IrishmanErrant Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The title is pretty self explanatory, but I'm starting to crash whenever I try to enter a building, or wait. Fast travel doesn't seem to do it though. Help? Is it a mod issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarry829 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I've been having the same problem since last Thursday. I had almost 50 hours of gameplay with nary a crash, and added no new mods in the week before hand. Now I can't enter or leave a building once I get out of Good Springs. I tried re-installing the game, and clearing out my save files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Sounds like the game is crashing while saving. Turn off the three autosave options and hard save often or get CASM (requires NVSE). Edit: This might not fix your issue after all. I have recently had issues with saving by any means. I've narrowed it down to looping quest scripts in a couple of places not saving correctly, but I need to do some research into those scripts and variables before attempting to correct the problem. Only real advice I can give is to stay away from the REPCONN test facility altogether; you can pickpocket the information you need to advance the main quest from Manny Vargas without doing his quest sending you there. All signs point to a runaway script that will cause the engine to crash when saving later in the game.

csmithsr90 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) How did you come to that conclusion ... I have recently started to not be able to save after a level up? If it is a runaway script, how could that be verified? Edited February 7, 2011 by csmithsr90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I found an simple fix after scouring some forums: Load your save and then kill yourself with the console (prid player, kill) and let it reload the save. Then save to a new file. It sounds silly, but I've had it work on some of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tntnfrd Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Load your save and then kill yourself with the console (prid player, kill) and let it reload the save. Then save to a new file. It sounds silly, but I've had it work on some of mine. Thank you so much ! I was going crazy with this. I can't believe this info is not more widely distributed as the bug seems to strike many people after 30-40 hours of gameplay, and is quite literally game-breaking. Don't know if it can help but here's my info : save got corrupt a first time in Fire Root Cavern, had to reload from an earlier save, then stopped using quicksave in favor of hard saves. This bought me some time, but after a couple hours, bug resurfaced. I was about to assault Nelson with Sgt Cooper and self-killed, reload/save, it works ! Also, to add something to the "looping quest script" thing : as I was cleaning up Nelson after fixing the rpoblem, I came across a good many NCR questgivers all bunched together in the camp : Hayes, Monroe, Quartermaster, etc. So it does seem indeed as some NCR-related scripts get stuck and this fix resets them in some way. I hope it is not just temporary and will stay that way ! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any ideas? Mine turned out to be a single mod (legion_adds.esp) that was doing it. Tried to find the problem with FNVEdit, but couldn't see what was wrong. There were only added legion troops in various areas. Must have been one of the NPC's was causing it. I just don't use it anymore. Saving fine now.
