Crash on Saving

[Lambb]

Well I have spent the past 2 days trying everything to fix the crash on save, every post with a method I have tried but it would only last once and if i closed the game and started a new one I wouldn't be able to save again. The only thing that works right now that I know of is un-ticking all of my mods, loading up the game save, saving it, exiting, reloading up all the mods and loading that save and then i can save without problems but I lose all my items that were brought into the game from mods so I do not want to be doing that....

 

My specs are:

CPU: Intel core i5-3570k

Ram: 8gb

Win7 ultimate 64 bit

Mobo: LGA 1155

Gpu: Nvidia GeForce 7900 series

 

The settings for Fo3 are:

 

Anti aliasing: 2 samples (Can I go 8 cause i think i read the higher it is you'll experience the stutter)

Anisotropic,vertical sync, screen effects are off

Set to Ultra

My view distances are set to farthest

You should use B.O.S.S. to sort your load order: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/10193/ Or at least look over your mods and clean out what you should not be using.

Load Streetlights.esm between ThePitt and BrokenSteel. Arrange the mods so that they are in the same order as the Fallout.esm. You should load the compatibility patches after the last mod for which they are providing compatibility. According to the author, Imperfection.esp should be the first .esp after FWE - Alternate Travel. For the Mighty Mouse mod, "Only enable one .esp at a time! Mods are enabled through the Fallout Launcher "Data Files" menu." I don't use MMM, but I have seen here on the nexus that with Master Menu Module, there are a lot of .esp that you don't need. This should give you a start.

[Lambb]

<p>Well I went to try boss but I can't get it to work cause when i try to run it in the gui with fallout 3 nothing happens cause it can't find the fallout3.esm but how do i get it to find it? I just went through the load order and turned some off and re-arranged a few but I'm still getting the ctd on save. Also whats the master menu module?</p>

"Also whats the master menu module?"

One of the mods your have installed, Mart's Mutant Mod - Master Menu Module.esp.

If you moved Fallout 3 from the install location without uninstalling and then reinstalling, BOSS cannot locate Fallout 3 as it uses the Registry entry to locate the game. When I installed BOSS the last time, I installed it into the Fallout 3 Data files and it worked without a problem.

[Lambb]

Re-installing to the data folder worked, but i also installed the unofficial patch now and i still ctd on save.

 

EDIT: How do i delete .esp's i don't want in there anymore?

 

My new load order is;

Helpp please <3

[TrickyFlorence]

This may be late but Fallout wanderers edition will sometimes "glitch" after a couple hundred saves (ex. 300) thus causing only CTD. hopefully this information helps :confused:......

Edited April 1, 2015 by NeonLycan

[Billy1969]

if nothing else works try this: blow yourself up ingame (with the fatman or something similar), your game will reload automatically, then try to save again, it should work. If not, then I'm affraid you have a corrupted savegame and need to reload a prior one that doesn't crash on save.

[Archee11]

Another thing to do that so far has worked for me is, as Billy1969 said but when you save, ALWAYS save to a "NEW" save and do not over-write old saves.

 

I found that when I did it the saves this way, I got no more CTD's. Fingers crossed it stays this way, cause I am loving playing this game Modded!!
