First time playing crashes.

Post by Darrowmere » Sat Sep 22, 2018 12:09 pm

Hello just like to thank anyone helping me and having the patience as this is all a bit new to me. I keep having crashes/freezing every 5-10 minutes at different points. Just walking around, entering a building and sometimes when i load the game up it reaches the title screen with the ranger and the menu doesn't pop up.

I installed TTW with FOMM (also got NVSE through the install) and did the hotfix too.
I have NVSR, YUP, New Vegas uncut and freeside open installed using NMM.
Patched to 4GB and have manually installed NVAC and used Loot to get my load order correct. Also used FNVEdit (a tutorial on youtube) to make sure all yellow boxes on Loot are solved.

All this which i understand isn't a lot of mods but the game keeps crashing to the point it's unplayable to me. I haven't even met Moira yet.

As far as computers go my custom made PC can handle Fallout 4 maxed out so i don't think it's a performance problem. I use windows 10. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and if i knew how to get the crash log or what it's called i'd post it here too.

Don't use YUP or other bugfixes; use the TTW fixes file.

You shouldn't use TTWFixes either. It's out of date and was removed (from the old site anyway don't know if it's on the new site) because it was breaking things in the game. It won't be updated because the fixes are included in TTW 3.x and TTWFixes won't be needed.

Okay thanks for the response i uninstalled YUP with NMM. Once i entered Megaton though some buildings were invisible with only the doors showing and Lucas Simms and others talked to me but had no voice. I'd saved just after i'd entered Megaton (i was fed up with crashes and having to do the same walk multiple times.) i went to go outside Megaton and then re enter to see if it resolved it but the loading for leaving Megaton was never ending. So i closed the game down and loaded up the save right inside Megaton and the whole screen was a light grey with only the HUD showing normally.

When you say you used xEdit to "make sure all yellow boxes were solved" you didn't clean the esm files did you? You shouldn't ever clean the esm files for Fallout.

Loot is also a poor tool for sorting the load order for TTW. It often gets things wrong.

viewtopic.php?p=55121#p55121

The load order general guide will give you a general idea of where things should be sorted along with the proper order of the FNV/FO3 esm files. THe guide still has FCO and TTWFixes listed, just ignore those entries as they aren't working any longer. The guide just wasn't updated to reflect that.

I watched a you tube tutorial which instructed cleaning certain official DLC to New Vegas. Guessing that is wrong then and i'll have to reinstall from the beginning. If that is the case i will try installing without Loot and manually set up my load order using the thread provided skipping out FCO AND TTWfix. Thanks for the info. Third times a charm haha.

hehe, no prob. Cleaning works fine for Skyrim but not for Fallout and definitely not for TTW. I hope that fixes your problems.

Okay in the process of re-downloading New Vegas off steam. Will do the install TTW 2.9.4b with FOMM, add the hotfix, 4bg patch and add NVSR, NVAC, New Vegas uncut and freeside open.

Then set my load order up manually as:
FalloutNV.esm
DeadMoney.esm
HonestHearts.esm
OldWorldBlues.esm
LonesomeRoad.esm
GunRunnersArsenal.esm
CaravanPack.esm
ClassicPack.esm
MercenaryPack.esm
TribalPack.esm
Fallout3.esm
Anchorage.esm
ThePitt.esm
BrokenSteel.esm
PointLookout.esm
Zeta.esm
TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
FreesideOpen.esm
StripOpen.esm

Hopefully it'll work smoothly and i can be a bit more ambitious with mods after that but for now i'm happy to be able to just play it. Also one final point is it normal if you choose the Capital wasteland start that you're getting pop-ups for the pitt, point lookout and picking up Enclave radio before you've been alive five seconds? Just found it a little immersion breaking especially as a child in the vault still having access to the radio stations outside.

Well did it all as i stated above and i started the game and once i was leaving the cave door outside the vault the game crashed. Also still being informed about dlc and picking up Enclave radio before i've even got a name so guessing that's normal. I'll try loading up the last save and seeing if it crashes again.

Update: kept playing and upon entering Megaton...
