nekoceko Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 So, I have about 250 hours on this game (on Steam), and before this I barely had any crashes. This playthrough has been about 60 hours long so far and the game just started crashing 2 days ago. First, it was random and would happen every 10 or so minutes. Didn't matter if I was in an interior or an exterior, if I was on a loading screen or not, it would just crash randomly. I decided to turn off a few mods and suprisingly that worked (even though the mod I disabled was installed for like 40 hours of gameplay and this only started happening 2 hours ago). However, today again, the game started crashing. And this time it's every minute or maybe two if I'm lucky, making the game impossible to play. The mod is still disabled. I only got two mods (including the disabled one), and both of them worked a long time, so I'm pretty sure the mods aren't the problem. But I might be wrong. This is my load order:http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee450/neko_ceko/123_zpsd8030796.jpgI added the "XXX" to the DLC files because they kept getting activated even though they weren't ticked, which was really annoying as I don't want the DLCs in my quest log until I'm ready to play them. And my PC specs:Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.40GHzGPU: Radeon HD 6950 2GBRAM: 8GB Also, someone told me to add "iNumHWThreads=2 and bUseThreadedAI=1" in fallout.ini and fallout_default.ini but that didn't help. If you need any other info let me know. Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me fix this annoying problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 For a start I would rename them back to what they were, to stop them being being loaded find their Nam files and delete them. As for crashing, go to an interior cell and wait/sleep for 4 days, make a fresh save, exit the game, start it up again and load that save, think of it as a cleansing exercise. If that doesn't work try verifying your cache https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 you'll have to delete those Nam files again afterwards because Steam will put them back.

nekoceko Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the reply, For now I stopped getting the crashes even though I didn't do anything to fix them. However, I'm pretty sure I'll get them soon again. I don't think the files I renamed are the problem since they worked just fine for 60+ hours. However, the NAM file thing is useful to know so I'll rename them back now to default anyway. And I'll try the wait/sleep for 4 days thing when the game starts crashing again soon. EDIT: Yep, it started happening again. I verified the cache already, so it happened after I verified it. I'm going to try to wait thing now. I'll tell you how it goes. EDIT2: Oh and another very weird bug that started happening since I verified the cache: I can't level up.. I am level 19 and I just can't level up to 20. I got 26772/26550 XP. And, my followers are bugging out. They don't follow me and don't shoot at enemies. God, this game feels like it's falling apart.

nekoceko Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I think (also hope) it worked. No crashes for now, but I'll see how it goes. edIt: or not :( I just got another crash 5 minutes ago *sigh* Edited February 2, 2013 by nekoceko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven405 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Wow, with that odd thing in your play i think it will be safe for me to say that you really need (i say again) REALLY need to uninstall it and reinstall it again. Basic from my experience that premature state will keep going until no end so if you want to save from more headache i suggest you to reinstalled it again and make a new fresh start. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaranth Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah, it sounds like something's gone badly wrong with your save and/or install. I recommend a nuke'n'rebuild as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekoceko Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 :( Ah well. I would reinstall earlier but I didn't want to redownload the whole game since it's a steam copy. Hopefully, it's just the game and not my save. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybiscuit Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Try the windows live diabler. And I will try to find that topic about reducing to 2 cores. I had to do that on one system and it worked fine and stopped crashes as on a different os I dnt have to so. I will search to find that for you.

Honeybiscuit Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Remember to copy everything before you change so that you are able to replace what was changed. so here is that site http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1328904.html..
