Corrupt (?) Savegame upon entering specific map region

[HeyYou]

 

Just a small update for anyone who might run into the same issue and reads this;

I've not modified or tried to fix the bug in any way, though made sure to have a backup of my most recent dozen saves or so, just in case there is corruption that carries over to the others for some odd reason.

I kept on playing as usual, avoiding the area, I came back to it some dozen hours later and it seems to be working fine, though I must say I've played on a new PC in the meantime as well where I checked in on it.

 

tl;dr.:

 

Solution 1:

• If you notice this happening, backup your recent savegames located in Users\(YourUsername)\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 just in case.
• Avoid running into the general area for the forseeable time, I know it could suck if its a settlement or a place you frequently visit, but that's what it is.
• Check back if the game has (I guess overwritten) fixed what ever caused the issue on its own after a dozen hours of playtime.

 

Solution 2: (Not sure if that works and I doubt this will be an applicable fix for anybody but whatever)

• Build a new PC

 

Sometimes, when the game generates the cell, and the various spawns within it, something doesn't go quite right, and the game chokes and dies. If you stay out of the area until the cell resets, and then respawns when you get near, the problem will mysteriously be gone. :)
