InfectiousMold Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) So after hours of scouring the wisdom of the internet, I have finally caved and decided to try my own cry for help. Up until recently, I have always played Fallout 3 on my PS3/Xbox, but I have decided to try it out on my PC. After all, I loved playing Oblivion with mods, so surely I'll enjoy Fallout with them just as much. So I start the game, and the first 2-3 hours go as smoothly as can be expected from my rig. It's not designed, really, to run games, but it can run Fallout at medium to high quality just fine with minimum stutter. So I get out of the Vault 101, head to Megaton and mess around that area for a while, and then try to save my game. I get a crash. I thought "Hmmm...Weird" but just kinda glanced over it and booted the game back up. Same thing happened after attempting to exit the area I was in. Eventually, I had established that my game only crashes when it tries to perform a save of any kind - be it autosave or regular save. I know this because I disabled autosave and played the game for a good hour or so and did not have a single problem. But, of course, once I tried to save a gain, it crashed. So I ran off to the internet and started digging for clues to my problem. Unfortunately, I've never managed to find a permanent solution. There were times when it seemed like the game fixed itself for no reason, but then would start crashing again a few hours later. I really want to play this game on PC, but this problem is really killing it for me. Here's a list of everything I've already done, just so we aren't wasting any time here:Uninstalled/re-installed Fallout 3 - several times.Installed Fallout 3 in C:/Games folder instead of Programs x 86.Uninstalled and re-installed all my mods.Running Fallout 3 in Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode.Edited my INI file, both in My Games and Fallout 3 directory.Installed d3d9.dll into Fallout 3 directory.Created a merge patch for my mods using FO3Edit.Installed Fallout 3 4GB Enabler mod.Uninstalled some of my larger mods to free up some space.Loaded a prior save before loading my actual save.Loading my save game twice.Killing myself/blowing myself up after loading my game. (This one seemed to be doing the trick for a while, but now seems to have stopped working altogether.) And here's a list of my active mods after being sorted by BOSS:Fallout 3.esmAnchroage.esmThePitt.esmStreetLights.esmBrokenSteel.esmPointLookout.esmZeta.esmLings.esmLingsDLC.esmScavengerArmorShop.esmCommunityCrafting.esmCALIBR.esmVault 101 Revisited.esmAdvanced Recon Tech.esmEnergy Visuals Enhanced.esmEnergy Weapons Enhanced.esmMart's Mutant Mod.esmRHKBrisaAlmodovar.esmXepha's Dynamic Weather.esmCrossRepairWEapons.esmM9TranquilizerPistol.esmPowerArmorImproved.esmRCMarketNoFire.espReduced Dust Particles.espBetterGame Performance.espDarNified UIF3.espDynamic Crosshair.espStreet Lights - Wasteland.espNo Blur on Hit.espCRAFT - Activation Perk.espCALIBRxMerchant.espOverhead 3P Camera.espPurge Cell Buffer.espFollowers Relax.espCONELRAD 640 - 1240.espUltimate Perk Pack - Original Perks.espUltimate Perk Pack - Quest Perks.espIce Cold Nuka, Converted.espStealth Kills Enabled.espStealth Kills Enabled - Pitt compatibility.espCryo Weapons - Vanilla.espMTC Wasteland Travelers.espMTC Wasteland Travelers (Optional) - Crowded Cities.espMini Hideout.espMegaton House and Theme Overhaul.espMegalight.espScavenger Shop Items.espWeapon Mod Kits.espColdM4Carbines_RHIronSights.espEWE Supermutant Energy Weapons.espZL - ACR.espZL - SVD.espZL - SVD - CALIBR.espZL -MP5 Pack.espAdvanced Recon Armor.espAdvanced Recon Gear.espBrothehood of Steel DX.espColossus Armor.espCombat Duster.espDogmeat Leather Armor - no crafting.espDragonskin Tactical Outfit.espDragonskin Bonus Pack.espGhost Bodysuit.espGhost Armor HGEC - Conversion.espKikai Equipment.espStealthboy Recone Armor - CRAFT.espT3_Leather Armors.espWasteland Soldier Armor.espUnique Dogmeat.espVanishing Ash and Goo Piles.espMart's Mutant Mod.espMart's Mutant Mod - DLC Anchorage.espMart's Mutant Mod - DLC The Pitt.espMart's Mutant Mod - DLC Broken Steel.espMart's Mutant Mod - DLC Point Lookout.espMart's Mutant Mod - DLC Zeta.espMart's Mutant Mod - Increased Spawns.espMart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.espMart's Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.espMart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.espMart's Mutant Mod - Master Menu Module.espJessi Companion.espKelsey Companion.espBittercup Companion.espLucy West Companion.espEWE DLC addon.espFellout - Full.espRealistic Interior Lighting.espRealistic Interior Lighting - BS.espRealistic Interior Lighting - OA.espRealistic Interior Lighting - PL.espXepha's Dynamic Weather - Main.espA Better Railway Rifle.espAdvanced REcon Armor - No Stealth Field.espMillenia_AKS74U.espBeretta92fs.espImproved Vault Suit (12).espBlack Baseball Caps.espBornagain Reily's Ranger Helmet Texture Patch.espBornagain Zeta Combat Armor Texture Patch.espRHK Brisa Almodover - DLC.espCompanions don't steal XP.espExo Armor.espLD Female Power Armor Pack Anchorage.espLD Female Power Armor Pack.espLD Female Power Armor Pack The Pitt.espLD Female Power Armor Pack Broken Steel.espFine Leather Coat.espNeunen's Axes.espGrenade Launcher_Functional.espJust Another Vision Mod.espKaBoom.espLess Bouncy Grenades.espStarlight.espMoonlight.espJackoMilitaryEquipment1.espFollowersHire_ByCharisma.espNo Blur Effect.espOnTheRoadRaido.espEye_Hair_en.espReaver Fix.espRecon Armor MKII.espS&W 5906 10mm Pistol Replacer extended.espS&W 5906 10mm DLC02 Pistol Replacer.espS&W 5906 10mm Pistol Replacer.espTenpenny Tower Alternate Endings.espThroatSlitterPerk.espM9TranquilizerPistol_CRAFT.espJHB Workbench Repair.espWeather Group Script Test.espfgScrapMetalCrafting.espHZSmoothLight - FO3.espUSMC_Weapons.espFlora Overhaul.espClutter Removal - All.espMerged Patch 1.esp So if anyone has any help to offer, it would be much appreciated.

It not, I can live with using a keyboard and mouse...I think. Edited July 25, 2014 by InfectiousMold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 System specifications are? It would appear that you have exceeded the arbitrary mod limit of Fallout3. You will need to disable and uninstall some of your mods. Just a beginning, StreetLights-Wasteland.esp is included in StreetLights.esm, so you can disable and uninstall it.
