I'm not getting this, but three times now after I've fast traveled I get a CTD the first time I try to enter VATS. I'm going to try a hard reboot, and fast travel somewhere else first and see if I can clear this, but it's frustrating. The game was working fine before the forced patching.
Tried everything. Removed all mods, didn't fast travel, etc. Still crashed on VATS.
Finally launched only from the "Play Now" button on the patch installer in Steam, and that worked. Playing OK now. Mods back on.
