lostinmymind Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 OK, so I have a bit of a problem here. FO3 crashes to desktop as soon as it needs to load new cells and CTDs on load if I load up a megaton save. It started recently when I set draw distances to max (for my sniper mods) It ran fine for a bit, but now as soon as I move ~30 yards from my position or try to load up megaton, the game CTDs with no error message. I've done the ffdshow/registry repair workarounds, nothing seems to work. I've run it with mods, with essential mods (overhauls/perk packs so I don't crash), with no mods but nothing seems to fix it. Tried setting the draw distance back-didn't help. Anyone have a clue or will I have to do a full reinstall? (have something like 40 mods in, REALLY don't want to have to re-dl everything :( ) For reference, I can run around the Tenpenny balcony fine (which is where my last dozen saves are) and can make it out to robco facility, but if i go any other way, Instant CTD.

Circuitous Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is draw distance the ONLY thing you changed? Turn more things down. Draw distance, model/item/etc. distance, things of that nature. Hell, set everything to Low. Then load up and see if you can get anywhere. If it's STILL crashing, you got other problems. If not, slowly up the ante (increase the sliders) until it looks nice and remains playable. First time I played this game I couldn't even tell you how many times I CTD'd when I left the Vault...

I had the same CTD issues first time, but that's because my P/S was failing and would crash when my graphics card would start drawing more than Idling power :P Just set everything to the "i'm blind" settings. Cant's see past the edge of my gun-still CTDs. GAHHHH I guess I'm reinstalling :( What the hell is this all about. I had no problems with any other Beth game even though my hardware was hardly top-shelf when I played em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
