PlaneSpaceWalker Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So here's the newest debacle. Lately, possibly in relation to mods, possibly unrelated, the mouse and keyboard will lock up -in- fallout 3. I can alt tab out and they're obviously still working, which makes me assume it's not my keyboard and mouse (though they are pretty old), especially since they never give me trouble. Anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logrhythmic Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah, I'm having that same problem too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logrhythmic Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Nope, I've got new (within a year) kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domanz Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I had problems with my mouse once, it vanished once I installed the software that came with it. Maybe your mice need new drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logrhythmic Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I don't think it's a problem on the mouse/keyboard side. I've tried out different mice and they all lock up, but only in game, which leads me to believe its a problem gameside. I press alt-tab and everything's working fine, mouse and keyboard. When I switch back, everything is locked up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domanz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Strange. Check your .ini for two lines called bbackground mouse and bbackground keyboard and change the values from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0. Just an idea, I have no clue what they change, but it's worth a try I guess. Have you installed the latest patch for Fallout 3? 1.0.0.15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circuitous Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 So here's the newest debacle.

I can alt tab out and they're obviously still working, which makes me assume it's not my keyboard and mouse (though they are pretty old), especially since they never give me trouble. Anyone else had this problem? You say "lately" - so I have some questions. When did this start happening? How long have you been playing the game before this issue appeared? What mods did you install around the start of this issue? Have you had mouse trouble in any other programs or games? If you don't play any other games, could you load some up and see if the same thing happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logrhythmic Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Here's an interesting development. My controls froze up again, so I alt-tabbed out of the game to shut it down, but then had the idea to see if any of the keys worked. I alt-tab back in and the main menu is up as usual. I start pressing keys, and when I press home I get the X-Box live screen popping up. Mouse and keyboard now work. When I close out, they fail again. Press home X-Box Live and function. Odd... Also it's not rooted in the official patch. It broke with the patch installed. I uninstalled, didn't patch, still broke. Here's a list of my mods, running through FOMM. -MPammo-dD-Larger Blood-eyesaddon-XFO_Karma_changes-XFO_Weapskill_dmg_and_accuracy-Clover Makeover - Asian Bedraggled-XFO_Radiation_changes-XFO_Pacing_med-XFO_cripple_fixes-XFO_Degradation_fixes-XFO_Gore_fixes-XFO_Power_Armor_Revamp-XFO_Weapon_rebalance-FreePlay addon - clean Potomac-XFO_VATSdmg_50-Helmets with Accessories-VashDeagleV5-FreePlayAfterMQ_v05-GNR40MoreFromThe40s-Stealthboy Recon Armor - Workbench-MaxLevelWorkaround-EssentialFollowers+Caravans-Item Descriptions Img-XFO_rarity_drugs_med-XFO_barter_fix_mild-XFO_Timescale_slow-XFO_misc_tweaks-XFO_SP_Fix2-FollowersHire_ByCharisma_NoKarma-XFO_Enemy_rebalance-Workbench_Crafting_Expansion-WastelandMastery-MissingUniqueArmorClothing-Enhanced-F3UmpaAnimation-mutantradio Nothing really incriminating looking in that list, but I am somewhat suspicious of a mod. I had installed it and played with no mods when it launched and it worked fine then. Now that I have mods running, fizzle... I'll try turning off mods and playing, and see what happens. If anyone sees anything contradicting in that list, by all means give me a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domanz Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Usually you should load addons AFTER their original files (free play / clean potomac addon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
