Another CTD post. Intermittent CTC

[nxsilva]

Hi, I'm hoping to get some ideas without getting do deep in the technical stuff.

 

Basically, I'm experiencing random CTD's. Early in the game, it's not an issue at all. But as I move up in levels, it becomes more and more frequent - seems cumulative in nature. Usually, I'll get my first CTD around level 12-ish. By level 20-ish, the CTD's are frequent enough to make the game unplayable.

 

Yes, I've dumped all my saves. No change.

I've disabled a bunch of mods. No change.

 

About the only rhyme or reason I can see is it tends to happen as I approach settlements. But not always. It can also happen as I enter buildings, etc. Last game, it wouldn't allow me to enter the furnace room to complete the quest "Out of the fire" - would crash every time I tried to enter.

 

It also seems worse if I have a companion with me - especially Preston. SEEMS, at least.

 

I've been running Jane Bod for a long time without problems. But I also run a lot of CBBE outfits that I've converted to JB. But I've turned all that stuff off and still get CTD's.

 

What I'm looking for here, is just some direction. Hoping somebody has some other ideas besides playing musical mods to find the "culprit" (been there; done that). I was also hoping if there was some sort of "crash report" file I can open and read - or have somebody else decipher for me.

 

Thanks in advance,

Nick.

Hi nxsilva,

 

How can we help you if you are not letting us know what mods do you have and what is your load order? What is your rig? Did you use LOOT to sort your order ? Did you clean the fallout 4 DLC's via FO4edit ?

[nxsilva]

Thanks for the reply sopmac45. I get CTD's with ALL my plugins disabled. So I'm thinking my plugins' load order is not much of an issue. I'd show you my load order, but I don't know how to copy it. If I try to highlight the load order, it thinks I'm trying to drag a mod to a new load location. So I'm lost on how to copy/paste a load order. It had been a while since I tried disabling all plugins, so this morning I tried it again and gave it a try - and I still get CTD's. I was in Hangman's Alley clearing out some raiders and it crashed 4 times. I did manage to get through it and get out of H.A. and it hasn't crashed since. It tends to crash mostly at settlements.

 

While playing this morning with no plugins active, I also noticed a couple oddities: First, it wouldn't let me loot the leather armor off one of the dead raiders at H.A. It would make the muffled sound effect, like I was looting, but didn't actually take the item. I also notice that my player was wearing a leather chest piece, when it's not showing one available in the pipboy. I was wearing a chest piece when I turned off all the plugins. So I'm thinking it's just not showing up in the pipboy. I don't know if any of that's any help.

 

I do have a lot of outfits I converted via Outfit Studio - that's the only thing not vanilla about the game right now. For instance, the Explorer Outfit is now a combination of zzjay's Slayer Outfit and DX's Commonwealth Shorts' collection. The Raider Armor has been converted to a DA's Swimsuit outfit - so it bears no resemblance to the vanilla Raider Armor whatsoever - that sort of thing. I have most outfits converted this way. Currently, this is the only thing not vanilla in the game, and I'm still getting CTD's.

 

That's why in my original post I was just kind of asking a generic question: If some sort of crash report exists that can be deciphered.

 

You asked: "Did you clean the fallout 4 DLC's via FO4edit ?" I dont' know what that means, so I guess not. I'm not running any DLC's like Nukaworld or the like - if that's any help. And I have no idea what FO4edit is. I have never heard of LOOT to sort a load order either. I don't know what LOOT is.

 

Thanks for replying. I do appreciate it. I know it's a long shot, but any insight would be helpful.

 

Thanks again,

Nick.

to copy your load order, start Nexus Mod Manager and select the plugin tab.

on the left of the screen is your load order.

to the left of that are several icons/buttons.

the one at the bottom is IMPORT Load Order, and above that is the button you want, which is EXPORT Load Order.

when you click on it, select as text document and choose an easily remembered place to save it.

open that text document and you can select all and copy paste it into a post/reply.

 

when posting a load order it is best to put it in spoiler tags, especially if it is the first post of the thread.

to use spoiler tags write them like this

[spoiler]copied and pasted load order[/spoiler]

you will find this guide useful for learning the basics of LOOT, FO4Edit and Wrye Bash, which is the basics of modding and getting mods to work nicely

Thanks for the reply sopmac45. I get CTD's with ALL my plugins disabled.

 

What about loose files, such as scripts, textures and meshes?

[MightyZ0G]

what mod are the rfortaleza esps from and are they all meant to be active?

[Arneercool]

It is an armor mod, and is very functional and probably not were the issue lies. I use it myself.

[nxsilva]

Yes, all of fortaleza can be active. They're just different armor designs. Suitdreams is the armor mod that was meant to have only one active.

 

But either way, I get CTD's with all mods off, so . . .

But you have loose assets in your data\... folders that the game will still use, and are likely causing your CTDs.
