stalinx20,
 
A side note. I had issues a while back and ended up removing FO 4 and then reinstalling it. I had the saves still present and I was fortunate that I didn't lose any data.

I tried that. I erased FO4 and reinstalled it, but it was still crashing, but I also still had the mods installed. Once I erased the mods, and reinstalled the game, it went away, but I tested it with a new character. I will see what happens if I load my existing character.

I know what it's like to be in your spot. Nobody wants to lose that which you worked err played hard to get. LOL I hope it works for you.

It damaged my thumb pretty bad as I was tring to pull the burning wires out of the case. LOL  The Swiftech pump is toast, literally.
 
I've been waiting two days now for a response from Swiftech. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. The wiring on Swiftech pumps short out quite frequently where they enter the housing.
 
 

 
Are you sure it's toast? Did you try some peanut butter and jam on it? LOL
 
I'm thinking they are not like EVGA. You may have to spam them to get their attention. Hopefully nothing else is bad due to the bad pump.

From what I have read you can not quick save in survival mode. Only sleeping in a bed works and fast travel is disabled. I want to try it out now but that could have been a mod I was looking at also...

 
If what you say is fact, I think I will take a pause on that idea for awhile. Man that looks a lot tougher than I thought it would be.
 
 
I just did a little reading about survival mode and considering that they are going to allow weight to be added to ammunition I will take a longer pause than initially stated earlier.

I'll pass on the survival mode challenge.   I play to relax and I can see myself ranting at the screen non stop when a rad roach and a mole rat stomp me into the dirt.  

watch out for rats attached with bombs to them. As far as saving, you can save any time.

My level 55 character doesn't break a sweat on survival mode, when he is carrying his "double shot" bolt action .50 cal rifle. He's also packed with a .308 bolt action rifle which adds energy damages. He was being shot at by that drone which has 2 mini guns attached to it, and maneuvers around by 3 wheels (you know what I'm talking about?) and then with a turret on top of the building... Yeah. They didn't stand a chance. I have Cait with a custom shotgun with that "quick release drum". I have a lot of modifications in my gear that I found in the game which I customized to make my character stronger.
 
However, my level 5 character on survival doesn't survive more than 15 seconds   
 
I have to add that Cait loves her grenades...

I never noticed that with Cait but she did like using rockets a lot. I had to take her rocket launcher away from her for her own good. She was using it in close quarters combat and blowing herself up all of the time. It's good thing she never found a Fat Man. I got tired of using all of my Stimpacks on her. Silly girl! Curie likes the melee combat for some reason. I even gave her a nice shotgun but she'd rather try slashing them to death with a combat knife.

doesn't even matter if she's carrying molotoves, she will throw them first before she even fires her gun. Then she pulls out whatever you have given her as a weapon. I haven't tried mines yet. I wonder....

Who's that scrawny looking guy that likes sniper rifles? Can't remember who he is. I'm thinking about using that guy in replace of Cait. At least he might do things more subtle...
Give that guy a long ranged, silenced, sniper rifle...? Oh my....

MacReady and Deacon both like sniper rifles.
 
And yeah, they left the AI pretty stupid this time around.  Im used to Bethesda built followers to actually put on and wear a superior clothing or armor when you give it to them.   As for grenades?  No way.  I don't let any of them have grenades.  Last time on of them got ahol of some molotovs they were doing more damage to us than the enemy we were fighting.   If I didn't need them as mules so often I would leave all of them at home.

That perk... "lone survivor"? Is that it? Next few levels I'll put into that so I don't need a companion.

I outfitted A.D.A. with lasers in her head and hands but in combat she's really useless for the most part. She constantly comes unglued at the site of a Radstag and goes running off trying to kill it. I take them down with a single shot while she has to chase it around. I think I am better off with Cait in combat.

The poor Radstag was minding its own business just grazing in the forest when ADA engaged it. After watching this and rolling around the floor laughing I finally put the poor creature out of its misery. I felt it was necessary and consider it a mercy killing. I even got the high powered Sniper Laser perk on my robot! Useless in combat.

I can always tell them to 'Stay' but every time I turn around they're right behind me anyway. Companions have no concept of Stealth.

Anyone else having problems with the game crashing? It just crashed on me twice within a hour or so. I don't think it is the driver, been using them for quite a while. The only thing I have changed is adding the DLC.

I can assume no mods either?   

Try going into Steam and verifying your cache.   There might be a couple of files that have gotten corrupted or are missing altogether.
 

I verified, and that seems to have worked.
