CTD when saving

[CrimsonKing1990]

Just like the title, I'm getting a CTD whenever I save the game. I've tried new saves, saving with console, and overwriting. Every time I try to save the game, I crash.

 

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

These methods helped me with my own savegame crash issues:

 

a) Use CASM. It substitutes Vanilla game saving and generally works a lot better. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3729

 

b) Locate your savegame folder and delete all quicksaves, and savegames you don't need any longer. Then load a game a few stages earlier than your last save, and try Saving. If it works, try loading a later game until you find out which savegame is corrupt, and continue playing from the savegame right before that. You may loose a lot of progress of course.

 

c) This method may not work, but i fixed a broken savegame with it: load game, equip grenade, and throw it to your feet. Or open console, type "player.kill". When your char dies, some animations will be reset. After that, saving should work. The downside is, you may have to repeat it everytime you start the game.

Run Fo3edit master update. That fixes the problem almost always.

The kill yourself thing is an ok workaround for one session. I don't think it has anything to do with animations though.

Why are you using the fake patch instead of the 1.7 official patch?

 

That also implies that you are using an outdated Unofficial Fallout Patch

I have the same problem. I have made a new install, because of some mods conflicting.

Game is with all DLCs and original 1.7 patch.

Have just done Super Duper mart with several saves but no problems. Then on my way back to Megaton, I want to save. And CTD. I can load my last save and play normally. But if I try to save, or the game make an auto-save : CTD.

I can see that the save shows up as a "fos.tmp" file in my save folder.

I am using FOMM and just tried the 3 GB enabler. It did not change anything.

I have about 10 saves in my folder, and the issue is the same with all of them.

Time for an update on this one. I found out that the CTD on save, always happened in the general vicinity of Megaton. Deleted the "Megaton expanded" mod. And things seem to be back to normal. Others seem to have no problems with that mod. But I guess it somehow interferes with MY game setup. Hopefully this can be a small contribution that might help someone.

That's interesting, as the Megaton Expanded mod was one of several I installed and then suffered regular CTDs. I also had a problem with the Moriarty's saloon interior walls disappearing and reappearing as I moved around the bar. I honestly can't say for sure that it was that particular mod though.

I have the same problem and CASM didn't work with me it ceeps crashing.

It gives this file '79f7_appcompat.txt' in the CTD message.

I have similar issue: I have CTD every time I am near Rivet City. The thing is I also have CTD while Im trying to enter RC...
