YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Good evening everybody, except, it isn't a good evening for me, because FO4Edit isn't working anymore.It was, I think since that last Window$ update downgrade that it stopped working.I made a post about this before (LOOT & FO4LODGen didn't work either, but I got them working again) but that was not about FO4Edit. I use Mod Organizer 2, I never had any problems like this before ... This is the error message that I get ... Loading active plugin list: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt Fatal: Error loading plugin list: <ENotSupportedException: The path format is not supported> Maybe it is because I have space in one of the folder names (My username, obviously I replaced it here for privacy reasosn, but there is a space in there).But if that is the problem, then it wouldn't have worked from the start ...And it just stopped working a week or so ago ... I tried to launch FO4Edit without ModOrganizer and that didn't work either, I got the same error message.G00gle didn't help either, or restarting my PC. Please, if anybody knows how to fix this, let me know, because without FO4Edit, I can't really keep working on modding stuff (and that is bad, because that would mean that the weekend would be "wasted") ...

YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 So, I recently posted this error on the GitHub page for xEdit (but my account there go deleted, probably because I used a "disposable email" thing) ... Please, if anybody has any idea what the issue with FO4Edit could be, let me know! [i don't want to have to reinstall everything on my PC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdaxT Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Looking at xEdit's source, it does all the right things to find the path to plugins.txt. Something as simple as a space in the path shouldn't be causing problems. Do you have any non-ASCII characters in your user path, like accented characters or something? They shouldn't be causing a problem, but Windows can get weird at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ahhh, finally somebody answered! Yes, I have a ö in my username (german is a weird language, I know ...) But then it wouldn't have worked from the beginning, right?It just "stopped working" about a week ago ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdaxT Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, Windows will occasionally give you a hard time with accented characters in your username. It shouldn't be a thing in 2020, yet here we are. I think Steam still has some bugs around that too. Have you updated xEdit recently? Maybe try rolling forward or back through some different versions and see if that changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 No, I haven't updated xEdit.Just to try I downloaded the latest version of xEdit and it still does not work ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I just noticed something that I found weird ... FO4Edit only "gets upset" when trying to load the "plugins.txt" file.All other stuff gets loaded with no errors: FO4Edit 4.0.3 (819FA7E8) starting session 2020-07-14 02:51:39 Using Fallout4 Data Path: *:\proginstall\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\ Using Backup Path: *:\proginstall\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\FO4Edit Backups\ Using Scripts Path: D:\StuffForGames\Fallout4\ModDev\FO4Edit 4_0_3-2737-4-0-3-1575326273\Edit Scripts\ Using Cache Path: *:\proginstall\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\FO4Edit Cache\ Using ini: C:\Users\My Username\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini Using save path: C:\Users\My Username\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\__MO_Saves\ Using Creation Club Content list: *:\proginstall\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4.ccc Using plugin list: C:\Users\My Username\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt Warning: Could not find plugin list Using settings file: C:\Users\My Username\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.fo4viewsettings Using language: de Using general string encoding: 1252 (ANSI - Lateinisch I) Using translatable string encoding: 65001 (UTF-8) Using VMAD string encoding: 65001 (UTF-8) Loading active plugin list: C:\Users\My Username\AppData\Local\Fallout4\Plugins.txt Fatal: Error loading plugin list: <ENotSupportedException: The path format is not supported> The "error" only appears when FO4Edit trys to load the "plugins.txt".So it can't be my "username" that causes this, because then, it would throw that error when trying to load the first thing (ini file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 So, I made a new user on my PC (called TestUser, just something without any "special characters" or spaces) and I still get the same error .... So the whole "it isn't working because of special characters" thing can be ruled out ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdaxT Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 So maybe there's something wrong with the contents of the file itself? What's in your MO2 profile's plugins.txt? And does xEdit work outside of MO2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 As I said, xEdit DOES NOT WORK outside of MO2. The plugins.txt file at the location where xEdit is "looking" contains this: # This file was automatically generated by Mod Organizer. *Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch.esp (I just have the Unofficial Patch ESP loaded ...) What SHOULD be in this file?I guess a list of all loaded plugins, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
