So yeah, in the first week of fallout being the nosy parker I am I eschewed the main quest for a whopping 50+ hours, on the night of the 16th I experienced a crash, thought W/e seems like a good time to call it a night. In the morning I experienced the same crash, and after extensive testing I've found I'm completely unable to even MEET nick valentine because the game crashes without fail if you try to get near the area of park street station. I loaded up the game today with huge hope that the recent patch had fixed this issue, well I was dead wrong. We're now 23 days since I confirmed the bug and I STILL can't progress.

I just want to add I had an eerily similar situation with fallout 3 as well where the game was broken for over a month because the game would crash in the load screen leaving a building.
