Robco Companions Causing Crash?

[searchndestroy]

Hey guys,

 

I've been playing around with mods (primarily Robco) and finding a significant amount of crashing occuring, generally when I have a few robot followers. The crashes especially occur during combat or during a CASM autosave (and occasionally while driving). I'm not 100% sure if Robco is the primary culprit, but I'm fairly sure a problem is arising from an interaction with it and another mod/vanilla Fallout. I have not had the same problem with multiple companions previously (as far as I recall, anyway).

 

I've tried BOSS auto-sorting my list, disabling a few mods to see how much better my game runs (ILO, Robco, RRP, XRE Cars, Invisible Wall Remover, Imp's More Complex Needs) with generally better performance results. I set up a merged patch at the bottom of the list with no real change in performance. I've tried altering my performance and graphical settings in the New Vegas Configator with no results, as well.

 

Do you guys have any ideas on how to prevent or at least reduce the amount of crashes and slowdown that occur with Robco companions on board plus all my other mods?

 

Here's the load order; I can post up my FNVEdit reference information, as well.

The game has the funny ability to not respond when incurring lag. When you say it crashes sometimes when CASM saves this is because the processor drops the process when it makes a call to the program and it doesn't respond within a set amount of time in seconds. This is common. Thank Obsidian/Bethesda for shitty implementation. This problem is less on faster rigs but not completely eliminated.

Get Rid of Better Performance V4 - it's really not well thought out. In a vanilla game, it would be fine, but it actually deletes entries from the object DB; entries that other mods can and do refer to. Which causes crashes.

 

There are better performance mods out there.

 

Edit: Probably NVInteriors_Combo_AWOP should go after AWOP, too...

LOL. Probably should of had a better look, posted so much today my fingers ache XD.

 

BTW ILO Dead money wants to go after ILO NV. Probably you need to run BOSS and sort whatever unrecognized plugins in a logical manner, as in the way BOSS sorted our mods.
