berenterino Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hello, all. Here's hoping you can help, because I'm getting very frustrated... About two weeks ago, I borrowed Fallout 3: GOTY from a friend. I installed it with no problems (vanilla only, I figure I'll add the expansions later if I like it), started it up, and fell in love. My computer's on the low end of the spectrum, so it was a little ragged, but still tons of fun. I've previously played Morrowind and Oblivion, so the next thing I do is get online and start modding. All right, everything's fine, no problems. I picked up the script extender, mod manger, weapon kits, BA_repair, Fellout, Mart's Mutant Mod, Darnified UI, and some more which seemed pretty minor. Everything works fine, and I'm having a blast, rolling around the wasteland, killing and looting. Until one day, when I hit the 'Run FOSE' button. The game launched, the first loading screen came up, and then...BOOM! Crash to desktop! I curse, try again...same thing. I deactivate my mods...same thing. Try running the exe...same thing. I take out the script extender files...same thing. Uninstall, reinstall...same thing. I tried this several times. I used google-fu, to no avail. I even rolled back to a system restore point before I ever installed the game, and it still didn't work. I torrented a new copy, wondering if files had been corrupted somehow. It installed successfully...and ran! It got to the menu...I started a new game. Successfully. Now, I exit, go back, try to put my mods back in so I can resume my saved game...and...same error, and nothing I can do will make it work again. I've tried two antivirus programs, Webroot and Avast, as well as the aforementioned restore point. I've uninstalled Windows Live before installing Fallout. I'm getting extremely frustrated. I've spent hours wrestling with my computer to make this work again (and it used to work fine. I played for more than a week, including time I should have been studying for APs, and everything was fine. I'm 99% sure I didn't do anything to my computer that would make it suddenly stop working). I'm sick, tired, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Please help. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7. According to dxdiag, it has an AMD Turion x2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-70 processor (~2GHz), Directx 11, and an ATI Radion 3100 Graphics card with 1404mb approximate total memory.

Katuko Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 "Sounds like a confession"? Dude, he mentioned torrenting a new copy not long afterward, borrowing a disk is nothing. :P Anyways, I got a similar problem. I can't start Fallout 3 at all; mods or no mods, even on a clean install. Having a downloaded copy shouldn't mean anything to you, as all they do is remove the disk and serial check, to my knowledge. If you have the disk still: Try leaving it in the drive when starting, even on the pirated version. Alternately, mount the ISO and run it directly from disk, if possible. I dunno. Also, update all your drivers and such. Patch the game to the newest version. If nothing works (it didn't for me) then I have no idea. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
