Saves 100+ crash

Post » Wed Aug 25, 2010 8:59 pm

I have the STEAM Version and the game says we have 1000 saves. And hardcoe-Mode.

I save very often, i have ~50 hours of playtime and 106 saves. I heard some players lost her saves or get corrupted files so i saved that often.

Yesterday i tried to load the save #106 and the game crashed, i tried again and crash, i tried save #105 and crash... tried that to save #100 and it works...


I checked older saves and saw that i dont have save #1 to #6 anymore, seems like its overwritten or just deleted, now i cant save anymore cause every new save has a higher number than 100 even if i delete some older saves from my FalloutNV folder.

I still can load an old save but if i save i cant load it cause of crash... i have ~50 hours of playing and it seems the story has still 50 hours left... i cant play these without any break.



This game is broken for me now as long as i dont get a fix or any help.

Try turning on the autosave function and letting it save your game that way.

Have you verified that new saves you create are not loadable? What you describe sounds more like the savegame corruption issue described elsewhere on this forum. Was your first corrupted save at or around either Vault 3 or repconn test facility?

If that's not the issue then try using these console commands to save and load games:

save - save current game with description
save 1 - save current game with description and output a .txt file with game information.
load - load a game from a previous named save
savegame <"new save name"> - name your save whatever you like. For example, "Primm Sheriff"

To bring up the command console, hit "~".

@LawLessOne:

I will try the autosave but thats horrible. No manually save anymore.


@charybdisjim:

I will try that too. And the Repcon Quest is long time ago and no problem with that and i wasnt in Vault 3, the last i did was to find Corporal White i think and/or the quest for "Carben" (not sure about the name) in the Grey Building, i think its Westside New Vegas, im not sure about some names but i think you will know what i mean.




Anyway, i will try both options today... answer later.

OK, the autosave doesnt work.




But the Console Command "savegame " works as long as i tested.



I think its a new Quest bug. Quest name in german is "Weisse W?sche" 1 to 1 translation "White linen" or "White laundry". You have to find Corporal White and first what you have to do is talk to Dazzle (a girl in Gomora)... every save after this talk is broken and cant load anymore.

Another Quest could be "Der Schutzengel von Vegas" (The guardian angel of vegas), you have to do some things for this guy and than you have to go to Mrs. Hosteliers House and talk to her daughter, shortly before this a save is broken.

I made both quests at the same time so i cant say 100% sure which one is it, i have only tested the Dazzle Quest alone and save was broken...




So for now i use the savegame "name" console command and i have 20 new saves for now... so it seems it works, thanks for help, i will let you know if i get a new problem. Im so happy that i saved that much so i didnt lost much hours.

I save now manually after every little conversation or if i did something and immediatly load this save to see if its broken or not. So i can go back and ignore my last action.

That's so strange- but yeah sounds like a completely new bug. The English name of that quest is "White Wash" if anyone else encounters an issue with it.

It might have something to do with invalid characters in the savegame descrictiption auto-generated when you save normally since the console save works. That svcks man- sorry you have save that way.

Ok it was this quest, it was just coincidence that i had over 100 saves in this moment. I can save normally now but i still save as much as possible after every conversation or every little step of a quest cause i noticed i dont get achievements if i use console. So i restarted the game and did this part again "Voilare!" to get the achievement and i tried to save normally and it works.

And after every save i load immediatly to test this save.


So at all: Dont make Quest "Weisse W?sche" or "White Wash"... you can enable the quest but dont go to Dazzle. Damn Bugs.
