Another problem

[GoAlone1]

So, I'm kind of sure this is TTW related. I decided to boot up Fallout and have a bit of fun, but I noticed something rather odd with the game. Purple loading screens. That's right. I'm pretty sure that this was the Fallout 3 part of my NV trying to grab the screens TTW had created, but it couldn't, so the texture was missing and was..purple. So I load my save, it shows a bunch of purple loading screens, then it CTD's. 

I'd appreciate either of these options:

• 
  A fix


• 
  Or, please tell me the location of the screens and what files to delete.

Did you install TTW with a clean fresh version of FNV or, did you install over a modded game. The only time I have heard of this kind of issue was when someone tried to install TTW after running RFCW or tones of other mods. 

For best results Install TTW into a unmodded Fallout NV, Play the begining Tutorial (With a fresh clean save!) Then start to slowly add mods. 

[GoAlone1]

Well, RFCW is years obsolete compared to TTW, so no I don't have it. Yes, I did install TTW over a modded game, but, I've never had this problem until today.

[plumjuice]

Anything pink/purple/magenta makes me immediately suspect archive invalidation is not working correctly. Deactivate and then reactivate it.

To be clear though, I would install TTW first and then mods on top of that as a general rule.

If I read your post correctly, it sounds as though you have been completely unable to play. This means that you have no way of knowing the scope of the issue. Thus, a load order is almost mandatory to give those who want to help as much information as you can. A clarification on whether or not you had installed any mods between when you played last and when this issue arose, would be useful as well.

I am not 100% on how the game handles load screens, but I suspect that going hunting for the files is a bad idea. For one thing, I'm pretty sure they are in a bsa (which for the most part should be left alone unlesss you really know what you are doing), and for another, they are not the cause of the problem. The screens simply cannot turn pink on their own, it is a setup issue (whether mod or ini related I don't have enough information to say for certain).

Alright, fair enough.

Of the mods you downloaded, Better Startup, Better Main Menu and Alternate Loading Screens seem most likely to cause issues (with regards to load screens), with my money on ALS. I suggest again (before uninstalling anything) that you deactive then reactive archive invalidation, and check if the pink screens are gone.

I notice you have MMUE installed. Remove it immediately. It is not compatible with TTW. I would suggest a new game afterwards, but probably not a necessity.

I assume that any FO3 mods you have (Robco is the only one I recognise) have been converted to work with ttw. If not, you should do so.

I notice that you have PN installed. Its MCM menu has options for a perk every level and level cap adjustment (among many other things) You should remove any mods that do these things. You should also use PN Extra options for even more features (vendor inventory respawn for example) and again, remove any mods that do them.

You have the Blackwolf backpack mod, which IIRC is included in the Military NV Backpack mod. You also have the no-straps and the use slot 1 esps listed; they are not compatible IIRC.

You have NVBounties 1 but not 2. You should get 2. Its awesome.

You have an alternate start mod. I do not know which one it is but it is unlikely to work friendly with TTW.

Your tuckered out compatibility patches are loading before tuckered out itself. That seems odd to me but could be WAD for all I know.

I do not know what STRobot-Core is but it should load AFTER TTW.

I do not know if you have removed them from the list, but you need a bash/merged patch for a lot of these mods to work correctly, so if you don't have one, make one.

I do not use most of these mods, but they don't (from a quick look over) seem well organized. Do you use BOSS and BUM?

There are probably more issues, but I am about to make lunch, so I'll check it again after I eat.

[dawe1313]

the major problem you have is too many esm's/esp's in you data directory. there are over 200 in your load order. FNV starts going wierd at around 150-160. even if the mod is not activated, it's still in the data directory and FNV can "see" it. any mods you're not using, don't just disable them, uninstall, or at least delete the esm/esp. the purple/pink screens is a symptom of this issue.

download [url=http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/34703]FNVEdit[/url] and [url=http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/38413]FNVEdit Training Manual[/url]. FNVEdit is your friend, learn it, love it, use it.  :)  especially the parts on merging esm/esp's and making a merged patch.  the Training Manual is very well done, easy to understand, and has lots of pictures. FNVEdit is a seriously powerful tool and very easy to use with a little practice. proper use will make you game much more stable.

also, check the [url=http://www.taleoftwowastelands.com/content/load-order-help-thread]Load Order Help Thread[/url] for some tips on better organizing your load order. i couldn't even begin to help you sort that out.

with all that being said, my advice is to unistall FNV, delete your Fallout New Vegas folder (to get rid of any leftover, stray files), and reinstall a squeaky clean, fresh, new FNV.

unfortunately, using a ton of mods, like you have, eventually results in a totaly hosed game, and the only way to fix it is a fresh install  :(

[GoAlone1]

Okay, after a fresh install of FNV, Then TTW, then adding my mods back in with caution, uninstalling mods you guys said would cause a problem, I started a new game. The usual FNV opening comes up. I hit the esc button. It goes to a halt. Then it skips to a loading screen. After the screen, it loads up the FO3 opening. Another click of the esc button, and it was going to load my opening, finally, but it crashes. Ideas?

[plumjuice]

Again, load order please.

In what way does it crash? Instant CTD/"FalloutNV has stopped responding"/Pink screen then ctd?

You should really be adding mods one by one to see what is causing your issue.

[/quote]

I already did that. I turned off all mods, and one by one tried my game out. I already fixed issues. There's been no more pink screens. Yes, after the FO3 opening, and when it looks like it was going to load the game up finally, it instant CTD's "Fallout NV has stopped responding", immediately.
