Crashes when using Robot Workbench

[ᴆᴀʀɢᴀṣ]

Hello, I started the DLC yesterday and had a lot of crashes since then. I verified my local files on steam, restarted my PC, but nothing seem to have helped because I had two crashes in a row today again, everytimes I try to customise Ada. For some reasons I managed to fully customise Jezebel with no issues, even Ada, but yesterday it was when trying to build a new robot. Today, adding sentinel left arm to Ada seems to crash the game...
I don't use any mods. Win11 Pro 64bits, 62GB Ram, 1660 Super, Ryzen 5 3600.

Any mods installed?

I have so far never had crashes with the robot workbench or the Automatron DLC, nor have I seen this pop up as a regular issue. This seems to be something on your end.

No mods installed, I stated it at the end of the post

Did you have mods installed in the past?

Does it happen with all savefiles or only the recent ones?

If you still have the old version installed together with Buffout 4 (which is currently waiting for an update to work with the new game version) can you check the crash log for why it is happening. Until then is it a guessing game.

Nope haven't installed mods since forever, it doesn't happen consistently, like right now I just had a random crash when teleporting to red rocket after salvaging everything. I didn't have any crashes before the update. Also, I received the DLCs like three days ago, so maybe these add more issues, not sure.

EDIT: I verified my steam local files yesterday, after the multiple crashes. Didn't seem to help and it also reseted a lot of my ingame settings. I'm playing windowed borderless and disabled weapon debris, everything is on ultra, minus depth of field.

I have no idea how well the DLCs play along when installed in the middle of a play-through, especially when new content was added with the update, too. It should not be a problem, but it is too early to tell. You might be the first one to find out that doing so causes problems... (yay, you are a pioneer!!).

All I can suggest at this time is to try a new game with all the DLCs and the update installed from the start and see if it happens again. Although this is likely not something you want to do.

Was given a first quest by the Atom Cats, near the Poseidon factory, some ennemies. My custom automatron start fighting them, I get closer, scope and...crash

Updating here my situation, I played for two hours after the update dropped with OBS open and had no crashes. Still unsure if this is on my end like it was previously suggested or not

Wait? You are running with video recording or streaming overlays? Those do crash the game for some folks. Try without it.

Damn, that really sucks. But yeah, I've been playing on stream for weeks before the "next gen" update and had zero issue. I played 6 hours while streaming again and no more crashes, I guess the monday update fixed it for me ?

I cannot tell you. The problem however is that when you run software like video recording or streaming then it likely uses hardware encoding for it. This means it puts a bit more stress on your GPU than just running a game, and it further requires the graphics driver to be in top shape to handle it all simultaneously. While this is all good fun and I do not want to discourage you from doing so, does it make trouble-shooting of any issues into a search of a needle in a haystack.

[ᴆᴀʀɢᴀṣ]

Yeah, not sure if my GPU or CPU were struggling to run the game while streaming, but that could be it. In task manager they seemed fine

I have a crash every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥ time i try make/customize a robot never used mods in my life tryed verifying files re downloading it, still crashes plz someone have a fix!

Try it in windowed mode. If the crash stops one of your graphics settings could be overheating your GPU for full screen.

Ovearheating GPU or CPU wouldn't turn the program off or even crash it, your PC would simply just turn off or go in to power saving mode (auto-downclocking).

The problem seems to be simple corruption of the game that has been stored in the save-file, it sucks but that isn't unusual with fallout or elder scrolls series, you can either find out what causes the game to crash and avoid it like the plague, start the game over as these corruptions only gets worse with time, try installing performance mods like the unoffical patch or the high fps mod, the high fps mod removes the game clock from the fps count of the game, running the game on a fps count higher than 60 WILL mess up the game, the mod locks the game clock to 60 while allowing you to play on a higher fps.
