Running Multiple Mods = Crash

[Puckstopper]

FOMM LIST BELOW

 

 

Still crashes whenever I try to go inside of towns or buildings.

 

I do not know what is causing these problems, I re downloaded all of my mods, uninstalled then reinstalled once again, and I'm only using 6 of the mods I have just to test it. I even tried to deactivate Windows Live in game so it wouldn't f*** me up.

 

I bought this game on steam, so if that is the problem, PLEASE TELL ME so I can go buy retail and have this f***ing game work. I am raging hard over this.

can you fast travel??

and can you save the game??

if you can save the game, but can't fast travel, the problem is with the auto saves

if you can't save at all, then the problem is with saving

 

what i would recommend for both cases, is that you get FO3Edit, read the manual, and do a master update

it is rather easy, and i know it solved my saving problem

so it might solve yours as well :)

oookay, FO3E installed, reading manual, thats some hardcore stuff in there, im having a little trouble understanding some of it, but im trying a conflict detection now

 

 

i think that maybe, i shouldnt have found out about FO3 modding, ive been gaming for damn near 14 years, and this stuff is waaaay over my head

 

but, heres what showed for my conflict search

 

 

master plugin list

 

mods

 

continued on next post

well, doing a master update is really easy, to tell the truth

the reason why you should read the manual, is to prevent yourself of doing something that could ruin your game, as this program allows you to actually edit the mods you have

 

basically, for doing a master update, find the FO3Edit exe file (called FO3Edit.exe :biggrin:)

then make a copy of the file, and change it's name to FO3MasterUpdate.exe

then all you have to do is run this file

if all goes well, it should tell you that everything is ok, and you can just quit it and enjoy the game

if it reports a problem, then try to solve it (it usually gives a good description of the problem, so it helps fixing it)

 

also note that after any time you change your load order, you will need to run a Master Update again, but this is a small price to pay for the game running smoothly with mods :)

Filters

[WastelandAssassin]

what the hell are those filters??

i've never messed up with FO3Edit, i just used it as it is (which worked great)

 

just try the master update

trust me, sometimes simple is best

[Puckstopper]

and finally, end results of conflict search

[WastelandAssassin]

i don't think it is a conflict problem

many people have reported save problems with modded FO3

the only solution i recall is a master update......

then again, haven't played the game in a while, so there might be other solutions

still, go safe and simple :)

KK, did the Master Update, and it did act differently than the normal edit, but it didnt specifically tell me if anything was different or fixed or not working, is there anything specific i should look for?

[WastelandAssassin]

yes

you see, it will start writing lots of stuff, really fast

you don't have to read it, it is basically converting all your folders into a better organized way (not sure how to explain it, as i can't really recall what it does, since i didn't use it in a long while, and don't worry, it's simple and safe)

 

now, in the end, you will see that no new lines are written

if in the last lines it says something like ok, you can close the program, then it is all ok, and should work better now

 

if, however, it reports a problem (you will see that it stops the process and tells you what the problem is) then you should try to fix the problem it is reporting (stuff like missing master or such, not really hard to fix issues)

 

run until you get an all clear, and that's it :)
