FALLOUT3.exe - Application Error

[phoneyLogic]

@Bandit Ngebak

I think this does not work for XP :wink:

What's your OS?

 

 

@7thsealord

Did FOSE fix the problem?

I'm using Windows XP with service pack 3.. I think the DEP feature already used after Win XP SP2 and later with supported by Processor.

I can reduce my problem with that error message lately with disabling the DEP.. Mightbe you could try to disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and select Fallout3.exe for exception, as this has worked for me.

To disable DEP..Right Click My Computer >> select ADVANCE Tab >> Settings >> Go to Data Execution Prevention >> Click option "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select"...then browse to your Fallout3.exe and ADD it. You need to restart after it to take effect..

 

Thanks for that thought. Became sort of acquainted with DEP a few weeks back when installing FO3 Configator (the ReadMe strongly recommends "excluding" Configator on DEP, and provides basic instructions on how). I've since set DEP to Windows and Essentials only. See how we go there.

 

Anyhoo, started the game again from the ground up - the entire Vault 101 song and dance show. So far, so good. The only problem has been with the 5mm Rimfire Revolver (mod apparently lacks a mesh - covered on another thread). No biggie - could have been deeply embarassing if I only discovered this problem in the middle of combat (whole screen blanks out when equipping weapon), but that's all.

@7thsealord

Did FOSE fix the problem?

 

Too early to tell just yet. Fingers crossed.

 

The really annoying thing is that, previously, it has been the sort of problem that jumps up again JUST when you thought you had it beat.

 

I did load up with a bunch of extra mods before starting the current game, including a few associated with the last couple of crashes. So, if it's still gonna happen, it should be soon. Hopefully, I put FOSE in the right spot (the way my luck has been going ... :rolleyes: ) - everything in the same folder as Fallout3.exe and stuff like GECK, right?

 

 

And on something of a tangent, but still possibly relevant, my current load order is below. I know that esms should go at or near the top, and that certain things need to go before certain other things anyhow, but if anybody has more specific suggestions (or knows of certain things that should NOT go together), I would be glad to hear them.

That's a rather long list of mods! Afraid I don't know all of those, but one I did spot:

MaxLevelWorkaround-BS.esp

MaxLevelWorkaround-HP-BS.esp

 

As I recall you're only supposed to use one of those, not both of them.

 

It sounds as if you've installed FOSE in the correct location, did you edit your shortcut to ensure FOSE runs with Fallout 3? You might want to check out Little Boy, a small utility that I find very useful.

[7thsealord]

Thank you for that link, G_UK.

 

Long mod list, but the majority are either very minor tweaks or one-of-a-kind items.

 

You should have seen it before I removed Minihideout and Alpha-CEV (both of which ran OK, by the way). ;) Plus, I tend to run with the graphics toned down some - eg. FO3's grass is horrible to look at and a performance hog, so I just don't have it.

 

No problems with the MaxLevelWorkarounds that I am aware of. I beleive that these cover different aspects of hitting or exceeding Level 30. There is a different set of MaxLevelWorkaround mods for games WITHOUT Broken Steel, so maybe that is what you are thinking of.

 

Currently tooling around Megaton, building up all the necessities of life (firepower, armour and healing) and getting set for the SupaDupa Mart. Still no problems - system has been as good as gold thus far.

Good to know your game is running well so far, hopefully the crash error is now gone for good!

 

I checked up on the MaxLevelWorkaround mod and, according to the readme for the non-Broken Steel version:

This comes as two ESPs, MaxLevelWorkaround.esp and MaxLevelWorkaround-HP.esp.

 

MaxLevelWorkaround.esp

- Resets your character's level to 20 every time you level up.

- You keep the Perk and Skills you choose during level up, but not your hit points.

- Because you stay level 20, you keep your Karmic Title, and Three-Dog still talks about you (or he should anyway).

 

MaxLevelWorkaround-HP.esp

- Works as above, but increases your hit points to match your "real" level.

 

Use one or the other, do not use both!

I would think it's fairly safe to say that the same would apply to the Broken Steel version, so you do need to remove one of the .esp's for that mod.

[7thsealord]

Busted up the SupaDupa Mart gang. Oh YEAH, baby. I'm BA-ACK!

 

One of the MaxLevel mods has been removed.

 

Assuming my game continues to be so (uncharacteristically) well-behaved, I might just raise the ante. Thinking of deliberately loading one of the mods I discarded because they seemed to bring the original problem out. Just to see what happens. Guessing it should be OK, but I'll find out for sure.

So you find a way to fix this or nobody know how to fix this? I want the game will work!!! :wallbash:

Well, shahr, my specific problem does seem to have been solved by adding FOSE (TO ALL NEWBIES: IF YOU WANT MODS, FIRST INSTALL FOSE IN YOUR FO3 FILE. TRUST ME ON THIS!) :D .

 

I'm just being cautious. Few things suck nearly as much as thinking everything OK, only to have the same problem unexpectedly return.
