Can anyone give me some insight to what's making my game crash

[wildtangent]

Game is crashing within first 10 min of the game. I am in the commonwealth via "Start Me Up".

 

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

 

You may also want to post your log to the buffout support thread on the Nexus and maybe look through there to see if others have gotten the same issue.

 

I had a peek at the log, and I see that it says "Unhandled exception "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" at 0x7FFD325FE980 d3d11.dll+012E980"

 

d3d11.dll appears to be Microsoft's DirectX Direct3D 11 Runtime library in Windows.  This could point to the crash having something to do with the game / mods interaction with the graphics software / hardware on your computer. 

One thing you could do is check your graphics driver to see if it is up to date.

 

If no one else has better solutions I would recommend starting with a small core group of mods, disable everything else, and test the game for 10-15 minutes to see if you can reproduce the crash.  If it is currently crashing every time after 10 minutes, but when you disable all but the essentials and test and if it doesn't crash then, you can add a few mods at a time and test for crashing.

 

Alternatively there's the 50/50/50 method.  Take your full mod list, disable 50% of the mods and test.  If you can run for a while stable, then there may be a problem with one of the mods you disabled.  Then you would enable half of those mods and test, and keep going until you narrow it down.  Likewise, if you disable half your mods and it still crashes, disable by 50% of your mods again, and keep going until you get stability.  When you are doing this, you will want to take heed of what you are disabling, and try to not disable pre-requisites for other mods, lest you introduce more problems that muddy the water.

 

Those are just basic mod troubleshooting tips, but if the mods aren't the problem then you'd have to look within the operating system software / hardware limitation / hardware faults / ensure your modding environment is solid and you are following all of the basic modding tips such as running the game / subsequent executables as administrator, don't run any of the game / mod manager software in Windows protected folders, create antivirus exceptions for the executable and processes, etc.

Thanks for the input. I am currently looking at the support thread, and  have found some issues with some mods I am using, and a few other things I need to change. I will test these changes and go from there.
