Fallout Never brings up Start Menu

[rodeowearden]

Hi guys, its me again. I recently posted about an issue with some missing Raider meshes that I THINK I may have resolved, but now I have an entirely new problem. Now when I load up FO3, the regular intro slides begin their crawl, and eventually I am brought back to the slide of the power armor helmet, which is where we normally see options like Continue, New Game, Load Game, Options, etc.

 

But the menu never arrives! I keep FRAPS running, and typically I see 20fps during the opening crawl and then it will jump up to 60 or so once everything is loaded and the menu pops up. But now I am sticking at a constant 20 and never get a menu. I dont THINK it is freezing because my music keeps playing, but I end up having to close FO3 via task manager to get out of it.

 

Bizarre right? Any ideas?

Could you post your load order?

[rodeowearden]

I don't actually know how to do that without hand-typing out each mod. Is there a faster way?

Post the load code , I guess that should help too? I'm not a big of modder..

I figured out how to export the load order. I hope this helps, I'd love to return to the Capital Wasteland!

No main menu is usually caused by a plugin looking for a formid in a master that does not exist any more or has been changed to a different formtype. Not being a FWE user, my guess is that it is your FWE/EVE compatibility patch.

[rodeowearden]

@Blove Hey thanks for that, that gave me a direction to start working in.

 

I started disabling my compatibility patches one by one, to no avail. I finally got the situation resolved by disabling FWE completely. No idea why this is the problem, as FWE was working fine during my test runs last week, and nothing significant should have changed. However, FWE is not a must for me, I'll just replace the parts I liked with specific mod modules.

 

As a bonus, my previous problem with Raider meshes seems to have fixed! So thats a twofer!

 

Thanks for your help guys!
