Primary Bug Report Laying Foundations - CTD while Jake is building tutorial Residential Plot

[ChineseAssassN]

Game crashes in first mission while talking to stranger and in settlement after placing the 2x2 residential plot with SS 2 being the only mod downloaded with cheat terminal on Xbox one.

Mine too. Somehow I got past it on one play through. Then when I got to the farm plot, the stranger won’t finish building the plot.
Reverted to a much earlier game and it started crashing at the first build quest every time. Tried starting in sanctuary, starlight and red rocket. Crashed for each one multiple times.

 

[Johns375]

Yes, same problem for me, the stranger pretends to be a settler then says the plot is checking for resources & then the games crashes, I see no way past this, I've reloaded the game 3 times, I guess I will wait for the next patch, the mod looks cool though
Also I am playing on a standard Xbox one

Same problem for me.

I started the quest at tenpinea bluff and it worked. Crashes at starlight, sanctuary, red rocket.

Were you able to continue with Sim Settlements after it worked at Tenpines?
I've tried placing the plot at Red Rocket for a random settler with the same crash.

So far so good. Just putting down the agricultural plot so we’ll see if I run into another issue.

I stand corrected. Now the stranger won’t continue the quest after I put down the agriculture plot. Just keeps telling me to put it wherever I like...

 

[Coolibah]

Thanks for the update Johns375.
I'm still making my way down to Corvega to unlock Tenpines (I'm no speed-runner)
Luckily I'm quite fond of the early game.

This may be fixed with the hotfix that was just posted. Just make sure you are downloading Version 3 if you are on xBox.

 

[Chef]

Hotfix is posted for xBox. Should be Version 3.

 

[Coolibah]

As of updating to version 3 the stranger has built the plot in Sanctuary and the plot is progressing to Concord.
I'm so happy and excited!
Huge thanks to Kinggath and the whole dev team, you guys are amazing.

Kinggath uploaded a video to youtube about the fix.

I feel bad because Kinggath sounds more apologetic, for making an incredibly minor and easily fixed mistake, than most triple A game dev companies. These mods are always works of art and I hope no one on the team thinks we were at all angry about this minor issue. So far it looks great and works great :D

 

[Coolibah]

I know what you mean, I was keeping my comments brief as I considered them error reporting but I hope no-one found them curt.

Question: Will we need to uninstall the Mod then reinstall to make it work? Or will it just update?

 

[Chef]

It should just update and be fine. They'll need to move it back to the appropriate spot in their load order after though, since updates are dropped to the bottom of the load order

 

[Rayhne]

So I've set up the beacon and was chatting with Jake when bam! CTD. Off to try again but does anyone else have this happen?

 

[Levin]

KG is aware of that crash on xBox and has a fix that will be posted later today.

Just update

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. I am new to forums in general. I was able to track down why the stranger never finishes his plot - at least in my game. I had player interactions and head tracking mod installed, and this seemed to interrupt the stranger while he was working on the plot. I was able to toggle it off and he finished the plot after I loaded an earlier save. I was curious and tried talking to the stranger while he was working on the plot and this interrupted him and broke him as well. So if you leave him alone and back up a bit he seems to work just fine.

 

[Levin]

i have tested a lot of things in calm then to talk to him while he builds i walked away or teleported me away it is different with many because it only crashes from farm or industry translated by Google

 

[Rayhne]

Went through it again and this time got through it, though I ended up with two ASAM sensors there. Minor thing.
