EpiceneBlue Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hello wax2k, I appreciate your answer, and assure you I am no noob to modding. :-) When I say Vanilla, I mean wiped the entire SSD drive and reinstalled Steam, then Fallout 4 on a totally empty drive, with all Steam and FO4 entries removed even from the Registry with IObit uninstaller. That kind of Vanilla. And yes, brand new fresh game from character creation. No mods, not even NMM installed yet. The ONLY change to the inis were the lines here - http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation - added to the designated files. It is only when I put these lines in the Fallout4Custom.ini file that things went south. [Archive]bInvalidateOlderFiles=1sResourceDataDirsFinal= In addition to the brand new game, I also keep a collection of Vanilla saves. No Fallout4Custom.ini with mods enabled lines, no CTDs anywhere, anywhen, with any of them playing around with them for hours. Add the Fallout4Custom.ini lines above, CTDs here, there, and everywhere. I even went back and pulled all three .ini files from my last backup when the game was on my C Drive and tested those .inis. Same problem. The only difference I have is that when my game was on the C Drive before I decided to put it on the SSD drive, I had not let it update yet. When I installed it fresh on the SSD drive, I let it update. So the update is what is making things go screwy, apparently. From Googling, apparently I am only one of quite a lot of people that this problem has happened to since the update, and while some solutions seem to work for some people (somewhat), most of them did not apply to me, since I had a Vanilla data folder, and no mods installed and yet still having constant CTDs. (There are notably quite a few others who have reverted all the way back to Vanilla as well and still had the problem, as I did.) The only thing that has worked is to remove the Fallout4Custom.ini and revert back to the old method of mod enabling -http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/videos/87/? - which, as you know, has it's own issues. But at least I can play, with mods enabled, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethreon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Had this happen after a forced PC reboot. Please go to your folder, delete your game executables, reacquire via steam and try to enable mods again. If nothing else works, delete all game content (the folder in steamapps, the one in my documents etc), then get game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
