I'm getting a rare CTD involving only Feral Ghouls.

Like the title says: I'm getting a rare but infuriating CTD when fighting Feral Ghouls. More specifically, it's the act of shooting a Ghoul that causes the CTD. I'm not sure if it's because of limb dismemberment or one of my many mods. It happens very rarely but also at the most inopportune moments. However, I was able to narrow down where the CTD's begin to start:

  • Only when I am at a very high level i.e. level 90+.
  • Only with the max rank Ghoulish perk.
  • Most common when fighting against the higher level Feral Ghouls like the Charred and Bloated Glowing Ones.
  • Somewhat common in cells where Ghouls are marked as Legendary but do not have a Legendary weapon on them.
  • It occurs regardless of the number of Ghouls existing in a cell. It can occur in the Nuka World Power Plant (normal amount) or in the Death Tunnel mod (Initiate Clarke's nightmare).
  • It occurs more often in interior cells than in outdoor cells.
  • I never had any CTD's of this type when fighting against any other type of enemy.

I like to think my computer is pretty beefy so I don't think the problem is with my computer. Here are the specs for those interested:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 4790
  • RAM: 20.GB DDR3
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060
  • Desktop Storage: Samsung SSD 860

Any help is appreciated.

Do you have any mods that specifically affect ferals??

 

None, actually. If adding Feral Ghouls count, then it would be the Death Tunnel mod. But that's all it does: add a massive metro system with an absurd amount of Feral Ghouls in it.

That's odd.... anything change their textures, or skeletons?

 

Not that I know of. I did more troubleshooting with this bug and I found that it's more of a game problem than a Ghoul problem. I use the Weapons of Fate Ballistics Overhaul and that may be part of the problem. If I lay on the trigger with a fast firing automatic weapon, it has a high chance of causing a CTD regardless of the enemy I'm shooting at. I also use a Legendary Modification mod that adds the Bulletstorm effect (x5 projectiles). Basically, when I fire on something with a Gatling Laser that has Bulletstorm, it has a very high chance for a CTD if I fire it for too long.

 

I'll be doing more CTD troubleshooting but here's what I've found:

  • With Weapons of Fate, bullets are actual projectiles and not hitscan, meaning they probably add to the object limit.
  • Firing many projectiles at an enemy, especially with minigun-type weapons, has a high chance for CTD.
  • Dismembering many enemies at once with an explosive while firing an automatic weapon has a high chance for CTD.
  • Dismembering many enemies at once while not firing a weapon has little to no chance for CTD.
