Bazerk83 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Try renaming your Fallout.ini to Fallout.ini.bak, the one in Documents\My Games\Fallout3 (not the one in the games install folder), the game will create a new one, you'll have to redo your settings if it works. If it doesn't work then you can just revert by removing the .bak. Love the pics dude. Hahahahahaha. Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosaur Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 ^wat? Yeah, updating my drivers was the first thing I tried. I have been running FO3 for about two weeks with zero problems until I installed the GECK and then everything went to hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Are other games OK? There is a patch for the GECK, might be worth installing that. Just to rule out some weird stuff going on with the slides themselves it might be worth trying a mod that replaces them, sure I've seen a couple. Other than that I'm at a loss.

rynosaur Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Playing G-mod while I try to fix it...I'd try that patch but, I don't have the geck now, It crashed on a clean install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacemanSpIiff Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You said you are deactivating ALL the mods. Are you deactivating even the Fallout 3.esm?? if so that might be a big no no right there. Otherwise, the CTD's on game load usually occure when you've got a .esp mod checked and running without making sure all of its master files (.esm's) are checked and running too. Go through your mod list, and check the description of all the .esp's. it will tell you what masters it needs. Make sure you have all these masters running too.

rynosaur Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 No, did a clean install and started with only the FO3.esm, Your'e right that is usually the cause, but I don't even know any more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacemanSpIiff Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hmmm. Okay, maybe...Uninstall the game, and then remove your bethesda softworks/fallout 3 folder entirely. When you do the regular uninstall it will leave behind the 3rd party content...so deleting all of that and then re-installing might fix the issue.

anokii Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Back to basics then; - what's your hardware?- have you installed outside C:\Program Files? (e.g. C:\Games\Fallout3)- what's your patch level on FO3 (1.7?) - I use GOTY as well and I found that even installing the DLC's didn't patch the game correctly so I manually installed the 1.7 patch. If you've got a multi-core CPU have you modified your ini file?Perhaps check out: http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_1.html Great tweak guide a bit long but man does it have some good tips. In particular you may need to; iNumHWThreads=2 under the General section of Fallout.ini (multi-core CPU fix) Try those and see how you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosaur Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Ok, so I have a Asus g73jh, which is way overqualified for this game.The crashes started on an install that had been patched manually, like you said but was installed in Program Files (84x). I had about 40 or so mods. After the crashes started I uninstalled everything and put it on a external 1TB HD. Then I got the same crash, right after install.
