Crash when trying to save after fast travel

Post » Sat Apr 02, 2011 5:12 pm

Hi all, first post here.

This issue just cropped up recently during my second playthrough, and previously I hadn't been having issues with saves unlike so many other people. Every time I fast travel from my current location, the game crashes when I try to save...doesn't matter whether it's a quicksave, manual save, or save using the console command. EVERY TIME. This only happens after a fast travel. I also crashes when I try to enter the new area, in this case when trying to continue Still in the Dark quest at the BoS Hidden Valley bunker...attempting to enter the bunker crashes the game. Same for entering other areas, if it involves going inside a structure.

I already deleted the auto save file in the saves folder and turned off all autosave options in the main menu, thinking that the autosave was corrupted. Didn't work. I also found one suggestion about unchecking the Read Only attribute for the saves folder, but it always gets re-flagged as Read Only after I run the game.

I running the game with the latest update and vidcard drivers (Nvidia).

I've searched for solutions and to no avail...I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled along with the latest update and still no luck (using my previous saves, but not the aforementioned deleted autosave file).

Is there a working solution for this, or any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated! TIA...
