Frequent Random CTD

Hello,

 

I've been experiencing some pretty annoying CTDs. They're completely random and they happen very frequently. I think they have to do with my nvidia driver if I'm reading the crash report correctly.

I've already tried updating and reinstalling the driver and that didn't help. If I need to rollback the driver, what version should I rollback to?

Random crashes to desktop without any obvious reason have been an issue with Fallout 4 since its launch back in 2015. I've been playing the game since its release on (meanwhile) four different video cards (MSI R7970 Lightning; MSI RX470 GamingX 8GB; Gigabyte Vega64 OC and now an AsRock RX 6800XT and the CTDs never went away, although recently, they're more driver related than stemming from issues with the game or mods I use.

 

To avoid crashes, make sure there aren't too many third-party apps or programs randomly booting in the background; that your anti-virus program doesn't interfere with the game and that your RAM and GPU are capable enough to run the game, either as is (vanilla) or with a truckload of mods.

 

Keep in mind that FO4 still has spikes of over 12GB system RAM use and can in some cases (and in some areas) use more than 12GB of GPU RAM. It all depends on how many and what mods you're loading.

 

As with most Bethesda games, the golden rule is to save the game as much as possible.
