CTD's started today. Can't seem to shake them.

[Sardonnicus]

been playing this game with a low CTD rate for the past few months. Suddenly CTD's are happening everywhere. I cannot save, or enter a new area/home/location. I've been adjusting my mod load order with no luck meaning I cannot locate the mod that is conflicting.

 

Here is my current load order.

Taking a shot in the dark here... could dead money somehow cause this?

[Sardonnicus]

Don't think so. I played through it all 100% with no crashes or errors, and that was like 5 days ago. The crashes just started today.

 

I think the culprit is the additional quests and maybe the weather mods. Or possibly Lings, or the other character appearance mods.

I was able to overcome most of the issues I have faced with the optimizations shown here: http://segmentnext.com/2010/10/19/fallout-new-vegas-errors-crashes-freezes-fixes

 

The multithread part and fpsclamp did the trick at my rig.

 

Hope it helps!

Some good info. Thanks!

 

But how does that load order look? Based on the fact that the CTD's just started last night, I believe that my load order is to blame.

[MadNuttah]

I think you have to do some trial and error by disabling and reenabling mods. Downlopad FNVEdit and the corresponding manual and check your mods for errors or make a merged patch.

 

Do you still have this issue after setting the ini optimizations? I have set them to the file fallout_default.ini and the fallout.ini in your user's document folder.

I've run FOEdit with that load order, and it gives me no error messages. Usually, if there is a load order issue, it will tell me. But yeah, tonight, i'm going to do a more indepth "trial and error" rehash of all the mods. I've already disabled several gun and item mods that I do not use anymore.

Same thing happened to me. If you find out what's up let us know.

Same here but after a lot of searching and and failed fixes I came up with a half-a**ed fix which at least allows me to play the game again. Full explanation here -

I never even started Dead Money when my problems began. I'm thinking it's the combination of the latest patch and the DLC that somehow turns minor conflicts in your old load order into major problems now that FNVEdit isn't completely picking up on. I really don't know, but by using the FNVEdit Master Update and then toggling Archiveinvalidationinvalidated I'm back to reasonable game play with just the odd freeze occasionally. No harm giving it a try. Hope it works for you.

Yeah, I did all of this stuff, except for get rid of my save files which might be the problem. But even so, it works fine but I can't save. I'm gonna try to start a new save and see how it works.
