Main Menu Frozen!

Post » Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:36 am

After starting up Fallout 3, the green arrow and DarN UI indicator don't show up and the game freezes, with the music playing, but I am forced to reboot. Usually this is something wrong with mod incompatibilities, but I got those sorted out way back in March. I haven't made any changes to F3 (aside from updating the Mothership Zeta Crew mod) since March, and I recently upgraded to Win7. Here's my load order:

This happens to me sometimes as well.

When you start the game, DO NOT do any input, e.g. moving the mouse or pressing any keys, and after a few seconds the DarnUI symbol in the bottom-left of the screen will pop up. After that, you can skip the opening credits and proceed normally.
That works for me, anyways. Let me know if it helps.

Note that on my game, if any input is done before the DarnUI symbol appears, the game will completely freeze and the only way I can exit is with ctrl+alt+del.
