Have a similar issue, the second time. Last time, I just reloaded a save game before I pushed the button and that worked, but sadly this time not. Seems like Bethesda fixed something with the "NG" update, but I play with the OG (GOG). Btw the fix from Bethesda:
"We have resolved an issue that could prevent the Vault 111 door from opening on new games in an update released on April 25th, 2024.
If you are starting a new game with Creation Club and/or Mods installed, you will need to allow the content to load before attempting to access the Vault door.
To do this, once you have acquired your Pip-Boy, open your inventory and allow your items and quests to populate. Then after closing your Pip-Boy, wait a few moments for content to finish loading. You should now be able to interact with the door.
Do not attempt to open the door before performing these steps, as it may prevent interaction with the door."
Maybe this will help you or others when playing NG version :) But looks like the fix posted here is for another issue anyway. Hopefully I find another solution somewhere...
Can confirm on a new fresh install, Using only version 2.1.5 UF4P (last updated 17 March 2023) and this fix still CTD when going up the elevator. Well it's not your fix causing it, but it doesn't fix it either. Hopefully we can find the conflict because that is the only version of the unofficial patch we can get hold of.
this ^ just fixes the intro vault 111 door getting stuck if you're crashing after going up the lift, i'm guessing you're using frik, in which case you want this frik new game fixes mod. really wish all these little patches were named after their function (door fix, lift fix) but hey it is what it is.
Hey GingasVR. I see the "no further support" info, but looking on the 2nd page of your linked article I see no reference to this. You later still mention to be sure to use this patch after the main UFP file. This leaves me befuddled and confused, with no clear idea whether or not to use this, and if so which mainline versions of UFP it supports.
This and UFO4 Patch causes my game to crash when exiting the Vault for the first time. Turning both off fixes the issue. It's only now that I realized there is an issue with this mod.
It seems that this mod is packaged with an extra folder outside of the Scripts folder.
What happens is when you install this mod, you're dropping a "Unofficial Patch VR Fix" folder inside your Data folder, and the Scripts folder is inside that INSTEAD OF just dropping the Scripts folder inside the Data folder to overwrite the necessary files.
You either have to manually install the Scripts folder yourself inside the game's Data folder. Or make a zip with the Scripts folder directly inside it and install that with your mod manager. As per instructions, install this one after the UFO4 Patch.
Hmmm... Doesn't seem to be working for me. After I hit the door button outside then walk into the circle, my screen goes black and I can't move and nothing happens (I can still access the menu though). I'm using Start Me Up and started outside the vault, fyi.

P.S. I also think that you're wicked cute.
Don't start me up Full.. That is the root of your problems. That mod has a stupid amount of issues.
Use the Lite version or don't use Start me up at all.
