undercarriage Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Hi! I don't post often around here, but I was hoping I could tap this forum for some help. Fallout 4 is crashing on startup before it even fully reaches the menu. Like, I get to the 'Press any key' prompt before the menu can be brought up, and then the game instantly crashes. One thing that's odd; the UI/text color has reverted back from New Vegas orange to default green. As for fixes attempted, I've validated files, checked to see if I'm using the right version of F4SE (I am), and turned weapon debris both on and off (it was already off). I'm using the next gen version. I use Vortex for my mods (sorry). My system stats are as follows: Nvidia 3070 RTX, AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz, 32 gigs ram, using Windows 10. It's installed on my SSD right now, and before like, today, it was running perfectly fine barring random stuttering that didn't bother me too much. If it helps, I can list the mods I'm using too. I hope this is enough for now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaverage Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Do you have a mod installed that changes the main menu and/ or intro videos? If yes, you could try to disable them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyYou Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Are you running any mods? Have you changed your load list recently? It sounds like a missing master crash.... (one of your mods is dependent on another mod, that isn't installed.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the content of .....Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins. In case of a missing master your mod manager should give you a warning. You could look through Vortex and see whether you find any hint. There are some more questions. Is your game upgraded from a previous version or a clean install? If upgraded did the crashes begin directly after upgrading? Did you before use something like the Backported Archive2 Support System and perhaps forgot to delete it after upgrade? Do you use any F4SE dependent mods that aren't upgraded, yet or did you perhaps miss to upgrade these mods? Any further information might help. In case you want to you can disable all your mods and see whether the game starts. If so, you could try a new playthrough without mods and after you left Vault 111 the first time reenable your mods one by one. The masters first.

So if it was running perfectly fine before like, today, did you do anything today that might contribute to the crashing? Also, have you verified that the unmodded next gen version ran without crashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a missing master crash.... (one of your mods is dependent on another mod, that isn't installed.....) Hm. I did install that one new Deagle mod and the fix mod for it. Hang on, let me try something and get back to everyone. To be clear though; fresh install coming off of trying Fallout London, I deleted everything to make it clean. All new, up-to-date mods and everything, no missing masters that I know of. I'll post the modlist soon after I see if it's that dang pistol ruining everything. Edit: Okay! Yep. It was the Deagle. Probably could have assumed that, but I was hoping it wasn't the case. Thanks for the help, everyone! Edited October 13 by undercarriage I figured it out!
