SMDmcmuffin3 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can't load my saved game now . I figure it's this "memory leak" or something that everyone is talking about but I started a new game and I haven't crashed yet . So I know that that save is corrupted in some way . But what I want to know is if and how I can fix it cause I got pretty far and that game and I'm pretty bummy that I have to start over =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 if you have only 1 save -- time to learn to keep many many many more saves if you are using quick or auto saves -- time to learn not to - they are known to fail - heck some people think they were designed to fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they don't load at startup, but loading to a hard Save and then loading the quicksave works every time for me. I quit worrying about why the first save doesn't always load, 'cause it might be Steam or something, and I've had no luck in finding an answer to fixing this.

I saved right before clicking the vault 3 exit control panel and not only does the game crash upon exiting, but no saves will load unless they're before entering the Maintenance area. I don't what to do,now. I mean, unless I use the console to blow through the "deliver drugs to Motor-runner" quest, and then again when I return to save the NCR soldier/kill MR, I seem to be out of luck.

rgx02 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Always use the mod CASM. It will save automatically for you. About your problem, are you using mods? See if there isnt one breaking your game.Have you changed load order ou deactivate any mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a CTD when exiting Vault 3, I am unable to load any saves that are after entering the Maint. Area. I'm still trying to find out what happened, as my G-500 mouse, or rather the Set-Point app. has gone blooey, just as this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if there isnt one breaking your game.Have you changed load order ou deactivate any mod? Thanks for responding. I don't do anything to change the load orders. In fact, I installed BOSS just to make sure that the load orders don't get changed, nor did I origninally deactivate any mods. I did try to load with alll of the mods deactivated, and I still was unable to load. Plus, updated SetPoint, and now the mouse works ok, but the game is still broken. And this happens to me after I had one of the more experienced modders here install NMM and the mods for me! And I still managed to break my game, somehow, without doing anything, except playing. I give up; mods and me are not to be. I should 'fess up here, because I've gone ahead and re-started the game, mods and all. I think that I corrupted the game by console cheating too many player.modav's. I'm such a spaz that I really need to cheat even to make it through anything other than mole rats. I'm pretty sure this is most of my problem. I've been told that, rather than altering my character's skills/attibutes, I should either give myself more powerful weapons/armor to start out with, or use mods that do the same thing. I'll try it playing straight-up for now. hehe. Edited February 14, 2012 by trog69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
