GECK no longer works

[LukeGevaerts]

Hi guys,

 

I've recently migrated to a new computer, so I found myself having to reinstall F:NV and the GECK. The latter worked without a hitch on my old PC; on this one, however, it CTDs before it's even finished loading:

 

- Steam is installed to C:\Games\Steam;

- I'm running the 1.4 version of the GECK;

- my system is up to date.

 

With NVSE, without NVSE - no matter what I do, it CTDs. This is the error report (in Dutch, but there's not much I can do about that):

Can anyone help me out?

For future reference:

 

I solved the problem by making a copy of my entire Fallout - New Vegas folder in SteamApps\common, pasting it somewhere else (in my case, C:\Games\Fallout Tools\GECK) and running the GECK from there. I have no idea why this would work, but I'm glad it does.

This game is so strange. -.- I'm glad you got it working, and, like you, have NO IDEA why it wasn't.

I know, right? Every time I think I've got a bead on things the game goes and throws me another curveball. Maybe this particular problem has something to do with path length/directory depth; I've had a similar problem with the Dragon Age Toolset in the past. Or not. Who knows. Mind = blown, really.
