crayfish51 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 hey, so I got FO3 as a gift on Steam and I thought I'd try some of the mods, starting with the wanderer's edition. I downloaded both parts and the patch, and installed both parts using the mod manager. Although If I use the package manager of FOMM to install the patch, the game crashes when I try and load it. If I uninstall the patch using FOMM the game works. The mod page has no instructions on installing the patch and I can't figure out what to do, can anyone help me with this?

prensa Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) crayfish51 - Hello! I don't use FWE myself but Fallout crashing on startup is almost always caused by a missing master (.esm). In other words, you have something activated that needs a file you don't have. Perhaps when you activate the FWE patch it's installing an extra plugin to which you don't have something it needs? I see the FWE patch comes with DLC plugins, using one of those without the corresponding DLC will crash Fallout on start up. For instance using FWE Point Lookout plugin without having Point Lookout will crash the game on start up. If you install the FWE patch, check in FOMM to make sure all the plugins have what they need. Simply left click on the plugin & it's masters will be listed at the bottom. Anything listed as a master must be in your load order for it to work. If you still have trouble, post a question on the FWE comments board here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2761 There are people there like Delamer who know far more about FWE then I do that should be able to help. :) Hope this helps!
