I also have NMC's texture pack LARGE. ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated is activated through FOMM. The load order was done in BOSS with the odd alteration by me, moving nevada skies etc. I had a similar mod list and load order before and had no issues, now with the addition of these mods, i have a complete failure to launch situation going on. Any ideas? Hopefully it's not something really obvious... -.-

 

Thanks :)

[Deleted4868880User]

Also, FOMM tells me that i have 951 duplicate entries in my load order. After looking online it doesnt appear to be a problem, but 951 seems very high compared to the other times ive read about...

[Xaranth]

I have heard it said that IWS is VERY finicky and highly crash-prone. Try dumping it.

[Deleted4868880User]

Thanks for the tip Xaranth, i'll give it a go. If this is the problem, can you suggest an alternative mod?

[SMB92]

IWS is the best in it's class i'd have to say, idk of any alternatives myself but can you confirm if removing IWS solved the problem?

 

And curiously you're not using Wrye? IWS would crash i would imagine if certain records are being overwritten whilst others are not. Perhaps a quick look in FNVedit will reveal which records are to blame.

[Deleted4868880User]

I disabled IWS - not the problem, still crashed after the first slide on startup. Double checked ArchiveInvalidation, and everything I could think of... (the irony is i did my own load order in Skyrim with no BOSS and about twice as many mods than Fallout - not one issue. maybe i need to just ditch BOSS haha!) And yes SMB92 i do use Wrye, but never bothered in FNV, always ran fine without any need to merge. I'll look in FNVedit and have a look, but somehow i think i may need to start over and hunt down the problem systematically - my guess is it'll end up being the most insignificant mod in my loadorder or something stupid like that. How it goes -_- anyways i'll get back to you on the FNV edit situation.

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it

[Deleted4868880User]

FYI:

quick check in BOSS revealed quite a lot of bash tags, and one dirty edit in Nevada Skies, was an unnecessary landscape texture alteration i think - doubt thatll case any problems though.

 

Ill look into Wrye and FNV edit tomorrow.

[Deleted4868880User]

Well after disbaling all my mods, i still have the problem. Its either the texture Pack i now use (NMC large) or a bad Ini edit. and so the mystery continues...

[Xaranth]

Are you using the 4GB loader? You might be overrunning the memory allocation with that texture pack.

[Deleted4868880User]

Yep 4gb loader is being used. Ive even tried disabling all official DLC and still have a crash, doesnt even get to the main menu. I might uninstall the texture pack and see if that helps.
