[SPOILERS] Game-breaking bug - Crashes during main quest

Post » Thu Nov 26, 2015 8:08 pm

Error code CE-34878-0

I had trouble with the Shadows of Steel quest - about 30 seconds into the vertibird flight, the game crashes. Tried multiple times but it crashes every time.

I thought I'd just leave that side quest alone for a while and move on with the main mission, but I get to the Hunter/Hunted quest, tracking the courser, and my game crashes halfway through searching for him via radio frequency.

Both crashes happened as I tried to head east of the CIT Ruins, so I'm assuming it's a problem with entering the area.

Anybody else have this problem? I'm reinstalling to see if that fixes it, but I'm just wondering if it's something that actually needs to be patched.

UPDATE: Reinstall didn't fix. Still need assistance.

I've got the precise same issue. In a way I am relieved as I thought it was just me.

Do you think we may see a patch anytime soon?

This bug also messes up the railroad quest 'Boston After Dark' when you escort High Rise in the same region.

Pretty frustrating. Hope a fix comes soon.

It'd be insane to think that we won't. I'm seeing more and more people run into this bug. My friend hadn't but he had barely progressed through the main storyline yet, so I think a lot of people are going to be stopped from completing the main storyline which would warrant a fast patch.

I have exactly the same issue as you guys. 3 main story quests are screwed for me and I can't finish them. The one where you fly in the vertibird, the one where you search for the synth couser and the one where you escort the synth guy. The game suddenly crashes when I'm around the C.I.T area and I get the infamous ce-34878-0 error.

BETHESDA PLEASE DO SOMETHING! I paid $60 for a 2015 AAA game. This is unacceptable.

I think it is also worth mentioning that the game has HORRIBLE frame drops during heavy combat. Pete Hines said that "fallout 4 runs at solid 30fps on PS4".

Solid 30fps my ass. It drops below 20fps when you fight more than 5 enemies and it's worse if they throw grenades or molotovs at you. The only smooth solid 30fps you will get is in the wasteland if there are no enemies around.

I really love this game but seriously, it's a mess on PS4 (don't know about Xbox One). It could have really been GOTY without all these bugs, crashes and fps drops. they should release a patch as soon as possible to keep their customers happy.

I only had frame rate issues once or twice but your right, when there is alot of enemies are super mutants/synths charging you all at once it almost freezes... this reminds me of how bad New Vegas ran on the PS3 when too many things happened at once...I' m really really dissapointed.... the HYPE train derailed into barrels of the F.E.V virus.

Having the same issues in the same area and same quests, a thread on reddit says it's a save game issue but there unsure what triggers it, affecting alot of people and is happening on all three platforms.

Same problem here. First crash happened to me on the follow high rise mission so decided to pursue the main story line. Got to tracking the courser and when i get near, the game crashes. Tried reloading old saves and uninstalling with no success. Hope this is patched soon and we better not have to start new saves. Have over 20 hours played.

There's a large post on the PC forums about this issue at http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1546438-fallout-4-crash-in-specific-area/page-3#entry24502302with more details and testing, seems to be affecting a large number of players from all 3 platforms.

I don't want to be waiting over a month for a patch... like mad max with ther almost gaming breaking MAP glitch...(atleast you could still play the game and it would not crash on you) i wish they would just give us a indication that they are working on a patch and a time frame they will think they will have it fixed. I' m still playing but it's farking hard when most of the quests just plain old crash on you.

I've received a message from staff asking me to give them the save closest to the crash so they can figure out what's wrong, so I can confirm that Bethesda are working on a fix right now.

I'm having trouble with flying on the vertibird, but in the quest "Rockets' Red Glare," for the PS4 version. As far as I can tell from the PC workaround, the flights in vertibirds are what crashes the game. The reason I think so is because the workaround skips the ride in order to avoid the issue, and now I see that in a totally different quest, after about the same amount of time, riding in a vertibird crashes the game. Would love to get an administrator to comment on this issue.

In advance, yes, I have tried reloading my saves, going hours back to see if it was an issue with the save, fast traveling out of the area and reloading it, et al.
