Deleted945028User Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Thank you for reading this post. I was doing the Those! quest as I came to the Falls Church exit and tried to use door but the game crashed on auto save I became stuck in Marigold Station I was able to make it out by killing the player and letting the game reload but auto save, quick save, normal save and even saving with the console command failed all end with a crash. I have tried disabling all mods (I don't have any DLCs)I killed the player and let the game reload (worked for awhile)I did not reinstall Fo3 I was kinda avoiding reinstallingI am using patch 1.6deleted all .TMP files in the save folder This is not the first time I had this problem it came up a good while back not long after the game first came out. two times in the same place is a bit odd but it could be a random bug that just happened to pop up there.
JimboUK Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Have you tried deleting the autosaves and loading from an earlier proper save, you wouldn't be the first to have a problem with the autosave.
Deleted945028User Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 I did make a quick save right before I used the door that's the one I loaded from after the first crash.
PaulEmil Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 If you have god mode turned on, turn it off then do player.kill in the console. It works for me and I have a similar problem fairly regularly.
JimboUK Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Have you tried waiting 4 in game days where you are so the cell your trying to enter resets? I've had crashes from going through a door that went away after waiting.
Deleted945028User Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 I never used the player.kill command but sounds better than carrying grenades all the time. Waiting is also worth a try.
nk911ea Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Also if those methods dont work load from a Hard save, assuming you have one. Quick/auto saves often become corrupted especially when modding. Its a good practice to Hard save when you complete quest series so as to not lose hours or even days of work when this happens. Hope this helps.
Deleted945028User Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 I think I got it now. I disabled auto save completely (seems it was the main problem).As soon as I start the game I use player.kill.I can use quick save but still don't trust it.Also made sure there was no .TMP files in the save folder. I did this last night and was able to run the the game for 8+ hours with out a crash. Thank you for all your help.
