Fallout 3 Crashes only when I shoot an NPC

Firstly I am new to the modding scene as this is my first modded experience but i do know my way around a computer, but could still use the advice :3

 

I've followed a mod installer series by gopher on youtube and installed all mods and patches ect. and the game runs fine on vanilla & even better on the modded version with all the updates, luckily I have a very good pc and can run GTA V on the max settings so i should have no problem running this and in fact i don't, its very smooth and i have no frame rate or stutter problems., but on the modded game when ever i shoot an npc the game instantly freezes with no warning or delay, just freezes in place but the game carries on in the background and i can hear voices and gun shots, if i shot around the npc there is no problem but when I hit one it freezes. I can explore the entire wasteland with no trouble and i can get hit by enemies but even fi i use a melee weapon the game freezes on impact.

 

I've tried adding in patches and using bUseThreadedAI=1 & iNumHWThread=2 but whenever i load up the game they just reset to their original values each time :/

 

The mods I have installed are:

FWE - Alternate Travel should load after your last .esm.

 

Use only one Optional Restore Tracers or none.

 

If your game is installed in Program Files, uninstall it, restart your computer and install it in a location outside of Program Files. Do not use the Fallout 3 launcher to start the game. It will remake the .ini files to match what is shown in the Fallout 3_default.ini.

 

Use only one game performance mod. Either Unofficial Patch, BetterGamePerformance or FO3 Error Fixes. Don't ask me, I don't use any of them.

 

Blackened patch is in the wrong place (patches must load after the last mod they patch) and you are using the wrong version of Mart's Mutant Mod. Blackened will only work with the Paradox Ignition version of MMM. If that is the one you are using, disable and delete all the MMM .esp. Do not uninstall them, delete them. You still need the files in the game

 

Uninstall the FWE-Project Beauty.esp.

 

Remake your merged patch.

 

There are also game specific forums. Look for "Nexus site forums". Left click on it and you will be taken to a page with all the supported games listed.

 

Please do not start multiple posts with the same topic title.

Thanks for the help and sorry id dint realize I poster more then once :/

How do I install a game outside of steam as when i install it says "all downloads will occur through steam"?

 

Also FWE-Project beauty.esp is only in the plugins and I can only disable it as to remove it I have to uninstall the whole FWE mod ??

I was following gophers tutorial and some mods had been updated so I had to use blackened but wasnt sure on which patch to get or which MMM to get, could someone help me get the right mods and patches please :D

I've done everything you told me too and know it just seem like the game is crashing but not too often like every couple of minutes and i can shoot people,ive made a folder in my computer where the game is and the fallout_default.ini stays the same when i load and it keep the bUse Threaded=1 & iNumHWThread=2 but in my documnets the fallout.ini keeps on reverting to the default :/ I managed to get through the whole vault, through megaton, defuse the bomb and then go to the super duper mart and then it started to crash D:

Follow this link for instructions on how to set up the game when you have a new operating system: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1465357-installing-fallout-3-with-windows-78-and-xp/

 

There is a way to have the steam folder outside of program files. However, I do not have steam and never will, so I can't help you there. I have read that there are instructions to move the steam folder available on steam.

Did you ever fix the issue? I followed Gopher's mod guide too, and I have tinkered with it so much, but never have found a solution. It ONLY crashes when shooting at enemies. (I actually never tried shooting at other npc's but I bet it would crash there too. It's like every 2-5 enemies I shoot before crash)

 

Thread necromancy and wrong forum section.
