(Pre-War) Going into Vault 111 crash

[Partyboyco]

We rush to Vault 111, bomb goes off, vault door goes down and i crash straight to desktop. Weapon debris is off, tried multiple settings from Low-Ultra, tried a clean game with no mods and creation club. What am i missing?
Every game i have is fine, but ONLY the fallout games crash. Fallout New Vegas crashes, Fallout 3 crashes but not at the start, i can atleast play 45 mins before a crash. Only Fallout 4 crashes as soon as i get 4-7 mins into the game.

There are not many mods that crash the on that entrance. Are you certain that you do not have any extra files lingering in Data folder? Possibly forgotten, or leftovers from faulty installation? Latter is especially possible, if you ever used NMM to mod the game.

Have you tried validating game files, in case that they are broken?
Steam Library > Right click the game
Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

If neither is the issue, then you could have two things:

- Driver issue. Fallout games are quite tender to them.

- Bad RAM. I actually had this some time ago. My game would crash in both random and set locations. In the end I even got BSOD in the middle of the game. While my system and Steam detected the full amount of RAM, memory check revealed that part of it was actually gone bad. Replacing RAM fixes the whole issue.

If the game or RAM is not outright broken, then it is possible that something in your system is struggling with the game. In that case you could try to see if this mod keeps it running.

Well, try starting the game with
"Windowed Mode" and "Borderless" on,
"Weapon Debris" off.

It's also suggested to set your max. frame rate for Fo4 to 60, since anything higher might also cause the game to crash.

If you have all DLCs, you could also look for the "Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch" on Nexusmods or Bethesdas Mod list and download it, the patch fixes a lot of bugs and issues.

this might help with it.

Nothing in my system should be ♥♥♥♥♥♥, every other game works fine plus it's a brand new computer. Updated my drivers already to the latest, did integrity check, ram is new and works fine after a few checks. I legit dont know what it could be.

Already had UF4P and did 60fps. Still nothing. IDK what is up.

So you never had any mods? Or you installed UFO4P? One of those statements is false - which one?

What are you quoting that i said i "Never" had mods? In the first statement i posted i said "tried a clean game with no mods and creation club." Showing i tried a game with no mods on as well as creation club, i already had UF4P before all this and Fo4 was fine. I did what you said with the frame rate when you told me, thats what i was stating.
