Fallout 4 crash in specific area

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 5:27 am

The quests I have that are similar in my corrupted save are;

  • Reunions (completed)

  • Getting a clue (completed)

  • Trade craft(active)

  • Dangerous Minds (active)

I reaaaaly shoud've put the game into windowed mode whilst doing that :/

I'd love to help but I'm not that far yet bud, you can use coc nameExt to get somewhere example: coc sancturaryExt Sometimes it's hard to find the code though

to get a location to teleport to in a quest use player.sqt This'll show you all your active quests, it can be a pain to go through them unfortunately

On the console screen, it'll have a reference and a load door key. you can use player.moveto thecode example: player.moveto 000F492Fe thats a made up code

if the objective is outside then you might need to complete the objective instead, you can use player.sqs questId (the quest id is in player.sqt, current quest: IDHERE)

That'll show all the steps of the quest you have to do, you can then use player.setstage QUESTID STAGEID to complete that stage, might take a few tries to complete the correct stage

Hopefully that makes sense and can help you, if you do find a workaround we'd love to hear it!

Quartermastery quest from Haylen will sometimes make you go to Monsignor Plaza for the Flux sensor, use: player.setstage bosr02 40

That will allow you to turn in the quest and remove it from your Pipboy. This is a repeatable quest so unsure whether or not bosr02 is the static quest ID, so you may have to try others.

when i open console and type player.sqt it only shows me one seemingly random quest location. It's not "all" of them?

edit: i see, pageup/down to scroll. looking now.

edit2: ok for quest "Nuclear Option" you can use player.moveto 0017E1C9 to warp you to the keypad and further the quest.

thanks so much for the help... bummer that the leadup to this has to be skipped, it looked interesting... :(

Thanks man! That's really helpful, updated first post.

If you have a save just before completing that quest and used player.moveto 0009B1E8

does it take you to the Morsignor Plaza building? It won't take you to the door as I'm not sure how the naming convenction is for spaces with coc

If you've already done it then it doesn't matter, the solution will let people turn it in, doesn't sound that interestling of a quest anyway :P

Its fine dude and svcks you had to do that to continue, I know the feeling. Appreciate you getting back though, should help some people out :)

Do you mind if I ask what you skip and what happens just before you had to use that command? It'll allow me to add some contect to the first post. If it's a spoiler then you can use the Special BB Code button in the editor for a spoiler tag

Thanks again!

I think I might of found the solution to fix this. After playing for 10 hours I went near CIT Ruins area and experienced crashes and couldnt do a quest. So just like other people suggested I created a new character and in that save i made the same choices and completed the same quests as in my corrupted save. In my new save I received a quest by Minute Men that I never received in my corrupted save. In my new save I received the quest "Taking Point: Starlight Drive in". In my corrupted save I never had that quest and instead was given out the "Raider Troubles at Oberland Station". In my new save, this quest (Raider Troubles at Oberland Station) is being given out after the Taking Point quest. I went to CIT Ruins after completing both quests and it still doesnt crash.

Please for those people that have the crash. Load your corrupted save. Do you have the "Taking Point: Starlight Drive in" quest completed?

hey guys, came home a bit early. found a 7.5 hour save that doesn't crash, the next save is at around 9.5 hours in and it does crash. i didnt feel like transcribing all the quest/location data so i just took screenshots. http://imgur.com/a/XZwie first four images are quests and locations from non crashing save, next four from crashing save, and just for kicks a picture of right before i enter the crash area, coming straight from cambridge police station.

edit: just realised i didnt take a pic of the misc. quests from crash version. ill go do that now.

here it is: http://imgur.com/VQOAU4N

2nd edit: using these pics, later tonight i will try to repeat my steps best i can and check back in on the crash area to see if i can replicate whatever caused it for me.

On the quest Nuclear Option you skip the following portion:

Spoiler
Travel to the river in Cambridge, east of Greentech Genetics. It is recommended to wear a Hazmat Suit or Power Armor here to negate the radtiation of the river. Dive into the water and swim to the Public Works Maintenance area. Once there activate the keypad.

This warp will put you at the keypad. Do not zone out (that's back to cambridge = crash). Go forward by going down into the sewer.

for quest "Nuclear Option" you can use player.moveto 0017E1C9 to warp you to the keypad and further the quest.

The good news is after finishing this part of the game cambridge actually works again without crashing (the area gets changed).

I did not get that quest. The minutemen quests are random to the point that you'll sometimes get duplicate quests, or get them in random order.

The crash around CIT fixes if you get through nuclear option, so i'm unsure it has anything to do with minutemen... you do cancel / not-complete a few other quests when choosing minutemen nuclear, so it could be those. I definitely can trace it to forwarding silver shroud to cambridge. No crashing in a game where i didn't have starlight, until i forwarded silver shroud.

the only other hunch i have is that i never forwarded the brotherhood which is also at cambridge. that line got cancelled after nuclear, so maybe that was the issue.

Im sorry I dont think its the quests. I have a save with 1 and a half hour in. I only finished 2 main quests and when I go to that area it still crashes.

@frott

Just to confirm.

The quest is called nuclear option? So now you can walk around the cambridge area without crashing even though you had the crashes before?

Please no further details on the quest itself though. I havent played it yet but I can sense it contains lots of spoilers :D

Cheers for all the work you've put in dude, hopefully somebody can make sense out of it!

Spoiler
With a name like 'Nuclear Option' I can probably guess what changes the area hahaha.

Thanks again for the help dude, I've linked both your posts.

I haven't started BoS questline (im sooo far behind here hahaa) yet so i can't help and my TeS5 edit is playing up. I can give you some intructions tho

save before just in case

1.) open console

2.) write player.sqt

a bunch of text will show (you're looking for a quest id, it'll look like current Quest: QUESTID example current Quest: BOSR02

4.) you're looking for a quest ID start stars with BOSR

5.) once you find that ID, write player.setstage QUESTID 40

This should work, if it does then giving the QuestID here would help. The ID might even be BOSR02 as it's a repeatable quest and it just changes what you look for, thats just a guess tho.

yeah so i played an hour or two on my old uncorrupted save tonight. pretty sure i did most of the stuff i had done between the uncorrupted save and the next corrupted one. i don't think it is a quest that triggers it. lost about 12 levels and 19 hours of playtime going back to the old save but if it doesnt get [censored] again then i guess it will be worth it... probably should have just gone to an old save right away instead of using workarounds and continuing the bad save but at the time i figured bethesda might actually make an effort to patch things quickly...

i also make a new save about every 15 minutes now out of paranoia, it already takes a second or two for my save list to load, haha.

Hey everyone. So i've been lurking on this thread since yesterday and I thought i'd chime in my issues.

My specs are pretty low. Core i5 2500 @ 3.30GHz, Geforce GTX 560 1GB, 8GB RAM so I braced myself for problems when installing the game on the day of release. I understand that my GTX560 1GB doesn't meet the minimum specs.

The game set itself on medium settings and then I played about 4 hours without any problems. The next day I played around 8 hours without any problems. At that time I was lvl 7, but I hadn't done a lot of quests, mostly been exploring on my own. The game played beautifully, no hiccups, framedrops, crashes, bugs,...

I didn't play for 2 days after that, I believe in those days the beta patch came out. (I checked and I have the 1.1.30 version atm)

Then yesterday I wanted to play a couple of hours. I loaded my last saved game, I was at the corvega assembly plant atm and the crashes started occuring almost immediatley on random places and times. Sometimes I can play for 20 minutes straight and then it crashes. Sometimes it crashes after 10 seconds of play.

In that saved game I've never even come close to the places you guys mention, and I don't have any of those quests completed or even started.

I tried loading my very first saved game, about 1 hour of playtime right before you leave the vault. It crashed after 5 minutes while talking to Codsworth.

Hope this helps the search a bit or that bethesda will act quickly cause this is very frustrating. I was about to go buy a new graphic card but I'm afraid it won't matter.

edit: I reinstalled the game, made sure the saved game folder was empty and started a new game. The first crash occured right after the bombs fell when you leave the house. I turned my settings to low and tried again. The second crash occured when I entered the vault and the loading screen came up.

This could be an NPC issue related to level scaling. Most of the time in new games it seems when entering that area everything is fine, also the quest combinations between cases are inconsistent. However, level scaling might be the issue is certain NPCs either appear or have different equipment, some of which might be causing problems. Another theory is certain quests only become available at a certain level. I'll try loading a working save and comparing the area when at different levels.

EDIT:

OK, that theory didn't work.

For Boston After Dark

Most everything is outside and running around Cambridge, so you have to complete certain steps via console:

first to complete the dead drop: player.setstage RRM01 200

next to follow high rise: player.setstage RRM01 600

next to talk to high rise: player.setstage RRM01 700

The rest should be doable.

I seem to be one of the very few people that didn't go with the BOS in the first run-through.

Decided to help the railroad. Just completed Precipice of War after clearing out the Cambridge Police Station. You then start Rocket's Red Glare and have to take the vertibird up to the airship. On the ride over it crashes at the exact same location every time. Immediately after Deacon says something along the lines of "Glory would have wanted us to go in guns blazing, but let's try finesse." Every time, IMMEDIATELY after he says finesse I get a CTD. I have tried loading up before I completed Precipice of War and simply walking over to the area in question, but I'm still getting crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Though, I understand it'll probably be longer for me than those running with the BOS. xD

Sad to see the entire Cambridge area is a problem for most people.

i didn't join BOS either. I'm thinking that there's something between not pushing BOS far enough and cambridge being screwed up
