Constant CTD in same spot

Post » Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:20 pm

Im really curious why the game keeps crash everytime i try to enter certain area. I tried everything - from disabling all the mods and loading game with Fallout3.esm only to deleteing my ini files and playing on default ones. This problem occures in certain areas only - the first i noticed were outside on Rivet City when approching the metro station, if i go around tho and avoid the area i can still enter metro. Also i couldnt get outside of Jefferson Memorial because game crashes in that area too.

Im wondering if this has something to do with triggers in that area? Spawns? Or whatever because i have no idea so far. I would be glad if some1 could enlight me about the cause.Once again this is not fault of any mods or my ini settings.

My system spec:

Processor: Intel? Core?2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory: 2046MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

Drivers are up-to-date, I checked.

Propably a spawn point has somehow "corrputed". You must wait for the cell respawn; avoid that are for three in-game days (IIRC) and it should be back to normal. I had a similar issue near Wheaton Armory once, and just avoiding the area for a few days fixed the issue.

I thought so too before and also tried waiting for respawn but it didnt fix it. Because if i go 'around' this certain crash-spot everything is ok and no crashes occure.

I've had similar a assured crash zone in Oblivion, but never in Fallout 3. Never found a solution to it apart from fast traveling over the area that causes crashes :shrug:
