Any update on the no menu bug?

Post by **Padawelts** » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:45 pm

I posted a month or so ago that I (and a few others) had no menus when launching TTW. I didn't see any notes or anything detailing an update so I thought I'd post here. Is the problem fixed? I really miss TWW :/

What menu bug?

If there is a file that is missing a master, the menu won't show up, this is not TTW specific.

Also a wrong load order and/or badly converted Fallout 3 mods and/or bad .ini files and/or remains of some mods that are still present in the Fallout New Vegas data folder can do that.

The best way to go (is also the most time consuming and frustrating) is totally uninstall both games (and deleting their game folders in case they still exist) after uninstalling all the mods (using NMM or FOMM or anyother Mod Manager that the person used to install them), then deleting the "...my documents/my games/FalloutNV" folder, then restarting the computer, and reinstall both Fallout games using steam (if not using the steam FO3 game, make sure to install all of the disks and check to see if it has the latest version which is 1.7), then running the TTW installer to create the TTW .fomods and the manual install files, and then install TTW following the instructions in the alpha download page. Then try playing TTW without any mods, and I mean not even one mod in the Fallout NV data folder.

If that still doesn't fix it then I have no idea how to fix it.

Or you can uncheck each mod in your load order one at a time, starting at the bottom of your load order, and then running the game each time. At some point, the menus will appear, and you'll figure out which mod has an error in it.

Note also that pirated and non-english copies of the games can cause this bug with TTW. You need the real legit English copies of both games. We recommend the Steam versions of both.

The bug that's been happening to a few people, there has been several posts on it, TJ linked to another post about some guys trying to fix it. (This one: http://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/idea-i-had)

I've had this bug since 2.4, in my last post I posted I'm using Fallout 3 and New Vegas standard with all DLC. and fresh installs on both.

Cause for some reason TTW.esm prevented the whole menus from appearing, but everything else was fine.

EDIT: Whatever the hell the problem was seems to be gone now, I redownloaded the installer so I think it was the installer that messed up.
