Trying to figure out the cause of a freeze/crash

Unless something changed in the last thirty or so years, that sounds like a windows issue, possibly caused by performance issues. This is just a guess base on very old knowledge, though.

Hi PancakeTaker,

Did you by any chance ever figure out this issue? Because I am having an IDENTICAL problem, right down to your description of the audio pops, brief freeze and then ctd with no crash log. It usually happens in the Boston area anywhere from just over the river from Bunker Hill to Boston Common. It's often more or less repeatable as well. 

 

Any info greatly appreciated!

On the off-chance this helps anyone, I think I finally found the cause of this specific freeze/CTD - I had Distant Object Detail in the Fallout 4 Launcher set to Ultra, and reducing it to High or lower seems to have fixed it. This crash was happening with a succession of different LOD mods so presumably it has to do with the setting itself.

I never did understand why community fixes and patches are so popular. They usually try to fix things which aren't even broken. I wouldn't dream of installing such a patch if:

a) I don't need it, and

b) it didn't actually do something specific I need to with a particular mod or set of mods.

For instance, I mention I use the Indarello patch for some animations, but it actually does stuff (adding certain combinations of animations and conditions not native to some installed animations). And it's completely stable and doesn't need patches or utilities to stabilize it.

But the idea of needing to install a patch for stability makes no sense to me. If something is unstable, one shouldn't be trying to patch it. One should simply not install it.

It's why I don't use Buffout 4, for instance. Anything that needs Buffout 4 to run (such as the Read the F* Manual set of patches) is something I simply refuse to install. I understand why some people might install it anyway because that procedure's patch is geared toward male gay animations, so if someone is willing to get instability to get more male gay animations, that's up to them. But there's a price for installing anything unstable.

That also is an issue to me.    With so many people reporting issues and they still have a mod mess loaded - I've always wondered what are some of these fixes based against.   More often than not people view "disable all your mods and test against the base game" like they'd view "stop at the STOP sign".    Why?   To much hassle.....
