Error when installing

Post by OtterFloof » Fri Jan 04, 2019 8:04 pm

Hello, I have recently decided to return to playing TTW and was pleasently surprised to see that it got updated to 3.2 recently. Previously I have played TTW 2.9.4 and was able to install it without problems.

Currently, when using the 3.2 installer, I get two errors saying:
"XD3_INVALID_INPUT /* invalid input/decoder error */" , "Error occured processing file: .\ThePitt.esm"

I have a clean Steam install of FO3 (non-GOTY version) and FNV, edit: both with all DLC's, ran the launcher to create the .ini's, which the TTW installer automatically recognised and have tried using the installer as administrator, but all to no avail.

Do you own all the Fallout 3 DLC?

I forgot to mention but yes, I have all FO3 and NV DLC.
I also checked the faq post you've linked previously and noticed that FO3 couldn't launch after I pressed start. I had to install GFWL and the 1.7 patch as recommended, checked if I could start the game, which now worked, ran the TTW installer and it still gives me the same two errors about ThePitt.esm.

Edit: Nvm, I managed to fix the issue. After another clean reinstall, verifying files and a few more greese work, apparently whatever was broken became fixed. I'd explain what fixed it if I knew it myself.

I had a similar problem, but it was because i had my Fallout 3 in another language, i switched it back to english and it worked, so if anyone has the same problem, just know that it may be your game's language, try it if you have a problem with installing TTW saying "Error occured processing file: .\ThePitt.esm"...

I'm getting that error too. It says it's "dlc04ferriswheelbase.nif. I don't think it's the point lookout.esm. it's the .bsa. I'm not going to have it install into the data folder this time though. Had a hell of a time cleaning out what the error left in the folder.
