Rivet City area freeze

Post » Fri Nov 26, 2010 5:21 am

Hi

I'm experiencing a freeze during my main quest going to Rivet City.
Should I go by feet (near the Potomac River) or by the Sub (Anacostia Station), if I go close to Rivet City the game freezes or crashes every time.

It appears after a few seconds or if I try to do anything (activating PIP BOY, talking to the diying man, activating the bridge, ...).

The bug started when I killed 3 mutants and the 2 creatures acompaniying them, after Dukov's house, along the river.

If I go anywhere else in the map, no problem but ...

I have the GOTY edition, v1.7.0.3 with an AMD x2 Core. I recently changed my graphics drivers (NVidia GeForce 9600M GS) and I'm playing on a Windows Vista 32 bits.

Do you have any advices ???

Thanks

Are you running the Unofficial patch? If so disable the Broken Steel patch.

If so disable the Broken Steel patch.


Or get the fixed version.

Well I'm not having any patch !

Yesterday I tried the "tip" for quadri core (changing Fallout.ini file, even if I just have a dual core) and I managed to get in Rivet City. I also disabled auto save, just in case ...
Well don't know if I will be able to get any further, but I managed to leave the town too and to begin Operation Anchorage.

Let's see what happen.

Thanks for answers anyway !
