Zeta freezing instead of beaming me up

Post by Guttahtrash » Tue Sep 25, 2018 9:36 pm

Hi, first I need to say how amazing TTW is. Thank you for this. I'm loving playing through 3 with this.

My playthrough hasn't been perfect, but i've been able to go through most of the mq of 3, point lookout, the pitt, and many sidequests and such. I have a level 20 or so character and haven't ventured to the mojave yet. It's been the smoothest and most bug free fo3 experience I've ever had.

This is the first real problem I've encountered that I wasn't able to figure out by myself.

When I get near the crashed alien ship, instead of getting beamed up, my game freezes. This is the only hard freeze I've encountered, and it's infinitely repeatable.

So I figure the script to nab me is hitting a snag somewhere for some reason and hanging.

I did a search and see many people hanging at the probe scene just after this, but I haven't been able to find any mention of this particular trouble. I'm not using a cell purge mod to my knowledge. I followed a tutorial to mod TTW, so I admit it's possible.

This is the load order via Wrye Flash, but I've been using Vortex for load order. Vortex is working great but it doesn't have an easy copy load order function yet.
(I don't think it would be all that different):

I'm assuming the ++ marked mods are deactivated? The issue there is they STILL count towards the 130-ish limit. You can't just deactivate them, you must remove them completely. And you're pushing the mod limit as it is.

EDIT: Oh, you're using vortex, so they shouldn't show in the virtual data directory. You're still close on the limit. You might try tightening it up a bit more and see if it makes a difference.
