USAF Satellite Station Olivia crash

[the_flying_seawalrus]

Whenever i go near USAF Satellite Station Olivia my game crashes to desktop without any error messages. This happens even when i have absolutely no mods installed. I can kinda live with it by cirkling around it but its really annoying.

verify cache

could also be an item from a mod that fell on the ground there, and u disabled the mod afterwards, permanently causing this location to have an issue until you re-enable that missing mod

Cache already verified and it did nothing. the instal is fresh so i doubt its one of the mods.

Having the same problem, it's pretty annoying as I am trying to get the locket but am unable to get it.

It sounds like two of you have (or had) a mod in common that is currently causing this issue.
If you guys can sort that out, I'm sure you'll find the culprit and let the mod maker know it needs an update (if the maker is still active).
If the maker is no longer active, it would be best to manually clean out the left over files that's causing the crash around Olivia. The trick is finding out what you have in common.
So on that note, compare your mod lineups (if you still can do that).
Since OP mentioned having removed mods, that could mean a left over file (or multiple files) that needs to be manually removed.

This is a common "cleanup" issue that seriously needs to be addressed to prevent this kind of issue from reoccurring even when mods have been removed.

I remember this experience from years ago when I made mods and modded a different game which was made by Digital Anvil and published by Microsoft. (Freelancer).
Even after deactivating the mods, I always found left over files from those mods.

Those are the files you have to look for.
I am sorry, but there is no easy way around it except with the assistance of someone who is familiar with modding this game.

Well, I somehow got a fix for it but not sure how it happened. After a bit it had just disappeared and I could retrieve the locket.

That happens a fair bit. If you're not in the area for long enough, it'll automatically reset. This'll remove corpses, dropped items, respawn enemies etc. That'll quite often fix crashes due to dodgy objects or actors, ince they've been removed and replaced.

I'm on my first playthrough and this is happening to me right now. I have ZERO mods installed. Literally NONE. How do I fix this?

Edit: I used the console command TCL (no-clip) and tried opening the door to station from the opposite side of the door, but it wouldn't let me, so I entered tcl again and entered normally and it didn't crash this time. I don't consider that fixed though. When I start my second playthrough I'll install at least some bug fix mods so if anyone knows of some that fix this ctd, please let me know. Also any recommendations would be appreciated too.

Unfortunately, you'll have to accept weird things like that in Bethesda games. They happen all the time and trying to figure out the source is a real pain.

Even if you don't want to use mods, I'd recommend downloading the Unofficial Patch. It fixes an insane amount of bugs and other little issues.

I don't know why I didn't mention this at the time in my post but I wasn't using mods back then because I felt like I should do at least my first full playthrough without mods. I don't remember how long I exactly went without mods, but it was a long time. Oh...now I remember. I was actually not using any mods also because I didn't own all of the dlc's yet, and a few mods (like the Unofficial Patch), require you to own all of the dlc's to use the mods. Once I owned all the dlc's I installed a few simple bug fix and performance mods, but I didn't install any mods that changed game mechanics. I wanted to get all of the achievements without using mods that made it easier, and I did! I really hope Fallout 5 will be announced and released within the next few years, but I know that might be less likely with Bethesda working on Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. Plus, they keep doing crap for Fallout 76...which is annoying to say the least.

Someone bumped the topic to give a theory about graphic drivers....

This is not 2018, this is 2021. If and when you want to find out why you are crashing then use Buffout 4 mod.

The crash logs will tell you which mod is causing the crash.
