Can't save after saving dad

[Starsickle]

What the title says. After vault 112, I can go to rivet city, but I cannot save. There must be something with the event with DAD before going back to the Jefferson memorial that crashes the game. I have no idea why I can't save.

 

It doesn't work even until Dad sacrifices himself. He also doesn't come to the window after blowing up autumn, leaving you SOL.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it may be FOOK2, but it's solved a ton of crashes recently. Up until now, where I am getting the random crashes from going into and out of places. It was performing very well, though.

[Fonger]

try this http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10236

 

if it doesn't help

 

deactivate mods wholesale until it works properly.

[Starsickle]

But then you have no stuff...

 

 

anyways, I tried the old "go kill yourself" trick. not working.

[Fonger]

But then you have no stuff...

but now it ain't working so your stuff is idle

 

and the bug remains unnamed

[Starsickle]

It seems that I can save anywhere up to traveling to Rivet City. After getting there I can travel fast or slow anywhere but saving will crash. it must have something to do with the MQ or Dad.

 

I'd really like to find a way to preserve all the items if I was going to just axe all the mods and save, but it's not promised that it'll clear up any problems, and to be honest there isn't much point to doing anything with the MQ at that point.

 

Remarkably, FOOK2's latest beta has been stable, although lately that's kinda been challanged by a few outside to inside crashes. They even got the MQ events working again at V12 and probably v-87, too.

[Quetzlsacatanango]

Have you done fo3edit master update? Fixes crash on save every time for me.

[Starsickle]

Well, I tried that, and ran DO#edit in masterupdate mode, and it seems the game has stopped taking input correctly, so even though I managed to make a save at rivet city, I have to reinstall the game because there are now textures swapping in and out all the time, missing meshes and the pipboy mouse and escape key no longer work.

 

wow, what a catastrophe. I never get to see this game to completion because of crashes and bugs.

[Quetzlsacatanango]

That is a different problem, most likely caused by your metric assload of mods. You can search for a few previous posts I have made on the subject. Basically, some people hit this problem with varying numbers of active plugins. You can remove active mods one at a time until you get below the magic number, no matter which ones they are. Then as long as you stay under that number you'll be fine. You can workaround the problem by merging esps, or just making hard choices. For the record I tend to hit the issue at around 100 plugins, you are way over that.

If they hit it with varying numbers, then how do you know it's the number of mods? You're suggesting that it has something to do with overlapping records with the data, but that doesn't make sense unless FO3Edit is to blame for it. That explanation doesn't make much sense if Magic is the only way to describe it.

 

 

So anyways, I obviously have to make huge mergers of certain multi-part mods...any suggestions on how to correctly do it?

 

Initial thoughts:

-Wasteland player

-The UPP

- Dree Perks

 

That wouldn't solve much else but reducing the actual number of mods active. What does that accomplish?

 

So - time to reinstall...

[Quetzlsacatanango]

I'm not suggesting an explanation for it at all. Only what I have observed and what seems to fix the problem. I am open to magic, or even Science! as a possibility. As for "only reducing the number of mods active", the number of mods active is the problem. If you don't like that answer it doesn't hurt my feelings, but you will have the same problem after going through a reinstall.

As for merging mods, I tend to use one for armor/clothes, one for added weapons, and so on. Perks would probably work too, although I have never tried it.
