Save file strangeness


CarlCorey

Recommended Posts

For a long time, since I restarted playing FO3 last year, certain situations have led to (what I thought were) corrupted save files. Ever since I was doing the Survival Guide quest if I got too close to Scrapyard I'd start to get CTDs loading from save files created afterwards. I learned to not go near Scrapyard. Entering Rivet City and exiting from the Marketplace seems to generate save files that can't be loaded without CTD ... but going though the ship and exiting from the other exit doesn't seem to have this problem. For a while, if I traded with Protector Casdin, it would happen too but it doesn't happen any more! (So Casdin might be a different issue.) None of this seems to be mod related -- I've turned off mods and gone back to older saves and the strangeness still happens.

 

But tonight I discovered that, in at least one case, if I go back to the last save that doesn't CDT, when I load it I can then go on to load the following save, and it doesn't crash. And most of the time I can keep loading the next save after that until I get back to the latest save ... but each of those saves crash when I try to load them from scratch!

 

So this is less of a call for tech support than it is a sanity check. What could cause this?

First saved game or latest saved game that loads without CTD? I'm around 1000 hours and 7000 saves on this play-though. :smile:

Due to the content, the file contents, I'll, refrain from posting direct info on what's wrong and respect your privacy.

The load order is not correct, the contents of some of the private files are a mess...were T-snipped together, piece sealed.

Scripts are in conflict on soo many levels that there is way to much work involved in order to repair all the damage I have see so far.

you saved game is (798.30 +07 hours deep, and due to the mess of the underlain codes and scripts that are running in the background, objects are not being found, what is found is in conflict with the scripts results as it runs.

World space detection is way off too.cell loads are 'staggered"

 

The private files are Hands off so I can't do anything for you other than note here the results found.

Do not post your load order here. It will do no good.

 

I can't even derive a patch from this.

I wish you all the luck with your game.

 

Kitty.

And, your not insane..? though your game is rather revealing ! LOL. it's not you, its' the combo of the mods, there is nothing you can do either with that selection of mods anyway.
