TripleHsShovel Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I've been playing a lot of New Vegas lately and it made me nostalgic for Fallout 3, so I decided to get into it again. The problem is that the game runs smooth as butter until I level up where it hard freezes immediately after I select a perk and hit enter. I was told to install the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch which I did to no avail. I also opened the .ini and made it run on 2 cores, also to no avail. As you'll be able to see from my load order I've tried a bunch of things to help fix it. Can anyone help me?*editI've tried disabling Anchorage, also didn't work.

M48A5 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The game freeze is usually the result of not editing the correct configuration file. Did you edit the Fallout3.ini that is in "games/fallout3? The game DLCs are not in the correct order. They should load: Anchorage ThePitt BrokenSteel PointLookout Zeta Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch. (this is the updated patch, right?) Set your .esp files in the same order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleHsShovel Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I'll change the order and edit this post when I try it, also it was the .ini in C:\Users\*****\Documents\My Games\Fallout3 that I edited, but I did that after I started getting the glitch in the first place.*editI have reordered the DLCs and the patch as specified, and it is the most recent version of the patch. It froze the same exact way. Edited September 25, 2014 by TripleHsShovel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I have reordered the DLCs and the patch as specified, and it is the most recent version of the patch. It froze the same exact way. You are using the old Unofficial Fallout 3 patch. Try "UPDATED Unofficial Fallout 3 patch" http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19122/? Also, use only one file that corrects errors. Edited September 25, 2014 by M48A5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleHsShovel Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just updated to the new one and ordered it the same way again, using both the installer version, then the NMM version. No dice with either, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Have you ever been able to level-up? The first one I remember is just after you exit the vault. Did that one work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleHsShovel Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah, this is going from level 3 to 4, I'm in the midst of doing the Minefield quest for Moira. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yeah, this is going from level 3 to 4, I'm in the midst of doing the Minefield quest for Moira. Since it worked before, I don't know what to tell you to try. I have seen other posts with this problem, but I don't remember what the solution was. Maybe someone else can help. Sorry.

TripleHsShovel Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 I appreciate the help, man. Hopefully someone else will come along and know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drithius Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) The problem is possibly within your save game, so try deactivating any and all mods that you can, load and save the game, and then try leveling up again after a restart (with or without your mods reloaded).
