Random Not So Random CTD (request insight from smarter people than myself)

[Exoeros]

First off. Is there a program or a log or something I can use to obtain information on what is causing the game to crash at any given point? Like "X tried to load this thing or use this mod and it failed" sort of thing?

-So i'll list my load order below, I use LOOT along with fo4edit and wyrebash in order to optimize whats going on with my mods to the best of my knowledge. I basically use LOOT to order everything up first then I go through with fo4edit and make adjustments to what is overwriting what and finding conflicts or errors. Then I make the compatibility patch. After that I go through and use wyrebash to merge all the level lists. (Maybe this doesn't work I duno, I just follow guides from videos and try to make do with what I understand) So far it works in terms of getting all of the mods to work. I've yet to have a mod not work as far as I know. The CTD could be something i've yet to uncover from a mod but duno how to pin point it.

As for the problem. Basically the game can run ranging from 1 to 7 hours. Some days I never get a CTD but others like today I've gotten several. However after reloading from the save I wont crash while visiting the place I just crashed at, like loading through a door or going to a new area. Instead everything just keeps going along so I've yet to pin point what exactly is causing the CTD.

-If it would CTD continuously in the same way over and over I could go through and check my mods one at a time. Sadly since the crashes are random and don't seem to replicate themselves I don't know how to go about troubleshooting the problem.

-From my observation the best I can guess is its loading something up or in and crashing? And then when I crash and reload and go to the place it loads up a different set of (enemies, weapons, terrain, I duno) which is why i'm not getting the crash after reloading.

Any thoughts on what I should try? :huh:

**Also this is somewhat unrelated to post but is there a reason why in downtown i'm like chugging along sometimes, I googled stuttering and that wasn't it.

Its more like a chugging feeling as it tried to load stuff when i'm moving from area to area.

It shows more when I sprint through places.

I'm running a 980gtx with subtle enb and 60fps through most everything even most of downtown, I understand i'll get lower frames which i'm ok with but what i'm experiencing seems a bit more than that.

The best way I can still describe it is, chugging. Maybe the chugging is it dipping to like 1 fps ect. Either way not sure why that is either.

Load Order in spoiler tab.

Well, I'm far from an expert. But it looks like you have many mod conflicts. Even with patches the potential for random CTDs are still good. You might want to look into other mods to cut down on conflicts. Specifically Better Settlers and similar. :smile:

I had random crashes as well, and it seems that Beautiful Female settlers has an issue, I have since removed it, and the crashes stopped.

Try that.
