Another No Start

[whitefox25]

Hello,

 

I have tried my best to find a solution to my problem on these forums but haven't been able to i'm afraid.

 

I'm having a similar problem to others where my game wont start, mo begins to load then nothing happens. The only other mod I have installed on top of F and L is AWOP but I believe I've patched it properly.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Little update, The game runs through the fnv4gb.exe if I run it through the main Fallout new vegas folder not through MO

I had the same problem.  My only solution was to do a Clean Install of Windows.  (Win7Pro.x64)

I started a thread last November about it. https://forum.step-project.com/topic/3286-mo-and-nvse-crash/page-3

 

Suffice to say after many different ideas, a clean install was what solved my problem.  I thought it was the way MO Hooks into the game, but I didn't find a solution.

 

I started a Bug Tracker w/ Tannin, but so have a few people on the same issue.  (FNV works but not MO->FNV/4GB)

 

If you do find a solution without going the Clean Install route, please post it

Edit: I figured out what was wrong with mine! Hopefully its the same problem you have. First, I restored the default profile back to original settings by deleting 'Mod Organizer/Profiles/Default' and restarting the program. It worked after that, but then I rearranged and activated all my mods again and it stopped working. At first, I thought it was a mod conflict of some sort but it was actually caused by put a tick next to any of the archives in MO. I don't know why, but it doesn't work with them ticked. So just don't tick any archives and hopefully it will work for you. If not, try deleting the entire profile as well.

How many .bsa's do you have? This sounds like you have too many. 

[AyleidRuin]

Great suggestion Audley :) EssArrBee mentioned about "un-checking the BSAs since they may mess up file priority" and see if MO->fnv/4gb will run.

Try extracting a few BSA's. Don't extract Willow or Spice of life's BSA's though. Start with smaller ones and just keep extracting them until you get success.

Thanks for such a speedy reply.

I unticked all the bsa's in the archive tab on MO and it ran but with no Main menu, task manager labelled the program as not responding. I think some has posted a similar problem previously.

How would I find this out? Does the MO archive tab display them all? Ive extracted a few in an attempt to fix my problems, no luck

[EssArrBee]

I've tried figuring out the BSA limit, but the behavior seems to depend on a few factors I can't figure out. Just go to the archives tab and right click->Extract. Then find the mod folder and extract the BSA. Remember to hide the BSA as well if it keeps a copy. Just do it one by one until the game starts. I currently have like 23 BSAs and if I add one more it will not work. I have a bunch of INI loaded BSAs though, so my setup is way different than most.

[whitefox25]

FNV4GB.exe runs through MO with all my BSA's enabled with no mods activated. So does that point to it being a mod problem?

[EssArrBee]

No mods active means the game isn't trying to load the BSAs. When you add all the mods back in a bunch more archives will exist and when the game tries to load them all it may not work.

[whitefox25]

Yeah I just realised that, sorry. Thanks. I extracted all my BSAs except for spice of life and Willow right up until the beth BSAs so that's all my mod BSA's with no effect.

 

Maybe a mod is causing the problem? 

[Audley]

Uncheck all the mods that are merged via the Merge Plugins Script. Sometimes they can mess up and cause the game not to start. Disable them one at a time and start the game. 

[Nozzer66]

Once you've gone through and extracted all your BSA's have you then gone back and hidden the BSA's in the filetree tab of MO?

[EssArrBee]

Also, one more thing is to make sure your active plugin count is below 140, or 135 for some people. You can start wrye bash to see how many are active along the bottom somewhere.

[whitefox25]

I have 133 active it's saying. 

 

I went through deactivating each mod and found that 'Advanced Recon Thermal Nightvision' hadnt been installed properly and 'Ambient Temperature' was causing problems because I stupidly downloaded the Nevada Skies patch that isnt up to date. 

 

Was able to then start and load a new game through 'Alternative Start' I chose to start outside of Doc Mitchell's house in Goodsprings and as soon as I took a few steps my Characters feet sink through the floor. Stuck slowly moving along. No clue what's causing that, I have the best of luck modding :)

Rebuild your bashed patch, start a new game and see if everything is okay.
