Khajiis CTD Guide (with CTD in fights FIX)

I finally played Fallout 4 again and yes, i had random CTD's and the most annoying CTD's in fights.
After 3 Years finally i fixed my CTDs! Also my solutions fixed the CTD in fights for other Peoples.

I decided to make this Guide here and implement all Informations about every CTD i know and wich i also can proof.

I will create sections here wich help you find your problem and also "hopefully" help you get rid of those annoying CTD's.

More CTD's and Bugfixes will follow soon!

Greetings,
Khajiirah.

Attenttion dear LOOT USERS!

Loot is a bad way to sort your Loadorder, as the Creator himself told you:

quote:
"It may sort your loadorder, but i won't do so for all mods or plugins..."
end quote.

Keep this in mind, everytime you use Loot, it doesen't matter if you use it for Skyrim, Fallout 4 or another game. The best way to keep a good loadorder is to read the descriptions at each mod page you've downloaded a mod from.

LOOT may help sort your load-order, but LOOT also may break your sortet load-order and then you have issues and problems with your load-order and you're not even thinking of any pluging problems.

Be self critical and remember the quote of the LOOT Creator.

"ESC-Button" CTD's

1. If you press ESC after starting a new game or loading a savegame and it crashes, it comes from AAF (Advanced Animation Framework) or Buffout 4, or the depencencies wich are needed for AAF or Buffout to run. Currently i am looking at this Problem so please be patient... Bugfix comes soon.

It's maybe "Torture Devices" from Loverslab.

Well, its maybe a wrong installed Buffout 4 or its dependencies.
So try read the Mods description and took it's dependencies in your Fallout 4 root directory.

Otherwise if you still get ESC-Key crashes, uninstall "Torture Devices" and also "ZazOut 4" then the ESC-Key CTD is also gone (or also uninstall Buffout 4 and its dependencies)

But remember, Buffout 4 and it's dependencies is recommended for some AAF-Mods!

"FIGHT" CTD's

CTD in Fight 1, wich NOBODY knows yet:
-------------------------------------
Well i had also CTDs in fights, and it diddn't matter how long i googled, at least the CTDs in fights did not go away.

Yesterday, i finally figured out (after 3 years) what was causing this.

It was a Mod called "Knockout Framework", i uninstalled it and loaded my old save...

At the Taffington Boathoue i'd shoot at a human corpse for 5 Minutes and i diddn't got any CTD.
Before i got a CTD when shooting at the Corpse after 30-40 seconds.

The same happened when i was shooting Dogs, Molerats, Supermutants, Humans.

After uninstalling this Mod the CTD's did go away and yesterday i did play 8 Hours and streamed it too, without any CTD.

I hope this helps, because i diddn't see any entry or tread on google describing this. Try it out, at least if you use this Mod, i am 100% sure it is causing your random crashes in fight, and mayge also other random CTD's because if enemies shoot at other NPC's the same CTD may occour. But without "Knockout Framework" this also will be gone.

2 . CTD when just shooting with a Weapon OR when Enemies shoot at you:
-----------------------------------
Disable Weapon Derbis should fix the problem, it only belongs to players with a specific Nvidia Card.
You can change it at the Launcher or in the FalloutPrefs.ini, found in your My Documents/My Games/Fallout 4 Directory.

Look for the following Line:
bNVFlexEnable=1
and change it to
bNVFlexEnable=0

I will add more CTD reasons late,r because i know much more, the two first entries here you can't find somewhere else. So i hope it helps you alot, and please share it if it helps! =^..^=

Have fun!.. finally..

"Random CTD's"

1. Random CTD:
-------------------------------------
If you experience random CTDs, try open the console, type in "refreshini" and right after "saveini",
do so if you experience random CTDs, save your game and load it, done!

I had to do this often in Skyrim to make sure my Game won't CTD near Whiterun.

2. Random CTD:
-------------------------------------
See in "Fight Section" (Disable Knockout Framework)

"Vault 88 CTDs"

1. CTD on enteriung/loading Vault 88.
-------------------
Disable or uninstall "Scrap Everything".

BUG - AAF (Advanced Animation Framework) triggers a quick-scene without pressing any related Keys?

(MOD Organizer Users skip Step 1 and goto Step 2 please!)

Bugfix:
This happens only to Players/Users wich don't use the english keyboard settings.

To solve this, do the following:

Goto your Fallout 4/Data/AAF directory and open the "AAF_setings.ini".

Search for the following line:

"quickscene_key = 122 ; F11"

122 is the Number for the F11-Key, maybe you use F11 as Steam Overlay? That's why it triggers the AAF quick-scene.

You need to change this Number from 122 to another one, here are some of the Key-Numbers you could use: https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/webprog/DHTML_javascript/0596004672_jvdhtmlckbk-app-b.html

Find a Key you wan't to use for the AAF-Quickscene and rename 122 to the one you like, done!

MOD ORGANIZER USERS:
This happens only to Players/Users wich don't use the english keyboard settings.

To solve this, do the following:

Open MOD Organizer and search for "Advanced Animation Framework" in your Mod-List on the left. (Maybe you renamed it?)

Right click it and choose "open in explorer" from the dropdown menu.

Open the "AAF_setings.ini" and search for the following line:
"quickscene_key = 122 ; F11"

122 is the Number for the F11-Key, maybe you use F11 as Steam Overlay? That's why it triggers the AAF quick-scene.

You need to change this Number from 122 to another one, here are some of the Key-Numbers you could use: https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/webprog/DHTML_javascript/0596004672_jvdhtmlckbk-app-b.html

Find a Key you wan't to use for the AAF-Quickscene and rename 122 to the one you like, done!

- Have Fun!

BUG - Black screen and nothing happens after loading save or starting a new game.

Happens if you installed a Mod that shows a Message on your Screen, because the Game fades in from black.
- Simply wait some seconds (wait for loading icon maybe, or not) and just press enter several times to acknowledge the message you can't see on your screen. Then you accepted the message and the game fades in from black.

BUG - Player is in "bleedout"-state and can't get killed.

This happens if you use a mod like "Follower Revive System[www.nexusmods.com]" this mod sets the palyer in bleedout mode, and after disabling the plugin file or uninstalling the mod from your mod manager, this "bleedout state" still persists.

Everytime your load your save, in wich you used this mod, will be buggy and you never could die anymore.

If you install this Mod again and use its "Uninstall Follower Revive Settings" Holotape, and if you choose "Uninstall" at this holotape, the Mod also won't get uninstalled and your savegame is still bugged.

FIX (5-10 Minutes Work):

1. Download this Mod here: "Balanced Essential Player[www.nexusmods.com]" and install it with your mod manager like all other mods.

2. Start the game and load your savegame.

3. The Mod is activated and you are still in "bleedout"-state like before, and now we actually get rid of it..

4. Open your Inventory with your PipBoy, goto the "Medic"-Section (where you have your food and drinks), there you find something wich is called: "Uninstall Essential Player" eat it, or drink it? Whatever, just use it!

(If you can't find it there, goto a chem-station and craft it, and then use it from your Inventory.

5. Now make your character naked, it is not needed but the next step may delete your armor parts so go nude and then proceed to next step!

6. After this, open the console and use type in "player.recycleactor." press enter to confirm. This will reset your character!

7. Close the Console or Pipboy and save your game!

8. Exit the Game and then open your Mod Manager, there you uninstall the downlaoded "Balanced Essential Player[www.nexusmods.com]"-Mod and done!

9. Start your Game, load your new savegame we just created or (ExitGame-Save) and go die! Wheeee profit!

"CTD after game start/bombs fell" (or also random CTD ingame everywhere)

CTD reported by Comrade Conan, thank you!

"Comrade Conan:
My game CTD'd to desktop after about 5 - 10 mins of play, regardless of where i were in the game. I didn't even get to a part where you actually could shoot a gun before it crashed, usually it was OK to create a character, but as soon as you ran outside and the bombs fell, game crashed."

Khajiirah:
As far as i remember this, start the game without SKSE, (just get the launcher up) and disable in its settings "Weapon Derbis" uncheck it.

Otherwise to actually disable it, you can go to Fallout4Prefs.ini in your Documents\My Games\Fallout4 folder and change the setting there. Look under the section called [NVFlex] and change bNVFlexEnable=1 to bNVFlexEnable=0.

Save the ini file, and the try again.

- If this really helps i don't know, if someone has this issue and tried my suggestion, leave a comment and let us know, thank you all!

[Comrade Conan]

@Khajirah Thank you! I remember that we did talk about this 2 years ago now. Time goes fast! Hope you're doing well.

[Khajiirah💗🧡💛💚💜]

@Comrade Conan, i am sorry, i just see we talked about it before. I remembe ri implement this in my Guide, but anyhow it wasn't there? So now i implemented it, and i hope this solution helps or will help others. So if someone else has such problem, and tried my suggestion for a fix, let us always know. If you all respond it helps others too! You all know how frustrating it is to have CTD's and bugs, and we need stay together and help each other. Gamers for the Gamers! =^..^=

Bro why you shoot dogs

[Comrade Conan]

My game CTD'd to desktop after about 5 - 10 mins of play, regardless of where i were in the game. I didn't even get to a part where you actually could shoot a gun before it crashed, usually it was OK to create a character, but as soon as you ran outside and the bombs fell, game crashed.

[Khajiirah💗🧡💛💚💜]

@ Comrade Conan: I will write it down here its good to know! - But i need to know, what was the exact problem you had? CTD of course, but when it happened and how often?

Did you start a new game and then it crashed after the "Intro-Video?"

Or did it crash after you fired your Weapon?

Whatever happened let me know every single detail, and then i will write it down here. Because Bugs i don't have at my PC/Game here i can not fully proof.

But it is better all peoples know, at least we all wan't to help, and so thanks for your help!

=^..^=

[Khajiirah💗🧡💛💚💜]

Ah and i hope you tried this: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/48078?tab=files

I also use this, even i maybe never needed it, so at least you have to enable mods to mae use of this file then.

It is a Weapon Derbis crash fix, but not the one with the ini-change, this one is a plugin file fre the game.

[Khajiirah💗🧡💛💚💜]

I have also Nvidia but not RTX i guess. I am actually taking a look at this weapon derbis problem and will write it down here into my guide.

[Comrade Conan]

Thank you for updating your guide and even if the game itself is not Bethesda's greatest work, I believe people that actually bought it, should be able to play it too.

I had to google like a mofo and fortunately I found this answer. Refreshini did not work and I didn't have any mods on.

Turns out that there's some sort of problem with Nvidia drivers. Specifically with the weapon debris. It was literally the only fix that worked so I think more people should know about it.

Also do tickets on the Nvidia page, maybe they'll fix it???

[Khajiirah💗🧡💛💚💜]

Thanks Comrade, i will implemwnt this too!
