Its not always this easy to figure out what a problem might be with a script,
but thankfully message files (.msg) are pretty simple.
In this video I walk through how to trouble-shoot the pip-boy crashing the game from a mal-formed pipboy.msg file.

For those of you interested in playing Oblivion Lost, but like using the pipboy, I made a patch that fixes this bug and a bunch of others.

These should work with any older save files you have and prevent most crashes,
but I make no guarantees about broken quests.
I definitely would try installing this if the maps are crashing on you.

To install just extract the Patch002.dat file into the same folder as
patch000.dat and patch001.dat.
Right next to the executable, over-writing any existing Patch002.dat.
(If you want to preserve an existing Patch002.dat and know what you're doing, you can rename this file to Patch003.dat, which will apply the fixes but leave the russian translation found in the Patch002.dat file that comes with v1.04)

That's it, that's all you have to do.
Congratulations! Now you're updated to the most recent patch!
