I'm pretty sure the Commonwealth loads when you step on the elevator and exit the menu. I got pretty familiar with that stuff when making my fast startup mod, but sadly, my memory of the details is fading. I'm pretty sure that spot triggers a stage on MQ102, which in turn triggers a game save. It might trigger other quests to startup as well.so on the catwalk FPS drop my theory on this is when you take that last step out of the vault and get that FPS hit is when the commonwealth loads, before this happens you had came from the sanctuary world space prewar. Can’t prove it but I think instead of loading the commonwealth while your sleeping in the pod it loads last min on the way out just before the vault exit.
I know a stage is set on MQ102 when the elevator animation completes and you are blinded by the sun. That stage starts up radio stations like Diamond City Radio.
