Frustration and exhuastion Resolved Mod Issue

Post » Wed Mar 13, 2013 5:06 am

After an hour of searching I decided to ask for help (which I am not used to doing) This morning I was playing FNV and tried to enter Vault 22 for "There Stands the Grass" I pressed the "a" button on the controller to enter Vault 22 and the game crashed. I got the same with Nellis airforce Base, only I didn't make the gate before it crashed. I check all my mods and uninstalled 2 and it still happens. Any help would be appreciated.

The game does often crash or freeze for me on loading screens, i remember those starting after one of the patches. Though if that happens twice in a row or more on the same door then there's a real problem.

Crashes when approaching an area isn't uncommon either, that goes away after waiting a couple of in-game days unless some mod causes the issue. A corrupted actor spawn can cause that, i remember hearing, so waiting for the game to respawn the actors in the area fixes that up automatically. If that area has worked before with the same mods, it's likely that issue. I've had those since Oblivion.

If it's not caused by those typical issues, it's likely mod conflicts messing with those cells. Run http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35999 and see if it warns of conflicting mods, and see if the mods you use require compatibility patches with any other mods. Also rebuild your patch.

When you examine the patch, check what is getting added to it.

And, turn off the Autosave features, that puts one less operation on a cell load.

I am deeply sorry for the delay in reply. Life and my bipolar cycle got in the way. I did everything you suggested and it put to rest some stuttering I was having but it still crashed at those two places. Then I unintalled the performance patch I had and it worked. So turns out what was meant to be fixing it was making it crash. either way I have another performance mod that works.

Thank you.
