gloowa Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Double check the sResourceDataDirsFinalin your .ini. By default it reads: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ If you are able to load into main menu, but crash when loading a save game, one of the causes can be wrong formatting of that line. check the commas, the proper syntax is:sResourceDataDirsFinal=<directory-name>\, <directory-name>\, <directory-name>\ I managed to break it for myself as well.

That's exactly what it was, as I copy/pasted it right from the mod's install directions.Then I removed everything after STRINGS/ when it didn't work. Still no luck.But yes, main menu loads perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no luck.But yes, main menu loads perfectly in that case, try:1) check if the line does not appear in .ini twice 2) check if there is no fallout4.ini in data directory (it overrides the one in my documents directory if i remember correctly)3) backup and remove all .ini filies from my games\fallout44) last ditch: remove all the mods first in NMM (if not done already), then clear (delete) all sub-dirs of data folder (you may skip the video dir, if no mod changed that) and removal of all non-stock .esm's etc <- this will require steam file integrity check to re-download missing stuff. Check if game works. Enable mods one-by one, checking if it works after each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does it make a difference, that I don't have this game through steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloowa Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Alright, I'll give all that a shot.Any source where I can download working .ini files for the game? If you delete the ones in your My Documents, game will re-create them with default values on next launch. I suggest you run the launcher-config thingy to be sure. And does it make a difference, that I don't have this game through steam?Wait wat? Fallout 4 requires steam. No matter how you purchased it (boxed versions as well), just go to steam and validate game archive in properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I uninstalled everything, and game crashed upon startup.I really feel like i'm in a pickle now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Yup, and because you triggered the no pirates allowed filter, you get banned as a pirate - until you can show us a steam account with the game installed.BannedTopic closed from our TOS PiracyWe have a strict anti-piracy policy and we take a proactive and preemptive stance on anyone who gives us reason to believe is using a pirated version of any game or software. We only support official game versions and users should not provide help to others requesting help with unofficial game versions (e.g. cracked games). If your on-site activities provide us with sufficient evidence that you are a software pirate then you will be instantly banned. If you ask for help with a cracked game then your posts or topics may be set to hidden or deleted, and persisting to ask for help with your cracked copy may result in your account being banned.More information on our anti-piracy policy can be found on our forums.
