LIVE Button available with Disabler Active - Huh?

[SergeTroy]

Preface:

So, I'm closing in on the finale of my own Modded Fallout 3, a very Non-FWE LITE experience.  I've launched a new game from the next-to-final profile; I've cleaned all the mods that required it with FO3Edit, and created a Bashed Patch as best I could (I'll admit I skipped over the Bashed Tags section as I'm just out of my depth there), so the only thing I HAVEN'T done is use DDSopt to optimize the textures that need to be, or use FO3LODGen.

 

The Issue (Is it?):  The 'LIVE' button is visible, though when I click on it, it just dims the menu options so it alone is visible, and another click on it returns everything to norm.  I've got FOSE working fine, confirming FOSE with "GetFOSEVersion" results in "FOSEVersion=1"; I've run Games for Windows LIVE Disabler from the desktop and left it on the desktop, and I chose the option to hide/remove the LIVE button.

 

I haven't run into this before, does anyone know what could be causing it?

 

The Mods I've installed in their relative installation and activation order.

It will be a relic from one of the menu files in either FWE, Darn or some other. I have seen this on occasions and it makes no difference to play.

[13thGeneral]

It's the same for me, but I haven't had any issues.

[SergeTroy]

Alright, thanks guys.  Was considering enabling the button via the currently extracted Disabler, deleting it and the readme, and than just re-attempting the process; but I think I'll just let it roll. 

[Kelmych]

It might be that the non-FWE version of DarN doesn't grey it out, even though it is non-functional.

Thanks @ Himself & Kelmych!  Yeah, I'd seen that particular fix but had just decided to not worry about it / this topic as, stated by 13th General and GrantSP, it really doesn't seem to be causing any issues beyond that fact of it's visibility.  And, honestly, I'm just not feeling like messing around with the XML files myself to double check that that fix wouldn't do the trick.  When everything is said and done, I was really only concerned that the fact of the Live button still being visible / clicky was a symptom of something wrong I had done or whatever.  Thanks all.  :D

I sometimes see this, but I've been ignoring it. I'll add the steps from Himself for those who want to eliminate it.

I'm a much greater ***** than all of you when it comes to every little detail, thats for sure ^^

 

Heck, specially for things that break immersion. Just got pissed that all pills/medication were using a pip-boy description as being for rad stuff, so went and changed it:

If anyone wants, get file attached and change extension to .dds, file path is Data\textures\interface\icons\pipboyimages\items\item_rad_x.dds

 

Throw in folder or do all the extra work if using MO =P
