Xbox 360 Quest Come fly with me.

I ended up doing a lot of side quests before going any further than novac, and have not entered the strip yet. I'm level 29 and put a lot of time into my character and cannot finish this quest without my save getting corrupted.

I clear out the basemant

Collect all the parts needed including the sugar bombs and turn them in then during the launch sequence I leave.

When I leave the basemant it corrupts every save file afterwords before I can actually launch the rockets. There was one change, when it first happened I had picked up the space suit and the save got corrupted when going from the basemant to the main building. I tried the basemant door to the main building and the outside to front door to the main building and they both corrupt my auto save and any other save the second I enter the main building. When I didn't pick up the space suit I was able to go from the basemant to the main building without it getting corrupted once but when I loaded the office I loaded my auto save and it got corrupted the second I entered the offices(ARGH soo close. So far the wikia has a couple of bugs noted that could be what the bug is:

From wikia Come Fly With Me page:

1. Picking up the Space suit in this quest CAN, but not always, corrupt save files.

2. (PC ONLY?) Entering the REPCONN basemant the 2nd time to talk to Jason after talking to him upstairs, or even simply re-entering any area of the the REPCONN building after "securing" the basemant might corrupt all subsequent saved files. A possible fix is to to use the "movetoqt" and "moveto ref id" console commands since the corruption seems to occur after using area transition doors within the building. (Confirmed unrelated to the recent patch)

3. The corrupt game save file bug may be related to faction scoring. Go away, do a quest that alters your reputation with another faction, and then re-try the mission.

4. Sometimes a save file from inside the room where you launch the rockets will become corrupt and crash the game if you try to load it.

Personal notes on 3 and 4.

3. I have a really high faction score with a lot of different factions. I'm not even hated by the powder gangers.

4. I didn't save inside the room, I make an auto save in the room with the makeshift beds before the entrance(sp) to the main building but only after I started noticing that my saves were being corrupted as a back up just in case.

I have no idea how to get past this and could use some help.

Not a solution but maybe a reason the save corrupts. Im thinking it may have something to do with the quest ending?

Im yet to retry the quest on my second go, after getting the DLC save game error after 65hrs of my first try. My last save loaded fine upto and including going to the scrap yard, returned to the site. launched and finished the quest - going by the game. But it wasn't finished, I still have to return to Novac and tell the sniper guy the ghouls are gone dont I?

I already had the suit and helmet when I last saved and went to the scrap yard - still working. To this I explored the lower tunnels before they became part of the quest, after I took care of the Nightkin.
I already had the Isotope before starting the quest.
Suger bombs? cant remember this part at all.

I dont have a companion while doing this quest.

Im actually back to this area again so I may run some tests...

Right but which outcome successfully won't bug your save.

If it helps, I did this mission and I can tell you some of the things I did:

- I killed the Ghoul in the basemant and asked the Nightkin to leave using the packing slip from the Stealthboys or whatever
- I DID take the Spacesuit
- I didn't do anything with Sugarbombs, when they asked for the items they needed I got the fuel from the dead guy on the road near Novac (I think that's where he was, I'm going off memory since it was I guess nearly two weeks ago I did this), I forget what the other part was he needed but I got it, and it definitely wasn't sugar bombs
- I didn't talk to Wannabe Ghoul about his fate at all, I knew they were going to leave him there/potentially kill him? But after the head ghoul told me about their plans, I just gave them the parts, they said they were ready, I went up to the launch platform
- I didn't alter any coordinates

That was around hour 12 that I finished that quest, I'm into hour 55 with no problems caused by that quest. Basically, I did it as cut and dry as possible.

I did this quest pretty early on....however I did have Ed-E and Sniper Boy with me at the time. I DID change co-ordinates, and got mucho points for doing so making the trip 50% more efficient) Never remember anything about Sugar Bombs. Use the Rockets and the thing from the Dead Guy with the Rad suit to complete this quest. I did convince Wannbe Ghoul to go to to NoVac or whereever....and Convinced the NightKin to leave using the packing slip.

Never had one glitch on this whole quest what-so ever....but that was also before the Kinect XBOX update came out.....that is when I started having problems. I really think our issues has to have something to do with that.

I'm thinking it's faction scoring, the more of the world and side quests you do the better the chances that your save will get corrupted.
