Game crashes when entering Diamond City

I’m running into an issue while attempting to go into Diamond City. After having the conversation with piper and the Mayor, trying to go into the city crashes the game. I also tried going in via the elevator to the mayors office but that didn’t work either. I had a similar issue when attempting to go into Abernathy’s farm. I found if I enter it from the south and slowly going in, I could enter. The crash at DC happens while in the loading screen. Anyone have some thoughts? I’m kind of stuck at this point as to what options I have. I really don’t have a ton of mods. Only the unofficial patch the hud and framework mod as well as the settlement mod. Turning off the mods allows me to enter but obviously I can’t turn the mods back on without corrupting the save. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So I think I may have found the issue. I was playing around and noticed my video settings were off. I really didn’t notice the game tried to auto set the video and I guess didn’t do a very good job of it. I went back to set the video quality to the ultra settings and my crashing seems to have stopped at least for now. I was at least able to enter diamond city and do what I need to progress there.
 
Well wrote this too soon. Now I'm crashing while going to castle. Not sure why as I had been there several times. I get within about even to the diner where you meet Preston and it just crashes. Not sure what is causing it. Anyone have some thoughts what to try?
 
Sure, so it is the following (and loaded into this order):
Unofficial Fallout patch version 2.1.1a,
HUDFramework v 1.0f,
WorkshopFramework v 2.0.6,
Sim Settlements 2 v1.0.2.
I've ran into the same issue with using either Vortex to load everything up or going through Fallout 4 mod's engine. It just seems odd. It is definitely a cell issue, but the cell seems to move around. At the beginning of the game, it was Abernathy Farm. Then it was Diamond City. Now the Castle. Can't seem to pinpoint the problem. For now, I'm going to continue to work through the Sim Settlements questline. I was able to go in and out of DC to talk to The Ron. No issues there. I don't have a ton of mods and I know it is a mod issue as if I take the mod off, I can go right into the castle no issue. Obviously that flat out breaks the game so I can't use that as a long term solution. I've tried going into the castle as many different ways as I can think of, but each time it just flat out crashes. For now, it isn't a huge issue as the Sim Settlement quest line hasn't sent me to the castle. Maybe if it does, I'll be able to go back. I've even tried deleting and reinstalling the game and mods. If someone has some ideas, I'm game.

Wow, only those 4 mods? Yeah definitely something funky going on. The game should be near rock solid for stability with just those.
Ever had any other mods installed before?
Did you uninstall mods on that save?
 
Nope, this was a fresh install. Hadn't even installed Fallout 4 on this PC yet. Actually haven't played Fallout on PC ever to be honest. Unless you count my days playing Fallout 1 and 2. I disabled the mods and was able to access the areas that have been causing issues. I tried to go into the area and create a new save then re-enabled the mod. That didn't work as the save was messed up. I kind of figured that would happen, but it was worth a shot. I even uninstalled the game and deleted all files then re-downloaded everything. It seems odd on my part. As I was reading the forum on the various reasons for crashing, the physics/LOD crash appears to be what is causing the issue. The problem is repeatable and will happen pretty much at the same spot. Not sure why the problem has "moved", but it does seem to be close. I've been able to get close enough to the castle to be able to see some of the things I had built (mortars and some automated turrets). I've tried waiting at that spot for some time thinking maybe if I move in slowly it will work, but nope. I am running on Survival so fast travel technically isn't an option. I did try turning that off to see if that was the issue (back when I was having the Diamond City issue) but it still crashed.

When you reinstalled you did turn off weapon debris correct? That is the only other random crash that frequent I can think of.

I been helping people for years with issues and getting one corrupt cell is really uncommon, get multiple in the same game is like winning the lottery multiple times. Unless you have something causing it like a bad mod, which you dont.

No, where do I turn off weapon debris?

It is in your graphics options when you used the normal launcher (rather than F4SE) on the little window that first pops up.

Most people can not even make it out of pre-war Sanctuary with the setting on. I was able to get by that a few games, but I suffered a lot of random CTDS. Then my next new game I could not make it out of pre-war Sanctuary.
 
delete Your entire game deletes your ini s from documents my games fallout 4 just keep the saves and move them to a new folder named what ever you want. Validate go to steam uninstall game. Now move your steam stuff from programs x86 or what ever it’s called to just regular old programs so looks like this c: programs / steam / steam apps / common / fallout 4. Reason being is that running in the programs x86 path can cause issues. Nor uninstall vortex from the pc then reinstall to the c: programs file path start vortex click search for games it should find it if not set the pathing.

redownload the mods move your save files back to my games fallout 4 same place the new ini files are at. Also in vortex make sure the validate old files stuff is set up. start up fallout 4 select your video settings try and load up your save see if it’s cool or not.

steam and games and mod organizers need to be in the regular old programs section of the drive also make sure your antivirus is not cock blocking vortex by allowing it past the firewall. this should get the game running in its best case scenario.

before you ask I ran into all this when running Skyrim se and trying to run dyndolod and having my file paths and windows antivirus acting like dumbasses forcing me to figure this all out the hard way.

This is also an issue if using any of the rtx video cards and potentially the gtx 1500 and above cards if you want to use weapon derbies there’s a mod that fixes it for newer graphics cards but it’s best to just turn it off as the stock bullet holes overlays do a good job by them selfs.
 
Ok, thank you. I did check and Weapon debris is turned off. Now, I do not have steam games loaded into the C:\ as I have a separate SSD disk to hold my game files. I did notice a video card driver update last night that I've since downloaded and installed. I haven't checked since then to see if that helped or not. I'll let you know.

Yeah as long as it’s not loaded on the same place windows is loaded to it’s all good.
 
So loaded the updated driver and lo and behold the crashing has stopped at least for now. Granted, other areas started working after some time like Abernathy Farm and Wicked Shipping. Not sure if it will come back or not. I have kind of noticed a small trend in that some of the areas that I was having issues with started working as I worked through some of the quest line. Not sure if that is the issue or not. Granted, I've only gotten as far as the Vis-O-Matic so not sure if the Castle is part of any of the quest line. I did notice one of the quest "Aint nothing but a hound dog" is no longer a quest I can make active. I had at one time tried to do that but April Li didn't appear where the quest marker was saying she should be. I saw a dog and that was it. I didn't think anything of it and figured it was a small bug. Now I can't even make it active but it still appears in my quest log. Maybe that was the problem at the Castle. Who knows.

that quest wasn't supposed to activate in part 1 so it was removed. and yeah the nvidia drivers probably the last 4 besides the newest one where all garbage.
 
Добрый вечер. У меня сейчас тоже возникла проблема с посещением. Даймонд Сити. Вылет на загрузочном экране. Порядок модов на скриншоте.

Моя проблема заключалась в драйверы видеокарты. Я не видел проблемы с тех пор, как обновил видеокарту (nVidia 1660).
Драйвер видеокарты GeForce 920м стоит последний 425.31. И я не понимаю почему вылет. Как минимум дважды даймонд сити уже был посещён. а сейчас вылет. Печалька. Новую игру как то не очень тянет начинать, потому что как ядер мир уже пройден да и уровень персонажа приличный. ОС windows 8.1 64 битная.
