Crashing on startup

[wabbawabbajack]

My game crashes just before the main title screen appears. LOOT doesn't detect any errors. Any help appreciated My error message is:

FOMM is complaining that some source file is not in a recognizable (internal) format. Unfortunately it doesn't say which; just a variable name "p_strPath". That variable name suggests there is a problem with the path name. And it is being passed as a parameter at "BuildFomodFromSource". All of which suggests to me either you are trying to create a FOMOD of some mod rather than installing one into the game; or some FOMOD package is badly built.

 

So, I would look at whichever FOMOd you tried to create yourself. Otherwise you need to troubleshoot the FOMODs you are using. (They are just ZIP files with a different extension, and you can open them directly in 7Zip or whatever and test the contents for possible corruption.) These two links might help:

• FOMM and FOMODs for Dummies by Zumbs
• FOMOD Validator by Ganda

 

I'm not familiar with "pyDoF.esp", but the name suggests it's a Python "Depth of Field" mod. (That's the problem with acronyms.) Suggest you recheck that it is supposed to be installed in the "Data" folder. Such (if that is what it is) are usually located elsewhere.

 

You really need to use a "Merge Patch File" with that collection of mods. Please see the 'Third Rule: The Rule of One' and 'Merge Patch File' sections of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article.
