Won't get past the title screen

[MrNeedles]

Hi!

 

I just experienced a crash while trying to enter a new interior. After that, I created a merged patch since this usually fixes that issue for me. Now, whenever I start up my game via FMM, it starts up normally but won't progress past the title screen.

The usual "Play", "Load" etc. won't turn up, instead there's just the background picture soullessly staring at me, causing headaches and severe frustration.

I thought maybe it just needed some time or something, so I went shopping for groceries which took about fifteen minutes. I returned to find it still there, music playing and everything, but still no options displayed.

My jimmies have been severely rustled by this issue, and any help would be appreciated.

Update: Just deleted most recent save files in cas they were somehow corrupted. Then reinstalled the game fresh from the original disc. Didn't work either. Yarrgh!

What is your Load Order and are you using FOSE? I would first try no mods and a non-FOSE launch. This might even be related to Games for Windows LIVE Disabler stuff.

Edit: Fallout Script Extender is enabled. However, if I uncheck all boxes in FMM, the game suddenly works again. Any suggestions on how to determine which mods may be responsible, or do I have to re-check them all one by one and see which one it might be?

... okay, I did it, and apparently it was the RealMIB.esp. No idea why though, since the game worked just fine with it before. :confused:
