piecheese10 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I've been unable to play Fallout 4 for a couple months now due to an unknown issue causing the game to crash before the main menu can finish loading. I have crash logs, but I've been unable to decipher them, and the program I downloaded to scan the logs for me has a broken UI that doesn't fit my screen (see attached screenshot.) I'm really hoping somebody here can figure out what's happening, I really miss this game. crash-2025-03-30-21-58-52.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaverage Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 In your crashlog the plugins are missing. But I see that you are on next-gen with the backportedba2support installed. This is not needed and afaik might lead to crashes. The escapefreezefix wasn't updated for next-gen. So you might uninstall it. Maybe more could be said when seeing you complete modlist.

I don't know why they'd be listed in the crash log... Also, I don't know why my modlist isn't showing up in there either. I've attached a more recent log that includes it. On a related note, I uninstalled Project Mojave after remembering a similar incident where it randomly broke on me after working fine for a couple weeks. I can now make it to the main menu, but the game still crashes shortly after clicking "new game." crash-2025-03-31-00-41-00.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaverage Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It seems that these entries are part of buffout (I don't use it) even when you don't have the patches installed. Uninstalling Project Mojave might ruin savegames, but should not prevent you from beginning a new game. You could nevertheless verify your game file integrity. Judging from their endings you have 380 plugins that occupy a full mod slot in your list. As long as not about 130 are flagged as esl you exceed the mod limit. Starting a new game with many mods will often not work, because there are mods that must not be loaded before you leave Vault 111 for the first time. So, in your case, I would recommend to try to start the game with no mod enabled and when you left Vault 111 make a save. Afterwards you could begin to enable your mods step by step with a lot of testing. In case you have texture mods that aren't listed it might be a good idea to uninstall them until you get a working game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarannKiar Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 You also need to make sure you don't have more than ~460 BA2 archives. I don't know if Buffout 4 NG patches the archive limit but it's worth checking how many BA2 archives you have. Make sure your Documents/My Saves and Fallout 4/Data folders aren't restricted. You can increase your screen resolution if the Crash Log Auto Scanner window doesn't fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
