Whenever I try to fast travel to/enter camp mcarren or pretty much any town near the freaking place (pretty much everywhere) the game effectively stalls during the loading screen. I ctrl alt del out and I get a falloutnv crash error. This started during the "I put a spell on you" quest, which I couldn't do because it wouldn't let me even get to the monorail to diffuse the bomb. I seem to be the only person on the entire internet to have this problem and it's starting to irritate the hell out of me. Solution please.

Do you have any problems with any other loading screens, like the first screen to load your game save, or is it simply whenever you fast travel it crashes?

So far it's just fast travel for certain places minus the loading screen to get to the monorail. I had been playing the game for 25 hours without any problems up untill now.

Ugh scratch all that, just tried to get to the 188 trading post since it's the closet place I can't fast travel to and the game freezes when I enter a menu or use my pipboy when I get pass the Elderado gas station. That quest put a [censored] spell on me alright.

I have the same problem.
If i fast travel to anywhere near Novac it always stalls at the loading screen.. I've tried loading a much older save and travel to Novac (which i could when i made that save game) but that doesnt work either. Therefore I dont think it's a corrupt save file.
This stopped me from playing this game at all :/
