Never had it crash, just had it go into combat. your steal skill DOES NOT factor into this.

WTF OverWrite is on again and I can't stand the word fragments/having to re-type everything.nd that's why hammer is gay. I'll be making a topic on GD if nobody responds to my problem in 5... 4... (Goes and eats breakfast)3... 2... 1... 0... -1... NOW!

Overwrite is on.

Solution: turn overwrite off.

Or just write out your posts in full without having to go back and modify 'em. Your comp automatically turns overwrite on when you do that a lot anyway, so that explains your problem.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

1st: how do I turn it off?
2nd: when I do what?

isn't "overwrite" just "insert," why not try hitting the "INSERT" key ;)

Yea what strap said.

What I was saying was: sometimes overtime automatically turns itself on based on your typing pattern.

you must have xp or something... that has anoying "features" like that.
i have never had it turn on automaticly, you probably just hit it by accident.

Yea, I have xp and it turns on automatically sometimes and then I have to go to the trouble to press Insert once. Fucking strenuous. God damn.

I think it's the way people type, because the Backspace button is right next to it and when you go to hit Backbackspace your finger slips a little and hits Insert at the same time. Used to happen all the time with my old computer until I figured out what it was and just pulled the damn key out, who even uses that bullshit?

Anyways, I've got the patch and it still crashes, used to happen with the rocket launcher sometimes so when I would run accross some Super Mutants with a launcher I'd have to take him out first or have the game crash.

if it hasn't been mentioned yet: turn your "violence level" to its lowest setting.
this is suggested because you say that rockets caused the game to crash. (it may just be the death animation, and turning violence to lowest makes that amination not occur.)

but as for leaving the map after planting live explosives on someone, it is not uncommon to crash the game. i for one, never do that anymore because of this problem
