I think I'm f*cked

[Jerohan]

Ok, so... I have had NMM installed for some time, and have had a list of mods that I've been happily running for some time now with very little problems, and any problems to be had were minor (save for a certain cell in the main story causing the game to crash, but all I had to do was uninstall one mod, play through that bit, then reinstall).

 

However, today I decided to install a few more mods. After installing, the game would crash just before, or just as, I got to the main menu.

 

So I says to myself, "Ok, fine, I'll uninstall these new mods one-by-one until I find the culprit".

 

Five minutes later, all of the new mods are uninstalled, and the game is still crashing. I then proceeded to uninstall EVERY mod I had, and I'm still crashing. Just, zip. Nada. Cannot play. Does not compute.

 

So, is my game totally borked? I really, really hope not, because I happen to live in the middle of f*cking nowhere. It's an hour drive to my nearest friend with high-speed internet. I have to use my cell phone as a router, and am limited to 20 gigs a month. The game is 24 gigs. Not to mention my giant ass desktop weighs something like 70lbs. I really, really, really want to avoid having to lug this heavy f*cking thing up several flights of stairs just to install Fallout 4.

 

So, any advise? Attached is a screenshot of my mods, with the mods I installed today highlighted. Note that not all of the mods above were installed beforehand, as a few I installed, tried, and didn't like, or they conflicted with others, or any other number of reasons.

It's not likely to be totally borked and may need only one or two files, the only way to know for sure is to verify cache in Steams game settings, Steam will only attempt to replace vanilla files if they have been changed,

Steam will tell you the size of the download, then you can decide whether it erquires a road trip or not.

Once you have a working vanilla game, make an Archive (.7z) of the entre game as a backup.

Thanks for the tip. How do i do that? I'm not a very technical person, truth be told. I can understand it, I just don't memorize this stuff.

How do you do what? There were several issues mentioned. If you are asking about Verifying the game files do this:

 

1.Load Steam.
2.From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3.Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache button.
4.Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.
5.Once the process is completed, the Check Window will automatically exit.


Important: One or more files may fail to verify.

This is normal for most Steam games. The files that fail to verify are local configuration files that should not be replaced as part of this process. You can safely ignore this message.

A million thanks, dude. Verifying now.

 

Never knew Steam could do that. A very wise move on their part...

F*ck yeah! I think this will solve the problem. Steam found 3 files that were borked.
