MasterCanterbury Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey, I tried getting FO3Edit to work when I first started modding, but as the same problem kept appearing I just shoved it aside. Now, I would like to get it working as I do CTD quite often. The problem is, that whenever I create a merged patch using FO3Edit, it doesn't appear in my load order in FOMM or even in my data directory. Then again, after looking at the edit window, it says MergedPatch.esp at the bottom. But under it, on the bar, it still says it's adding my last file. Just seems to do it forever. I haven't seen anyone with this problem and I've tried searching lots... it would just do wonders to get this working. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElderMalaclypse Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 After creating a merged patch it should immediatly appear at the bottom of you mod list in the left hand panel of FO3Edit.Also, along the very bottom it continues to display [yourmergedpatchname.esp] Adding master "last file in your mod list". That is normal. After saving your merged patch (Ctrl+S) or exiting FO3Edit and saving that way, a yourmergedpatchname.esp file should then appear in the [install path]fallout 3/data folder. It should also appear in FOMM though you'll need to place a check next to it for activation. I gather these two things are what is not happening. If you created and saved the merged patch in FO3Edit correctly and it does not show up in the fallout 3/data folder, perform a search of your hard drives for the merged patch file you created, because it was saved to somewhere. If you find it in a folder other than fallout 3/data then my guess would be that on installation of either FO3 or FO3Edit there was mixup in the install directories. Let me know if thats the case, there may be a way to alter the install path in the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then had a similar problem of not being able to find the new mergrd patch esp. in my load order or my FO3 Data folder. Turns out that Windows User Account Control (UAC) was preventing FO£Edit from saving the file for "security" reasons. I disabled UAC, re-started my computer and created a new merged patch that did now show up in my load order no problems. Maybe you can try this too, it sounds like we had the same problem.

Swampfox92 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I had this same problem many years ago, and I was never able to solve it. A guy pmed me this way after I stopped playing, but maybe this is where it is: users/(youruser)/appdata/local/virtualstore/programfiles(86)....fallout3/data if you can't find it, perhaps reinstalling FO3Edit will solve the issue.
