Fallout 3 crashes at the "Please Wait" screen.

[BadDragoness]

Hi

 

I have just reinstalled Fallout 3 and put in a few mods. But when I start up it crashes to desktop every time. I have tried deactivating all my mods but it did not help. I have never started up the game before I put in the mods so this is the first time. I have updated it to the last version and I have all the programs I need so I do not know why it can not get past the "Please Wait" screen.

Does anyone know why it keeps crashing?

 

Thanks

You should read the incompatabilities on the mods you installed. The "please wait" crash happens when there's a conflict between modifications installed, a jacked up load order, etc. I would suggest going to fallout3nexus and exploring each of the mod's descriptions or readmes. I can tell you right now there's likely going to be a crash with RH ironsights and Fook2 installed without the RH ironsights fook2 plugin... which is unstable at best.

 

It also appears you have two forms of air support, enclave commander and the TSC air support. There's another likely conflict there.

 

Hopefully you used FOMM to install your mods; else you may have to uninstall everything, delete the folder and reinstall it all.

I have reinstalled the game and added few mods this time with a few fixes. But it suffers from random crashes. Often the crashes happen at loading between cells. But they can also happen at other times. And another problem that I have is that my weapons are so far form me. I can see my elbow and the end of my weapons when holding them normally. I suspect that it has something to do with iron sights but I do not know.
