[PC] Can't load Saved Game or Start new Game after latest Patch

Bugs
#1

Title says it all. Game loads up just fine, but when i go to load a save (even much older, prior saves), the game crashes to desktop. I then tried to start a new game and same effect (i.e., crash to desktop). Is anyone else experiencing this? In all transparency, I am running a few mods. That said, does the game have any sort of crash log that I could check to see if one of the mods is causing a problem?

Thanks for your help. I apologize in advance if this post does not belong on the forum.

EDIT: Problem solved. It was the lockpick mod. Sadly, that was one of my favorites. I do not use very many mods, but for some reason that one was causing me the issue.

Try removing the mods and see if the problem persists. If it is cleared w/o the mods, add one mod at a time to see which is the culprit. Tedious, I know, but informative. Patch 1.6 & 1.6.2 has played havoc with many mods since the majority of them have not been updated in several months and are essentially abandoned by their authors and cause many problems in game. The Ashes DLC also messes with mods in that the mods stop the DLC from running properly.

Some of the more notorious mods are the Easy lockpicking, Cheat ,using the own all stolen items command, Infinite save mod more random Enounters mod.

Thanks. I’ll give that a try. I was afraid that might be the issue.

I have the same issue and thought maybe it was a mod I was using so I started up playline #3 with no mods. And the moment I finished the quest to speak with Ginger: every save post that moment crash’s my game to desktop. So, vanilla game, no mods, end of ginger questline. No way to get past this other than playing straight through and I don’t have the time to do that. Any suggestions or is this the game breaking bug I think it is?

Hmm, I’m not sure. I did as longshot300mag suggested and removed my mods, then tried them again, one by one. Fortunately I wasn’t using that many mods, so I figured out that it was the lockpick mod.

Yea, that was one of the mods I had on playline 2 (that and the save game mod )… I wanted to play a theif and I suck at this games version of lockpicking :slight_smile: But playline 3 has zero mods and the exact same thing is happening. I usually save the game just before killing the two bandits. That save still works. And the save that the game automatically does at the very end of talking to ginger still works. But the save from 15 minutes later after I’m telling captian (bossman I call him ) about ginger the the limping dude… I try to load that save and the game crashes to desktop. It’s frustrating as hell, because I’m about 7 hours ( I played a long while yesterday) past that. None of the 10 saves I have after ending the Ginger questline works. Mods or no mods.

I have this problem as well. I have the save game mod, and lockpicking mod. I’ve tryied removing both together and separate. Still not working. Any help? I’ve had to restart before already because of this.

For me, it was the lockpick mod. Sadly. Because that was one of my favorites. Make sure you take it completely out of your mods folder. And if you have the .pak file in the Data folder, remove that as well. Hope this helps!

Still not working. Please someone help me, I really don’t want to restart.
