Getting crashdumps with FOMM. Please help!

[Superrpgman]

Hi, um, I think this is my first time posting here after at least a year or so.

 

Anyways, I keep getting what are crashdump related issues when trying to auto sort my files in Fallout Mod Manager for Fallout 3. I was told to ask for help here, as I'm not sure what else to do.

 

Here's the crashdump info:

First thing you should do: Get the newest version of FoMM. (0.13.21 is the latest version) Link: FoMM

 

The process cannot access the file 'D:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\data\fallout3.esm' because it is being used by another process.

 

Odd. Have you tried looking in the task manager t see if there are any Fo3 related processes active? A simple reboot will do the trick too of course.

God I feel stupid. Turns out that I just can't auto-sort FOMM when I have FO3 running. I always have them it set up when the game is running in case the game crashes, to save time.

 

Thank you.

No need to feel stupid. Happens to the best.

 

You're welcome. :thumbsup:
