I'm getting two errors after I try to run ArchiveInvalidation, first it says "can't find FALLOUT.ini" (It then allows me to successfully select it), after which it then says "Can't find Fallout 3 folder" and when it gives the option to find/select it, it gives the error "That's not the Fallout 3 folder". I've tried both selecting the folder in My Documents (where the saves are kept) and the one in Steamapps/Common where the Fallout.exe is. Neither works. What can I do to fix this?
Same here for this mod, also the vortex archive invalidation doesn't work just crashes game on launch, maybe a different mod organizers version of archive invalidation for fallout 3 would do the trick.
Anyone using Vortex in 2024 (it got better...) after you select FO3 as your profile, click on the dashboard, you should see a toggle button to turn Archive Invald on or off...simple....
Я обнаружил проблему, проблему с vortex. «Этому моду не назначен источник. Источник сообщает Vortex, откуда взялся мод и, если применимо, где проверить наличие обновлений. Вы можете установить источник на «Другое», чтобы отключить это. предупреждение". В вид мода добавлена Инвалидация Архива, и когда я захожу в раздел модов, у него там горит восклицательный знак, предупреждение. Как исправить эту ошибку???
hey guys im a new to modding and i have fallout 3 off of epic games and ive gotten a bunch of mods to work but ive been trying to fix the textures but ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated app cant detect fallout 3 and even if i manually select the folder it says that it isnt fallout 3
i already have FOSE and the anniversary patcher
if any one could help it would be greatly appreciated
The program is looking for "FalloutLauncher.exe." It works when changing the Fallout3.exe, from Steam install, to FalloutLauncher.exe. What I did was copy "Fallout3.exe", and renamed the new file, "Fallout3 - Copy" to "FalloutLauncher.exe." It worked for me.
For me it seems like all of the sudden it started to load a pixelated like TV LCD glitchy texture instead of stuff like metal shelfs, wood, some windows and metal pipes sticking out of the ground, please someone help me immediately.
hi guys, i am newbie and modding this game for the first time and my head is so confused. can someone show a way for me;
- i am using mod organiser 2 - i have goty steam version but downgraded with the Fallout Anniversary Patcher which also includes lot of things i guess.
so i have no idea what ArchiveInvalidation is since i havent seen this in skyrim and this is not updated since 2009.
do i need this still in 2023? and if i do then can someone post a link of some article or youtube video that shows how to deal with this in 2023? thx.
Well, you don't. Select profiles tab in MO2. Select your profile (since you are new I suppose you only have the default profile). Check the box near the text "Automatic archive invalidation". Close it. That feature make this program obsolete. I suppose other mod managers already has this feature in it. Basically that means this mod is useless now
I think I managed to solve this problem! rename the executable "Fallout3" to "FalloutLauncher" and try again! then put the name that was before: "Fallout3"
Just tried this myself and can confirm that it did stop the "This is not the Fallout 3 Folder" error from popping up and the program ran as normal, so I guess we'll see if it ends up working as intended
Also i changed the fallout 3 exe to fallout launcher and archives inv worked but it gave me a warning saying the game folder is in program files so it may behave strangely
extract, add to steam as non steam game, run using proton experimental, advanced settings, name and add game, copy location via dolphin MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE “Z:” at the beginning and “Fallout3.exe / Fallout.ini at the end of the path., (for some reason .dot files didn’t show even changing the prefix setting via Winecfg)
save changes, click the drop down and select the game you just made, generate the txt. DONE.
