im currently running on the latest SS2 (1.0.1c) and i keep having this weird issue where i keep crashing,Any idea why,could it be one of my addons for ss2 causing this?
 
If you have lots of plots built to high level or just the buildings updating this can cause crashes. The triangle of death is a given crash producer if you have built city plans (or lots of plots by hand) in two or three of Sanctuary - Red Rocket - Abernathy (since in several places the game loads all these cells at the same time).

Easiest to test if it's the addons is to make a backup save and then temporarily disable just them and see if this lets you load in. If it does, that still doesn't necessarily mean there are bugs in the addon packs, it can also be that there are conflicts between them and other mods in your load order (that make edits to vanilla forms that the building plans use) preventing meshes or material files from loading, causing crashes. Figuring that out is more time consuming but can be done.

ill try doing that,i also realise now that everytime ive save near OR at Sanctuary,Red Rocket,quit the game and load back in,ill CTD,idk why ill just CTD out of the bat.this is fraustrating cause now i cant even Play anymore from all the quest ive completed...
 
So many scripts are running inside a settlement, updating all the data, and on top of that the game needs to process all the actions of the npcs. If you have a game that is already slightly unstable (very easy both with the engine as it is and the mods we add) - if you can it's best to always save and reload outside of settlements, to get the scripts a chance to finish and clean up.
 
yup saving outside of the settlement works,however tats going be slightly annoying,i have also read up the article of the triangle of death and one particular sentence got me is that "Be very selective of what settlements you choose to build as a Rise of the Commonwealth city plan. DO NOT try to build all three settlements in the Triangle of Death in the same playthrough, and DEFINITELY don’t try to build all three from scratch at the same time. The same goes for Warwick Homestead, Spectacle Island (while vanilla SS does not include a city plan for this location, plans are available in other mods), and The Castle." Does that mean It is Not Recommend to use a city planner at abernathy farm,RR gas station and Sanctuary at the same time? (ive already have assign a leader at Albernalty and Sanctuary)
 
Definitely don't build in all three settlements in the same save unless you have a monster system. Even then you are constrained by the limits of the 5-year old game itself. Choose one of the settlements for a city plan, build on your own in one (carefully, keeping track on when things start going wonky, settlers stop moving, the workshop numbers fail to update etc), and leave the third alone or only add maybe one settler for a supply line.

all right gotcha,Thanks for all the advice!Seems thats the main issue of why i was getting CTD everytime i load into Sanctuary or Near by it.
