popej Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my modded Fallout 3 setup. I can't post my LO at the moment as I'm at work. To be honest the LO might not be much help anyway as I'm not sure it's any single mod that causes this? My best guess is that it's something to do with extensive load orders and bashed patches/merged patches. I used to think it related to either DarN's UI (something to do with a dodgy .xml file?) or EVE but now I'm not so certain. This is what happens: Install mods (no particular culprit) > BOSS > Bashed Patch or Merged Patch > No mouse/keyboard input on the main menu, just the scrolling pictures/bethesda logo. (ctrl + alt + delete causes an illegal operation). It's happened so many times and yet I've never read/heard of a concrete reason as to what causes it. Does anyone have any ideas?

blove Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 No main menu is usually an orphaned record. A record in a plugin whose formid does not exist in its master anymore or has been repurposed and is of a different formtype now. You are probably looking for an outdated compatibility patch.

popej Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the reply! I'm still learning the ropes with FO3edit but this sounds like something I might be able to fix myself (drag and drop FormID entries?). If I post my LO later on do you reckon you might be able to spot the offending article? Ta. Edit: I should point out that I'm pretty certain my LO is completely up to date. I only installed my new FO3 setup recently. I will go through every plugin checking it's the latest when I get home though. It's only about 60 esm/esp's in size and most of those are from 4-5 main mods (usual suspects, FWE, MMM, EVE, RH_Ironsights, Fellout etc).

blove Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 From that list it is probably the FWE/EVE FOIP patch. Try Unofficial EVE compatibility patch for FOIP by poopoopapa and Marcuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
