"Missing Master" CTD error in Hidden Valley, Dead Money, other places

[jadebrain]

(Copied and pasted from the Steam Discussions, where I posted the same thing)

Hello,
I have experienced a "missing master" ctd in the following places in my game:
-At the Abandoned BOS Bunker where Dead Money starts, when the gas is supposed to knock my character unconscious,
-At the Hidden Valley Bunker, when I am supposed to have all my things taken from me before I start the "Still in the Sark" quest,
-In the New Vegas Bounties I mod, when I'm in Mago's Shelter and I'm supposed to be knocked out by gas, similar to Dead Money.

The problem is, I have all the DLC's, and they're all active and loaded before everything else (except for the FalloutNV.esm, of course, which is loaded first). I've used several programs, including FNVEdit and Wryeflash, to find out what is wrong, and neither report any missing masters. I even tried deleting and reinstalling all of the .esm's (with special attention paid to Dead Money), and none of that fixes the problem.

My load order (sans inactive mods), as exported from NMM, is as follows:

FalloutNV.esm=1
DeadMoney.esm=1

(The Modfusion contains the CASE mod for new ammo types, as well as the Craft Master and Craft Pack mods that it requires, IIRC; the "CL-NoKarmaLossThief" mod is one of my own, and somewhat successfully removes the karma loss for stealing from the Legion, in case you're wondering)

Okay, so if you go to the FNVEdit, and launch it.. Is there any sort of conflict or does it say what master it needs? And if you could send the Log to me, ill try see if i can see something odd. Ive had alot of issue's with Matser's. And i have fixed my own game.

I'm not any modder or expert OR anything similar to that.

[jadebrain]

You mean just launch FNVEdit? I'll admit, I'm not really good at modding, either, so I'm not really familiar with FNVEdit's interface, but based on what it displays, and comparing that to what I found for online help, it doesn't show any conflicts... I could just be looking in the wrong place, though.

As for showing the log, I'll attach two logs in a Zip archive. One log is what was recorded after simply launching the FNVEdit program and waiting for it to load all my mods, and the other is what was recorded after doing that and also using the "Check for Errors" option in the right-click drop-down menu. If you need me to provide any other info, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Okay so, i see some error's or "Duplicates with you're Merge patch. I had the same error. Try Disable or Uncheck the Merge patch in NMM. Under plugins.

 

Also, I see that there's much more text then i get for some resson.

 

But as said, try Uncheck the Merge patch in you're NMM and see if that helps.

 

 

So this is what i mean that the Merge patch COULD mabye be conflicting:

You mean the "Merged1.esp?" I actually made that as an experiment to see if it would help fix the problem. It didn't, and so it's already disabled.

On a side note, I ended up taking out most of my character's inventory (some items could not be removed) and putting them in the "personal storage" containers provided by the Cheat Terminal mod to see if any items in my inventory were causing the issue. Somehow, I managed to get into the Hidden Valley Bunker without the CTD occurring, which is good. However, given the vast amount of items that I ended up taking out, I don't think I'd have the patience to figure out which items were specifically causing them problem... I have yet to test this workaround on the other two areas where this problem occurs, though.

[KnightRider3x]

Okay well, then it's out of my knowledge. But yea. It could be an Item that is causing it. You would have to try do it with all the item's until you find the item that is causing the problem. Good luck man.
