The game keeps crashing every few minutes
I have a high end PC so that's not the problem. What's happening?

The game seems to crash at random moments. It happened in the beginning inside the house and then while running to the shelter. I stopped playing after that.

My PC: RTX 3080, 32 GB RAM, i7 11700K and 2 SSD of 500 GB

Edit: I'm not using any mods.

Weapon Debris can crash on the way to the vault, but it shouldn't be doing it while still in the house. So the run to the vault might be weapon debris, but there is another issue causing the crash in the house.

if you haven't already, turn off weapon debris; it uses an old technology that modern cards do not support.

Apparently, your game keeps crashing even with your "high end PC". It happens.

The usual remedy for crash issues would be to turn off all the mods you are using, and see if the problem is still present.

If your game doesn't crash, try re-enabling your mods just ONE at a time and see where it goes unstable in order to find your culprit. You might need to update or remove any faulty mods. (Remember that any game saves that are dependent on mods you have disabled will not behave, so expect loss of functionality on previous saves.)

If your game crashes without any mods running, look at updating your sound and graphics drivers.

Remember that this game is OLD, and Windows has moved on a lot since the games launch.

On the contrary: this is probably the CAUSE.

Higher end hardware cannot be detected or used properly with this game's very old engine. So telling us what your 'high end' computer actually IS, will help a lot to figure out what the best course of action is.

Did the game run before this on that same computer? What point are you at, in the game specifically when it crashes?

Did your computer OS or any of its drivers, software stuff like Onedrive, or firewalls update?

But yeah the higher end computers are the most likely, not least likely, to have trouble running this game.

Seems like a weapon debris error I had the same thing when I just redid my rig and maxed all the settings.

Did you build a high end PC or did someone at Best Buy sell you a high end PC? They are very different.

Well the other day you were arguing with your mother, while you were seething you accidentally downloaded a virus and now that virus is screwing around with your system, crashing your game regularly. I know cos I saw into your home, pc and its system with my mind.

Or you could give us more details on your pc and what you actually did around it so we can have a clue what went wrong instead of using telepathy.

When weapon debris is on, the game crashes cause you run out of gpu memory. At 2560x1440 60 fps. I max out at 10.5 gigabytes but only if i look into the direction of the garbage can postal box and a bunch of bodies next to the sewer where the death claw comes out. If i turn 180 degrees the amount of gigabytes used halves. That together with the weapon debris fix, the high fps fix and some edited lines left and right. I can say, i still have no problems with weapon debris.

I'll try disabling that option anyway.

With the RTX card, weapon debris will definitely be an issue. So turning that off is a good idea. But it sounds like that may not be the only problem.

Go to this website - https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/

Follow the instructions down to Bug Fixes, if you want continue through TMR extended. This is a good base mod list for helping with stability.
