I decided with my new computer, I could run Tale of Two Wastelands for once and I freshly installed Fallout New Vegas and 3. I download the installer and chose a destination for the TTW fomod and I put the locations of my Fallout NV and 3 (Both Steam GOTY). For some reason, the installer says that it can't find any of the Fallout 3 files it needs.
Here is a picture of what is happening. Please, help!!!
My PC Specs:
A GTX 960,
i5-4690 @ 3.5 GHz
8GB RAM
Windows 8.1 x64
Check to make sure you have ownership of the folders, and make sure the files are actually there. If they are then make sure they are not set to Read Only.
There can be an issue with programs on your desktop not being able to access other drives, try moving the installer folder to the root of the drive your games are on.
I would suggest that you also move your steam folder outside the program folder. Helps resolve a lot of issues especially with Windows. It's really pretty easy to do and you can do a search on the web to detail what you need to do. I actually have a second HD that I install all of my games including steam to. Works like a champ....
I'm thinking this might be a Windows 10 UAC thing. I ran into the same issue when I tried to reinstall TTW after upgrading to Windows 10. I had also decided to move my Steam directory to D:\Games instead of the default program files path so I didn't have either fallout 3 or NV installed anymore.
I ran the TTW installer as administrator and it said it couldn't find either game so I put the correct path in and set my TTW directory and it failed to find any of the required files. It did however create the TTW directories. I exited and tried again and this time it found everything and generated my files.
The only other snag I ran into was that the first time I had the installer generate files, it seems that my fallout3.esm must have been corrupted or something because TTW couldn't find one of the voice files. I deleted fallout3.esm and verified the game cache in Steam so I got a fresh copy and then it worked fine.
Edit: Did run into 1 other snag. MO didn't seem to like the FOMOD for the optional files. I had to just zip up all of those files and install them without the FOMOD. Seemed to work fine that way. The FOMOD for the main TTW install worked fine.
Make sure the Fallout 3 directory or any of the files are not set to read only, this is the most common cause for that issue.
The optional FOMOD is currently broken and will be fixed for next release.
There's another glitch I've run into that I haven't been able to figure out so far. When I first exit Vault 101 there is a puddle of water on the road just below the vault and there's what I think it some sort of mesh problem with it. There is a large square of water clipping through all of the rocks and terrain of the road and floating a little above the road. There's an even worse glitch when I get to Megaton. The little puddle that the bomb is sitting in has a similar water glitch that covers most of Megaton, floating in mid air.
I tried uninstalling everything except TTW and it's still there. Tried regenerating my TTW FOMOD. Tried Deleting all of my Fallout 3 files and reverifying my local files in Steam so it downloads fresh ones, then regenerate my TTW FOMOD again and it's still there. I don't see any other visual glitches whether I re-enable my mods or not.
Good call, I just tested it without my ENB and no more water issue. Is there an ENB that doesn't do that? I'm using Enhanced Shaders ENB.
Edit: Tried several other ENBs just now and they all do it so I guess I'll use One Tweak instead.
Found the ENB setting I was looking for. If you set this in enbseries.ini then the graphics glitch is gone.
[GLOBAL]
UseEffect=false
So at this point you're only using ENBoost I believe. I may mess with ENB some more and see if I can find specifically which feature is causing that glitch so I can just disable that piece.
Haha, actually the best way is to reread the ENB instructions and follow the step that I missed. I forgot to disable Anti Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, and Water Displacement in the FNV Launcher. Did that and now ENB works with no glitch :)
I got addicted to ENB playing Skyrim. Hadn't used it before in Fallout so I wanted to try it.
