Happy New Year everyone, can anyone help, I can no longer enter Vault 81, even my chars who have completed quests for the Vault can't get in the game crashes repeatedly when I try to enter. I have reinstalled the game, I have disabled all my mods, swapped companions, created new chars and even swapped clothes but nothing works, every time I enter the outside cave entrance it crashes my game, even using the COC command to enter the vault causes it to crash. Has anyone had a similar problem and please can someone help.

cheers

First, this is best posted in the technical support section for your platform (presumably PC with mods).

Second, when you say you've tried no mods and new characters, has that been ONE TEST? ie: a fresh install, an unchanged ini, new character, AND with no mods whatsoever, entering the vault normally?

It might be a mod has changed something that has already corrupted your main game, and will corrupt new ones if it's enabled.

Also, are you removing your textures/meshes folders, too? Replacers cannot be disabled using NMM, but if you have bigger textures than your computer can handle, the game will crash trying to render them all.

you downloaded CBBE didn't you.

Yeah I did, is that the problem.

Ok I got Vault 81 working, just gotta remember to disable CBBE before entering, hopefully the issue can be fixed. Cheers for your help.

Is there an issue with CBBE? I haven't installed it but I've been planning on it. Should I avoid it for the time being?

I know that, in the case of missing meshes, FO4 will crash. In previous games there was a special 'error' mesh that looked like the red diamond with a !, but FO4 seems not to have one. So if you've a mod that changes meshes, and it fails to load some of them (improperly downloaded, or the mod author forgot to include it), your game will crash.

Very unfortunate. Having the would at least make it clear it was a mesh-loading problem, to make error corrections easier.

Busted!
