roboroller Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I've been having a hell of a day. I already posted one topic here, but that situation has rapidly gone out of control to the point where I feel I need to make a separate post in order to get help for the problem. Long story short, I f***ed some stuff up in my data folder and with FOMM messing around with stuff, I'm not sure how, and it doesn't even matter. I wanted to get everything back to "0" and so some stuff over again, so I cleared the data folders, un-installed FO3 (I have the game from Steam) and re-installed. Everything fresh, no mods in the data folder, the game Crashed to Desktop on the "Please Stand By Screen" I delete every folder I can find that has anything to do with Fallout 3 on my computer, do an uninstall, reinstall...same problem. I use download and use rovio uninstaller to alledgedly remove every trace of Fallout 3 from my computer...uninstall and reinstall...the game crashes to desktop on the "Please Stand By" screen. I've wasted an entire Saturday uninstalling and reinstalling this game over and over again and I'm at my wits end. I have no idea what's causing this problem or what to do. Any ideas? edit: nevermind, got the problem fixed. Had to delete the .ini files in the mygames/fallout3 folder. I guess Revo Uninstaller didn't get those for whatever reason. Dumb. edit: nevermind again, s*** is happening once more. f*** it, I'm done. I've wasted an entire weekend trying to get this game to JUST f***ing START, I'm beyond livid at this point. I fell like throwing my damned computer out of the window. Edited February 14, 2011 by roboroller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thsealord Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, when I've done reinstalls, I found that the problem often stays unless I manually go in and delete EVERYTHING to do with the game before the new install. Glad things are back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad things are back on track. Actually the problem now persists once again. I started carefully re-adding the mods I had and everything got f***ed up again. I have no idea what it is I'm doing to this game to make it keep doing this. I'm on my last nerve with it and I'm about to just give up altogether.

Sounds like your current problem is with the mods, I'd either uninstall them one at a time until it launches or remove them all and add them one at a time making sure they work after each install. It can be a bit of a pain to find the problem mod but that's life with modded games. ;) PS You also might want to double check that all the requirements for each mod have been installed like FOSE, etc. Edited February 15, 2011 by csgators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
