This is a very frustrating problem, perhaps someone knows something about it. I'm following the "make a vault" tutorial and am at the point where it's time to run through the basic layout in-game. However, I can only go a short ways before the game black-screens for a millisecond, seemingly returns to normal, then immediately CTDs. I am at a loss as to why this is happening. Any ideas?

The my first vault tutorial series is really meant to be done with the FO3 GECK so that could be a big part of it, I have read that the vault rusted pieces a buggered in the NV GECK right now. I would suggest using the normal vault pieces instead of the rusted ones maybe that will help :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I was using the normal (ALT) vault pieces in this particular cell. Are there other tileset pieces that are unusable (maybe it's not just the rusted pieces)? Is there a list somewhere of things that won't work in the NV GECK?

To clarify, there is an unconfirmed rumor from another first time user, that the rusted vault pieces do not work. It would be worthwhile to confirm this, but let's not take it as a fact yet. This tileset is widely used in the game. Unfortunately there is no list of pieces that don't work, as far as we know they all work the same. If anybody knows of a list, we should get it added to the pinned faq, which does contain some recent findings.
