help with ctd's

[securenym]

I am having CTD's at the same locations and can't seem to find what is causing it.

I started a new game with no mods and no add-ons. just FalloutNV.

Saved it (original save outside Doc's house) and went to 2 of the places that i crash.

1) the area near the mojave outpost down near the Ivanpah race track. Save #2

2) the area near Wolfhorn ranch. Save #3

I added in the add-ons Dead Money and Honest Hearts. loaded the games and explored the areas. No problems.

Then I went through with the mods, adding one at a time, making merged patches and exploring the areas.

I CTD'ed with Weapon Mods eXpanded so i got rid of it.

Continued with the rest of the mods and was able to explore the areas.

Then I started playing with my original save and deleted the others.

Now when I get to these areas I CTD again. I have gone back several saves just in case it was something i did/picked up but it still crashes when i get to the areas.

I alternate saves every 5 saves and have 4 save slots used. one is the original save and then 3 others that I use.

If I take my original save and run to these locations I am fine, so something i have picked up or quest that I have done seems to crash me.

I have since added NV game stabilizer and NV stutter remover, still no luck.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

You might try cleaning your save. Save just outside the spot thats crashing you, open the console, target yourself and type "kill" in the command line and hit return. Let the game auto reload your last save and then see if you still crash. If no crashes, do another save and continue playing!

[ccmechanic2]

Can you send me a zipped up copy of the saved game that gives you the crashing issue? I would be interested in seeing what Items are there. And also a copy of your "mypatch.esp" I will do some research with those files and A7b and see if I can nail it down for you. A7b was A7 just tweaked to satisfy some folks over a water issue, I would ask if you would try A7 and go at it again. I'll wait for your reply.

Thank you for responding.

I just tried that with no change, But I tried something else

I loaded an old save (Primm before i went to Mojave) and as long as I don't kill the highway vipers it doesn't crash.

So I ran to wolfhorn and again no crash. went back and killed the vipers sure enough when I went back to wolfhorn it crashes.

So next I loaded a save in Nipton, my last good save. and ran past the vipers and saved in wolfhorn ranch house. Quit and reloaded the game. exited and can continue on.

Then I took the Nipton save and this time killed the vipers and was safe at wolfhorn. I didn't loot them this time. I usually take any food/chems or weapons/ammo/armour if i need repairs etc

So i am guessing that picking up something from the vipers is giving me a delayed crash???

or maybe it's the bodies themselves. I use dimon with Beware of Girl and roberts nudes. I just renamed the ones I like to the default name. (UpperBodyMale.dds UpperBody.nif & UpperBodyFemale.dds FemaleUpperBody.NIF)

If I can find the original bodies (clothed) I will try instead to use a plugin to change bodies and see if that helps, but I doubt it as these are the same skins that i have used since the beginning.

My head is spinning.

Downloading A7 now, will be awhile (slow connection). Will test it out tomorrow night as I need to go to bed soon. Work comes way to early :-)

Thank you.

Tomorrow then, I have some things off line I need to do any how, but your post tells me you have the required knowledge to get to the bottom of this weird bug, Vipers? what mod places them into the game?

couldn't sleep so I deleted and reinstalled the game, just waiting for it to finish the updates. Boy am i going to regret this when I have to get up in 5 more hours :-)

The viper gunslingers are located on the road from nipton to wolfhorn ranch at the overturned truck with the landmines under the cones. then up the road and to the left is another bunch of "raider types"

in a small alcove. I think they were also viper gangs.

I saved my save game but forgot to save the patch, I just need to download a zip program and I will attach it. It wouldn't let me upload it as is.

[ccmechanic2]

Go to sleep, Tomorrow will be better for you, This game thing can drag on for hours and you need rest.

Hahahaha just call me el stupido :-)

So far the game runs and works correctly. I even loaded a save game that crashed before.

My problem. The body mods that I modified. I had modified them again when i got Honest hearts and was able to complete the game with a few CTD's so thought it was normal for HH.

With a normal install of the body mods, with no changes from me, the game works. If I use a plugin file That I created with my modified bodies, I CTD. lesson learned from now on use plugins to change things. :-)

I was even able to get Weapon Mods eXpanded reinstalled and working.

Thank you everyone.

 

And to ccmechanic2 :

I tried the version 7 of the Stabilizer and went back to 7b, as the missing water was weird to look at :-)

[ccmechanic2]

Ok great ! I'll leave A7b up then, Still working on other things that have been reported the water issue is now solved and in My current works, So I am proceeding with the listed things found here to fix other cross connected mods use. One at a time. Slowly the worm turns Lol !!!!!! Your experiences is why I posted NOT to modify My mod, heh, yeah I know it too, been there , done that. Body mod? which one ?
