Timzor Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Apparently, either because I just have a bad mod installed, or there's a conflict, or a load order problem, or something, every time I enter Megaton my game crashes. Now, I have a TON of mods installed. Right now I'm using the "christmas lights" method--that is, disabling my mods one by one and then attempting to enter Megaton, to see if it works again. Unfortunately, because I have so many mods, this is taking FOREVER. Is there a better way to figure out what mod is causing the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkleiss Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Yes, remove 'chunks'. So the first time you remove half your mods. If the game works, you know its in the set you removed, add half of those back, check again. Each time either add or remove half of what is remaining and you will maximize the efficiency. One thing though. If you are using a dirty save, the error may continue even after unloading mods. Also, the problem may not be due to a mod at all and may, instead be a corrupt save. The bast way to test is to use a new game each time and coc yourself to the problem area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using that method, I managed to find the mod that is causing the problem:http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5770 It boggles my mind why it would happen, though. I've been using that mod for quite some time with no problems, and I don't even see why it would affect Megaton at all. However, the fact remains that when it's checked, the game crashes, and when it's unchecked, it doesn't. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkleiss Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I am not familiar with that mod, so I can't say why. It is also possible that that mod in conjunction with another caused the issue. You may want to pass a note to the mod developer so he/she is aware in case it happens to other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
