FIX for Archive Invalidation crashes!

Recommended Posts

EDIT: This is a PARTIAL fix, This allows custom textures to work, but may break some other mods.

 

I was really starting to get ticked that I could not use mods that changed textures, BECAUSE Archive Invalidation would always crash the game on start. I dove into about 5 different forums, including this one, and was able to piece together a fix!

 

Using several of the people's issues and "fixes" I found the underlaying problem. Here is how to get rid of that pesky problem.

 

1. go to your installation folder.

2. go to Data

3. go to Menus

4. go to main

5. DELETE hud_main_menu.xml

 

Something hiding in that file causes the crashing. I was too lazy to figure it out. Since it doesn't seem to do anything else to the game, I didn't bother looking for the code messing it up.

If you had archive invalidation on and you were crashing and deleting "hud_main_menu.xml" allowed the game to start then that XML file had a missing XML include. Whatever mod installed that file was no longer fully installed.

ah, i checked into it. You are quite correct >_< Only one mod got disabled out of the few that needed it. Atleast this is allowing textures now, at the price of a mod that wasnt really needed.

This is what worked for me.

 

I have DarNified UI F3 alpha (with hotfix) as well as ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! activated and it set bInvalidateOlderFiles in my fallout.ini to 1. If DarNified UI is installed, you have ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated! activated and bInvalidateOlderFiles is set to 1 while you have Unified HUD Project's hud_main_menu.xml installed in the \Data\menus\main folder, the game WILL crash on startup. (at least this happened for me) I installed Adjustable HUD - Darnified over DarNified and once Adjustable HUD coped over the hud_main_menu.xml, the game loaded up just fine for me.

 

BTW, I'm running Windows 10 on an AMD processor with a ATI video card.
