FOSE on windows 7,64 bit

[Pelvis]

I really need FOSE to make my favourite mods work,but with FOSE the game crashes at the menu screen everytime,even if i after it start the game using the fallout 3 launcher..i infact have to reinstall fallout 3 and then with out FOSE to be able to play it

 

Has something to do with windows 7 or the fact it is 64 bit i think

I have Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) and it works perfectly fine for me, if you're still having issues and are sure it's FOSE and not some mod which has issues, try running the FOSE launcher as an Admin in compatibility mode with Vista/XP. Though I doubt it's an issue with Win7.

Every time I have investigated a FOSE crashing issue it turned out to be a mod and not FOSE. First try disabling ALL mods and starting with FOSE. Then add the mods back one or two at a time and test.

I am running Win7 Ultimate 64bit with no issues. In my experience this has always been a mod issue of some sort.

Here is what is strange to me though. I do not think that FOSE itself overwrites anything in the game. If you start FO3 with fose_loader.exe in the FO3 directory then it adds the Script Support. If you start FO3 in the FO3 directory with Fallout.exe then the game starts normally without the Script Support. One should not affect the other directly...at least I do not think so. The fact that you have to reinstall the entire game to get Fallout.exe to work at all seems odd. Unless of course you still had the mods requiring FOSE active...or maybe some other non-FOSE mod. Then that might still cause it.

IF, you have to reinstall again then just run with FOSE and no mods to make sure it works clean. Then add one mod at a time and check after every mod to find out which mod is the problem.

Otherwise, just do as bben46 says to check your currently active mods.
