That's the Log at the moment of the crash.

That is a stack overflow exception. GOOGLE the exception code for solutions. But I would go to the official Microsoft site to search for a solution.

[Surtr564]

No one has an answer how to fix that exception other than "buy this" or "download that".

 

I caved. I bought a "fixer", that also has all those other bells and whistles, I ran it. It dected the exception.
It added the option to fix it.

So I did.

I open up the game, load the save, open the door to the Vikki and Vance, it loads. I am pleased.

Then I run my litmus test, entering Lt Hayes' tent.

You can probably guess where I am going.

It crashed.

I run the fixer again, and who do I see there but my good old friend Fallout NV.

 

So I go to Steam to revalidate the files. It tells me I have 19 files that are less than kosher. Wait for the download, patch it with the 4gb patch. Run it again.

Crash trying to enter the tent.

Fix it again.

Crash again.

My solution might be something as stupid as that I need to fix it and then restart my pc, I don't know.

And I really start to wonder if it's worth it at this point...

[Surtr564]

I've read about something called ENB Boost.

Would that help at this point?

[dubiousintent]

You are now seeing multiple errors (still including those "Windows Exception code: 0xc0000005" errors), but now they are not immediately stopping the process and you are getting the additional info:

 

18174530 e 0047CF1E C0000005 FalloutNV.exe

18174530 _ LEVELED_ LIST_ERR

Repeated 6 times.

That suggests to me you have a mod which is improperly handling "leveled lists", eventually leading to the crash. Please see the 'Mod Conflict Isolation' section of the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" article.

ENBoost simply allocates some of your 8GB of "system RAM" for the use of the "graphics system memory" to reduce stutter. Think of is as a "supplement" to the Graphics VRAM; slower than VRAM but faster than the hard drive. It isn't going to hurt the game to use It, but it's not going to help with CTDs or "hangs".

Good News is, I got rid of the Leveled List errors, I made a Patch Plugin with FNVEdit and manually resolved every conflict in a manner I figured would be the most optimal.

Bad news is, it's still giving me that same 0xc0000005 error and the crash is still that 0xc0000409.

Does using the BSA Decompressor help in any way?

[dubiousintent]

The BSA files are not the source of your CTD problem (because they work fine for everyone else). Unpacking them is not going to do your crash problem any good.

 

The "level list" fixes is all to the good and will improve your game. But both those remaining "hex code" errors are "Windows system exceptions". (The "005" is "attempting to access invalid memory" and the "409" is a "stack overflow", which are typical of "corrupted memory" due to another program managing to write where it isn't supposed to. Which is something the DEP/WDEG settings are intended to prevent by default.) As I mentioned in my first reply, those exceptions tend to report the "victim" of the problem (i.e. "Fallout.exe") rather than the cause. This makes them very frustrating to resolve, but the game itself is not likely the culprit now.

 

How are you coming on clearing up any other "errors" in your Windows Eventlog? One or more of those are potential sources of corrupting memory.

 

-Dubious-

[Surtr564]

Did a repair of Windows, ran the DISM RestoreHealth, ran sfc/scannow, have "fixed" the error with Advanced System Repair Pro at least a dozen times...

...and the bastard keeps crashing.

All I can think now is either making a clean install, uninstalling the game from steam, deleting the folders in Steam and My Documents, and trying again.

And if this happens again, well, just put the goddamned game in the thresher and forget I spent weeks trying to make it work.

At least I learned a lot about how to fix a lot of other issues on my pc...I guess.

[Surtr564]

Ah, hadn't seen your reply.

I've been checking the event log around the time of the crash and any error I see I search to look for a fix.

Then I restart the laptop, try again, crash again, see the event log, see the same error glaring at me.

And a lot of errors linked to the fact that the freeware AV I have running as a first line of defense is deactivated and keeps trying to turn on.

 

I think I'll uninstall it.
