My (modded) Fallout 3 freezes after loading a file

[HappyMSI]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to play Fallout 3 with its DLC and with mods so I jumped in.

After a failed attempt (done wrongly) I uninstalled it, reinstalled it on my PC (rather than on my external hard drive).

It's from GOG, selected the english version (I'm not), clicked on "Check/repair" from GOG which added a 300mb download.

I started by following that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTT9bkZytzI and picking what was interesting for me.

I have put some (many) mods while following carefully the instructions for the big ones changing the game but not everytime on the little ones and those who add new adventures/quests.

 

So I started with : FOSE, ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated, the 4GB multicore patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/21888/?) then Fallout ModManager.

 

With the mods I first used DUI then the others with some compatibility patches and some which are supposed to prevent crashes. In the order.

My PC running on Windows 10 : Computer Ultrabook - ASUS VivoBook S401QA-EB976T - AMD A12-9720P - RAM 8Go

I've done the bInvalidate =1 and the extra line under it. I've tried running on window mode. I'm lauching from FOMM -> FOSE version. The original .exe as well as this one are set on Admnistrator. I have tried by disabling the auto-save and without overwriting a previous file. Same with CASM mod.

The game froze at the character creation if I clicked on some of the new added races. The froze appeared right after the esthetical validation. So I tried again and avoided to do so, it worked.

I've made a few new games and was saving up to outside the vault. Here's my problem Whatever is the save I load, so no matter if I'm in the vault as a toddler, butchering radroaches or if I'm outise after a few minutes at the entrance, the game freezes after the same amount of time after loading any file: nearly one minute (if I'm not in pause).

So I would think it's not from a mod or because of an incompatibility between two of them, am I right ? Because up to there, in a single run, everything is fine. I have Fallout NV too and when I launch it (untouched by mods), I don't have this problem.

I need your help people of the internet ! I'm on it for a few days now.

And now I'm realising that the main menu of the game has the word "quit" cut in half and when I do quit the game from there, it becomes a black window and the program doesn't answer (I have to close it with Ctrl + Alt + Supr)

First, you load list is not in order. Everything after Fallout3.esm is incorrect.

 

Fallout3

Anchorage

ThePitt

Streetlights

BrokenSteel

PointLookout

Zeta

Is the correct order. Mods with multiple plugins should load in the same order.

 

Th game will freeze at character creation if you have mods enabled. My game freezes at the birth scene if I have mods enabled. I have found that if you play to just before the birthday party and make a save, then enable your mods the game plays better

 

You need to get a mod sorting tool for you mods. Don't use LOOT. It has never sorted Fallout 3 mods correctly.

 

You need to actually read you load list since you have conflicting plugins loaded.

[HappyMSI]

Thanks for the quick reply.

I will try as you suggest. Apart from Fallout3.esm, I thought it didn't matter in which order were the DLC.

But isn't it sometimes highly recommanded/necessary to go on a new game to paly with particular mods ?

To enable the mods, do I only have to uncheck/check them on FOMM or do I need to go on "package manager" and deactive/activate them (considering the current state (having them activated) of course) ?

 

I will look for one but if you know one in particular that is effective and without problems ...

 

Apart for the order for the same mod with plural plugins (sorry if I'm not using the correct words), I don't see any conflicting mods, apart for those who simply overwrite but I'm near a newbie so ...

[M48A5]

Mart's Mutant Mod is not in the correct order.

 

I have always relied on B.O.S.S. to sort Fallout3 mods. LOOT is very good for the other Bethesda games, just not Fallout3.

 

It is available here: https://boss-developers.github.io/ Just disregard the use loot suggestion. As far as I know, LOOT has never been fixed for Fallout3.

 

The only problem with B.O.S.S. is that the master list has not been kept up to date. If you message Purr4Me, she may give you a link to an updated master list.

 

Just look for her in the Fallout3 Mod Troubleshooting forum. Use private messenger.

[HappyMSI]

Good news for the moment !

Ok so I invalidated all, put the Fallout 3 and its DLC esm in the order you told me, made a new game, saved right before the screen turn white when you're a toddler following your dad before the birthday (the screen just begin to turn white). I've put the mods in the order suggested by the modders themselves (I'll put the list). Tried to load the file every X mods (I did it 8 times) and check if I pass the minute. Yep, each time except near the end when the game just would not lauch and I figured out instantly : a patch compatibility (WeWantMore + EVE) because I have EVE included in FOOK and not by itself, an Updater for RobCo Certified that was in the full package for this mod I uncheck and deleted, an esp.file for a mod I had invalidated before and deleted (Seducing women).

Then I checked plugins of same mods' order considering what "master" file they had and the DLC order you told me.

I went up to megaton, blowing myself to make the game automaticly load and I also tried to manually load. No problem at all.

So for now ... it seems to work and I'm ******* glad. Thank you very much.

 

Now little things : my character does have weird physics when dying (reduced legs) but I don't bother. I won't lose my time anymore juste for this.

I wonder if I will put MTC Wasteland Travellers V2. If I do, can you tell me in which order I should put it ? Marts Mutant Mod description says this :

 

 

* All MMM modules load *after* Mart's Mutant Mod.esp
* All the above MMM .esps are loaded last in your load order

Also, make sure MMMF3 .esps are loaded last in your load order.

 

but MTC Wasteland Traveller V2's description says that :

 

 

Load Order
==========
If you' ve Installed MMM or/and FOOK, the load order should be:
(Download Fallout Mod Manager to change it)

-fallout3.esm
-MMM and/or FOOK .esm files (as explained in their readme.txt)
.
.
.
-all others mods
.
.
.
-MTC Wasteland Travellers.esp
-MTC Wasteland Travellers (optional) - Crowded Cities.esp ( or the "Less NPCs" version)
-all MMM and/or FOOK .esp files (as explained in their readme.txt)

 

And finally, I sent a message to Purr4Me, do you think I still should use the tool she may give me ?

 

Thank you again.

Total active plugins: 97

The three inactive plugins should be removed. Even though they are inactive, they are still being loaded into memory and are using RAM that is needed for the game.

If Purr4Me will send you the BOSS load order template, of course you should use it.

[HappyMSI]

All right, I had problems.

It freezes again.

Now I have downloaded FOMM Purr4Me recommand. After deactivating every mod, I'm trying to put only a few of them (Unofficial patch, Arefu Expanded, Crimson Caravan, OneTweak (borderless window), DUI) and it seems to work at first but if I turn off my computer and relaunch, the main menu has the same appearance as when it didn't worked : The little head indicating DUI is bigger, the word "Quit" is half-cut, the words in the setting menu are upon each other,etc. Is there a file that does restart blank each time I turn off the computer or ...? It goes back to alright when I deactivate every mods.

PS : apart from FOMM, all the archive mods I use are not in the Fallout 3 folder but in "Downloadings".

Edited August 27, 2020 by HappyMSI

[M48A5]

Mods need to be installed in the game for them to work. Practically all mods are to be installed in the game "Data" folder and the game launched with FOMM.

 

You need to read the mod pages and look for installation instructions.

 

Also, mods that make changes to the Fallout.exe will only work if the game is not installed in "Program Files",

 

This is mods like FOSE, One Tweak, NVAC (New Vegas Anti-crash, it works for FO3), Fallout Stutter Remover, etc.

 

Did you make the changes to the Fallout.ini that DarNified UI needs? That is the Fallout.ini that is in the My Documents/My Games folder.

[HappyMSI]

Arf, that's what I feared. I thought by using FOMM, this step was unecessary and when I read description pages, each time, I wondered if I was wrong of it it was just for those who do it manually.

 

Oof, that's a hugh information I wasn't aware of. I may asking a bit too much but where could and/or should I place it/them ? I have an external hard drive but I was told games run better on the computer hard drive. If I place it somewhere else on my computer, should I make GOG reinstall it from scratch or can I move the folder and make GOG check the existant files at the new location ?

 

Yep, as told in the video (with a copy of the original called "Fallout-Originals in case).

[M48A5]

If you know how to edit the computer registry, you can just move the game and then edit the registry to show the new location.

However, if you don't, you should uninstall the game and delete any remaining files and folders that pertain to the game. Re-download the game from GOG and direct the installation to a location other than "Program Files" I have my game installed in C:\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout3. During the installation, I directed the install to be made at C:.

Some people have the game installed in "My Games". Where you install it is up to you. It is important to make a fresh installation so that there is a new registry entry made. There are a lot of tools for modding the game that rely on the registry entry to locate the game.

 

Yes, the game runs better installed on the hard drive.

 

Which version of FOMM are you using?
