Fallout 3 mods

It appears to be any transition between int to ext, I don't recall changing anything since yesterday so wondering why that's a problem all of a sudden!


edit: ****

I've just loaded a save game a few steps back and same problem! So I can't even recover to an older save?

I hope I haven't just wasted 25 hours on this game. :(

Mine kept doing this.
I found it was because of the massive texture pack & bump mapping. Once removed everything was good. Once added again it would crash when going inside houses in the waste or going into cities like megaton. I found allowing over 2GB of ram, the purge cell mod and installing FOSE fixed it (oh & also disabled auto saving & installing the save mod linked in the first few posts of this thread). :)

I have never had such a love/hate relationship with a game as this:D

It can be so infuriating at times, and i have felt like giving up on more than one occasion, but work on it for a bit and do all of the fixes and it is spectacular.
 
If I tick the DLC then my game starts to crash :(
I've given up there & just left it unticked although I would like to be able to use it.

I was having problems with the DLC. I reinstalled the game, and carefully reinstalled the mods, and this time did 'archive invalidated' after installing every mod, and that seemed to work, might be worth a try.
 
Okay, changed my ini settings to match yours and have used Master Update - we'll see if its more stable.

I have another question - for some reason water is very pixelly for me. Do you know what that could be?

EDIT - here's a pic:

That does look a bit funny. Not really sure which setting would change that( i just follow guide when it comes to the INI file). Water reflections maybe?

Looks great otherwise, do you have NMC's installed?

I played around with my INI a bit more earlier. I think the problem was with my file(a 0 missing in iPreloadSizeLimit= rather than you having one too many;))

No I don't think you're right - I think I had a 0 too many (which I've now removed)!

Yes I have NMCs installed. But all options are set to High so not sure why the water reflections suck.

Did a merged patch and master update do any good?

I just tweaked my INI a bit more according to that guide and the game runs much more smoothly.

Did you look at the guide, this might be the setting?

iWaterReflectWidth=1024
iWaterReflectHeight=1024

The above variables control the width and height (i.e. the resolution) of water reflections. The higher the value for each, the more crisp and detailed reflections will be; the lower the value, the lower the detail. For example setting both of these to =256 will greatly reduce reflection detail in return for a boost in FPS around water areas. Conversely, you can raise these values to something like =2048 for an increase in reflection quality above the maximum normally possible using the in-game settings, however there will be a very sharp drop in performance around water (FalloutPrefs.ini).

I'll be trying a merged patch tomorrow for my annoying 'just broke for no reason' copy of the game. :(
 
Here is the weapon that i really like at the moment. It is the FN FAL ACOG from Frederyck Tactical Weapons.

Just too many of them, plus my great tactics of charging them didn't help

Well I played for 2 hours straight today without any crashes. Can be sure which of these has improved me stability but it's one (or more) of them:

- Master Update/Master Patch
- Leaving uInteriorCellBuffer and uExteriorCellBuffer at default (3 and 36)
- NumHWThreads to 2

And guys seriously - check out Wasteland Moods. The whole game looks so much better with it. Forget Fellout.

I did look at wasteland moods, but i have to have Fellout because it is a part of FOOK2.
Lets hope your crashing problems have at least eased up mate(i was going to say ended but that's never going to happen;))
TBH, i'm not sure which of those exactly stabilized my game, but one day it was just better. Have you also used the RAM boost?


Yesterday i added FO3 Enhanced Shaders to my game. I only added it quickly and haven't got it to work yet, It is causing a ctd on start up atm, so i will uninstall and reinstall to see if it works, but it looks like it has some great features. It adds SSAO, DOF, basically loads of different graphics options.

Some of the pics on the page look amazing, especially the difference between SSAO on/off

Also, i'll leave this here - Fallout UK.

This mod adds a boat to point lookout that can take you all the way out to UK. So far all I have done is part of my hometown Southend-on-Sea which is a pleasure beach. It was very poplular in the 50's so I thought it would really suit. It was so popular because it was the closest seaside to London. It also made sense as its a seaside the boat could dock there.

Very new mod which is not done yet, but might be er, interesting:p
