Yeah me too, bloody annoying as well considering VATS is a big part of the game. But I always laugh to myself when I lose that previous 2 hours of game time and have to start again! Ah the joys
"...You don't save every thirty minutes out of habit?"
I play on hard rather than survival because I have a habit of quicksaving every 5 minutes. My game has crashed from mods so often, that even if it runs well 9/10 times for hours before anything happens, I still won't trust it for more than a few minutes.
Disabling messages 'parched, hungry, tired etc. during combat helps a lot. I don't remember exactly how i did it, I do remember using Mod Configuration Menu. Best solution is already mentioned Vats freeze fix. I've also allowed myself to use quick save in survival, there are several mods for that. In case my game crashes, I load the quick save, if I die, I load previous proper save (sleep).
@modio125 this mod doesn't fix the ctds, it fixes the infinite freezes during combat. if your game closes to desktop, get buffout 4 and use that to try finding and solving the problem.
This issue is related to multithreading and resource sharing. If I make a mod that crashes the game upon freeze, the crash log will just point at my mod because it only prints out the stack and registers for the thread that caused the crash. During your gameplay, the game spawns numerous threads (usually over 20+) so it's nonsensical to print out information of all threads either. This is why I didn't make alternate versions or make it print more info in the logs. I'm gonna sticky this since others might ask for this feature as well.
I'm not exaggerating; it took me over 5 hours to do a single firefight because I kept freezing. I'm playing on Next-Gen, 200+ mods, and overall the best playthrough I've had yet. If you're having the same issue on Next-Gen, downloading the following 2 mods saved me. I was about to throw away a lvl 104 permadeath survival playthrough and downgrade to use this mod.
I hope you're doing well, thank you for releasing this essential mod!. I'm looking forward to when you get the free time to update this mod for NG. Thanks and take care.
before finding this mod, i would ALWAYS get freezes especially during combat or during intensive scenarios which was very frustrating to the point of considering just giving up the game.
after installing this mod, i have NEVER experienced freezes ever again, aside from the occasional CTD from some mod conflicts. Truly game changing for me. Endorsed. Thank you for saving my Fo4 Experience.
This is an essential, life-saving mod. I would randomly get freezes especially during combat, but I was able to play for about 1.5 hours today with no freezing. Thank you!!!

I'm expecting more hotfixes to come so I won't be able to update it for a while.
Thanks.
Q: Hey your mod is broken. I get "REL/Relocation.h(600): failed to open: Data/F4SE/Plugins/version- 1-10-163-0.bin" upon start
A: Install Address Library. I've stated that it's a requirement.

It might be worthwhile to have an alternate version force a crash in the event of a lock up to see if Buffout can detect a fix for the conflict.

Desperately need this for NG!

Baka ScrapHeap - Script Memory Limit Expander
Baka MaxPapyrusOps
Now I'll notice a stutter where the game would previously freeze, and then gameplay continues like normal.
ive had the vats freeze and ctd when entering/leaving buildings since the next gen update, and no mods i could find fixed it
until now
i love you!

Thank you jarari, from the bottom of my irradiated corpse's heart.
I think I'm screwed.
