JoeAtl Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi folks, after several years away from FO3 I've started a new game with the GOTY edition, followed Gopher's guide on on getting it running with FWE and MMM. Added a few more personal choices and everything seems to be stable after about 15 hours of game play (no fast travel). In his play through Gopher was using Remastered as his bug fix patch. It's no longer available and the Unofficial patch has been updated in the last year. Is it a good choice, or are there better ones? Maybe Error Corrections - Reduce CTD?

prensa Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Joe_Atlanta - Hello! Welcome back to Fallout 3! :) There was a lot of confusion about what the Unofficial patch does compared to other mods but it should not be compared to anything else as there's nothing out there that fixes what it does. The Unofficial patch mops up many of the things that Bethesda left out of their Official patches, broken quests, response functionality, meshes & textures to name just a few. All it's fixes are logged in a massive list for you to peruse. It sticks to how the game was intended rather than trying to re-engineer it, basically the sort of detailed patch you'd hope for officially. The Unofficial Patch has only one serious flaw, a bug with it's Broken Steel Patch & that can be fixed easily with FO3Edit using this guide here: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=401813 There are also fixed versions of that plugin on the Nexus. Additionally The Unofficial Patch has been continued on as the "UPDATED Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch" with the Broken Steel patch fix already added plus new fixes. Hope this helps!

JoeAtl Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks for the help and the link. I haven't gotten into FO3EDIT yet, but I'll give it a try. I was reading through the posts of the Bugfix/CTD mod and supposedly it is included in the latest updated version of the Unofficial Patch (or maybe will be included in the next release, it's not exactly clear).

"I was reading through the posts of the Bugfix/CTD mod and supposedly it is included in the latest updated version of the Unofficial Patch (or maybe will be included in the next release, it's not exactly clear)." Yes the Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch includes the Broken Steel crash fix, I think it was one of the first fixes added since it was the only serious flaw with the original. It's listed on the Description page right at the bottom under "Rivet City save crash fix". http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19122/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout3%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D19122%26preview%3D&pUp=1 "I haven't gotten into FO3EDIT yet, but I'll give it a try." It's a little intimidating at first since it's a lot of numbers & lists but it's actually pretty straight forward & allows the user to customise mods to their own tastes with relative ease. It can even do a few things the GECK cannot, definitely a handy tool to have. :) Prensa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
