Fallout 3 GOTY crashes after player movement (USING MODS)
I have fallout 3 goty for windows, it crashes after walking a short distance in any direction, with or without mods active. I have done several "fixes" with no results.
I have added "bUseThreadedAI=1 iNumHWThreads=2" to the FALLOUT.INI file.
I have enabled large address handling (though I only have 2 gigs of ram and a 32 bit OS)
I have archive invalidation enabled
I used Fallout Mod Manager to disable GFWL
The game boots and loads all mods, so I have suspicion to believe its not a mod conflict.
I can load a game, and create a new game. If I walk too far/much in any direction the game crashes.
I have counted roughly 30 footstep sounds before each crash, and even crashes when walking against a wall.
My specs
HP Comquack dx2300 microtower
MSI 0A90 mobo
Intel Pentium Dual Core e2160 @ 1.8GHz (non core 2 duo)
2 gigs of DDR2 533mhz ram
2 nvidia graphics cards, ASUS gt210 1 gig model with passive cooler OC'ed, ASUS gt720 2 gig OC'ed "corporate stable model" with aftermarket cooler (Evercool Everlubricate VC-RF Universal VGA Cooler, copper color) The gt210 is OC'ed to 650mhz core and memory speed, the gt720 is OC'ed to 1100mhz core and 980 mhz memory, both are done in MSI afterburner.
Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium
WD Caviar 80gig 7200rpm main
WD Scorpio Blue 320gig 5400rpm 2.5" storage
Sandisk 64gig USB2.0 formatted for NTFS (this is where I have fallout 3 installed with all of the mods and fallout mod manager. I install games here that normally studder on my hard drives. transfer rate of 40 mb/s)
USB DAC for Sony MDR XD100 headphones for when I want some "nice" sound
pdp afterglow universal headset for chat and games, as well as onboard sound into cheapo speakers for games.
250 watt PSU
Temps on the CPU reach 60c at load
Temps on the gt210 never pass 41c
Temps on the gt720 never pass 35c
Temps on my hard drives never pass 35c
I can upgrade my ram to 4 gigs if that is an issue, and I can overclock the CPU to 2.4GHz.
I don't want to overclock the CPU because my power supply is already stretched thin and I don't want to change it out, though I can do that because I have a 350 watt power supply from an old AMD 64fx dual core build that I no longer use.
I have a key to use for w7 64bit from my old AMD build, but that's a daunting task to change OS's, but if that will help after upgrading to 4 gigs of RAM, I will switch.
My main issue is I AM CHEAP and I would like to get this running on my existing hardware and software combination. This computer runs far cry 2 on the gt720 at 50 fps avg. , and 30fps avg. on the gt210, with the settings nearly maxed at 1366x768, vsync off.
I am a little more of an advanced user, and I know basic DOS from being a 90's kid. I am new to Fallout 3 modding because I never had a GPU powerful enough to handle PC Oblivion/fallout at good framerates until recently BECAUSE I'M CHEAP and gamed on console.

The game also crashes without the mods on, and being installed on my other hard drives. All of the files, except FOSE, were downloaded with the Nexus Mod Manager (a glitchy, crash prone piece of crap) and installed with Fallout Mod Manager. I no longer have NMM due to rage delete, but if it will help I will (regretfully) re-install.
