Oldphilip Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hello, I was hoping someone on the message board could help me with my issue here. I just came across the Nexus and thought that putting on a few mods would be pretty cool. SO I already have installed the Enclave Commander mod when I decided to download the Apoc Armory. But in the description of that mod it says that I would have to manually go in turn the Archiveinvaldition script to a different setting, however it suggested dowloading the Archive activator (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944) and mod manager. When I downloaded the activator and used it, Fallout 3 started to crash on startup. Something it hasn't done in a while. (When I first got it I had to download a patch to get it to work at all.) I'm wondering if the Archive activator or even the Mod Manager somehow messed with the game to cause it to stop working or if either one somehow deactivated the patch.Thanks for any help.

I assume, and hope you have FoMM. Go into FoMM and click on all your addon's and check to make sure the master file is in the list and turned on.99% of my game crashes with mods are due to missing a master file, or two mods have a major conflict with eachother. I do not know of any compatability patches for those however.If all else fails, uninstall all you're addons, and reinstall them. (Also on a side note, I used to use apoc armory, but I stopped due to it causing some issues. If you ever want to stop using it, you may need a new save, because every NPC in the game will be walking around with pool cues out).Also, a lot of the items are "false" damage values on the weapon, so it's hard to tell what does what.

But I did what you told me, and I unclicked APOC armory, and lo and behold it works again. So maybe there are some conflict errors with the APOC mod and some master files. Thanks for your help.

The crash is usually caused by either a conflict or a missing master filesYou can check online for any compatability patches to install if you want to use APOC.
