3.4.0 Crash when Sanctuary upgrading to level 1

[Methadone]

This was also happening on 3.3.3

It crashes midway through the cinematic after around 20 seconds. Takes a little longer if I skip the cinematic.
If I let it happen in the background, it CTDs whenever I walk 100m near Sanctuary or via fast travel.

Didn't check other settlements yet.

Do you have another settlement nearby using City plan? e.g. Red rocket or abernathy farm

a thing you can do to avoid the issue atm is using the Optimized city plan released with 3.4.0

Only Abernathy farm, I think. It's not a very big settlement, and I can load into it just fine (the crash radius only extends to red rocket (literally empty in my save), so I guess Abernathy Farm is not being loaded when I'm in Sanctuary)

I'll try the optimized city plan thing and come back with results.

Also try turning off Cinematic Mode- sometimes the amount of objects that causes your game to have to draw is way too much.

I hardly think it's cinematic mode; if I let it happen when I am far away and I fast travel to Sanctuary, the game CTDs

Oh good point! I saw “crashing during Cinematic Mode” and got excited that I had an answer. Crashing is really difficult to troubleshoot- so we’re always playing a guessing game trying to find solutions/causes.
