Game crashing /clean install of Win10 and FO4, no mods/

[tomsoncz]

Hi everybody,

 

please help to end my suffering. I've been waiting for a long time to install FO4 and enjoy it with all DLC's and all patches so I bought and installed GOTY on Steam. I downloaded Vortex and installed just CBBE and TruBy9 to fix resolution (I have 3440x1440). I started new game and it always crashed at the beginning when I was running from home to Vault 111 just between these two zones where the little bridge is (I guess it's edge of the cell). After few hours of looking for a solution I end up with reinstalling my computer and downloading FO4 again.

 

So here we are

• Clean original Windows 10 Pro 64bit (build 1903)
• latest Nvidia driver 430.86
• clean Steam
• fresh Fallout 4 GOTY installation

 

I started a new game with no mods (everything set on Ultra with 1920x1200 in window mode but it seems its broken no matter what settings)

enjoyed beginning for the tenth time in last three days and I got to Vault 111. I grabbed suit and was heading to cryopods - CRASH.

 

It's always like frame drop to 0 fps, then 1sec of recovery and then CTD with no message. If anyone had idea what may have cause this I would be forever thankful.

 

My specs are:

• Intel Core i7 8700K + Corsair H115i Pro
• NVIDIA Titan V 12GB HBM2
• Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3200MHz 16 GB
• ASUS MAXIMUS XI GENE Z390
• Samsung 970 PRO 512 GB
• Samsung 850 PRO 512 GB
• Corsair RM850i
• Windows 10 Pro 64bit (1903)

 

Thank you

I found out that HW load is not a problem

 

• CPU 20-30% load
• RAM 40% load
• GPU 20-50% load

Windows Event Viewer shows 2 reports after crash - both LiveKernelEvent

 

I tried to disable anti-aliasing and ambient occlusion with no success. Game is still crashing after a few minutes on random places.

The point you mentioned, the one right after leaving the vault, is indeed a lag/crash point.

 

So, what do you look at in event viewer? You should look under windows protocols/system/application to get a more detailed report.

 

I suspect that Bethesda sneaked something in with one of their last updates to make the game virtually unplayable for quite a number of people. I used to run a heavily modded and stable game for the last three years, but as of last fall I kept crashing and crashing. Uninstalled, reinstalled numerous times to no avail. What solved it for me was underclocking my GPU by a few notches. So where I crashed before, I still got a lag that also shows in msi afterburner with dropping GPU frequencies, but it recovers after a few seconds and I can go on playing without carshing.

 

But it all depends on what it says in your event viewer apart from it being a kernel error. That's only the surface your scratching.

Actually that's it... Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Aplications

I remember in early days of FO4 there was similar problem when new build of Windows came out and lot of people couldn't even get to main menu. I tried to look for date when last patch came out and April 3, 2018 doesn't sound much recent. So I suppose this might be our problem.

You have to go to "windows logs/system/application". Not to "windows logs/application".

I started new game and it always crashed at the beginning when I was running from home to Vault 111 just between these two zones where the little bridge is (I guess it's edge of the cell).

I had the exact same issue with game version 1.10.130 and new 1.10.138 as well. Didn't matter if mods were installed or it was a clean install.

 

I solved the crash by changing Weapon Debris setting to 'off' in the launcher, it is 100% reproducable for me. No crash so far with mods, played until after leaving Vault 111.
