WARNING! 1.3 update breaks the GECK : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:09 am

I just updated to the new patch and can no longer use the GECK!!!! :swear: Nothing loads, Nothing happens!!!! :banghead:

This is much worse then the FO3 v1.5 bug, at least then you could still use the GECK.

If you can avoid the update, I would!!

to late for me, this svcks! :violin: :facepalm:

You can't play without it? I don't understand.

The game plays, I just can't use the GECK, Which means I can no longer work on my mod, edit mods or, start a new one.

The GECK is simply busted! it will not load any mod or even the Fallout.esm

Edit: and, this is not related to NVSE, I don't use it in my mod.

But console users will be fine, right?

Should be, this is a PC issue for modders, has nothing to do with game play.

So you can still play. I see no problem.

If it breaks the geck the no more mods for PC, that is a HUGE problem... how nieve some can be. :facepalm:

Thanks for the warning Cev! I will just avoid playing the game or opening steam until this is fixed or worked out! (As I have MAJOR work to do on my mod)

What exactly happens when you try to load stuff in the geck?

Literally nothing. No files load, nothing comes up to work on... bleh.

And here I was looking forward to working on a NV version of Fallout Food today :nope:

So the geck will open. Then you pick your file, set active and whatnot, and say OK, and it just does nothing? This is bad... Hopefully they will notice and fix it quickly.

The weird thing is that you would think if it breaks it for us, it would for them. Unless they have been patching their geck and not releasing it, in which case they should release that. Because the geck already has so many bugs that need fixing.

Well nothing, clicked active on my mod, got the spinning cursor for about a second (thought it was loading) then nothing. It was like I had just opened the GECK, I tried again with the same result. I then tried to load the Fallout.esm and, again nothing happened.

Madcat has said they must have added some scripting functions to the new version which is causing the problem.

On a side note, FNVedit sill works properly so, there's at lease that.

Did you grab The GECK from our http://fallout.gamesas.com/eng/downloads/geck.html or from Steam? We'll upload a new version of the GECK to the website tomorrow. In the meantime, you can grab the latest version in the Tools menu in Steam.

Thanks Gstaff,

I didn't know there was an update to the GECK.

If it were pinned I must have missed it.

Exactly how you describe, yep. Not a bloody thing happens.

And I'm certain they have a much more... ah... robust... version of the GECK than we do.

Well, they'd better, anyway.

Glad to hear you guys are updating it so quick. I don't suppose you'd know if anything was updated in the GECK at all? That's usually the reason it's no longer compatible.

But isn't the latest version the original release? As far as I know there have been no patches to it at all. If they are releasing a patch for it tomorrow, that will be awesome! I really hope some major issues are fixed. (Lighting, havok, etc)

Yay!

Thanks, Gstaff.

Yeah, I don't see why anyone would need mods. If the game still plays, stop crying.

I assume your attempting to make a joke, right?

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:45 am

I'm not seeing the GECK under steam tools but, if I know a new version will be there or, released on the official thread I'll stop panicking. :cry:

I can wait a few days, just felt like it was the 1.5 bug again.

Nevermind, I read that incorrectly. So there is a newer version of the geck, compatable with the NV 1.3 patch, but it's not yet up on the website. Well, I don't see the geck at all in my steam tools menu. Can someone help me there? Consequently opening steam to look for the patch, resulted in my game updating too... So I kinda need to get it off steam now to keep working, but it isn't there. :sadvaultboy:

Yeah it's not showing for me either yet. It might take a couple hours for it to show up. Otherwise at least we'll get it within the next day or two from the website so no big deal i guess.

Ahh, good, it's not just me. Alright. Well, still I was planning like 4 hours of work tonight... I suppose a break wouldn't hurt.

Don't worry your not the only one. I have to update one of my mods which i apparently borked on something. And i had an idea for a mod last night which i'd love to try out.

The GECK is not listed in the tools on Steam. Lots of dedicated server apps, and a few SDKs for other games, but no GECK.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:09 am

It would have been nice to have been given some notification that the update would stop the GECK from working.
But I suspect that this issue has only just come to light.
