Install issues, launch issues, NMM issues....

Post by **DonSarasa** » Sun Jul 06, 2014 3:48 pm

Hello everyone

I never had any problems with TTW 2.4 but due to some complications, I recently uninstalled everything Fallout-related on my computer. When I was looking to download TTW again I found out that there was a new version available so I wanted to try it out...

I've had so many issues I don't even know where to begin. Let me clarify that I tried to install 2.6 at least 7 times in the past 48 hours and every time I find different problems: Sometimes the installer fails and gives me a log; other times NMM can't complete the installation and gives me various different error messages; Other times, I can install everything but when I try to play the game, I can never reach the start menu.

I've tried a million things: fresh install on FO3 and NV, fresh .ini files, I've downloaded the installer several times, I've re-installed NMM, I've tried to only install the Main Files as well as unticking any optional files that could potentially cause the issues. No luck...

I'm lost. I don't have a clue what else I can do so if anyone has any ideas, hit me up.

Extra Info:

System Specs: I7 3770, 8gb ram, Windows 7 64bit

Mod Manager and Version: NMM 0.50.3

Fallout 3 GOTY through Steam

I've a similar situation, I've installed TTW without any problems, but when I start the game, there's no menu, I tried to do what's written in the FAQ but it doesn't work, it seems that my Fallout 3.esm is already broken.

The FAQ already has the answer and solution to your problem.

Post by **DonSarasa** » Mon Jul 07, 2014 1:24 am

Well, I did the equivalent (re install with 100% clean copies of both FO3 and FNV) about 9 times so far...

Currently I'm re- downloading FO3 in case my "Vanilla FO3 Backup" was for some reason not a 100% fresh install. If it doesn't work then Ill give it a shot

If you look at your log, the installer finished with no errors. I suggest you look in the FAQ again for the problem you actually mentioned having.
