CTD when approaching East Boston

[mac2636]

I'm travelling right now so I don't have access to my pc, but since I'm stuck waiting in an airport I thought I might ask if anyone else has had a similar issue.

 

My game is heavily modded of course, I've actually being trying to push the limits and I may have at least found one major issues.

 

I have Piper as a follower and did have Cait as well (using Unlimited Followers). Recently freed Valentine but haven't returned to DC yet. Eneteted Good Neighbor, got quest from Hancock, hired MacCready (dismissing Cait), then dismissed MacCready (via in-game action, not console). Left Good Neighbor heading to Nordhagen Beach to finish Minutemen quest, but every time I'm close to the water for more than about 90 seconds I get an instant CTD. I found a similar issue with earlier versions of FO4 where people would get CTDs when going to Monsignor if they'd completed the Valentine quest, but I'm not sure if the issue is related. I loaded a couple different saves and tried approaching from different directions but no dice. Happens day and night.

 

Anyone else have a similar issue?

Update. It definitely has to do with Boston Airport because I can get a little closer depending on approach vector. I see that this was a bug in vanilla and should be fixed, but it doesn't seem to have worked in the case.

 

This particular CTD does not seem to be mod related as loading a much earlier save seems to prevent the CTD now.

 

Anyone else have any other options/workarounds to prevent the bug without reloading a much earlier save? I'd like to continue testing to see if I find any other issues running the current save.

 

I really wish Beth would concentrate more on fixing these types of bugs.

I am having this issue and it is preventing me from completing a Railroad quest. Trouble shooting right now...Is there a mesh there that is causing this? Having exactly the same experience as Mac and in the same area. Not sure it is Bethesda issue....we have had these type of CTD's with a mod altering a mesh beyond acceptable parameters in previous updates. It may be a unique mesh to that area...specifically the airport.

[mac2636]

My guess is it a script issue not a mesh issue. Otherwise previous saves would probably not work.

 

Tomorrow I will transfer the save to my other PC that is mostly unmodded to see what happens.

[johnnyprozac]

For me, previous saves are not working now. I made a mistake before of knowing where the crash area is and yeah I am crashing in previous saves now. So for me it may be a badly misbehaving mesh or texture.

Hi Johnny,

 

My fix was to revert back to the default ini then re-edit the custom and prefs inis following this guide. Then load an earlier save. I've completely explored the Boston Airport now with Piper in tow, but have yet start other quests and then try to return to the airport. I will test some more early this week and report back.
