Nofsdad Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Installed a mod this afternoon and when I attempted to start the game launcher it wouldn't load. Tried loading with FOSE, 4gb and with the regular .exe. Verified the game files, removed all the games executables and let Steam reinstall...No luck. So I was already a pretty unhappy camper when I decided I would have to uninstall and reinstall the game. Got that done and had psyched myself up to doing all my mod installs again and decided to make sure the brand new reinstalled game worked before that and it of course it doesn't. Same problem, same error message. So now not only can I still not play my game, if there's a fix I probably didn't need to do the reinstall anyway. (this whole scenario happened a couple years ago also and I was FNVless until I had to do a complete windows reinstall months later. First thing I did was reinstall FNV and sure enough it worked. Hate to do that again but I'm a confined shutin (stroke) and this game is one of the few real pasttimes I have). So the question finally. Has anyone ever had this situation occur and if so were you able to fix it from within the game files? I've been to both Steam Support and Beth but both of them are about as helpful as a rock. I've done a forum search here but all I found was a query from a guy with the same problem a couple of months ago and no replies. Hoping maybe he fixed it and will see this. ;) ThanksT Edited June 22, 2015 by Nofsdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarchUntoTorment Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Generally, just keep rebooting your PC and it works, eventually. Doesn't take more than ten reboots, in my experience. That said, it happens regularly; there's no way to stop it permanently. It's an annoyance, but one you have to live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luthienanarion Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You can only run the launcher from Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blove Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 After reinstalling and before installing any mods, make sure that you do not have a Menus folder left over in your Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nofsdad Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks everyone. It's working now. I rebooted the computer a couple of times, which also rebooted Steam and it's all good. Sounds like I got off easy compared to some I read about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
