FNV Freezing randomly when opening pipboy

[Valen010]

Whenever I open my pipboy there seems to be a random chance of the game freezing. Sometimes it feels like it’s a 50/50 chance, other times it won’t happen for hours. It does seem to be getting worse as the game goes on though. It seemed to only be happening indoors for the first 35ish hours of this play through (and it is still more common indoors), but now that I’m about 50 hours in, it’s happening outdoors as well. This the only major issue I’ve had so far, in these 50 hours I’ve had 5 hard crashes, but about 20-30 of these freezes.

 

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I’ve searched these forums, google etc. I see a lot of people with pipboy related crashes, but I haven’t found anything like this random freeze when opening the pipboy.

 

I just recently starting using the pipboy 2500 mod in the last 2 hours of playing, I thought it might fix the issue. It doesn't make the issue any worse, but it doesn't seem to make it any better either. I also thought this might be related to the quad core freeze/crash but adding the two lines to my fallout.ini doesn't seem to help or hurt the issue. As long as I don't open my pipboy the game will run for hours, so I'm sure its not a hardware or heating issue.

 

Here is my load order, I used boss where I could and sorted manually if the mod either wasn’t sorted by boss, or had an issue with bosses load order. My load order has no dirty edits in boss (besides the FalloutNV file and official DLC) and FNVEdit reports no errors. I also use the stutter remover, NVSE, 4GB launcher and NVAC. No mods have been added or removed except pipboy 2500 for the entire playthrough.

If it helps anyone, I think I managed to fix this freezing issue by running the game in windowed mode and using OneTweak to go fake fullscreen.
