DustyVegas Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I just recently cleared out my Fallout directory and re-installed my game to flush out all the unwanted folders. To my dismay however when I tried to Activate Archive Invalidation, the version I use is the one found here http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35935, nothing happened. I then went back to the Archive Invalidation launcher and to my surprise it said that it was still deactivated. I have no idea how to fix this and the way that I've installed it in the past that has always worked was to just dump the bsa and Launcher into steam/steamapps/common/falloutnewvegas, launch the launcher and hit activate and everything would be fine but now thats not working and I really want some help with this because without mods that require Archive Invalidation I just find the game a tad bland. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasodikTiasma Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 install FOMMuse the version in FOMM instead quick and easy Hi, About Fomm and archive invalidation, I have a question. I have Fomm installed, if I activate archive invalidation trough fomm, I won't need to do any other manip, such as creating a new bsa, etc? Also, should I still create an archiveinvalidation.txt file? Sorry if this sounds noob-esque, I just want to make sure. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 FOMM creates the bsa and makes the relevant entries in the ini files for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderdToastMan Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 this works: Download and install ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated. It is for Fallout 3 but that should not matter. Download the MANUAL VERSION and place it in your Data folder. DO NOT use the automated installer. http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944 Once installed, go to Documents\My Games\ FalloutNV and right click the Fallout doc. Look at Properties, if it is Read Only uncheck it. Open the doc and Ctrl+f. Find SInvalidationFile. Change the [Archive] block to look like this: [Archive]SInvalidationFile=iRetainFilenameOffsetTable=1iRetainFilenameStringTable=1iRetainDirectoryStringTable=1bCheckRuntimeCollisions=0bInvalidateOlderFiles=1bUseArchives=1SArchiveList=Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa Do the same thing to FalloutPrefs. Now go to Program Files\Steam\steammaps\common\fallout new vegas and open the Fallout_default config doc. Change the [Archive] block like you did for the Fallout and FalloutPrefs docs. Once all of that is done, open the FOMM. Go to Tools and select Archive Invalidation from the drop down menu. Toggle archive invalidation on and off and then leave it ON. from here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38132 this can also be found on the nexus - wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
