Little help for a FCOM newcomer... : IV

» Tue May 03, 2011 8:49 am

Hi there

So, after 3 evenings and a failure, I finally managed to run my first FCOM game, thx to http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1119325-50steps-to-stable-fcom/.

I have two questions (sry for my english)...

I activated mods one by one (activate/load/save/exit). I noticed that if one these 3 mods are checked, load & save works fine but I have ctd on exit every time : Better Imperial City, Unique Landscape - Beaches of Cyrodil (removed from my mod list) and Cobl Races.

First question : Do I have to worry about that ? Is it a sign that my game is (or will become) unstable ?

Second question : I have a meshe or texture issue (female Blade Armor chest is.. hum just not there). I think it's something to with EVE HGEC and its compatibility patches.

Is there a way find to the missing mesh, and fix it without doing all the activate/load/save/exit stuff ? (may be just rebuild the patch ?)

Here's my mod list :

I have two questions (sry for my english)...

I activated mods one by one (activate/load/save/exit). I noticed that if one these 3 mods are checked, load & save works fine but I have ctd on exit every time : Better Imperial City, Unique Landscape - Beaches of Cyrodil (removed from my mod list) and Cobl Races.

First question : Do I have to worry about that ? Is it a sign that my game is (or will become) unstable ?

CTD's on exit are more or less normal when using lots of mods. Fast Exit 2 will take care of it (requires OBSE).

Second question : I have a meshe or texture issue (female Blade Armor chest is.. hum just not there). I think it's something to with EVE HGEC and its compatibility patches.

Is there a way find to the missing mesh, and fix it without doing all the activate/load/save/exit stuff ? (may be just rebuild the patch ?)

Sounds like you're missing resources from OOO. Make sure you have 1.33 Complete as well as 1.34 Beta 5 installed. You can check which mod a missing mesh/texture comes from with RefScopre or FormID Finder.

Some notes on your load order:

0F Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp - Use the Bashed Patch tweak and save a slot.

12 MOBS.esp [Version 1.2.2a] - Consider using OMOBS instead as OOO/FCOM uses it. Also, import stats into Bashed Patch and keep unchecked.
13 MOBS SI.esp [Version 1.2.2a] - As above.

2E EVE_StockEquipmentReplacer.esp - This is perhaps it when it comes to the missing cuirass. Install the resources for stock, MMM, OOO - but only use the EVE_StockEquipmentReplacer4FCOM.esp. (And the Fransfemale.esp in your case.)

37 Oblivion WarCry EV.esp [Version 1.09]
38 FCOM_WarCry.esp [Version 0.9.9MB3] - Update to 109.

47 EVE_StockEquipmentReplacer4FCOM.esp - See above.

Also, consider using Cobl Races TNR as you're already are using Cobl Races. Nice addition IMO, with TNR's faces and eyes/hairs from CR.

Thank you very much, I'll check that.

I have to go back to work... game now.

You're welcome. Forgot to add: also make sure you're using BSA redirection, either via Wrye Bash or OBMM.
