Frequent crashes
Hi, I tried to play Fallout 3 modded today but the game keeps crashing every 5-10 minutes.
I tried the .ini file change but that did nothing, neither did the updated unofficial fallout 3 patch and the Fallout stutter remover. I am playing on Windows 10 and have installed GFWL.

First thing, before modding you should setup your game properly here http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/21888/?
Next using Nexus mod manager, goto tools and organize the mod order.
After goto tools again and uncheck then recheck archive invalidated.
Then you should create a merge patch, using fo3edit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4puD1tn8cuU
Make sure it's activated. (open nmm and check it in plugins)
Last run LOOT https://loot.github.io/

I did all the steps except the merged patch, and I added the 4 GB patch, FOSE and archiveinvlidation invalidated before the mods.
Is it what I did wrong ? And is the merged patch important ?

Carinth Dec 21, 2016 @ 5:42am 
Yes the mods need to be organized then the merge patch needs to be made to allow for the mods to work together properly, or you could have mod conflicts. Running loot will also give a description of any conflicts to help.

Currently I'm restarting entirely and I'm following the steps.
If I have any trouble I'll comment, thank you for your help.

Did you run loot, your order looks ok, but loot will tell you if you have any conflicts, otherwise give it a go.

I noticed you didnt mention anything about F03edit this prog will clean any dirty edit you may have from adding mods and make your game more stable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPK7R71zcwM

when you run LOOT it may show dirty edits , you then use the fo3edit to clean them . :-) good luck

Yeah I ran LOOT. But It keeps crashing after I talk to Moira the first time and then get out her shop. I'll see if I can find a fix.

oh ic u have the unofficial patch, disable or remove that, it will cause frequent crashes, sorry i missed that one. You may have to remake the merge patch after removing it. Delete the one in the gamefolder then make a new merge file.

I removed Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm, and now I feel like this is crashing more often
#11
Carinth Dec 24, 2016 @ 7:46am 
I would disable your mods in groups of 3, then start the game see if the crash goes away after disabling them. Don't save it, just run it and check it until you find the group that is causing the issue. Or disable all the mods and enable them in groups of 3, test it till the crash occurs then you will know which one is causing it. Uncheck the merge patch while checking as it may cause a crash if one of the disabled mods is listed in it and it's disabled.

For texture packs I use the smaller ones and combine them, like the better clutter and such. I stay away from the big texturemods as they can cause crash issues also.
