I go through the diaper to Manhood thing and am now back in the wasteland,The New DLC,s start poping up left and right! OK! :biggrin: so I find myself In the fire-ant location! I pull out my trusty Laser pistol and shoot ANT! Screen 80% Diag / goes RED in color sort of and the ANT has the ! over it , after shooting it slowly fades away,later in the church I meet up with the TIN MEN whom have lost a rookie in a building and could I go get him out in one piece,OK said I dreaming of medals (Riiiiiighhhhht) :rolleyes: So as we are pounding the SUPER bignuts! I noticed 1 Tin guys seem to be carrying a coffin on their backs instead of a weapon(I think) coffin like with a white bar on each side,like handles! 2 places where dead bignuts have fallen have half a diamond sticking out of the ground with the ! on it. 3 Other banned (kicked out) Tin men Main home in the What was a new building Has a box like area with the ! floating on the second floor!

phoneyLogic Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The problem has nothing ti do with your hardware.Those red diamonds with exclamation mark inside means missing files (paticularly the meshes do not load correctly) That could be a wrong installation, e.g. corrupted data files if you installed fallout via steam. The latest Patch (1.7) is not installed. If you installed Fallout into "Program Files": the UAC messed sth up So, 1st I would try to install the game to another location than "Program Files" Perform a "Clean reinstall" read the point Reinstalling Fallout 3 Install the latest patches for Fallout and GfWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest Patch (1.7) is not installed. NO! It is Active and WORKING! If you installed Fallout into "Program Files": the UAC messed sth up NEVER! it is installed with STEAM on another drive! **********I HATE reinstalling STEAM ************* Takes forever. I NEVER put anything in The "C" files to get munged when Win7 dies! So, 1st I would try to install the game to another location than "Program Files" Perform a "Clean reinstall" read the point Reinstalling Fallout 3 Install the latest patches for Fallout and GfWL Fallout yes GFWL NO! piece of Cr*P Causes more problems than it has! I JUST reinstalled it! completly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneyLogic Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 You get red diamonds with exclamation mark if the meshes file is not working correctly. That means: If you don't use Mods or DLCs, then there is only one file which contains Meshes:Fallout - Meshes.bsa in your Data folder You should try to find out if the meshes file is some kind of bugged, corrupted, damaged or sth This might happen, when the installation fails, because the install source medium does not work as supposed (steam)the wrong patch applied (only if you use DLCs)UAC is protecting you (it is a security service that is messing up nerarly everithing if you install the game into Program files and if you use Mods)ArchiveInvalidation fails (only if you use Mods)Other things, I did not think of atmMore information could increase the chances that someone can tell you a fix. Did you install your game via steam? GfWL is buggy (of cause^^) and it is causing CTDs etc! That's why it is a gOod idea to install the latest GfWL Client from >>> here <<< first. Already tried to run the game in Admin mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocokiwi Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 FINALY! ========================================fixed=============================== i FOUND A COUPLE OF FILES that maybe conflicted with it! LAPTOP. The Desktop was a different one! same problem but it only had the DLC,s in it! SO! I did a file check! and then overlaid the DLC,s with a copy! switched to Admin mode.and tried to run it! could not run at this time! SO! rebooted and started again! SO! it *****WORKED***** all fixed! so now I know what was missing! GRIN ! The Elevator ? Thanks for the Clues! Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
