Got FO3 on GoG, almost never crashed. Got the stabilizing mod for NV, still crashed...but less!
Akule
Due to mods, huh?
Not due to the game itself, right Todd?
Badgerbadgerson3
.....you ever realize after the fact that there were some VERY big signs you were heavily depressed? Fallout is my favorite game series by far, and before I checked in to the first facility I went to, I tried playing Fallout 2 and didn't feel ANYTHING.

More accurate: Man sad, man downloads 900 mods for Fallout, man spends hours sorting out load order and bug fixes to mods, man loads fallout, man plays fallout for five minutes, man gets bored and goes to play something else.

Mod Fallout, life good. Mod fight back, KILL FALLOUT. Fallout gone, think about mod... Regret...

Fallout 4 on Xbox has never crashed on me, Fallout 76 had some issues when I’d get out of the power armor and could not move until armor automatically went to inventory (Game has you wait 1:30) but in that time there’s a slight chance of being disconnected

Mods? Some of you didn't play Fallout on a ps3 and is shows.
StygionAbyss
This time I cut it down to 150 mods
JARNSB
Man gets up and takes a walk outside to work out the frustration. Goes back inside and start Fallout 4 again. Man escapes reality.
ManOfEvil93
im sad i cant play Fallout NV on Ps5
ProperHomeless
New Vegas does this due to coding/memory issue. Walk through enough doors in one sitting and the game craps out. Always be saving.
Leithoa
Man plays New Vegas, Woman saves the wasteland.
randomdragon
Personally I've had pretty good luck just running on YUP. What I tend to have instead are intermittent cases where a save freezes up when being loaded.
Varrick
There is 1 mod that just upgrades the graphics ever so slightly that once installed never crashed on me again.
RadioSilenceDW
How? Honestly in most programming languages even then garbage collection was an automated process, it would be needless work to turn it off
valkyriepalmtree
I always have like 5-7 revolving saves for any Bethesda game
Badgerbadgerson3
There's a MUCH more convenient fix. Turn off saving at doors and fast travel and it cuts down on 95% of crashes.
FoamingToad
Have played New Vegas since release date, with mods after it had been out a few years. Over 800 hours, all achievements. I think I can honestly say I've never had a CTD from it. Certainly don't ever remember having one, and never turned off auto save. YMMV.
RaynWisp
Saving at doors and during fast travel is the only reason my machine isn't in a pile of shattered scrap.
ProperHomeless
I owe you some start caps traveler, thanks for the tip!
Erulogos
Funny enough, there are a couple of mods that can be used together to mostly fix that. It's the other side of modding, some crash your game, some fix the crashes that Bethesda never bothered to.
yepwatermelon
To mod Fallout: New Vegas to the point it crashes on startup is human. To mod Fallout: New Vegas to the point that you can at least get 30-60 minutes of play time in before it crashes and you have to relaunch is divine.

Man reinstall mods correctly/install patches/fix load order.
Man happy.
bohjeenie
Mods? Fallout crashes because of Bethesda.
I only played FO3 without mods, and it was an intense labor of love continuously restarting the game.
vandude9090
crashing > freezing
jammer909
That reminds me... I gotta play more Armored Core today.
RedTwoX
Man needs to get his shit together and sort the load order.
liamwayne101
And avoids mods that expand settlement size... so much promise, so much risk...
PimpinKen
My problem is going from windows to Linux and not remembering all the mods for my cloud save on steam
SafarimanHubertLegrange
I feel attacked lol. Haven't played in a couple years, had the urge again but been putting it off as that took me more than a couple of goes to get right last time...
HereticNoNumber
The man needs a name.
webx9001
I was just doing this today after installing a mod that corrupted my save file.
Bossco20
Game crashes without mods for me all the time. Get in an elevator? Wow, slow down! Got too close to the city? Oh god! Ghoul attack? Suggestion on submitting a report.
3Davideo
Why look at the load order of mods when you can look at the load order of bullets?
thetinymonarch
I have genuinely been considering designing a new L.O.O.T. program with network to slowly generate a perfect load order
MagicalScientist
Honestly I think it would be easier to just contribute data to LOOT, because that's the reason it doesn't work as well for the Fallout games. Because there just hasn't been as much data submitted vs TES games.
TheGhostOfFutureDisappointments
I mean, if you have nothing better to do, then please yes.
FartsSmellBad
I'm running a playthrough with 837 mods right now. Almost never crashing so far
AshenAstoran
Meanwhile I can't play A game right now because my PC restarts itself with no bsod when I'm gaming. New pc build too.
GeneralWho
Windows 11 had some major issues with a recent update, so that's another potential issue to throw into the mix if that's what you're on. Make sure those and GPU drivers are updated if you haven't already.
KentKnifen
Everyone is jumping to the PSU as the culprit way to quickly. Check your thermals to start.
InfocalypseRising
I had a machine like that. Kept crashing and restarting itself for seemingly no reason. Sent it back to the manufacturer, they sent it back still broken, basically told me to fuck myself when I complained. Ultimately had to badger Amazon for a refund (which they did actually give me with relatively little pushback)
FartsSmellBad
Sucks. Hope you work through it. Check temps, HQLs, drivers, etc
HappyHourThief
Had this problem a few years ago with my buddy's PC. It was overheating.
aducksayswhat
In my experience no BSOD indicates a PSU issue. Get some hardware monitoring that can log to disc like hwinfo, and after a crash take a look at the last minute before the log ends. It should be a big CSV that you can dump into a spreadsheet and make pretty graphs with so you hopefully can see a smoking gun (12V out of spec, etc). Stuff like RAM can be stress tested, and if it's stable then it shouldn't have any errors.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Most likely your PSU.
Kyrorayne
Is it a 13th or 14th gen Intel cpu? My computer did that with an i-9 13900. So I went with AMD and no problems. Also, open the case up and make sure everything is seated correctly.
LewdLuteGoblin
From years of playing FNV: always always save cause it’ll crash. Then start again, and big iron on his hip
A12Roadrunner
I'd say 70% of my mods for New Vegas are bug fixes, anti-crash, and performance boosters. The rest are restoring cut content and QoL stuff. Crashes and bugs are incredibly infrequent, and the gameplay experience isn't being held back by the hardware of the PS3/360.
modus0
I found FNV to be very buggy even *without* mods. And depending on the mods, they can actually make it a bit more stable.
Nagodreth
It annoys me that Bethesda catches all the blame for bugs in NV despite NV being even buggier than Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 while Obsidian gets all the credit despite being handed an entire game worth of assets to use.
modus0
Well, it was using Bethesda's game engine, which is known to be inherently unstable. Though it wouldn't surprise me if many of the problems were from Obsidian's team not being familiar enough with the software.
RyvaTheRenamon
Honestly it's probably somewhere along 50/50. The Creation Engine is notoriously unstable but it's also uniquely modifiable. You can do so much with it once you figure out the quirks.
Akintunde
Due to mods? Game crashes on its own just fine.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
As is the Bethesda way. I picked up 4 again with a relatively minimal number of mods and still get crashes. Sometimes within 20 minutes of playing, sometimes after a few hours.
Jettbass666
In the built up downtown area behind Good neighbour. Every time.
NearHereThere
Same : (
modus0
It's like a rule with Bethesda's Creation Engine games: The base game *WILL* be buggy and crash-prone, no amount of patching by the company will prevent it or significantly reduce it.
AbsolutelyDramaticNutjob
Which is bloody annoying, because I was enjoying Starfield until I got the The Lodge Crash Bug. It still happened on a new save about a month and some ago.
LeSethX
I haven't been able to beat any Fallout game past Fallout 3 due to crashing or taking longer, and longer to load the world the more I explore
echonite
Ive had virtually no crashes that didnt have clear causes... soo.
FirePrinceZuzu
I remember Fallout 3 crashing cause it couldn't handle dual core. "My" mother's bare legs are forever imprinted in my brain because of it :/

richtification
FirePrinceZuzu
Yes. Very much it. Thank you, Bethesda, for the psychiatrist bills.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
LOL it took me a second too. They're talking about the intro scene, the one that starts with the player character being born.
FirePrinceZuzu
Yep. The game froze there more times than advised for my mental health.
