CTD at age 19


Recommended Posts

So I got through the childhood scene at Vault 101 just fine, until the character gets to what should be 19 years old. I CTD after the scene blurs and just before they actually show the faces of the people who are talking to me telling me to wake up. My Load Order via BOSS (and a little manual readjustment for the last two so my Bashed Patch is dead last):

Other info: Steam Fallout 3 GotY version Windows 7, but installed Steam to my D drive, so all my game files are there too. Latest FOSE I also have some mesh replacers, like Type3 body and some other things, but those are installed properly (BAIN installation; I hand checked each package myself). Archive Invalidation Invalidated is also active. Anyone got any ideas? :(

 

-update: Tried reducing some of the other mods and rebuilt the patch. Still crashing. Updated Load Order to show what I got left.

This is why you never do the "tutorial" (starting years) with mods activated, just no need for them until you leave the vault.

So just disable them until you leave the vault. Simples :P

Absolutely no mods activated this time. Not even mesh replacers. Just pure vanilla + DLCs. I'm still crashing at the same place on a brand new game. D:

 

It might not have anything to do with the mods now... Time to figure out what then.

The ESMs of the DLCs you mean? Cuz that's all I have left.

 

-edit: Just having Fallout3.esm loaded is still causing a crash at the same spot...

 

I think it really has nothing to do with mods by now.

 

-update:

The crash is always at the cutscene-type thing that says, "Three years later", and only there so far. It's not ini settings, because I already tried a fresh ini and it's the same result. I'm trying other things now that people are saying on Google now, like ffdshow codecs and whatnot.

Hmmm if it's just the fallout3.esm it can only be one of three things:

Game save.

Fallout.ini

Game corruption.

 

Have you tried making another save game?

Have you considered borrowing a save game off the nexus to just before you leave the cave of vault 101, you can change everything you want then?

Have you tried launching without fose?

Also try changing the graphics settings to low and perhaps the lighting.

In steam have you tried checking the integrity of game cache?

Worst case scenario; Reinstallation.

 

I'm throwing out anything and everything I know right now :P

Usually any of the above methods mentioned in this post and before it fix any issue I've had in the past.

 

Ps. I mean't the Esm's of the mods. In the list you had esm's from other mods. Like I said if they're in the data folder the game WILL load them regardless of anything. So I suggest moving them out of your data folder to prevent the game loading them.

I've tried playing with a completely new save. I also tried skipping the whole tutorial vault 101 thing via FWE if I'm not mistaken, just in case it's limited to that. I CTD right after I get control of my character in that case.

 

I've tried launching without FOSE, and yeah it's still the same. Graphics settings don't seem to matter either.

 

Steam reports my file integrity is okay. It did a quick download and install of some file. I dunno what but it was just one tiny file, probably a config file or something. But that didn't change anything.

 

I used BAIN to install/uninstall my mods, so there were no traces left when I removed them. My Data folder looks like how it would if you have just straight up vanilla.

 

I'm noticing though that although Steam GOTY is supposed to give me FO3 1.7, why does Wrye Flash report that my Fallout3.esm is version 1.4? That's strange.

 

I guess the only thing left to do is to try to reinstall it.

 

 

- edit/notes:

It's not the ini, like I said. Fresh ini made by the Launcher with absolutely no edits will still crash the same way at exactly the same time, which is at that screen fade "Three years later".

- It's should not be a corrupted save. First off, I don't save to the same file twice. It's also a brand new save. I also tried zipping through the whole thing without saving (just the game forced-autosaves), and then making a brand new save outside the G.O.A.T. classroom, where if I walk out of the classroom I end up going into that cutscene that causes the crash.

From the discussion here, I can say it appears as though you may have a corrupt 9*.bik) file Or possible permission issue on that file, if it's the later, it may be caused from Moving the files from one place to another and then putting them back, Windows 7 will lock them up if you do this, A small lock will appear on the files in question. Just an observation, you've done every thing else so that's what's left.
