OPTIONS AND MULTIPLAYER PROBLEM!!!

[SUM1]

This is similar to the freeze problem, except it's whenever I choose any multiplayer option (apart from party) the game freezes. It freezes while it connects so I don't get to see anything. Same with options, whenever I select it, it sort of freezes at a point between selecting it and actually seeing the options, which also means I don't get to see the options either. This is what I have in my patch file. It is quite a lot mind you:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Overrite.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Updates2.bfs
FOJ_C_MOD_Carpack3_addon.bfs
Heddlys_CustomCars_Pack4_part_1.bfs
Heddlys_CustomCars_Pack4_part_2.bfs
f8-mine-field_carpack-beta.bfs
Buttonfinal.bfs
FastStartProfile.bfs
new_fonts.bfs
aldimod.bfs
bigcatdumper112.bfs
roamerv2.bfs
uncensoredUS.bfs
santacar48.bfs
GRID-fig8-jup-trackpack.bfs
voices.bfs
deadmans-run.bfs
master aerobatics male 1.0.bfs
car47Axel.bfs
car85_dirtbike.bfs
car113_vespa.bfs
car122RoadRocket.bfs
6whl_canyon.bfs
CarSelectionGenericMenu.bfs
Body.bfs
texturepack.bfs
pavedconversion.bfs

It may well be something in the patch file but I just can't work out what it is. Pleasde help! SUM1.

Would seem you need to do some testing to see which bfs files are not getting a long. I would start with this patch file:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Overrite.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Updates2.bfs
FOJ_C_MOD_Carpack3_addon.bfs
Heddlys_CustomCars_Pack4_part_1.bfs
Heddlys_CustomCars_Pack4_part_2.bfs

Now add one more bfs file at a time to list above. If get an error when add new bfs file, then will need to drop that bfs file from the list. I would save the single car bfs files until last, to add them to patch file.

Some the bfs files in your list were made before part 5 was release, so some of them may not work with part 5.


Also be aware that the custom cars in the f8-mine-field_carpack-beta.bfs file are also in Heddly carpack 4. And I don't think the track in this bfs file will show, if you load the deadmans-run.bfs file.

I tried it with those bfs's but it still froze. I once tried it with no patch file at all and it still happens.

[Purple44]

If game freezes with a stock "patch" file:

patch1.bfs

Then you have issues with your stock FO 2 game. Need to get stock game running first and then get parts 1-5 "patch" file working before add any new mods.

[Heddly]

Do you get an error message? If so what does it say?

[SUM1]

@Purple44 I'll need some instructions on how to do that

@Heddly It says Fatal error as the title and the message is Runtime error.

[Heddly]

Try making a backup of your SaveGame folder and delete the old one. When you start the game it will create a new profile.

 They can get corrupted at times. A well known cause is if you use Profile 1 with a custom car as default. This is not recommended.

I hope this helps.

I tried that but the problem persists. And also I said earlier I don't use profile one. I use two. It says on the profile menu anyway I saw it there it's in bright yellow letters with a purply outline it's at the top and it has some info in it.

[Heddly]

Could you list the "patch" file to have a look at. Did you add anything to the "filesystem" file?

It sounds like you are still having a conflict in that area.

[SUM1]

(Sorry for late post) The only files in the filesystem file are fo1.bfs, fo2.bfs, and the other preset file names. I have no mods in that file, so there wouldn't be any conflict.The patch file is more or less the same as it was in the first post, with only car139_Demo_Dozer.bfs added on.

=========================================================
1. the "filesystem" does not use fo1.bfs, fo2.bfs, and the other preset file names.It uses :

fo2a.bfs
fo2c.bfs

2. Your "patch file" will never work because you have too many mods added that will conflict with each other.You don't seem to understand or listen to the advice that has been given. I will not provide anymore of my help if you won't help yourself.Make sure the game will run "stock" without any mods included.If the game runs in stock "original" mode Try adding the filesystem and patch that I have attached. The mod should work. If so add 1 mod at a time and do not leave any empty spaces at the end of any lines.

You can also use the FOJ Mod Manager that is included with Part-5 dOWNLOAD OF THE MOD."FOJs_Community_Mod_Updates2.bfs"

 USE THIS to be sure the mod works.
