Unavoidable crash during intro when approaching the bridge outside Vault 111

[Laserbeam123]

Hello.

Having that issue of being unable to progress anywhere in the game because the game silently decides to CTD when approaching the bridge right outside the vault, after the couple arguing about their bags.

Disabled all mods and ran the game without F4SE enabled, made sure to disable weapon debris, started another game fresh and unmodded, and still no dice, still CTD.

Anybody have any idea what I should be doing?

 

EDIT: Solved! Was just as sealgaire 0451 said. MO2 profiles messing up .inis

Are you using mod manager 2 by any chance? I had this issue and it turned out an option called "use profile specific game ini files" was making it ignore the fallout.ini that had weapon debris turned off. So try that if it applies.

Oh, I am. I already tried reinstalling while having mods disabled, but I guess your help made that pointless xd

So that did the trick? Don't know why I didn't mention it, but there's also a fix you can download that allows you to use weapon debris without crashes. Real bad look for bethesda that a fan managed to fix such a prevalent and severe bug that's been present for years. Here's that:

They also made another great patch I would recommend that fixes a lot of other physics bugs and fps issues:
