DeMocha Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Basically game runs with default .ini with no changes made at all. Any changes made to the fallout.ini (my docs) will result the game crashing before main menu or if i edit fallout_default.ini (game folder) then when those changes are added to fallout.ini (my docs) will do the same. All i have tried to edit was Darnified font additions and archiveinvalidation to 1 rather than 0. I have tried these alterations with notepad, notepad++, winmerge and just by using archiveinvalidation invalidated!.exe I have the Fallout 3 GOTYE via steam and Win 7 64bit. I have disabled GFWL, which no longer results in an error in event manager. I tend to use FOSE but neither FOSE or fallout3.exe work. I use 'run as admin' for both steam and FO3/FOSE. Regardless the issue seems to be the .ini or a program checking the .ini What have i missed? please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMocha Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sorry in advance for double post Basically, seems i solved it myself. Don't know how, or why and the lack of knowing annoys the hell out of me. Anyway i had made a few changes due to a few threads 1-http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1086942-fallout-3-crashes-when-ini-is-edited/ (did do a search but hadn't found it initially) Specifically the mention of Darn, i had made the changes but i downloaded the FOMOD version which was wrong apparently. So this time i used the 7zip version. Don't know if it worked or not but seems odd since i made the .ini changes 1 at a time, ie. invalidation setting, cpu settings, mouse accel., then darn, with no success for any..... till now anyway. 2- Came across this thread as wellhttp://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1465357-installing-fallout-3-with-windows-78-and-xp/didn't use it but may help others. In any case hope my troubles and their solutions may help others in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
