Fo3 crashes with mods.

[prefic]

first of all... sorry for starting new thread about this. I did some searching and did read lot of post about making mods work. But mine FO3 just crashes at start up.

I have tried different combination of those mods. But cant get it work. :(

 

os: win vista.

 

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated done succesfully.

 

official mods + about everything on the list = crashes at start up

official mods + fellout = starts to menu

official mods + about everything on the list - fellout = starts to menu

I have not tested does the game actually run with those mods, even if it start to menu.

 

Maybe some package is missing?

Maybe they are in wrong sequence?

I thought and loaded FOMS. allthough after i installed it, it did start.

 

Little bit of frustrated about messing with windows. I normally use linux.

Check out: http://www.tweakguid...Fallout3_1.html (long read but more than worth it)

 

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

 

- Do you have a legal copy? There are known issues with dodgy copies out there and we won't support those who pirate.

 

- are you patched to 1.7?

 

- upgrade / remove G4WL (Games for windows Live) - Personally I remove it

 

- if you have a multi-core CPU 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 issues with UAC.

 

- check your drivers and update where necessary. Note that some video driver versions can cause or introduce more problems than they fix - these are usually in game problems (e.g. stuttering, fpx, etc)

 

- turn off all autosave features and either use CASM or manually save. (not suspected of causing of start up CTD's)

 

Last but not least - always check FO3 for problems by running it prior to modding it. That way you know for sure that FO3 does launch / work before you start adding more complexities to the troubleshooting.

 

 

(Yes - this is my stock standard reply and I simply cut and paste it now)
