Help with GECK (PRos please!)

[d93ben]

Whenever I try to load the Fallout.esm or any other .esm/.esp the GECK freezes up, and I'd really like to help some people on their mods, however I can't because I can't use the GECK myself. I run on VISTA, and I've installed Fallout 3 into another drive, and installed GECK into that directory, however it seems that whenever I try to load the data, it freezes up. If anyone can tell me why it is, that would be nice. :)

as was suggested to me, install both the geck as Fall Out directly on your HDD, something like "C:\Fall Out 3"

Also, the geck isnt a type program like MS Word, it needs time to load. It may take a while before it's completely loaded (takes me at least 2-4 minutes)

Mhmm, I tried that first but like having trouble with the Oblivion editor, it did the same thing, and then I read a topic where for Vista there was a problem in which the same thing would happen, so I tried installing it into another hard drive. I mean the geck loads fine and all.. And the windows are all functioning and such, but the problem is when I try loading, the fallout.esm file freezes up at 20%

Nevermind I figured it out! BANZAI!

Loading any ESM will take time, it isn't a simple text file :p It will take a while (and yes it seems that it hangs itself but in fact it's still loading!)

Now that you have gotten GECK to load up, get into the habit of saving your mod file often. The GECK is a finicky beast and is prone to locking up, freezing and crashing just after you have done important work.

 

Have fun :)
