FO3 Modded CTD

[silverjoe]

hello all, recently reinstalled FO3 with a load of mods e.c.t, remembered how much i love the game :D

 

then i remember why i dont play it.. the crashing. it happens usually after 5-10 mins of gameplay, mostly just when walking about in the wasteland, sometimes on transitions.

 

heres my current specs

WIN7 64bit

AMD Athlon II X2 250 @3.2ghz OC

MOBO M2N68 Plus

ATI 4870 1GB

SEAGATE 500GB 32MB HDD

4GB DDR2 800MHZ RAM

 

running fo3 with FWE, MMM, WMK, and some others, was originally using Project Beauty, but i thouhght it might be causing crashes so removed it.

 

also using archiveinvalidation invalidated and NMC texture pack reduced

 

heres my currenty loadorder

anything wrong with that? anything i need?

 

on a side note i had to remove the FWE - EVE FOIP patches, due to causing menu freezes ( i think it was outdated)

 

i have patched my .exe to 1.7 and set havokthreads in my .ini to 2

 

please please please help solve the crashes :P

 

attached is the .ini file (in .txt format, for some reason nexus doesnt like me uploadin it as .ini)

*bump* anyone??

 

i just tried masterupdate with fo3edit and i managed to play the game for about 15 minutes of wandering and i entered the super-duper mart, game crashed about 1 second after i entered...

EVE did just this number on my game. I'm not sure why, but it seems like even with FOIP patches, it causes some weird issues for me. Not to mention the Unofficial Patch + FWE is a known crash magnet. Edited June 2, 2011 by Jeoshua

wow. really?

 

i might try getting rid of EVE and see how it goes

[rickerhk]

You have the wrong version of EVE for the FOIP plugins. The FOIPs were made for the previous version of EVE (the version that didn't have EVE.esm)

I don't know about Havok threads, threaded blood, etc. - I would leave those alone. It's these that fix the multicore problem:

 

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

[silverjoe]

i found an updated version of the EVE-FWE plugins, and so-far so good, played for a good half-hour before getting a CTD, the crashes seem to be mostly on interior-exterior transitions, or vice versa,

 

can anyone conferm incompatibility between UF3P and FWE?

 

and i will try disabling the other threading configs, and sticking to the main 2

 

on the subject of INUMHWTHREADS = 2

 

i dont seem to have that setting anywhere in the ini.. should i add it in?

Edited June 2, 2011 by silverjoe

[rickerhk]

Yes - that setting you have to add because it's not there by default.

[silverjoe]

so what should i change HAVOKTHREADS to? some people say 5.

I would just leave it at the default 0, and leave all the others at default until you get a stable setup.

[gamefever]

Wait FWE plus the unofficail patch are a "known" crash magnet???

 

I don't remember having the Up's on my game with FWE when I got it working but that was a ways back.
