Game Crashes at Start Up

Post » Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:10 am

Hi everybody, I am rather embarrassed to admit that I am having a CTD as soon as I start up Fallout 3. I have been trying to fix it for about three days, as I was too proud to admit it. Anyway, I have finally lost all hope of doing this on my own, and I was hoping that one of the uber gurus here on the site could help me. Please, please, I really need help...

I have ruled out load order, as the same exact load order I have now worked before the CTD began and when I deactivate Archive Invalidation, the game works, although all the guns have no ironsights, and have wierd textures, and I think it is something to do with HUD_Mainmenu.xml (I think I spelled that right...). I had overwritten it when I had installed FWE Overhaul and I couldn't get selective fire, so I copied in the darnified HUD even though I didn't have Darn UI. That was a dumb mistake.

I hope I can fix this without reinstalling Fallout, as I am at college, and my disk is back at home, I use FOSE, so I don't need the disk. That was another dumb mistake. Can anyone help me, or am I up a creek without a paddle.

And if it will help, here is my load order
