CTD. Can not save game. Crash upon saving

[icladel]

So, I got back into FO4 three weeks ago and started the game over three times in this period.  The issue I have is CTD when I save. This goes for auto save, sleep save, quick save, Horizons mod save devices, and manual save. Any form of attempted saving will result in a CTD.

 

What is infuriating is that absolutely nothing changes; not my game updates, not my mods, not my load order. I launch from F4SE in MO2 and have Steam updates disabled and offline.
 

Each new character that I make starts off with no problems; no in game CTD, no loading CTD...just perfect. All is well and suddenly I get the dreaded "CTD on save".

Its only until I get up to the point of that first CTD on save that it breaks a whole string of saves behind it. 

 

I have taken the following steps to attempt a fix:

- Diagnosed every mod on the save by doing the activate/deactivate one by one method.

- Used the "clean save" method with testing of each mod on an older working save (it takes so fucking long and its tedious watching fucking Bethesdas logo 9999 times)

- Used Fallrim tools for orphan script removal.

- Validated Steam files

 

None of the above have worked and as soon as I get that first CTD on save, the game/character is fucked.

 

However I have noticed a trend. This first crash on save ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF GAME. I.e. Each character/game has fucked up after the first 24 save hours. It could be 1day+1min, or 1day+25min, or FO4's most recent record, 1day+2hours+1min. 

 

My mods are not the issue as far as diagnosis can tell.  My base folder game files have never corrupted.

Does anyone have advice or solutions?

I've tried almost every method available on the forums but to no avail.

 

To resonate with Bethesda: It just DOESN'T work !

Could it be a problem with the size of your savegames? If it occurs after a specific time, then it could be because your safes got to large to load.

I don't think its the file size as only reach a maximum of 24 MB. Loading is actually working very well and has never crashed. The problem is that I can not save; additionally from the 24 hour limit trend, its as if something is limiting a game playthrough to 24 hours.

Note: Its not playing the game for 24 hours straight but rather the length of the character being 24 hours.

I believe I had a similar problem in Skyrim, where my game would sometimes CTD when I quicksaved. Can you try to play a game without any mods? If that won't work, then maybe you have to reinstall the game.

 

But before doing that I would look for other help.

Your load order.

Better to sort using LOOT or Xedit or if both which one first?

LOOT is not always dependable.

 

Better to load all plugins in xEdit and check for conflicts.
