Game crashes approaching area of Greenetech Genetics (solution)
My web research availed nothing but finger pointing, blaming on mods, etc. Fortunately I found a solution that works for me -- perhaps for you too:

This bug did not happen on my 1st playthrough. It occurred on my 2nd and 3rd playthrough.

HUNTER/HUNTED: When you kill the courser at Greenetech Genetics and finish that objective, LATER it causes that entire cell (several blocks in all directions) to crash if you enter it. If you walk from CIT (along the river) east, toward the bridge, as soon as you approach the truck with the trash against the wall – the game will crash.

No matter which direction you approach (swimming from the south, north, or in the vertibird, the game will crash when you enter this cell. The quest SHADOW OF STEEL requires you to board the vertibird with Danse & fly to the blimp. The game will crash when flying over this cell.

SOLUTION-1: for Shadow Of Steel in-flight bug: unmark this as an ACTIVE quest and do NOT talk to DANSE at the police station or board the vertibird. Instead, go to the airport and jet (or TCL) up to one of the Prydwen blimp's vertibird appendages where you will get the "discovered Prydwen" message. You will see the captain a short distance away where you must talk with him -- and are FORCED to reveal Acadia if you've already explored that area. To bypass talking to him: setstage bos201 120 (now go inside and attend the meeting). IMPORTANT: do NOT use the console command COC into the Prydwen blimp as this may permanently disable your ability to fast travel anywhere.

SOLUTION-2: on the ground (near the river) determine the EXACT place of the crash. Savegame. Turn around. Face DOWN at the ground. Move backward past the “crash threshold” while looking down at the ground. Once in, then you can turn around. Apparently exiting this bad “cell” does not crash the game (only entering).

SOLUTION-3: COC to a place INSIDE the plaza and COC out since as soon as you open the door to exit the building, the game will crash.

Hope this saves some grief for you guys out there.

OKAY I know this may be a bit old BUT here goes:

https://bethesda.net/community/topic/17804/cyberpunkshadow-s-greenetech-fix/7

Short answer theres a bunch of crap (game assets under two signs just outside greenetech)

LONG answer: You have to tcl into the area and make sure your pretty far down under the game world (especially if you have Hi res pack installed). And manually disable all the crap under the game world. Apparently this is save game related so its hard to mod it.

Did you care to even read the description?

@ SnowGodz yes whats ya point. Im explaining what is causing the main issue and how to fix it. As you approach Greenetech the CTD is caused generally by this bug.

I found a fix. Disable the hi res pack.

Late reply, but I don't have the high res pack and still get this bug. Any ideas?

I found a fix as well. If you've modded the game and have pre-apocalyptic roads and walls, remove them. I can freely move around that area now.

Where are these assets? I fast traveled to CIT and then used tcl to walk under the map to greentech. I can't find any assets underneath the map to disable. I know this is a really old discussion but I'm getting desperate cause I have a few quest that involve walking through this area and I keep getting CTD.

Ok, so I narrowed it down to 2 mods causing this: Tales of the commonwealth and Home plate overhauls. Tales of the commonwealth has that hideout clubhouse thing right near there and that's right around where it always breaks when u go near it. The home plate overhaul ones I realized when i opened the map inside the home plate 'settlement' and the map says the player is at.... greenetech genetics while u are really in diamond city. I disabled both and now it works

I know this is an old discussion and I'm just doing this out of frustration but even now. I haven't touched the hunter/hunted quest and even doing a clean run. Game crashes going near Green tech. even going directly from vault 111 to Green tech in a new game
