FOMM Problems

[Dre4dedEv1L]

When I installed my mods a few days ago FOMM worked like a breeze... no crashes or errors but when I went back the next day and tried to install my new mods, Windows said: "FOMM has stopped working". thats when I got confused and so I uninstalled FOMM and reinstalled it again as soon as I clicked FOMM again....still I got an error. Also I went to check the crash dump text and I got this:

Fomm 0.13.21

OS version: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1

Right now I am confused :wallbash:

*Sigh* If anyone can help it'll be much obliged :biggrin:

(I'm running FOMM on Windows 7 (I hope this added info can help a bit) so I guess there are errors that can happen in W7.)

Same thing is happening to me, FOMM is working fine then one day it just stops working. Out of curiosity did you delete any files prior to starting FOMM?

[Dre4dedEv1L]

None that I know of except "install info" of FOMM (not orig. in New Vegas Folders) and when I got it to work again I felt it had some errors so I uninstalled it and reintalled it again now the problem stated above happened.

Oh yeah I almost forgot to say that when I checked up the newvegasnexus website and looked for FOMM the creator (kaburke) said he hasn't been online that much on the forums for any problem support so I suppose he made the mod manager, updated it a few times and forgot about it...so problems started coming up. Kaburke is also working on the new mod manager which'll work for all nexus websites and that is the Nexus Client. Edited September 19, 2011 by Dre4dedEv1L

start with the obvious

 

what is the exact directory that this game is installed into

 

post the full path

[Dre4dedEv1L]

Fonger its in:

 

Local Disk D/Bethesda Softworks/Fallout: New Vegas

 

 

also F:3 is in the bethesda folder....lol

That is not a valid install path for New Vegas. All legal copies of New Vegas are installed in "\Steam\SteamApps\common\fallout new vegas", which could be a contributing factor for your troubles.

and the only way for this to happen in the first place

 

would be that this MUST be a PIRATE version of the game :pirate:

[LHammonds]

Well Dre4dedEv1L, how did you manage to install the game outside the steam folder? If you don't have a valid copy of the game (e.g. pirated), then that is the source of your modding woes. Do yourself and the game developers a favor and go buy the game.
