Ok so I know some of the community(including me) suffered from some CTD's. Well I fixed mine, and here's how.

First of all I downloaded the AMD Driver Autodetect tool from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool I then ran the tool and it found some outdated drivers and proceeded to download new ones for me. Well it downloaded and installed the new drivers, after which I restarted the computer.

I then went to Steam >> Library >> Fallout 4(Click with right mouse button) >> Properties >> Betas. I then clicked the dropdown menu for selecting betas and selected beta 1.1.3.0 Beta Update. Steam then downloaded a 60mb patch of sorts, and after that it was smooth sailing. This is what worked for me, and if it works for you, then please tell me! Happy playing fellow Fallout 4'ians.

Hey everybody,

I was getting occasional crashes that became more and more frequent until there was just no way to play the game at all, barring reverting back to the original INIs... which meant, of course, no mods.

Eventually, after a lot of pain and suffering (and re-downloads and re-installs) I worked out what was happening and how to fix it. Here's the step-by-step:

  1. Open NMM
  2. Click on each mod, one at a time, and click the icon on the left to 'Disable' it.
  3. Go to Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonFallout 4Data
  4. It should ONLY have TWO FOLDERS: Video and Strings... so delete anything else that might have been left over. This is what's been crashing your game.
  5. Launch Fallout 4 and load a few games just to make sure it isn't crashing.
  6. Quit Fallout 4.
  7. In NMM, reinstall just a few of your mods and then load your games, make sure they aren't crashing.
  8. Repeat the last step until you're back up and running.

This is generally going to do it. Here are a few things others have suggested that you can also try if the above doesn't work:

  • Run FOMM to sort the load order and get a sense of any known conflicts.
  • Check your mods for compatibility patches.
  • Load a previous game, make sure it's not just a corrupted save file.
  • Sleep for a week in-game, let all the cells reset themselves.
  • In Steam, right-click on Fallout 4, go to Properties, and tell it to Verify the Cache... it usually finds a file or two that was 'corrupted' (NOTE: you'll have to re-do your settings and re-customize your INIs if you do this!)
  • Uninstall / Reinstall
