbreaking" issue. I also have an nVidia GeForce card but it's a different series. He says that this happens even without mods. He noticed that this started when he installed Zeta. I don't know if the solution is that simple because I disbaled Zeta and it problem is still going on. Something is wrong with the animations:

Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I finally found out the problem was dated drivers. nVidia likes playing hide n seek when it comes to finding updates. I gave kudos to all who helped.

Woot

 

 

DLC's an bad drivers = Awesomeness

 

 

 

No wonder it never happened to me.

 

 

I thought I was just super lucky.

 

 

That's so awesome though.

 

 

 

Meadwaded NPC's for the win...

For drivers, I kind of like this site:

 

http://filehippo.com/download_nvidia_forceware_xp/

 

I guess that would explain why it doesn't happen very often, although I have my doubts about it being a driver issue.

[mechine]

Yeah I agree...

 

 

 

 

Now that I've thought about what GSmanners said about it

 

an the sort of logic you can apply to the problem it's probably a combo of things that produce a glitch.

 

 

 

You can get bad loads of fallout 3,

 

 

so a reboot could fix this

 

 

 

someone needs to have it happen an reboot a bunch of times an see if it goes away without doing anything

 

 

Or someone have it happen in a un-modded version of fallout 3 (yeah right that's going to happen)

I too had this exact same problem. Before you do ANYTHING (although it is a good idea to reset, reboot, update, etc. regularly anyways) Check ALL of your out of game and in game settings. Somehow all of my in game settings pertaining to view distance for all items was turned all the way down to 0. I turned them back up to normal and the skating exorcist problem completely disappeared.
