Frequently Crashing Outdoors/Indoors et al.

[Melkutus]

Hey everyone,

I have been having severe issues with Fallout 3 in the past days: Whenever I am outside exploring, or entering/exiting cells, I will experience a freeze in the loadingscreen without an error message or anything. Before I continue, I will post the specs of my computer:

Desktop, with Windows 7 Professional x64
16 GB RAM Physical Memory with 8 Processor Cores
1 TB Storage
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 Display Adapter
12030 MB Graphics Memory

Now, to continue. I have applied most fixes people have suggested: multi-threaded AI, enabling 2 Havok threads. However; none of these
are preventing crashes from happening. Most searches lead to those two solutions or a miscellany of other useless solutions.

Any ideas? My apologies if I forgot to include pertinent information.

Bump

[M48A5]

Have patience and do not bump your posts (as stated in the TOS).

 

 

You need both Craft and Calibr active for FWE. Use only one Followers Enhanced, not both.

 

MMM-Natural Selection, Zones Respawn, Tougher Traders are included in FWE, disable them and uninstall them.

 

Uninstall all your inactive plugins. If the files are in the "Data" folder, they will be loaded into memory, whether or not the .esp or .esm is active.

 

A World of Pain.esm needs to be moved up in your load order. It should be loading with the other .esm.

 

Imperfection.esm needs to be moved up in your load order.

 

.esm (elder scroll master) must load before .esp (elder scroll plugin).

 

Check at the Blackened mod page for compatibility patches. You need some. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/18173/?

 

Make sure you changed the proper Fallout3.ini. It is the one in the Documents/MyGames/Fallout3 folder. The one where your saves are kept, not the one where the Fallout3.exe is located.

 

With the amount of RAM you have available, you should make your game Large Address Aware, using the Large Address Aware Enabler: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6510/?

First off, I apologize greatly; I did not know it was not allowed.
Secondly, I thank you earnestly for taking the time to respond to my post. I respect you very much for that.

 

I have changed my load order (I used auto sort to do it, I did not notice the esp files and the esm files got mixed in like that) and downloaded the patches and LAA that you mentioned. I think that you may have fixed it: Each time I tried to go into the Meresti Trainyard my game hung. Thank you so much again; you are a saint!
