fast travel ctd after visiting lynn woods

[CasperTheLich]

i've got a lot of hours into this character, can't recall how many, but have completed the main questline, far harbor, and she's level 119.

so everything is fine, till i head to lynn woods, and now whenever i try to fast travel i get a ctd, doesn't matter where i fast travel from or to (as far as i can tell) ctd during loading screen. i've gone back to earlier saves and they work fine, till i head to lynn woods again.

the 3 times i've tried playing through this, i returned the egg in the quest devil's due, then cleared the initial raiders from the little village, then ran up the tower, flipped the switch, and helped 2-3 deathclaws kill the second wave of raiders, then i shot the deathclaws too.

 

i plan to do a bit more testing to see if i can narrow the cause of this issue to a specific act or trigger.

 

---edit

it seems the ctds aren't tied to the location specifically, as i seem to be able to fast travel to, around and from lynn woods if i don't do anything.

 

---edit again

so , i've tried just returning the deathclaw egg... seems to work fine, i've also ignored returning the egg and just killed and looted the initial wave of 3 raiders that show up in that little town... that doesn't seem to be an issue. and i've bypassed the village and went right into the tower and set off the alarm and after killing the deathclaws and raiders without looting anything... still works fine.

 

however, when i cleared the town, entered the tower, set off the alarm, killed everything, shut off the alarm then looted everything... then the fast travel ctd creeps in there. right now my guess is that looting something is what causes this issue, either a specific item, or searching a specific creature.

 

---edit yet again

so, a lot of testing... and, i can't even be certain this actually has anything to do with lynn woods at all. it looks like this is tied to several locations that i was just unlucky enough to fast travel to while testing. areas such as... the slog, a few of those farms, sanctuary hills, the boat house. i don't even know where to go from this point. *sigh*

 

---another edit

i'm about to reach the hair pulling level of frustration right now. so, i've managed to find a location i can fast travel too without incident, and now the areas that seemed to initially cause a ctd seem to be fast travelable again... for the moment.

 

so, gift horse and all... i'm going back to playing the game, instead of beta testing it.
