Rock Bottom Start bugged

[Hobo Misanthropus]

You now start with no limbs, and if you try to change off of Greenlander, there's like a 99% chance of a crash.

Yeah I'm getting that too. I think it's a bug with 1.0.22 to do with any character that has a robotic limb (that includes a missing one) missing all four instead of just the specifics. Hopefully will be fixed soon. The experimental 1.0.23 says it fixes it, but I haven't been very lucky trying to use that version yet but I'm sure that's a problem on my end.

To save you the trouble, I've already reinstalled and verified to no avail, so don't waste your time with that. My advice is to sit tight and use another start for now.

Yeah, I tried all the normal crap too, even the 0.23 which crashed even faster than others, I might try again.

I don't like the other starts though. I like Bark to be the first city I visit. I'll try screwing with 0.23 some more if it says it fixes it.

No limbs? Hmmmm.... now that would be a challenge.

haha, you basically have to rush to Sho-Battai and hope Riddly is there, and hope you get some cloths on the way, not Impossible for sure, but wiggling to Sho battai is going to be pretty rough. The one thing thta makes Rock Bottom managable is that you start off just slightly slower than skimmers, enough to outrun them by baiting attacks.

Just wanted to point out, this issue was resolved in 1.0.24

Fast work by Lo-Fi. Makes you really wonder why Bethesda can't fix a crash with a year lol. (I know there's a lot of red tape with patches on console though, and they like unified builds)

I wanted to add, if you're still crashing with 1.0.24 on Rock Bottom Start (And I guess try this with any start) while changing races, work faster. There seems to be some kind of time-sensitive crash. After about 30 seconds, if you switch races in the character creator, the game can still crash. Workaround is to know which race you want, and when you hit the creator, just rush to it. If you have multiple characters to make, this might not work so well.
