"Crash": Memory Lounger

[RopeDrink]

Had a pretty smooth experience with F4 so far. Sure, the occasional frustrating bug (usually nothing a quick load can't fix), but now I've officially encountered a complete 'blocker'.

Without spoiling anything, I'm at a specific part of the main story involving the memory lounger. As soon as I enter it (cut to white screen), the game will basically do nothing (can play sounds, but stays white screen). Clicking the screen gives the age old "Fallout 4 has stopped working" popup to which I can continue to wait (with no progress) or have the PC force an app shutdown.

I have no idea how to bypass this. Restarts didn't work, admin rights didn't work - next step is to try default GFX settings etc but I have a feeling that won't do much.

Anyone encounter this problem and/or have suggestions on a fix for this single part of the game? I heard people had issues in the past when 'leaving' the pod, not entering it - I guess it may be related.

I have just encountered this issue also, and now cannot continue the main quest. Has anyone found a way to resolve this? Preferrably without skipping the memory lounger part.

Hey Rin. I managed to pass the problem by ensuring the game was forced to 60 FPS. Due to some tweaks and changes, certain segments for me where not at 60 FPS, causing some issues. If you use AMD card, for example, open Catalyst and tell it to force VSync on. You can also consider downgrading the GFX settings via the launcher and/or deleting the DX files, verifying your cache (so it redownloads the originals), then trying with completely default settings.

After forcing VSync and turning resolution down to extremely small size, I managed to enter that part of the game, save, restore my settings, load - and continue as normal. Once you find a way passed that white screen, everything else should be perfectly fine (had no problems at all afterward).

Thanks for the info, Rope. I did not manage to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue but I have managed to get pasted it myself. I was just about to update my post to explain what I did when I saw you had already replied :D

Anyway, I'll include my steps here just in case it helps. I got round it by removing the fallout4prefs.ini and fallout4.ini (wasn't sure which might cause the issue so removed both just in case), from the '/Documents/My Games/Fallout4' folder, then relaunched the game and it worked. I had changed the resolution and FOV settings in the ini files, so it they may have been those changes that caused it for me. I didn't change the FPS/VSync settings, so not sure what the exact issue is.

After the memory mission was completed I restored the ini files, overriding the newly created ones, and now its back to a resolution that fits my monitor :)
