UnapolMaker Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Anyone have any idea for fixes for Fallout 4 just completely freezing forever once I try to save?? It just freezes up (alt tabbing makes the screen go black) and the only way to get out is to kill it in task manager. I've waited as long as 25 mins just to see if it'd fix itself, no luck. Game loads perfectly fine, as far as I can tell there's no glaring issues with gameplay, but as soon as I try to save, or if the game ever tries to autosave, it freezes up. Game is heavily modded but this issue is brand new. I've already been troubleshooting for 6 hours on and off. It doesn't appear to be caused by either of the 2 mods I added since the issue began, nor does it appear to be caused by any obvious conflict. Deleting old saves did not help. I do get a papyrus log but I don't think it's relevant after sifting thru it a bit, although I can't tell if the log continues *after* I hit save or if it stops as soon as the game freezes.

UnapolMaker Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Good news! I believe I've managed to fix it. For the future in case anyone else has the freezing save issue: What fixed the freezing saves for me was this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12997 I found this mod through this thread: https://simsettlements.com/site/index.php?threads/vault-88-a-new-problem-game-freezes.12354/ Apparently this is at least partly caused by bugged hostiles. It may not work the first time you attempt to save, but if this happens don't give up: Try going to another settlement and sleep for at least 72 hours (to clear out any other issues like bugged tables or whatever) I also ran the kah command just in case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
