AHA! I figured it out! It was this blasted mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15639 Reinstalled the whole game by downloading the painfully large 30GB of data through my dialup internet connection speed and loaded a new game. Notes and magazines are displayed fine in inspect mode, all is functional, even the zoom. Exit the game, put this mod in so I can still get steam achievements from completing questions and other odd bits, loaded the save and the inspect mode broke. Also, even though the author says if you delete those files, the mod is uninstalled, it isn't really because the issue still persists with the inspect mode for notes and mags. Unless that's an intended/unintended side effect of using such mod? Which means the only way to get rid of it is to wipe your entire fallout 4 installation, deleting the whole folder too and then redownloading it and NOT installing that achievements mod enabler.

What if you dont have the Strings folder...?

ok, back again after a break.....revalidated files and still not fixed....huh..... :pinch: :down: :dry: Sooooooooooooooooooooo......my case must be pretty unique if no one has this issue and a revalidation does not fix it.....

But who puts a mini cooper engine into a ferrari? Well at least it would be a kick in the butts to do it right and not wrong.... So besides all this ramble, is there no other way besides verifying game integrity which would completely destroy all mods, no matter how big or small as Fallout 4 does not have steam workshop integrated so all the mods are really ini edits or file/folder replacements? And I didn't exactly record all the mods I used, including ini file edits and other custom files that may or may not be listed as a plugin mod.

Yeah, read a few topics of people getting random crashes to desktop without error....even on vanilla... had my fair share too....but decided to chug along with it, it was either that or don't play the game at all...but I want to play...and there's no equivalent alternative yet that I know of....besides it's too late for my refund anyways...hahaha.... :laugh: I wasn't aware the game was primarily for consoles. If it was, why is it released on PC then? They'd have a much better job just focusing on them console players.... Always thought every PC release is proper PC and not emulation of its console equivalent variant.... How do you even tell if it's an emulation or proper PC release? Keeping up with their news I guess? Or modding the game till it breaks and then blame it on the game for not being able to handle the load considering PCs can handle much better than a console will and then say it's an emulation? Or something else? Thanks.... huh, none of the entries even have an item called "notes" anywhere in their "Misc. Item" drop down if they have an entry for that.... Yeah, I have screenshots of it working fine before in vanilla...dunno what I did to the game, but modded it a bit(maybe more than a bit if you also have no idea how I could have possibly caused this issue, even with your over 7 years experience! :happy: ) and now have this issue....have been ongoing for more than a year actually...just haven't bothered to get it fixed until now as one of the quests require actually reading the or a note of sorts, but I can't read it obviously since it's upside and in an illegible font and size and I can't zoom in and rotate the note upright to read it better.... :confused: Besides, if I can get it fixed now, that would mean future and other notes would also be finally readable again! So two birds one stone effect. I guess less crashes is always welcomed! Hah...

This the FO4Edit you're talking about: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2737?tab=files ? How do I find out which one modifies notes? First time user...looks intimidating and I feel lost.... :confused: :pinch: :huh: :unsure: :wacko: :hurr: :ohdear: :psyduck: I also disabled all mods through the mods section ingame and loaded up a save file and the issue still persist(see below screenshots), so.....may as well see what FO4Edit can find before I toss that away...hahaha :laugh: :tongue: :thumbsup: :teehee: Aw, but how will I be able to transfer legendary mods from a shitty item to something better that I have or create when I don't have any and want some on my gear? :sad: :confused: :excl: :ohdear: Well they work right? So I kinda take the bug reports if any, with a grain of salt or ignore them completely (ie skipping the entire post and forum tabs if the mod page have them)...unless I come across a bug that also happens to have been reported but as of yet is to be acknowledged (or is acknowledged but wont be fixed for whatever reason) by the uploader and that it's bugging to the point of being unplayable, then yeah - I'll of course remove it completely and make do without it or find an alternative if there is one... I see, so scrap everything deletes the previs system which is used for frame rate optimization....huh...how much frames per second are usually lost with this disabled? I suppose I could replace Scrap Everything with Place Everywhere, which requires F4SE if it's really that bad of a deal....

Heh, I would if my monitor was one of those that can spin around on the stand 360 degrees in any direction...plus I would need to zoom in to read what it actually says if the handwriting or prints is too small to read from that distance....which when in read mode is disabled so you can't zoom in or rotate the note in question like you can in inspect mode...
