MrKickassL33T Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Ayo, this is my first post on the Nexus Forums and I'm having trouble with ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated. My problem lies within that my Fallout 3 is in the "C:\PROGRAMhttp://cdncache1-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png Files (x86)" I believe. I have the Steam version of Fallout 3 GOTY Edition. I've read stuff all over different forums but I can't figure it out as there is many mods I want to use and can't because of the weird things it does to my game. ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated causes my game to have a weird green dot on my screen, I can't pick up or put away anything. I can't talk to anybody, I get a few errors I believe as well. I had tried ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated before I had any mods installed but if anybody wants I can post my mod list (It's rather long I believe, personally.) Thanks for reading and any help is greatly appreicated :D. Edit: I can post my Specs (Not sure how but I'll figure it out) if needed.

M48A5 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 C:\Program Files (x86) is the root of your problem. Since you got the game from steam, there are instructions provided by steam that will tell you how to move the game out of "Program Files". Windows has a built in security feature called User Access Control. This prevents any changes being made to any program installed in "Program Files". Since ArchiveInvalidated Invalidation overrides some of the code in Fallout3, the UAC is preventing it from working. The UAC will also prevent some mods from being installed, so it is best to move the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate the help! Have a good day/night. :D Edit: Could it be as simple as moving my "Fallout 3 goty" file to This PC/Documents/My Games?
