CTD Huge Problem Please Help

[Deleted2568714User]

The game started up fine earlier but would crash when I did something, it would be different every time... one time it would be when I jump, the next when I equip a weapon. Well now the game will still start but will get the "Fallout 3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." error within a second of the game window opening. The intro will still be playing with the music but it will keep scrolling through the slides, not bringing up the menu. So now I can't even play the game. Please recommend anything that I can try before a re-install, because I have had to reinstall the game 5 times since I bought it a month ago. Any help is appreciated!

I would uninstall all mods and see if the game starts up. It probably will.

 

If it does, then add one .esp start the game up. Add one .esp start it up. Repeat until it crashes.

Hello mikefails! Since you are using FOMM I'll assume you have mods installed. Try using BOSS to order your mods. Also try deactivating your mods > make sure the game runs ok > then add one or two mods at a time to locate the problem.

If you're familiar with installing mods manually check the Data folder to make sure FOMM is unpacking folders properly.

Hope this helps Good luck :thumbsup:

I've had bad CTDs with Mart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp running.

 

Also it is possible your .ini file has corrupted. You could try deleting it (make a back up) and see if FOMM can make a new one.

 

Last time I had that problem I ended up reinstalling and then even that didn't work. It turned out a mod had altered my data folder enough that I had to delete all the mod files before a reinstall would work (probably obvious really).

 

Good luck

ok what you did here is set up a dead loop!

the xml for the pipboy need to be default for the lighting mods you have. The pda Mod is the cause of the no run issue., the fix is, replace the xml file in the pip boy folder with the default one, remove the pda mod completely and you should have a running game again. If you do get it running after following this advice, and you able to equip and do almost anything with out too much clipping, thats a big if ! download and install my mod, place it at the bottom. then you should be able to enjoy your game, it's all I can suggest.

mikefails. I noticed in another thread you mentioned you were running low on harddrive space. This may be the reason for CTDs as the game needs space to run. If you can, get a larger HDD or for the time being eliminate some mods.

Also, FYI I had problems with CASM and had to delete it. Read the readme for that mod carefully or for all mods for that matter. Some are very tricky to install and order properly.

 

 

[blove]

Since you just uninstalled FOOK2, did you uninstall the WMK/FOOK2 FOIP and reinstall vanilla WMK?

[Deleted2568714User]

No I did not, and would that cause the CTD.

 

I just uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and still getting the CTD!
