Every time I open a cell the GECK gives me a list of usually around 8 of 9 textures it cannot load, mostly centered around faces, and then crashes. It's far worse if I dare try to open a cell with water. But I was wondering if anyone has found a way to either fix or get around this issue. As it is now, it's just unusable.

This seems to be specific to you, as, at least it is my understanding, the G.E.C.K. normally loads and functions decently, i.e. this shouldn't be happening to you

I mean, I get messages like that, such as something about an ear texture, but for me its, at least so far, completely ignorable

Does Fallout 3 load and play well or satisfactory on the computer your are trying to run G.E.C.K.? It sounds like your video card doesn't support what the G.E.C.K. requires for certain video rendering. But, mostly my impression is that there's some kind of conflict or installation error

I'd try reinstalling if you haven't, or and searching the error's your are getting for a solution

What file are you setting as your active?

It could be an install problem , But it sounds like your loading some one elses mod. And there are some textures that werent created with the GECK ?

Would that be project beauty?
