geckonator9 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 As it says in the title, I have a problem with crashing while the Underground Hideout mod is installed. The crashes only happen when I enter a new area, fast travel, or save, so I tried the solution everyone suggested of killing yourself at the start of each session. This worked until a few days later when it started crashing regardless of what I did. I only have 1 mod installed besides the Hideout, and that's a simple one that makes the T-51b repairable with assault rifles (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/4984 if you want to check). I DO have all of the Add-Ons installed, but it was from the GOTYE disk, meaning the thing about loading them using Windows Live mentioned on the mod page doesn't apply. I tried using FO3Edit but I'm such a noob at mods that I uninstalled it as soon as I realized that I'm liable to do more harm to my files. Does anyone have any ideas about what my problem is and how to fix it? The only problem between the two mods i can think of is that they both change the list of things that can be repaired with assault rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The crashes only happen when I enter a new area, fast travel, or saveSounds like the infamous multi-core bug to me: If you have a multi-core CPU, like the Quad, and you experience a Fallout 3 crash when loading interiors (Specially in closed spaces): - Open the folder My documents / My Games / Fallout3 - Edit the file FALLOUT.ini. - Inside FALLOUT.ini look for a group called [general]. - Inside the general group, after all the configuration parameters, just copy and paste the following 2 lines: bUseThreadedAI=1iNumHWThreads=2 Now close and save the Fallout 3 configuration file. The only problem between the two mods i can think of is that they both change the list of things that can be repaired with assault rifles.Hmmm I can't imagine the Underground Hideout changing repair lists.

geckonator9 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Fixed, it turns out that my autosave and quicksave files were getting corrupted from too many overwrites, and it crashed at any time the game would autosave. The solution was to delete all of my saves after it started happening, including the auto and quick saves, and to reinstall both of my mods. I actually did have crashing problems at first and got the same advice that you said off of somewhere else. Finally, the UH adds a new weapon called the M4 Eotech that is repaired using assault rifles. Case closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoma64 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You should turn off autosaves entirely, and use this mod: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/3729 CASM is a great autosave system. Be warned though: don't use CASM's F8 quickload function. Also, don't use the "continue" button from Fallout 3's main menu if you've been doing that. Always load using the... well, the load button on the Fallout 3 main menu XD. That's what really helped reduce crashes for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
