Crimsonhawk87 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) So, as the name applies, I keeping getting CTDs anytime that I attempt to save the game...whether it be via quicksave or save from the menu and even autosave is affected. This has just started in the last few days, and while I have updated a few mods, I don't believe that I have added anything new within that time frame. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a possible fix and/or workaround. Edit: It seems I can save withing a settlement, but not outside in a world space. This has me perplexed. Edited April 22, 2016 by Crimsonhawk87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonhawk87 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Still waiting on some help with this issue. There is no rhyme or reason (that I can see) for CTD when saving, but it continues to persist, even when changing to different characters. It seemed to clear up for awhile then, poof, there it is again, anytime I try to save, whether it be autosave, manual save, or quicksave....CTD. I lost about 6 hours worth of settlement building last night and about 45 mins this morning. Any ideas about this would be much appreciated.

Crimsonhawk87 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 So, Am I the ONLY player in the history of FO4 to have this issue? It continues to this day, and I have found nothing on google, reddit, Beth forums, or Nexus to even hint at what may be causing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Royhr Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 On Fallout wiki it gave this info on how to do a save from the console. You could maybe give it a shot and see if that works... SaveGame <filename> or save <filename> – Creates a save file with the given name. Also have you gone into steam and validated your game files just to make sure all is well with the game?

Have not tried the console method of saving, will do so and see if that helps. Again, thx for the timely reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonhawk87 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Alas, the console save method caused a CTD as well. It seems like something is conflicting with the save mechanism at certain points in the game. I can switch characters, play for a few hours, then it starts with that character. I've tried 3 new games and the saves tend to start going wonky around the Concord area, sometimes in the outside area of Concord, sometimes in the Museum. On another character it's around vault 81 area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royhr Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Wow that is weird..... Wish I could suggest something else but I'm at a loss myself. If it were me I'd consider uninstalling FO4, deleting all of the ini files and reinstalling. Then from a clean vanilla game see if I still had the issue.

reconphil Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I am having the same problem. I am playing on Survival and I have a modded game. Suddenly I can't save. I have a Cigarette mod whereby I smoke and it saves the game. It now CTDs. I uninstalled the mod but when I go to sleep in a bed to save, it CTDs. Sometimes I can get it to save but it is very random. I am thinking a firing script may be interfering with the save...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones177 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi Start a new game. If you can save with the new character it is either a resource issue or a corrupted save. Also try to load an earlier save. If you can save indoors it is definitely a resource issue. Any time you have a problem with this game or any game that uses this engine you to need to find out if the problem is in your save or in your game. So test with another character save before you trash your game. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
