Hey guys, absolutely love this game. Probably my favorite fallout. I’m playing on a 64GB ASUS ROG 16 laptop which is more than capable. I’ve played 250 hours on survival flawlessly. I haven’t had a single crash. Now however, it start crashing as I’m leaving Croydon. I reloaded an earlier save, tried again, and it worked, but I only got to Brickton and it’s starting to crash again! I’m scared since I’ve put so much time into it and since this is a new thing for this save. Very strange! Any advice?

EDIT 1: I’m reading online that there have been past reports of crashing in the Croydon/Brickton area. I didn’t see it being a major problem in this current build, but I’m going to try and get through it as fast as I can without it crashing and get out of the area. I haven’t pretty much finished that quest there. I just have to speak to Doyle, Roach, and the pox bulb “pharmacist” guy then I’ll be long gone!

EDIT 2: Fixed! I just lowered the difficulty so I could fast travel, then used a console command to re-activate survival mode. Killed the immersion for me for a while, but what can you do? 250 hours without a single crash I think knocks it out of the park for Fallout standards. Kudos to Team FOLON

For anyone else who has played survival: is it not insanely difficult? I’m level 20 and have gunslinger level 4. A lot of enemies still feel like bullet sponges and I get slaughtered one tap instantly every time by a lot of things. I still have the lab rat perk, but I have decent armor and it’s still happening. What gives? I’d understand it if I could do similar damage with my pistols but nope. I was thinking maybe I had that glitch with the combat coaster debuff but I just recently downloaded this game for the first time and it’s version 1.03 so I read online that the glitch is patched. I’m not going to give up on survival because it’s the only way I like to play fallout games but damn! It’s kicking my ass! I remember in FO4 the damage I received I could at least reciprocate.
