Hey all,

I just started a new FO3 game, with a bunch of mods included.

I will post my complete list from home later, but it includes FWE, MMM, WMK, 20th Century Weaps and several more.

I believe that I've patched every single mod to its latest version, followed all the instructions properly and done all the obvious things like MasterUpdate, creating a Merged Patch etc.

I have an almost crash-free game so far at level 10, but there are some annoying CTDs that ruin my immersion. These crashes are non-reproducible and relatively random, but they occur (if at all) only when I am doing specific things.

To be more detailed, the crashes I am talking about occur 99% of the time when:
1. I am walking around / trading in Rivet City
2. I am raiding a Talon Corporal or possibly other Talon personnel (for the first time only; once I reload from the same spot, I can raid the Talon bodies with nothing but a small delay)
3. I am shooting MMM Behemoths with my trusted Sniper rifle
4. I am using one of the FWE skill books with several items in my inventory

I hope that one or more of these are recognizeable and you can tell me some ideas on how to eliminate or reduce them! I figure that I can't be that special, and if I'm having these CTDs then possibly others do too...


Any help from anyone who knows (and especially the masters like Martigen) would be greatly appreciated

Are you using the Unofficial Patch for broken steel? If so, there is a fix for that and may stop your RC crashes.

This happened to me quite often when trying to loot Talons while I was running FWE. After around 15 crashes I gave up trying to loot them at all. It seemed to be related to an item in their inventory- possibly the combo of a pack of cigarettes and some .44 ammo. I was too frustrated with the crashing to fully narrow it down.

Hey bendiwolf, good to see you around.


I've not heard this before, is this only as they die, or just shooting them? I'll take a look anyway and see if anything is out of the ordinary.

Hey Mart Great to see you too

It's actually before they die that it crashes on me - it happened 3-4 times so far, and only when there were a bunch of other Mutants surrounding the behemoth...

EDIT : I don't know if this will help, but I think it happens when I first start shooting at them, and their aggression package kicks in - at least I think it happens when they start coming towards me...

maybe try game booster? i've found it works wonders on my frames and stability. also i know that there was a bug that caused crashes at level 10 with MMM though i think that was fixed.
