After beating chapter 1 on the XSX and building one plot for each available type, I am experiencing frequent crashes in the triangle of death area. In fact, it is running worse than the old game. I am about to try performance mode to see if that makes it playable but I fear this game as always will be plagued by crashes.
SS2 has never performed so poorly for me with the exception of a PC playthrough where I grossly increased build limits at Sanctuary, Red Rocket, and Abernathy Farm. Eventually they got so big Sanctuary could not load. I am still well within default build limits and have not built anything at Red Rocket at all.
None of my recent saves made in Sanctuary load at all! Every one freezes on the load screen but at least the new and improved next gen update simply locks up instead of playing the loading animation so now it is possible to know when the game freezes.
When loading a save made at Red Rocket I received a notice that another script had overwritten something breaking Workshop Framework. I find this odd because I already installed Workshop Framework Script Override which is last in my load order as directed. Something has broken both WF and the script override. This might have something to do with an odd observation I made last night in Sanctuary where only search appeared as a selectable option when centering my cursor over the workshop.
PARTIAL WORK AROUND: Load an older save from a different location on the map then load your latest save. The latest save will probably load just fine but for whatever reason the save probably will freeze if loaded from the main menu. I've also disabled Place Anywhere and can view all Workshop options when placing my cursor over the Workshop. I only used Place Anywhere to build at The Castle due to a collision bug which makes placing objects on floors in the hallways and rooms impossible.
