Crash on entry of a new cell.

[Timmhaze]

Hello to anyone who is interested in reading this. Any help is appreciated.

 

In the past few weeks I have been filling my spare time with a fair bit of Fallout: New Vegas play. I have had, modded, and played this game many times. Of course, since it's a Fallout game built off of the Bethesda engine it is buggy, prone to crashing and generally not very stable.

 

Onto the main point. My game had been running smoothly up until around 2 days ago. I had been doing a Courier play through, as in a character who follow's the role of what I would imagine the courier would be like (Wasteland, cowboy-esque, survivalist with questionable morals, but does try to do the right thing at the end of the day etc.). I have been systematically been finishing the companion quest lines before going off to the Divide and then Hoover dam to finish off the story I had made for my character. I was on Veronica's quest when this crash had started. I had brought her to see Elder MacNamara and she had just finished arguing about the direction the brotherhood was going in etc. I was leaving the level 2 room, got that stern talk from the members of the BoS and then wen't through the door up to the next level. All of a sudden, my game froze and crashed with the error message and so on and so forth. I assumed it was a once off, the game is very glitchy after all, so I reloaded and tried again. When it crashed the second time I got annoyed, reloaded, and instead used the "movetoqt" console command to teleport myself to the objective, a terminal in which Veronica would find where the energy weapon the I needed was. As soon as I appeared in the room with said terminal, my game froze, and crashed, just like before. In other word's, the crash happens when I load a new cell. I have tried several different methods of fixing this.

• Uninstalling the mods that were installed in the past 48 hours (Seeing as my game was fine well before that).
• Creating a clean save and loading from a new game.
• Validating the game files.
• Running BOSS.
• Running FNVEdit to find any incompatibilities.

All I have to show for it all was this, the error report that was in the text telling me that my game had crashed:

I am using borderless windowed mode and have about 139 ESP's loaded.

If you need anymore information please post here. Any suggestions are much obliged, Thank you.

Did you also try loading a save from over 48 hours ago? In other words testing a save in a known good state?

Do you use a merge patch?

Are you aware that at 139 you are well within the zone where the game engine typically begins to freak out? Have you considered reducing the load list and/or merging some of the esps?

Exception code C0000005 signifies that a program tried to access a memory address that was reserved, typically in the 00000000-0000FFFF range. This is usually caused by a program trying to access the memory address of a NULL pointer, which would qualify as a bug in the program's code. You can try removing mods, finishing other quests and coming back, or any number of things to shuffle things up in memory, but there's no real way to tell what the cause of the crash really is.
