Hi all,

I've been experiencing some very regular crashes in my modded version of Fallout 3 on PC.

As I'm on my work machine, I can't list my specific load order. But I am

All DLC's
Stutter remover
FWE
Marts Mutant Mod
Fook2
Unofficial Patch 1.7
!080 hi res textures
And numerous others,

The mods all seem to play nice with one another and just for good luck have been FO3 edited to create a master patch of them.

I've also done the listed fix invloving editing the fallout ini but to no avail.

My troubleshooting today led me to the discovery that on the fallout launcher settings, setting graphics to low stopped the crashing I was having entering a specific place (Tenpenny Tower).

Changing the graphics one by one back to hi showed that Texture being set at high was causing the crash. Medium and low was fine.

My question is this:

Is there anyway to fix this? Medium doesnt look bad but it is no high and am running out of options to try and fix it.

My PC Build is:

Asus z87 Extreme Motherboard
I5 4670K CPU
Gigabyte GE Force GTX 670 2gb
(GPU pushes to a 23" 1920X1080 Gaming monitor)
16gb Ram (just basic ram)
Game is running off a 120gb SSD

All drivers etc are up to date

Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated,

Regards

WELL, it seems (thou take my advice with a grain of salt) that the texture crashing the game is in tenpeny tower, so Ill assume your hi res texture pack has a texture in that specific place that is causing the crash.
You could try to locate the texture and replace it with the original texture from fallout 3.

Also reinstalling the texture mod might do the trick, but rather low chance of it working.

If you have a lot of mods, look for any mod that modifies Textures (ambient lightining, better shadows, and similar).

Those have a high probability to be the cause of the texture glitch as well.

Unfortunatelly, this is a moding question and not a craching/game question, so you will have more luck in the nexus Forums.
