Crash at TAKE IT BACK!

[Im_John]

The Problem: Every time I get near liberty prime or advance too far across the first or second bridge (Varies from attempt to attempt...) I will loose the sound of: Gunshots, voices, and footsteps. This is followed by freezing and crashing. But if not crashing there, the the game continues untill I press 'escape' (or open console), open my pipboy, or any doors, then it crashes.

What I Have Tried:

• 
  Deleted Fallout Nv directory and reinstalled.


• 
  Ran TTW multiple times.


• 
  Reinstalled TTW multiple times.


• 
  Checked load order.


• 
  Deleted all mods.


• 
  Simply walking to the Jefferson Memorial directly with "TCL".


• 
  Lowering Graphics.

I really need help, I'm stumped.

Do you have Fawkes as a follower?

[Im_John]

Why Yes...

[Micalov]

There is a known issue with Fawkes causing crashes, would fire him and see if the crashes continue.

[Im_John]

I almost wish it were a more complicated fix than that...so I wouldn't feel as stupid for deleting and reinstalling all those times. But thanks I had no idea that could cause anything.

I had the Fawkes bug as well, so I went back and dismissed him before going anywhere near the Citadel.

The problem I'm having now is that Liberty Prime wont go beyond the second barrier.  He goes over the first bridge, down the road, then either turns away from the second barrier, or clips into the building at the end of the road.  The one time he made it past the second barrier, he proceeded to walk across the bay back to the Citadel, then sat on the beach drinking margaritas.  (Ok, I added that last bit.  He does appear to be contemplating drinking margaritas though, as he stands on the beach doing nothing... At least that is what I would do if I were standing on a beach doing nothing.)

I noticed that LP was diverting from his pathway in order to go after Enclave troops, so I switched off active spawns in IWS and that seems to have helped.  Maybe just coincidence, but I got through it anyway.
