Fallout 3 Crashes On Launch, Even With All Mods Unchecked

[NazWeed]

It all happened ever since I installed an ENB. Even with the ENB uninstalled it still crashes. Why is that? I'm certain it has to do with the ENB, and not my .esp/.esm files.

[NazWeed]

Also the same thing happened with Oblivion

Not sure if it's your case, but I had a similar issue on NV a couple of times, after ENB installation. I don't know exactly what caused it, I checked the cache with Steam which downloaded something and solved it - I suspect something involving shaders

I'll try that, and reinstalling everything but Data.

[NazWeed]

Strange, it's still happening.

If you have NVSE, launch from the NVSE_Loader.

The ENB would have modified the Fallout pref INI file; but, removing the ENB won't change it back. 

You might need to delete the existing one and then relaunch the game (from the game exe, not nvse) to have a new one created. 

Does this sound right to anyone else?  Please correct me if not.

[Almodo]

ah if it does, then yeah. Either that or restore the prefs from a backup (assuming you made one).

[NazWeed]

Not sure what I did but now it doesn't even go to the "Bethesda" screen.

[NazWeed]

I fixed it from crashing on launch, but now it still crashes when I load a game. Here is my load order.

The only difference now is that I got rid of SweetFX,

Did you try my suggestion? 

If it still crashes, use the tried and true method of starting without ANY mods (base game and dlcs only), and add mods one or a few at a time, until you spot the issue again. 

When finished, run FO3edit to make a custom merge patch.

Also: Have you run the LOOT program on your load list, or at least BOSS?  That helps resolve boo-boos sometimes too. 

These programs, and the instructions for using them, are discussed a number of times on this site.

[NazWeed]

Yeah I used LOOT, but I forgot to do the one at a time thing.

[NazWeed]

I think I fixed it, had to do with MMM. It still crashes in game though.

[NazWeed]

For the most part the game is running, but it never goes above 30FPS.

If you use stutter remover and don't change the settings, it could be the cause

[NazWeed]

Fixed mostly everything, thanks guys.

[NazWeed]

I am having one more problem, and that's my controls, and settings keep reseting themselves every time I launch the game.
