CTD immediately on loading : Fallout 3

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:25 pm

Hello everyone,

Just reinstalled Fallout 3 after upgrading to Windows 7 and it crashes immediately upon starting. I'm pretty sure it's related to the DLC; FO3Edit is telling me that itcannot find zeta.esm. Problem is, I have all the DLC and am sure it all working and installed properly. I unchecked all the mods that require DLCs to function and it started fine. I was going to try moving the DLC .esm's to the data folder but then I realized I can't find them anywhere. I'm using the retail copy of the game and the DLC was installed through GFWL (ack). Anyone know where GFWL keeps them? Or if that's not the problem, how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Ah, thanks a ton. Didn't even think of looking for hidden folders. Moving the .esms from there to Data seems to have fixed it.

Glad you found everything ok. :foodndrink:
