nice to see that Bethsoft haven't fixed a single Crash to desktop issue with this patch.

 

honestly, my game crashes just as much as it ever did lol.

 

 

 

***subnote***

 

All mods need to be loaded into the construction set AFTER you've patched the game and then re-saved to work correctally.

 

otherwise they probly won't given the updated F3.esm and the updated .exe file

 

**you will also need to go back into you're Fallout3.ini and change the "BinvalidateOlderFile=1" again as it will most likely reset and any other changes you made will have reverted to default

What are you talking about? I see plenty of crash fixes there.

what i meant by that was " i get just as many crashes using the new patch under vista as i get using F3 without the patch on XP"

[Riknard]

Anyone know whether or not game saves from the previous version can be used after this patch is installed (PC version)? I only get "New", no "Continue" or "Load". I'm new to this particular cluster of games (and common publisher).

 

I had several console 'enhancements' engaged, plus one mod (Personal Vault with Weapon Modification). I don't think they'd affect savings, although I wasn't ready to see them available without redoing/reloading them, or even whether the saved games would work, and maybe that is the answer.

{Edit} Well, I took a look at the "BinvalidateOlderFile" parameter in the fallout.ini file (see previous post in this thread), changed it to "1" instead of "0" (it gets reset when patching). Immediately after that, I believe, I loaded up (through the launcher) and had all previous game saves available, which also freed up Continue. In my frustration, I don't THINK I did anything else, but I might have... if I remember doing so, I'll re-edit.

 

Great multitudes of gratitude for the site...
