FOSE

I downloaded FOSE and I have searched the entire folder and have not found the Loader_exe file to move over. I have all of the .dll files but I cannot find the loader_exe ANYWHERE in the folder, so I downloaded the 'updated' loader off of the site and still no exe file. Am I overlooking something guys ? I have included a couple of captures of the 'loader' folders as they looked when unzipped.

:wacko:

 

Uh... that is an exe file. It and the .dll files go in your Fallout3 folder, not Fallout3/Data.

I figured it out , it was one of my mods that was causing everything to crash , I did FOSE right (I thought .exe files would say .exe though , lol) and I know it was supposed to be in my directory but I unzip everything to my /data folder and go from there. Thanks for the help though guys.

The same old answer anew: open the explorer -> click "Organize" -> click "Folder and search options" -> go to the "view" tab in that new window and make sure the "Hide extensions for known files types" is NOT marked.

 

That is another dumb assumption the user is stupid and unreliable from MS. Actually is a huge security hole one does not knowing the kind of file (s)he is dealing with. The only explanation that makes sense to me is Microsoft is too ashamed of that awkwardness and elegance lacking extensions approach...

 

PS: repeating the already pointed by Quetzlsacatanango: FOSE is NOT a mod in the common sense, it is an utility, actually it is an application, a program that hooks to the the game engine as a On memory patch, it does not install as a common mod, it is meant to be inside the game's root directory and NOT /data... and that is the reason you should read the READMEs of anything you install, the whole documentation if it exist.
