Crashing outside Rivet City...


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my game keeps crashing whenever I exit to the wasteland (I can only assume! Tried it with Rivet City and teleported to anacostia and attempted again)

 

 

I am running the most recent Unofficial Patch for F3 and all of it's DLCs

 

 

Any ideas?

When you say you're using the latest version of the UF3P do you mean the original version here:

Crashes on saves around Rivet City & Project Purity can be caused by a fault in the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch - Broken Steel.esp, a fix for that can be found here:

If instead you mean you're using the "Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch", that's already got the Broken Steel Plugin fix applied:

Hope this helps!

I'm having this problem too, I started with the updated patch, but after reading about broken steel, switched to the old 1 so I could disable that esp, which led to being able to walk a few seconds before crash. Have tried pc, and a few other fixes too, but still keeps crashing, any suggestions?

The Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch should already have the Broken Steel Plugin fix built in so no need to go back to the original for that reason.

 

Including that fix was one of the first things they did when updating I believe.

 

The original UF3P Broken Steel can be fixed with FO3Edit & that link I mention above if you do wish to use the original.

 

"which led to being able to walk a few seconds before crash."

 

The UF3P Broken Steel Plugin crash is very specific, only affecting saves around Rivet City & Project Purity. That includes saves when fast travelling from there or entering & exiting doors.

 

It does not cause crashing unless saving or in any other location.

 

If you're crashing while just walking or in other locations then it sounds like you've another problem.

 

If your game is freezing rather than crashing it could be the Fallout 3 multi core bug.

Fallout 3 has trouble with multi core computers, mainly with ones that have more than two cores & use hyperthreading.

There is a fix, you need to edit your Fallout 3 .ini file.

The one you want to change is:

For XP:

My Documents\My Games\Fallout3\

For Vista & Win7:

Documents\My Games\Fallout3

The file you want will be called:

FALLOUT.ini

Open the .ini with Notepad & change this line:

bUseThreadedAI=0

to:

bUseThreadedAI=1

& insert this line under it:

iNumHWThreads=2

Save & close your ini.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice. I've already got them added to the ini, I have a dual core without hyperthreading.

But if I started with the updated patch then I shouldn't of had the problem?

Only other thing I can think is I added jessi and kelsey companions, who spawn there. And also have/had a bug where the market was always closed, and downloaded a mod to patch that, but tried disabling all and travelling there with a new character
