Nexus 3d Viewer help

[ridley075]

Hello all, I'm trying to view some of the games models in the 3d viewer in anticipation of starting a mod. I'm just using the nexus to view things right now, but I'm having a few problems. When I load up a fxsxml file in the asset browser, loads the 3d viewer, but no objects are shown. If I double click on the gr2 file, the whole program crashes. I'm not sure what's up, but I'm getting this error. Any help would be much appreciated!

Not only you has this problem, but most of the people here - doesn't have.

Firaxis broke the 3D Viewer a looong time ago, and have never fixed it. You have to get a hold of an old version of the SDK [one is linked here], put it in a different folder, and change the Executable key in your registry HKCU\Software\Firaxis\Nexus\Viewer to point to the full path to this old version of Viewer.exe. Then, run the old version of Nexus.exe when you want to use Nexus rather than picking it from the SDK menu (or else you'll get a bunch of odd error messages).

I have this problem too. But before reinstalling my Win7 I had Telerik for Winforms 2009. And new Nexus buddy worked perfect. Now I don't have these utils. It's too difficult and expensive for russian to get 2009 version.
I compared NexusBuddy error logs with logs of Assets Viewer. These two problems can be identical.
