Final vault stopped working today.

So I have been playing for about 3-4 weeks now. I had fun learning the game with a single vault for about a week, then I ran into a bug where the game crashes each time I try to load my Vault. Having many legendary dwellers and weapons, I didn't delete the vault in hopes it would get fixed. I instead rolled a new Vault, then another to combat the monotonous waiting in the beginning. The third vault ran into trouble a week ago, first I started crashing every time I tried to open objectives, then my objective to assign 27 people to right rooms started resetting to 2 every restart, and now that Vault has (apparently invicible) raiders at the door, so nothing recharges anymore. No worries, I thought, I still have my middle Vault, the one I really paid attention to. Well designed and build to 10+ floors now, 6-7 legendary dwellers with maxed SPECIAL stats, Deathclaws getting stopped at the first room after entrance, all solid. And bang - yesterday I started crashing when opening objectives. I kinda knew where this was headed but I kept on hoping, until an hour ago the game crashed when I accidentally clicked objective progress announcement and now the second Vault crashes in identical manner with the first Vault.



Yeah, I could delete the worst vault and restart... but why? For another maybe-a-week-long session that vanishes into the aether with the next inevitable bug.



Having played ESO since before launch I am very aware of the quality "support" Bethesda offers to their customers nowdays. Hell, they are apparently making it a hallmark for all future productions. I wasn't the least bit surprised to get the standard copy/paste response from the support bot, the kind I received nearly a hundred times during my few months with ESO. Writing this to add my 2 cents to the plethora of bug complaints, and to tip my hat to Bethesda - your skill to strike addiction into people with your games is only surpassed by your skill of driving people away from said games. I am glad I resisted the urge early on to buy many lunch boxes - I can live with losing the few bucks I spent. Hope some of it goes towards playtesting Fallout 4, maybe even towards hiring an actual person for tech support this time round.
