RemQ Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hello all, I couldn't find any help on this issue other then threads from a few years back with suggestions to update to patch 1.7 and/or using the multi-core fix.So here's my issue.... I was running a heavily modded game of FO3 and got a lot of mods working together just fine, when I decided to start a new game (yet again). I just got born, hear myself crying, listen to dad rambling about, seeing what I´m going to look like in a few years (hideous), and see my little self dragged out of the room, because mom is not feeling to good. NOW... as soon as the "1 year later"-screen fades away and I see dad playing in MY pen, POOF, the game freezes. Every single time :\ So I started removing some mods, to see what mod was causing the issue. Took me to long, so I disabled all mods till I just had Fallout3.esm and the 5 DLC's active. But the game still crashes at the very same point. Funny thing though (which is actualy not funny).. when I activate the mod FWE (Fallout Wanderers Edition), and choose the alternate beginning at the end of the birthscene, I wake up in a shack and can happily continue my journey through the Wasteland. But ofcourse, I want to run through the Vault and escape, as the original game intended..So I'm thinking a file or entry, thats needed in the second original scene, got deleted/renamed, but I've got no clue how to find out which one.. (Or if that´s even the problem)I would really prefer not having to reinstall the game, cause that would take me a couple of days, without knowing for sure that it won´t happen again, or what's causing it! - I played a heavily modded game before, so I know how to install/uninstall/etc- my computer is well up to the task of running FO3- it's patched to v1.7- I'm using the multi-core fix (or at least got the lines in my Fallout.ini)- it's not an archive invalidation issue Hoping someone can provide a possible cure for me growing up (in the vault)Thanks in advance!

M48A5 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I had the same problem after I had to reinstall the game after having my hard drive wiped and the OS reinstalled. I started a new game with none of the DLCs active.I played through to the the birthday party and made a hard save. I exited and activated the DLCs and the game has been playing fairly well since.

RemQ Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thnx for the reply M48A5 !That sounds like quite an undertaking, which I was hoping to avoid :P I just tried starting the game again with just the DLC's .. And it seems that when I disable Archive Invalidation (in FOMM), the issue doesn't occur! Very odd..Don't have time to try this right now, but I'm gonna try reactivating everything after the 1-yr-old-scene, and see if I can play safely from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
