Sudden Main Menu and Pipboy Menu Mess Up


Recommended Posts

Oh dear,

 

i need your help folks. I have a real strange bug.

 

I run through the Wasteland and everything is fine.

I browse through my pipboy and everything is fine.

I make a save and everything is fine.

 

Now, within in the very same game session (without leaving the game)

 

Item Images from my pipboy suddenly are missing,

giving me the pink side of life, we know as missing textures.

 

Trying to save to my game,

in the save area of the mainmenu

all my savegames have the name "000".

 

The saves look the same in my load menu.

 

I let myself get killed but the game wont autoload, switching to the mainmenu instead.

I press Continue but nothing gets loaded.

 

I press the save button nonetheless and the game seems to

comply. (Later when i want to load that very savegame it does not exist!)

 

Trying all this after "quitting" to the mainmenu has the same result.

Trying all this after "quitting" to the mainmenu by typing "exit" into the console has the same result.

 

Anybody had at least the same problems once?

 

I am going nuts over this!

 

Please help.

Hehe, nice one. Two questions.

Do you have a Pipboy Mod/Retexture or is it the vanilla texture which is gone blacked out?

How many saves do you have? Does their poor number exceed a thousand saves, so that your My Games folder does have a size of several GBs?

Oh, its you Ketchup (remember?) :P

 

thanks for answering. Now its my turn:

 

- I have a pipboy replacer but thats no UI mod, it just changes the

device on your character. It comes with no esp.

The only UI tweak is the background but that does not show up

on every menu screen, only worldmap and the like.

It's only textures. It comes with no esp or esm.

- I have 20 saves. I move older ones regularily to a backup folder.

I do that because too many saves use up a lot of ram!

 

- I have a hunch: I deactivated some mods and the issue was gone.

I activated some OTHER and the issue returned.

Could it be the number of active mods cause the issue?

Could the number of active plus non-active mods cause the issue?

 

Best

Of cause I remember. Hows it going with the holotapes and the compilation? :)

 

Hmm, last time I saw this issue with the zeroed saves the problem was gone after deleting maybe 1000 saves, defraging the HD and doing a scandisc operation which might have restored some damaged bits'n bites. This mustnt necessarely mean that your HD is corrupt or sth, but maybe it is heavily fragmented :unsure:

Whats your OS? Under XP you cant hardly do anything without fragmenting your data permanently. This realy is probably one of the most desturbing things on XP.

Right now i am running WIndows 7 Enterprise 64 bit EVAL(uation).

Got me 90 days more of testing (not dependent on any date :-)

before i buy Home Peremium (which of the RC i tested 180 days

without any trouble, despite the program x86 stucture, man WIN 7

is really great). My Enterprise is completely up to date. I doubt

it's the environment. But i will defraggle my folders and see what happens.

I also used and not used 3GB enabler for FO3, no effect.

 

I also did some more checking and unchecking of mods. Now it is

not the cause alone but i am starting to believe my problem has

something to do with Project Beauty (non HD version) and some

other mod(s) together. With PB installed upon loading my save

the bug occurs much earlier as when not. Project Beauty.

I never i agreed them pimping my main menu :verymad:
