5 major Broken Steel and v1.5 problems

[scorpioED]

So far I myself encountered 4 (and 1 read from posts) major Broken Steel and V1.5 problems in sequential order:

 

1. Savegame crash

2. Sarah didnt follow your character to the water purification chamber

3. Your character got cannot move 2-week later.

4. Fawkes disappear and Routhchild map problem.

5. Game crash @ lvl 21 or higher (read from posts).

 

Here is my workaround solution:

 

1. Savegame crash - do not upgraded to v1.5.

 

2. No Sarah - save your game before entering the chamber. Then, exit your game and upgade to v1.5. Reload this savegame to continue.

 

3. Your character cannot move 2-week later - upgrade to v1.5 solves this problem. Once your character can move under v1.5, save your game. Then, unistall Fallout 3 and patch up to anything but v1.5 to get around problem 1 above. Reload this savegame to continue.

 

4. Routhchild problem - disable FOOK. Once you get pass the Routhchild problem by disabliing FOOk, save your game. Now, you can re-enable FOOk to continue but of course all items related to FOOk which you have colloected before will be lost. However, you can get them back again when you continue to play once FOOK is re-enabled.

 

5. Game crash @ lvl 21 or higher - disable slower_leveling.esp. Keep a savegame before lvl 21 when you are using slower leveling. When your experience point is close to reaching lvl 21, disable slower_leveling.esp and use console command rewardxp - 20000 or whatever to keep your experience points lower than 32500 (official exp requirement for lvl 21). Of course, now from lvl 21 onward, you won't get slow leveling as that mod is disabled.
