Problem with Operation Anchorage


Recommended Posts

Hi. I bought the Fallout 3 GOTY a few months ago and finally started playing it a couple of weeks ago. It's the 2 discs version the first disc contains Fallout 3 and the second one has all the DLC content. I assume it's the UK version since I live in Finland

So far I haven't had any problems with the game except for Operation Anchorage. It has some missing textures that prevent me from playing it through.

 

Fallout 3, Mothership Zeta, Point Lookout and The Pitt are working without any problems and I suspect that Broken Steel is working too since my level cap has been raised to 30.

 

On Operation Anchorage everything is working like it should until the point when I'm supposed to put on the neural interface suit and get into the simulation pod. The problem is that the simulation pod texture is missing and in its place there is only a red diamond with an white exclamation mark inside.

 

I tried going to Operation Anchorage through console commands (example coc DLC02zCliffs01) and it has a lot of missing textures too (I didn't save the game after using the console commands of course). Also I went inside the locked armory in the outcast base and there was something missing too (One red diamond with the white exclamation mark)

 

So I was just wondering is there any way to fix those missing textures since the Operation Anchorage DLC is working correctly up to the point of going inside the simulation pod?

 

My Fallout 3 data files load order is:

1 - Anchorage.esm

2 - BrokenSteel.esm

3 - Fallout3.esm

4 - PointLookout.esm

5 - ThePitt.esm

6 - Zeta.esm

 

I'm not using any mods as you can see and I'm running the game on Windows XP (Sp3). I don't think it's anything hardware related as everything else in the game is running with no problems and also the other DLCs have no missing textures. I played through Mothership Zeta, I played the mansion part of Point Lookout and also I roamed around there for a bit and now I'm currently playing The Pitt.

 

Any help would be appreciated as I have heard that the Operation Anchorage is really cool DLC (hopefully just as cool as mothership zeta) and I would really like to try it out myself too.

 

Here's two screenshots of the Operation Anchorage missing textures. One is of the missing simulation pod and other one is from the armory in the outcast outpost.

Oh and I'm terrible sorry about the grammar my english is waaay rusty.

 

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention that I have checked that the operation anchorage is activated in the games launchers data files list. I even tried the load loose files setting but it didn't change anything atleast to my knowledge. Also the operation anchorage files are in the correct folder and they do exist here's a screenshot of all the .esm and .bsa files

the red diamond with the white ! means missing meshes, not textures.

 

 

download and install Fallout Mod Manager, found here:http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640

 

once you have that installed and running, sort your load order:

 

fallout3

thepitt

anchorage

brokensteel

pointlookout

zeta

 

 

see if that helps any

Whoops yes I mean meshes. I always get mixed up with textures and meshes.

 

Thank you quicksilverva for the advice. I downloaded FOMM and tried that loading order but still operation anchorage is missing the simulation pod and something in the armory. I tried all the other DLC and every one of them are still working.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this and how this problem could be fixed? It's so weird that all the other DLC work. I just finished playing through the Pitt and I didn't notice any problems in it.

 

Oh yeah and I took a screenshot of my character wearing the Chinese stealh armor it has the same mesh missing problem.

It looked pretty funny when I went to point lookout with it. The red diamond disappeared and all I could see was my characters face and hands floating in the air. Pretty spooky looking thing :biggrin:

Oh and I was just testing out all the other DLCs after changing the load order so I didn't save the game so that shouldn't cause any problems.
