Strange McCarran bug

Perhaps some people have heard me talking about it in the main news forums but since the previous patch my game has a tendency to CtD every time I approach the main building.

I just got the new patch but that did not seem to fix the problem.
I am now a bit desperate on how to fix it, I tried deactivating the few mods I have installed (mostly bug fixes) but that did not resolve the problem.

Has anyone else had this problem too?
And has anyone found out how it can be fixed?
 
Have already tried making a clean save, quit then reload? I was having problems with constant crashes with mods installed but the patch seemed to solve them.
if things go for the worse you may have to restart a new game.
 
Its really peculiar problem that doesn't always manifest.
I have tried a new game and the problem does not appear, after that I did an older save game and the problem again did not happen.

But then I used a save right before I played Honest Hearts and then it does occur.

I can only think it is something item related as I had all mods on during these experiments.

Edit: I tried dropping quest items but that is not the problem either.
 
I had this bug in two different playthroughs Dutch, you enter McCarran and everytime you approach the main buildig an CTD occur, I'm on PC just to note.
Both of them happened after I updated the game.

I didn't had luck in one of this playthroughs, had to erase it and start again. In the other one I sucessfully loaded an earlier save and was able to continue with the character, albeit I was in level 17 or 18 and had to go back 5 saves and load one when I was in level 10.

I usually save the game at key points and store different builds I create, currently I have four characters created, each of them with 30 to 35 save files, so I have more or less 120 save files in total.
Like I said, the strange thing is the bug occuring in the character I was playing at the time, but not in the saves from other builds.

So, if you have different saves from your playthrough try to load them, maybe one works.
 
Hello brfritos,

I have tried another save which I think is from another build and there I did not encounter the same problem.

I find it rather strange that the problem appears in some saves and not in other and I still wonder if the problem is triggered by some kind of event in the game.
