Recent Vortex CTDs

[GoldenDragyn]

Hello

 

Lately I have been getting CTDs with FO4. One of the warnings I get has to do with hashing. I have no idea what the following means and how to fix it.

 

Win 10 64 bit

Vortex version 1.6.14

65 mods active

 

Warnings in Vortex crash logs:

 

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 02:43:03 GMT - warn: warning notification message=Invalid primary tool

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 02:43:03 GMT - warn: [gameversion-hash] required file for game version hashing is missing F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\appxmanifest.xml

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 02:43:03 GMT - warn: warning notification message=Loose files may not get loaded

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 03:27:44 GMT - warn: [gameversion-hash] required file for game version hashing is missing F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\appxmanifest.xml

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 03:28:04 GMT - warn: [gameversion-hash] required file for game version hashing is missing F:\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\appxmanifest.xml

How do I fix this?

Invalid primary tool was for fose and loose files I clicked fix. Game version hash has been the persistent one.

Is Vortex crashing or Fallout 4?

your post title and post content make no sense.

 

you state in the title "vortex ctds" in the body you state it's fallout 4 that's having ctd's.

if its fallout 4 then that's not a vortex issue. however, you need to clarify what your issue is because right now, reading your post, it's very unclear.

Ignore the warning "required file for game version hashing is missing..." from the log, that's a non-issue that shouldn't actually be logged at all, probably a remnant from development.

 

"Loose files may not get loaded" means you got a corresponding notification, informing you that archive invalidation is not active, at least not through Vortex and thus loose mod files may not get loaded at all.

"Invalid primary tool" means that the tool set up to start the game, very likely f4se, is not installed or misconfigured.

 

If your game crashes, that's a problem between you, your game and the mods you installed, Vortex itself doesn't cause the game to crash. The two warnings above however do indicate that your setup is misconfigured and Vortex is trying to get you to fix it.

. The two warnings above however do indicate that your setup is misconfigured and Vortex is trying to get you to fix it.

Based on the last line of their post, I think they took care of those two and only have the irrelevant warning remaining.

 

So, time to take this to the Fallout 4 forums, I'd expect.
