A challenge to any FO3 fix experts!!!

[urbex]

Do you have the ffdshow wmp codec pack installed?

anokii - Doh! I thought I had the latest version of FOOK 2. Guess I should check better next time.

 

Yeah I get a bit zealous with AA after mod installations. I'll only do it the once.

 

Great tips anokii. Thanks for your help.

2.2 what? cores or pagefile gigs?

 

 

yeah i think he's talking about cores.

 

By the way i almost use the same number of mods... but instead of FOOK, i use FWE.

 

Well speaking of your problem... to be honest i can play for many hours and my PC specs are a little bit under yours. But when i'm on areas with too many details.. sometimes my game freeze and crash. By the way i recommend u this page to tweak the amount of ram used by FO3. http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_8.html. That's page 8 of the Tweakguide for F3, where it begins talking about the INI file. I think the only value I've changed is the "iPreloadSizeLimit=26214400" value, and I changed it to the author's recommended value for my memory.

 

This is the only help i can give u for now. Hope it works :thumbsup:

 

I've already been through that mate but thanks :)

Methinks you also have some load problems and looking at your load order I suspect that's where the majority of your problems are coming from;

 

- Your using an older version of FOOK2 - known to be extremely buggy and caused the exact problem your referring to. If you want to use it grab the latest at; http://www.yourfook.com/downloads/

be sure to read the documentation as it is very important you get the install right

.

- Unofficial Patch - Broken Steel does have some problems and reportedly causes higher rate of CTD's - I personally don't use it anymore.

 

- your using several mods which are already in FOOK2 - (e.g. EVE, Owned, etc) mod duplication can cause problems like CTD.

 

- your using mods that have known compatiblity issues with FOOK2 (e.g. Animy_prostitution.esm)

 

I'm running the latest FOOK2 along with about 35 other mods and I can get 3-4 hours without a crash no problem. Personal experience is that outside the initial tweaks (mulit-core, ini tweaks, etc) it's the load order that will cause you the most problems and the incompatibilities between mods.

 

One last thing - you keep mentioning Archive Invalidation several times and I can't tell if your turning it off then back on then off then on........ You only need to do this once.

 

hope this helps.

 

 

 

Hmmmm,

 

Ive just been back to the FOOK 2 page and I'm confused. Do I need to install 1.0 and then 1.2 beta over the top or just 1.2? and why is it so much smaller than 1.0?

 

Also, the website isn't very clear about the installation, what with it being divided up into data files, plugins etc.

 

Care to clear things up mate? Would appreciate it. Thanks. :)
