Crash on Ending Scene

[Yui Yuigahama]

So im finally reached the ending cut scene, but right after the final dialogue with father and transitioning to the cut scene, the game always not responding and crashing. Is there any fix to this? thanks

Spam your SKIP DIALOG key. That has usually worked in the past, as this is a very common thing.

Yeah that doesn't work..

Funny, I've heard about this bug many times but don't think I've encountered it.

What are your system specs? Are you running the game higher than 60 fps?

Assuming you can continue beyond the cut scene, you can always view it on youtube.

The other option is to force the stage of the particular mission - it is dependent on the faction you used to do this. If there were explosions involved this is a very common place for the game to glitch.

But you will want to be very careful about what you do: if you are in survival mode, you're boned, sorry.

If you can use the console to type dev commands, you need to load a save from DIRECTLY BEFORE this happens.

Make a manual save of that. Don't rely on quick or autosaves in this case.

Open your console with whatever key your specific keyboard needs to do that. (`/~ key on a regular qwerty).

Type in

SQT

That is Show Quest Targets. You'll get a list of all your open quests. There may be quite a few if you're at the end game.

If you were going to 'talk to Father', I'm assuming you were on the Institute side? MAKE SURE of which faction you're doing the end for. If the mission is Airship Down, you should be looking for inst307 in your list of quest targets.

Nuclear Family follows it, that's Inst308 - so one or the other of those should be in your open quest list.

Figure out which it is from the website linked. The pages those link to have very specific quest stages shown so you can then compare those to another command in the console:

getstage [either inst307 or inst308, whichever one you're unable to finish]

For Airship Down It should show you a number probably between 70 and 200. If you've evacuated the airport and then get the crash you can push the stage to 200 by typing

setstage inst307 200

Don't do this lightly: messing with completing any quest in the console can result in issues later if you're not careful. Always manually save first.

Again be SURE of the mission you are on, and at what exact point the mission is crashing before typing your stage number.

***

If the mission failing is Nuclear Family, the setstage is still 200, but the quest id is inst308.
