The quest ID for Boston After Dark is: RRM01. The same method for the other PC workarounds allowed me to complete the quest.

Cheers dude, did the workaround you find just complete the quest or skip a step/teleport to location?

Loaded my quicksave when I went to meet the guy in the church, skipped a few parts with the ~console workaround, then fast traveled for the turn in. Had this problem too with the crash figured I would chime in and help. Have no Idea what the quest rewards were but it allowed me to continue the RR storyline.

Thats awesome, thanks for the info! got a few of these quests to do so the help is appreciated

if you know the steps then would be super grateful and put it on first post, havent done many RR quests yet. or a save file right before the part you skipped would be amazing

I'm crashing anytime I get near Sanctuary Hills.

I can't fast travel to the Red Rocket station just below it, but if I fast travel to Concord and walk up to the station it's okay.

It's seems to be when something loads in Sanctuary Hills that causes the crash.

Happened after the "Shadow of Steel" quest unlocked.

I would use an older save, but they're all past this point now. :'(

All my power armor gone.

Wow that svcks, sorry to hear dude. I've seen that bug mentioned here and there tho so you might find some other help. Wish I could be of more help, best of luck

im off to bed now but Ill try and get a few more workarounds done tomorrow

I haven't heard this issue crashing near sanctuary hills. Are you sure it's a specific location crash? Could it be your settings?

It seems everyone else in this thread has an issue near the C.I.T. for the main quest and a bunch of other faction quest lines.

It's something in the area. I can't spawn at Vault 111 either.

When I get kinda close to Sanctuary I see something spawn and then quickly disappear and a few seconds later it crashes.

Hmm maybe its the same issue happening in a different area then.

I've never seen anything spawn and despawn but my crash is also in a metropolitan area so it could be behind any number of buildings.

Thanks for this thread and the workarounds guys. Hopefully this gets fixed asap!

I'm sensing a few rumors about the UFO being connected to this. Has anyone actually been to the UFO crash site? It's just speculation, but if the location is partly random, that might explain why it's sometimes different areas for different people that it crashes.

It might be UFO related. I used noclip to fly around and saw area with green light around it. Looks like it's in the middle of area where my game crashes.

Ugh ... can you see if its possible to remove the UFO from the game, then see if it fixes it?

I've got the exact same problem, but for me the bug started being noticed even before the ''shadow of steel'' quest.

Still not sure if it is the UFO though, and even if, I don't think you could just delete it.

BTW, You don't need console workaround Silver Shroud quest. I managed to kill Northy from nearby bus stop, couldn't go and investigate his body though but as it turns out you can easily ragdoll his corpse with granades to the "safe area".

I'm getting a little frustrated with this now. I mean, I could easily go play another mission while I wait for the patch, but its the knowledge that the bug is there that annoys me.

I mean, I highly doubt that the devs haven't picked up on this yet, in fact I'll bet they even have a fix. But something tells me the powers that be decided to put all of their fixes into one giant bundle rather than roll out each fix as its patched...

Its 2:00PM on Saturday for me and the weekend is only getting shorter, WHERE IS MY PATCH!!??!

I have just been to the UFO site in the playthrough I have posted earlier. No problems with the area.

The spawning of the UFO is not random, there are set triggers which do not render my area unplayable.

Bethesda plz.

Just want to say thanks to everyone for submitted their bugs and their experiences. I just want to point out that this has been one of the most immersive, amazing game experiences I have ever been through. I am having an absolute blast playing. Thank you very much to the entire Bethesda team and to the amazing community.

Now that that is out of the way, onto the crash report.

CRASH REPORT

Crashing on Hunter/Hunted mission (thankfully used a work around) and also Shadow of Steel. Can not advance the quest line. Very frustrated! (But still absolutely loving this game, my god)

Platform: PC

GPU: GeForce GTX 750 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3.2 GHz

Memory: 16GB

Resolution: 1920x1080

Driver version: 358.91

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro

I have fruitlessly tried the following options myself:

• Reinstalled my graphics driver.
• Restored my INI's back to their original states. (Both of them)
• Verified the cache in Steam.
• Reloaded saves as far back as 30 minutes before the quest line began.

Bethesda plz.

Oh. For those of you wondering, the bug is listed in the index. They are, however, not linking to this thread.

I'm having similar issues. Every time I approach the area south/southwest of Sanctuary Hills just past the fuel station I get a CTD. I've tried everything, from reinstalling the game to downgrading my drivers. Nothing seems to work.
Funny thing is, this error (certain random areas giving CTD) is not new to me. It also occurred in New Vegas and Skyrim but only after installing a load of mods that messes up with scripts and game assets. On the other hand Fallout 4 is 100% vanilla.

Didn't worked for me.

What did not work for you? The link provided goes to the bug index.

Is the link broken for you?

Hi guys,

Posted earlier that i also had this issue.

Went ahead and made a new game, and it works for me now.

Have been able to do the quests that bugged for me in the earlier playthrough.

Cant tell if it works because of an all new "save" or because i made different decisons/quest/or same just in a different order.

Since we havent heard from the devs nor the support, im guessing this is a needle in a haystack problem and will take a longer time to fix.

So perhaps u should consider starting a new game also.

I'm not so sure its a script error. One thing I'm noticing when approaching the river, is that there is an awful of things going on. At least 2 vertibirds shooting at super mutants, a camp in a half dome thing with people inside (what im trying to get too), mirelurks in the river, and all the scenery.

No, if they can fix the cause of the problem, they should bw able fix our save file as well. It will only happen again... eventually.

Hi guys

I'm playing on ps4 and have same issue. Game crash when I try to go east of Cambridge Police Station or west of BADTFL Regional Office. Not sure if it occur near C.I.T region because I'm reinstaling the game but I give it a try.

I did't start main quest in Diamont City, founded Alien Blaster, finished Hunter/Hunted quest with no problems, finished Silver Shroud and Boston after dark.

Started next quest for railroad and I tried to go east of Cambridge Police Station and game start to crash. It happen no matter with way I try to get close to that sector game says "not today".

I'm really hoping it's just a bug Bethesda will work off in patch and I can continue my game without restarting the game.

It's really annoying I'm past level 30 right now and haven't find any others major problems. Game is extremly fun so far. (Except minor issues in lore compared to "original" Fallouts)

I've forked this discussion to: http://f orums.gamesas.co m/topic/1551260-reporting-on-area-crash/

In order to help provide gamesas with more data to debug.

Im having the issue to and I don't like the idea of cheating pat the quest stuff as fixes. This is a game breaking glitch and needs to be resolved ASAP. Has Bethesda said anything acknowledging this bug
