Win 10 w/mods, stable in game but constant crashes

Alright, ive been struggling with this for a few days now, and i cant for the life of me figure it out.

Everything is installed right (and I've got no enbs, that was causing crashes earlier), compatibility tested, and very stable and nice in game.

But it randomly ctds every 10-15 minutes or so, for no conceivable reason. I've done everything I can think of:

-Ran through LOOT and F3edit a bunch of times, no problem as far as i can tell

-Went through nmm and fmm and disabled mods one by one. still experiencing crashes.

-hard reinstall of everything, still ctd

One thing to try is to replace all your Unofficial Patches with the Updated Unofficial Patch. I have seen posts questioning the stability of the older unofficial patch and stating that it causes crashes. You will also end up with one esm instead of all the esps for the DLC. Good luck, I have been trying to get F3 stable on W10 for a couple of months. F4 and FNV, no problems. Played it when it came out with no problems. Now it is more of a challenge than anything else. Even Oblivion plays with no problems with lots of mods.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/22370/discussions/0/828937546147175081/ Here is a guide for F3. Follow the note to an updated version. Also I am running the GOG version so some of it doesn't apply to me. LAA is already enabled, no Windows Live. It also says to use BOSS to set load order, but it is no longer updated and doesn't detect newer mods. Since I am having no luck getting crash free it may be of no help but you never know.

A stable game does not crash. You do not have a stable game.

 

Do not ever use LOOT to sort your mods. LOOT has never provided a working load list for Fallout3.

 

You should use B.O.S.S. Disregard the notice on the download page about using LOOT. LOOT does not work for Fallout3. https://boss-developers.github.io/

 

As Majic7 says, use the Updated Unofficial Patch https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19122

 

You should also be using a merged patch to help stabilize your game.

 

Add the Large Address Aware flag to your Fallout.exe https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/6510

 

And New Vegas AntiCrash: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635

 

Go through your load order and remove the conflicting .esp (PureWater).

Much as I respect M48A5's opinions on everything modding, I just reinstalled F3 again, installed a few mods and out of the thirteen I installed BOSS doesn't recognize seven of them. I will have to manually order them myself as per BOSS. One of the was an esm that LOOT recognized and ordered correctly. BOSS didn't know what to do with it. The only answer is to fiddle with mod order yourself if something is unstable.

UPDATE:

As Per m48a5 and Majiic7, made the following efforts:

-unofficial is now updated

-Loot uninstalled, boss now in place

-Merge patch created and loaded

 

-LAA installed and ran (belived i did it properly, copied fose launcher over and got a successful return)

-NVAC added

-Pure Water removed

Results:

Mixed. Got a good solid 2 hours before a random CTD occured again. Also experienced frequent CTD when trying to fast travel via pipboy.

Le sigh. It's very frustrating. I spend 3k on this computer thinking it can run anything, and it's getting its ass kicked by a game from 2008.

Wouldn't it be nice if Bethesda just patched and optimised it already?

Thanks for the help guys, let me know if you think of anything else I can do.

Okay, this is what I found works for me:

 

I was going through the same thing and found this fix.

 

Admittedly, I've not yet played a very long game, but when/where the " usual CTD / Locks " would happen, they have not. :smile: So, so far so good and other's posted that it worked for them:

 

Yes, this works .. I have played long enough now to know that it worked nicely for me. :) Even in the usual places where the CTD or LOCKS would happen - NONE HAPPENED! Also playing a long duration where CTD or Locks would happen ... again NONE!

 

I hope this works for you! :)

 

In:

 

< dir > \ My Games \ Fallout3 \

 

You will find a FALLOUT.INI

 

Back up this and/or do what I did and make these changes:

 

 


 

; added 01/29/2018 was bUseThreadedAI=0
bUseThreadedAI=1
; added that was NOT in the ini
iNumHWThreads=2
bChangeTimeMultSlowly=1
Yes, the notes ; added ... are indeed saved in any and all of my .ini files so I have a track of what I did .. and the commands to fall back onto if something should go wrong.
