Keeps on freezing using VATS!

[FallenHeroes]

I am playing the new Surivival mode which is still in beta. Does anyone else have issues with the game freezing when you rely on Vats to get shots off one after another? I am just trying to get shot after shot off in a fire fight than the game will freeze if it is shot after shot, which ruins runs because of the limited saving in fallout 4 survival mode.

sure you arent playing fallout 3 ? vats freezes time

[FallenHeroes]

not what i mean the game becomes none responsive after using vats a few times one after another and i have to shut the game down using task manager in orrrder to regain any computer controls.

I've got the same issue with V.A.T.S. It has really messed up the imersion for me, since after playing for say 2 or 3 hours without sleeping I'll use V.A.T.S and the game freezes, then crashes.
This has forced me to play in a way where I'll at times sleep for an hour somewhere, even though I don't want to lose adrenaline or other perks, because I am afraid that V.A.T.S may freeze the game for me... really irritating bug this one.

ya, got vat freezed three times today too, had to use task manager to shut it down.
i now rely on one of the nexus mods to save anywhere, so i can save before a fight that might freeze me

i've come across this one a few times.

Seems to happen when there would be a reload weapon sequence needed during vats.

if i'm careful to reload before entering vats i dont seem to crash, but if i havent been paying attention to how close to a reload i am, such as when fighting a group of ghouls, that seems to trigger it

the bug might not be the reload, maybe its just too many targets for vats to track that crashes the game as the two seem to go hand in hand when it happens

Same problem. There's no real consistent thing causing the problem. My game has frozen when just entering vats, when just one enemy, when multiple enemies, when targeting, when shooting at the second target, when the enemy was moving, when the enemy was stationary. There isn't one thing that appears to tie all these together.

Hey! I had the same issue. I use a mod called Bullet Time. Adds an item to your aid section. Hotkey it and bam. Has visual effect options, no ap cost or yes to cost. It is handy dandy. VERRRRRRY stable mod

This mirrors my experience. I've only run into it while entering VATS for the first time in an encounter (and usually an encounter against just one opponents), but between it and the newly increased time between saves (because of needing to sleep to do so), I've played much less Fallout 4 than I otherwise would have because of lost progress.

this its a very very rare bug for me - but i was getting it before the survival beta so dont think the beta is to blame

I undertand that someone would play less because of this issue. I have logged 5d 2h on my current survival mode character, however it is most likely more in the range of 6 days becuse of loosing 2-3 hours, and I am talking about real hours here, not in-game hours, so many times... soooooo many times... soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times. :(

All it takes is a few herbs, caffeine and patience ^_^

This also happens to me all the time. The game is pretty much unplayable at this point, because of sleep-saving. Has anyone found any solution yet?

Unless you want to install a mod? yes there is a way. I can manual save and enable console whenever

That's not really a solution because the game doesn't stop crashing. It just reduces the wasted time, and it's bad because of survival mode sleep-save philosophy.
