Crashing at startup - Load order problems?

[OverwatchPro]

EDIT - Updated load order. Game runs normally, but freezes very often. The freezes aren't desktop crashes, but the game's screen locks while sound still plays. I tried the multicore fix, as well as adding d3d9.dll to the Fallout 3 goty directory. Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated!

 

Load Order:

Fallout3.esm

Anchorage.esm

ThePitt.esm

BrokenSteel.esm

PointLookout.esm

Zeta.esm

EVE.esm

Mart's Mutant Mod.esm

DCInteriots_ComboEdition.esm

Try putting Fellout last, Ironsights after MMM, MMM after EVE, EVE plugins after WeaponModKit.

OR

Download and Run BOSS (or LOOT).

Crash at start up is usually caused by a missing master. In your case, it would be RH-IronSights.esm

The load order shown is after I ran BOSS, but in any case, I'll try to manually move around the load order, and try to reinstalll RH_Ironsights. I'll try tomorrow and post any results I get, thanks!

[OverwatchPro]

I redownloaded RH_Ironsights, and so far no problems have occured, but I'll post again if I encounter anything. Thanks!

Okay, so everything seems to run normally, save for the game crashing very often. Not the "Fallout 3 has stopped working" crashes, but the kind where the screen freezes, but sounds and music still plays. Is there any reason for that? Or are my mods incompatible? I also installed DC Interiors since then.

do you have the multicore fixes enabled in the fallout.ini ? freezing occurs very often if you don't have them in your .ini file

Is that the fix where you set bUseThreadedAI=0 to 1, and then add iNumHWThreads=2 after that? I just downloaded the text file for that fix, and am trying it now.

yes, you need to change these lines in your fallout.ini to prevent multi-core processors from freezing your game (today all processors are multi-core, back when fallout 3 was released those were still a minority lol), you can further improve your fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini files when looking for fallout ini tweaks with google, but always take a backup first, it's easy to lose track of what you change if you don't keep a backup. Also whatever you read, never increase the uigrids above their standard value of 5, because that is the devil, seriously, don't.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll try running the game as it is now with the multicore fix, and I'll see if I still encounter problems.
