Nitiliak Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Ok, so I've had some problems installing and running Fallout 3. Now that I finally have it running without crashing, some content won't appear. I have the GOTY. I reinstalled the origional Fallout 3 main file after I installed the DLCs, and now the load order in the launcher is messed up. It loads Anchorage and Broken Steel before the main file. I tried launching it from FOMM with the correct load order, but it didn't work Now the problem. The armor from the DLCs won't show. When I equip them, I turn into a huge "!" surrounded by red. Like a missing mesh from Oblivion. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. I love this game :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holynevil Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 did you reinstall Fallout 3? Also, you sure you install all 5 DLCS? and did you patch it to 1.7 or higher? did you make sure some of your mods not override your DLCS mesh and texture?

Nitiliak Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have reinstalled Fallout 3 a couple times. Yes, I install all 5. I'm pretty sure it comes with the latest patch. The only mods I'm using are the DLCs. The armor worked fine before I reinstalled FO3 for the first time. I had to do that to stop it from crashing...

holynevil Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 you wrong, the GOTY Edition don't have the latest Patch, you haev to download it from http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/updates.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitiliak Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'll download the latest patch, but I don't see how that would effect meshes. Like I said, everything showed up before I reinstalled it for the first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anokii Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sounds like; - the mod wasn't installed correctlyor- the mod you downloaded was corrupted / missing some filesor- your game is installed where UAC is a problem and the files were prevented from being copiedor- you haven't "Archive Invalidated" your installation so FO3 can 'see' the new textures.or........

Nitiliak Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 It either wasn't installed correctly, or the UAC was a problem. It works now though. I had to reinstall everything :( I still download it to the default folder because this is a shared computer and other people play the game, so I don't want to make them look for the directory if they need it for some reason. If these problems continue, however, installing them to a different directory should fix the problems. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anokii Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Fix it: No guarantee However it is one of the well known fixes to problems with adding mods - call it a 'tick in the box of known fixes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
