Constant crashing when loading a saved game.

[dave-c-hicks]

Just set this up tonight, and I like what I see, so far. Got to level 4 while saving Garvey and crew in the museum of freedom, but it crashed when exiting the museum. Now, it just keeps crashing when I try to reload. I see that you have Buffout4VR in the mix, but I haven't got a clue how to make use of it. If you can give me a little guidance, I will be happy to try to help debug issues. I've never done any modding of my own, but I was once a software engineer in a previous life. Will await instructions.
Thanks!
Dave

I've taken a look at a few Buffout crash reports and they're beyond my comprehension for now. Sorry! But if you can figure something out it would be nice.
Bethesda has thought me to save early and often in multiple saves, you'll never know when its gonna crash and burn and break your save file while doing that. Especially with mods added to the soup.

you can give me crash logs and i'd be happy to look at them.

BUffout 4 puts them in Documents/My Games/Fallout4VR/F4SE

Sorry about the delayed reply. I found the logs. There appear to be several that were all generated at the same time. So, I will send them all, in case they are helpful. I tried looking at them myself, but they just look mostly like gibberish to the uninitiated. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I was able to get past my immediate impasse by going back to a previous save. I don't know why I hadn't thought to try that already. I think I know what caused it to barf in the first place, too. I was "over encumbered" when exiting the Museum of Freedom. I've noticed in the past that FO4 has a tendency to crash when you change venues in an over encumbered state. I suspect that's exactly what likely corrupted the save that I was attempting to load.

Anyway, I'm well on my way again and will report any other issues. I've also added a few mods that I like, even though one of them is often maligned as a bad actor. :) That would be "Scrap Everything". I also use the "Scrap (Not Quite) Everything" mod with it, to limit some of the more ridiculous scrapping possibilities. Other mods I've added that seem to be working well, so far:

• Longer Power Lines
• Legendary Modification
• Scrappable Legendaries
• All Settlements Extended
• Armor and Weapons Keywords (required by Legendary Modification)

There are a few others that I plan to add later, but I didn't want to gum up the works too badly in one go. The only mod that I disabled from the original list is FRIK. I'm not really fond of it, and it makes the game feel "odd" to me, since I'm playing in a seated position.

Otherwise, I'm loving this mod list. Great selection of graphical and game play enhancements. Thanks for the hard work of putting it all together in WabbaJack.
