Strange install issue with new version of TTW.

Post by Vyrulisse » Mon Jun 16, 2014 12:00 am

I downloaded the new installer last night and ran the installer. It worked and created the FOMOD. I had the no menu bug like I got when I first installed the previous version so I deleted FO3, NV and everything from TTW, reinstalled both games from my backup (clean installs, fully updated through Steam) and tried again.


Running the installer again fixed my issue last time so that's why I did it again. Well, it started off fine until I got a huge error log with the message in my attached install log.


Can anyone please help me with this issue? :(


What is "unexpected version"? Makes it sound like TTW thinks it's an illegal version but it's really not and if needed I can post a screenshot of my Steam Account Games List/Folders or anything to prove it.


It's purely a vanilla base install, fresh from when I first downloaded it. I even ran the games first to create fresh INI files.

It's a reworked installer. We don't doubt you but it's shiny and new so it's bound to still have bugs.


My project Dash is on Kickstarter!

That makes sense, thank you.

That makes sense, thank you. Just odd that it worked the first time but not on further attempts. Perhaps redownloading a fresh version will help. Thanks for answering.

Vyrulisse,


 


The unexpected version message just means that the installer doesn't recognize that exact file. The installer needs to be able to verify that you have the exact same version of certain files, so that it can patch them. It doesn't mean that it thinks your game is illegal! Non-English game files, corrupted downloads, pirated or non-standard modifications, and errors in the BSA unpacking process can all cause that message.


 


Since you've already updated on Steam, it's not from a corrupted download. The sequence of error messages indicates that there was an offset error during BSA unpacking, which is a known issue with BSAOpt.


 


Some possible solutions:




  • Delete the Fallout3 - Meshes.bsa made by your installer and reinstall (seriously, sometimes BSAopt will just up and work the second time around)


  • If you're on a 64-bit OS, go to your installer folder, under "resources", "BSAOpt", and rename "BSAopt x64.exe" to something different. Then, rename "BSAopt x32.exe" to "BSAopt x64.exe" before reinstalling. Some people have solved install issues by using the 32-bit version of BSAopt instead.


  • Download the latest beta of BSAopt (2.0) and replace the versions in the folder from the above step, rename the new version of BSAopt to replace the old one, and reinstall.


We've moved away from BSAopt in the latest development on the installer, so hopefully these issues will be a thing of the past soon!
