rickcarufel Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Is it just me or does the game seem to get very unstable once you get to a certain point in the story quests? I know Bethesda tries to blame everything on mods But I'm not buying it. I have started 5 new games since I bought it and it seems the games runs fine, mods or not, up to a certain point and then starts becoming unstable with unexpected crashes and glitches.

jjb54 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 One of the things that I noticed, as I played 3 games with out any mods. I was curious as to what was going on? At a certain point, with the Settlements, as you recycle authorized vanilla items to build you settlements, the game starts to go downhill fast. CTD - LOCKS and so on. Again, this is Vanilla game, fresh start zero mods. One of the big areas is Outpost Z. That starts culling BIG TIME and other areas, Starlight - Sanctuary and so on ... start to clip and cull. Bethesda obviously had NO CLUE what they were doing .... with Sim-City meets Fallout. Plus I found, when you start to have Settlers ' move in ' this too starts to have issues with not being able to assign tasks and/or it takes 24 - 28 hours ( in game time ) for it to get assigned. If you are not sure IF it was assigned and try to do it " too many times " ... this too can cause issues .... Bottom Line: Their attempt at Sim-City ruined the games stability because they really had NO CLUE what they were doing ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcarufel Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 I can tell it's not the mods doing it because the crashes happen in the same spots over and over. The Yangtze is really bad. You have to literally save every two steps to get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkruse05 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Probably a bit of both. The base game and engine have plenty of issues that cause crashing. When created and installed well mods usually won't add to that, but there's never a 100% they're not the cause. I would suggest making a separate save with no mods and see if it still slows down or crashes when going through the same areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcarufel Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Did a save with no mods at all and the game still crashes when I try to load a game on the Yangtze seems to get worse and worse the closer to the missile I get. There is also a spot in Cambridge where you can't go without crashing. Basically the game is broken and Bethesda is selling a defective product they have refused to fix for three years. This used to be a common problem when game platforms first came out. Many games were marketed that could be played up to a certain point and couldn't be finished. I had thought we had gotten past that but evidently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I'm not trying to be a P.I.T.A. here, but was that a clean save - restarting, or a save with the mods turned " OFF " only?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayer2k12 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 What about when you guys try the unofficial patch mod? That thing fixes a lot of problems with settlements and settlers and crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js303 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Try using the PhyOp mod to lighten the load on your GPU..it could help. It's basically a low res pack for the game and you can then overwrite whatever textures you want with other HD texture mods. Helps for me at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcarufel Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 I didn't start a new game with no mods. I know a new game will run just fine up to a certain point and then it gets unstable. I turned off all the mods, didn't remove them completely. I have a graphics card with 4 gigs of ram and the mother board has 16 gigs, so there shouldn't be an issue there. I did finally get the Yangtze done only to find out the tactical nukes it has won't take out the airship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have problems with a graphics card @ 8gigs, but I found if I save and reload when my fps drop below 30 it's good for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
