Ahh, I see. Okay cheers for that.

It seemed a pretty straight forward question to me and you have both answered it, so I thank you for that. This isn't something that was simply made up though, I have definitely heard this myself a number of times on the old Beth forums, but unfortunately I can't provide a reference to it. Unless it was something that was being questioned at the time and was still up in the air? I don't know. However, I'm quite sure you guys here would certainly know if this was actually the case and you have both said no, so I'm happy to take your word for it :) I'm fully aware of MOs features of being able to load BSAs as well, sadly, this doesn't seem to extend to MO2... Unless I'm missing something on that part?

I saw a conversation on the Fallout 4 Nexus regarding ba2 files taking up space towards the esp/esm limit and just wanted to get a definitive answer. From my understanding, in Skyrim and Oblivion the BSAs counted towards the 255 esp/ems limit. Is this actually the case? Also, does this extend to FO3, FNV and FO4? Thanks

I cleaned a few of mine, yes. Didn't think of that actually. Thing is, if that was the cause, wouldn't it then be the esp that is causing the game not to load instead of the BSA?

With DLC yes. There dose actually seem to be a problem with MO and the handling of BSA archives for FO3, a few mods have caused this to happen but when I allow the BSAs to be extracted things seem to work. Under the archive tab, untick the box that allows MO to handle the BSAs then try again and see what happens.

Just a quick update on mine. Somehow it seems to be mod related, when I disable all mods and run FOSE through MO it works but when I start adding mods it fails. Which is weied as I could run FOSE with the same mods theough Wrye Bash/Flash with no problem, so why it's playing up when using MO is beyond me.

I'm having this exact same problem, FOSE refuses to run from within MO but, runs fine from the instalation directory. I randomly tried unchecking the "let MO manage archives" under the archives tab the tried again and the game launched. Althought during the intro screen I didn't have the mouse cursor and was unable to click anything and shortly after it crashed. It's a step in the right direction though, could it be a BSA related problem?
