After installing the fake patch, new games still work, but save games that are currently playing or have played DLC content crash instantly. Is this normal or should I be able to load my already created save? (note: saves from before DLC was installed work fine, radio beacons for the DLC locations show up without any problem). Could it be the fact that the ones that have DLC installed already are from a newer version of fallout and the pre-dlc one is from 1.0.0.15?
let me know
From all I've seen, saves work the same patching forward or backward, DLC's or not. The DLC content should load the same regardless of which version you're patched to, at least so long as it's in Data with everything else. Do you have FOSE installed? I'm not certain, but some
have reported instability with the DLC's w/o FOSE... I've tested both with and without it and had no problems, either way. Also, make sure your sArchiveList= entry is correct as one character wrong in the Fallout.ini will result in an archive not opening while 1.4.0.6 will load it automatically.
Thanks for explaining how the Fake Patch works it's magic. And thanks again for making such a simple and elegant solution to the V.A.T.S. mess.
No prob. :) I'm still glad it's coming in handy, but am also hoping for an official patch to come along before Broken Steel as It's gonna be tough to fit all the DLC archives under 255 characters. >_
< All of the archive names will need to be condensed or at least one DLC's archives will need to be extracted, and evidently even more DLC is coming after Broken Steel...
Here's hoping this mod
doesn't make it to thread #3. :foodndrink:
