Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong with FOMM - Fork? No matter what I do it won't start, through MO or by itself. I can't find any directions and the Readme text doesn't help me.

Can you tell me where the program is installed? If it doesn't start through MO or by itself then something is wrong with the install of the program.

 

Also, did you ever run the game through Steam, just up to the launcher. That is how you get the registry entries for the game so other programs can use them.

I put it in the F:NV folder my in Steam folder. It doesn't seem to matter where I put it or start it through MO it always fails.

 

I did a clean install but I forgot to do that. I ran the launcher a few minutes ago.

Maybe reinstall an older version. V13.23 worked fine for me back when I started FOMM fork.

Has anyone tested this? I don't think I would care for it, but I am sure others would, and it does look interesting.

Nice tip, that sounds very interesting, and with MO could nave a dedicated profile including supporting mods for a stealth game.

Turn on the harder sneaking in one of the PN MCM menus. It isn't quite as dynamic as that mod, but it does up the difficulty a bit.

FOMM - Fork is still not working for me. In the readme.txt that came with it it said that if it start and throws up errors then it's a .NET issue, but it won't start at all. It'll seem like it's loading for a few seconds (And I looked in the Task Manager, it does start.) but then it'll die without anything coming up. Does anyone have an idea on what the problem could be?

[Nozzer66]

Have you tried updating your .NET framework anyway? That's what I'd suspect given your post above.

[Crimson13]

I'm running the latest version via Win7.

[Nozzer66]

So much for that idea, then... 

 

Can you run it standalone, ie not through MO?

[Crimson13]

No, still the same problem. Double click on it, seems like something is loading but nothing shows up. Checked with the Task Manager and fomm.exe shows up but dies seconds later.

 

And here's a mod that just showed up that changes something that always bothered me: TmT - Open Broken Doors Although really, considering you're dealing with at least centuries old wood you figure that you could just kick and the door would go to pieces.

Do you have all the options in the windows startup menu? BSA Creator, BSA Browser, FOMM, Advanced Setup, Shader Editor, TESsnip, and the Uninstaller should be all of them.

[Crimson13]

You mean when I unpack it? No, out of all you mentioned only FOMM is there.

[EssArrBee]

Okay, lets try a different approach. Get the original FOMM and install it using the installer. Put it in the same folder as your Steam install. Like C:Games... or where ever you keep your games.
