Archive invalidation is not working

[Fonger]

if you watch that video closely

 

you'll notice the directory he heads to

 

program files(x86)

 

you have a simple case of UAC infestation

 

(Its a gift from Microsoft)

 

and its cured by re-installing Steam someplace else

 

and clearly not in this accursed directory.

Disable UAC checks? Edited November 2, 2011 by crisisninja

Okay, I had the exact same issue with AA not staying active, and my folders also kept becoming read only after I unchecked it.

 

What I did to solve AA not working was, I moved the archive invaildation.exe (the application named Fallout New Vegas ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated!) out of my data folder (I just moved it to my falloutNV directory).

Once moved, when I tried to launch it, I got a message saying something along the lines of 'cannot detect falloutdefault.ini, please select falloutdefault.ini in the next window'. If you navigate to the fallout new vegas directory in that window and select the ini file named 'Fallout_default', once you run Archive invalidation and activate it, it should stay active from then.

 

I tried the FOMM video tutorial myself but it didn't work, even though I preffer to install mods manually... I just seem to have a lot less issues that way, don't ask why :tongue:

 

Hope that helps anyway and good luck

 

P.S. I realize that this is an old post and that you already solved it, but for anybody who finds this who has the same issue, that is why I posted this, because it worked for me and it is minimal hassle :)

This is a mistake a lot of my friends made, when making things read only did you make sure you clicked apply before you clicked OK?

Yea, something is. FOMM crashes when I try activating AI.

Please start a new thread describing your problem (with as much detail as possible) instead of "resurrecting" a year old one from the dead. In particular, include which version of FOMM (link preferred).
