fallout freeze at birth

[JimReap]

Hi

 

i have installed alot of mods recently and im starting a new game.

 

i get to the birth and im asked if i want to be a girl or a boy, i chose boy. The game then doesnt move along. I can still pause etc but nothing happens, it just stays at that point with me staring at dad. Its meant to ask me for a name but it doesnt get to that point.

 

the load order of the mods is:

 

fallout3.esm

anchorage.esm

thepitt.esm

brokensteel.esm

pointlookout.esm

zeta.esm

project beauty.esm

CALIBR.esm

20th century weapons.esm

found this on wikia bugs page

 

Birth scene: Right after Doctor Li leaves and your Mother says "We did it", the game becomes idle; only the E button works making the baby cry.

 

but it doesnt mention a fix or anything

[Fonger]

have you tried this game before adding mods?

[Ghost828]

I'm getting the exact same problems, even without any mods. I managed to bypass it by loading an old save I had just outside of the Vault from before I formatted my PC. But now it freezes during the initial cutscene from Mothership Zeta too :(

 

Specs:

i5 Processor

4gb RAM

Nvidia GTS 250

 

Any ideas?

Always cover the basics (these are the most common causes of start CTD's):

 

- are you patched to 1.7?

- upgrade / remove G4WL (Games for windows Live)

- have you modified your fallout.ini for multi-core CPU

- have you done a default install (e.g. installed to C:\Program Files\.... ) and you run Win7 / Vista - if so uninstall and reinstall to a directory outside of C:\Program Files (e.g. C:\Games): Note that the this doesn't always fix start up CTD's but if you mod it's really a must do because of UAC.

Long read but well worth it

Thanks for the fast reply. Ok, from the top:

 

Patched to 1.7

Ran a clean install, still had the problem.

Now using FOSE and FOMM, so GFWL is disabled.

Modified Fallout.ini

Installed in default directory. Note that my previous Fallout 3 (not GotY edition) did not have any similar issues, even though it was running on essentially the same PC.

 

Just note that it's not a CTD. The characters just go idle during cutscenes. I can still access the console, open the menu, etc. But sicne the NPCs are idle, the cutscene does not progress and because of this I'm stuck.
