CreateTexture2D CTD in SS2 settlement?

[jtzako]

I'm having a crash issue when I try to load any save in Sanctuary (my only SS2 settlement at the moment). I'm not sure what the cause is exactly but since it is the only place with SS2 assets I figured I should ask here. SS2 and some of its addons are also the only new additions to my game. (previous playthroughs I used the original SS but it is not loaded for this one)

The error is a CreateTexture2D error according to buffout4. I get no crash log from it though, just the popup box with the warning after the CTD.

If I load a save that is not in Sanctuary (even in nearby RR) it seems to work fine. I can also walk in and out of the settlement, use crafting stations and sleep in a bed without trouble.

Can you post your load order?

Here's the load order generated by the MO2 version of LOOT. Modified since the Pip Boy CC one and the ones below it have to be way down and LOOT doesnt do that correctly.

I did some further troubleshooting to attempt to narrow this down.
The save file(s) that wont load have been cleaned with ReSaver but this doesnt help with the CTD.
I can load a 'broken' save if I load directly from Steam which has no mods enabled.
I went through MO2 disabling a few addons at a time (just the ESP/ESL/ESM checkboxes)
It appears the CTD is related to CWSS not SS2. I'm not sure why since that mod always worked fine in the past, but at least I know what it is now.

Were you able to determine if it was a conflict? Or if it was just an issue with CWSS alone?

Also, looking at your load order, do you think you could have broken precombines with scrap everything?

The testing I did was to disable several mods at a time until I found a batch that, when disabled, would let the game load. Then narrowed it down to CWSS. I've been playing for a while, including loading saves in Sanctuary which I could not previously do at all. If it is a conflict I would have expected the game to load when some other addon was disabled and CWSS was still enabled.

I've never had an issue with scrap everything in many playthroughs so I doubt it was that mod.

Scrap Everything allows the player to break precombines, and the triangle of settlements at Abernathy, Red Rocket, and Sanctuary are usually the first to go if the player is not fully aware of what they are breaking. When used by itself or with minor settlement mods, most rigs can handle it for a while and you may never see an issue. If using it with SS2 though (or SS1) it could definitely cause even a high end gaming PC to struggle.

Hard to pinpoint the issue for sure since mod lists can run deep. But at least it seems as though you made some progress on your own with CWSS.
