Installing GotR using Juiced v7.1.0 or later (for beginners)

[ElectroNuke]

So it's just 50/50 whether your game loads into the main menu or not? I've never heard of that issue. Though sometimes my game takes longer to load than others, or sometimes even fails to launch. I think it's to do with Juiced hooking into the game's .exe, but I can't be certain on that.

If there's a mod incompatibility, the game will usually crash at 80% loading before reaching the main menu.

Huh. Well, it holds on a black screen even with only the required files installed: preload.tbl, preload_anim.tbl, and the files from "modified". Thank god I use SuperF4 so I can close the failed launch and try again immediately.

Well, for the most part, this seems to have worked. I can wait on the DLC; in fact, I don't recall owning it when I first played this game on Xbox. However, the game holds on a black screen half of all startup attempts, and optional GotR mods like changing clothing colors in the wardrobe flat-out don't work. What's the likelihood of incompatibility?

EDIT: The optional mods actually work, I just had to put the line for that directory above the GotR line in loose.txt. The black screen still happens, though.

I also have the black screen during startup, too. had to end task via TM and then restart the game. I did not use SeaboundSaint's method of installing GoTR though, just the usual overwritten of files by copying from "My custom patch" folder. In fact I even used CGoTR and not the original to avoid as many issues as possible and this still happened.

Like I said, I've never experienced this. Have either of you tried removing GotR from your installation? Or tried to play pure Vanilla (except for Juiced)? If neither of those suggestions work, you could try reinstalling the game... You might also try the Limit Adjuster to see if that fixes it.

Edit: It could also be related to your Juiced installation. Either it wasn't installed correctly, or the LAA patcher (for Steam version) isn't patching correctly. I use GOG, so I've never had to use it myself. This is just what's been suggested to me.
