mdaley1992 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi, so I've just performed a fresh install of both Fallout 4 and NMM on a new PC.Fallout 4 is installed on the SSD, and NMM on the HDD. NMM's virtual install folder for Fallout is located on the SSD though.Fallout 4 had been launced, and has both Fallout4.ini and the Prefs.ini, but when running NMM it comes up with a message saying the .ini doesn't exist, and I need to run the game to create one. Is anyone else having (or did in the past) this problem. If so, do you have any solutions on how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdaley1992 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Further still, after uninstalling NMM and reinstalling through different pathways (everything on the SSD now), I'm getting this error message along with the no ini. found one: "unable to get write permissions for C:Games/Nexus Mod Manager/Fallout 4/Install Info". Any suggestions? This is driving me up the wall - I've never had problems with NMM like this before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardParker Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yep, getting the same can't find fallout4.ini error. Fresh install of the game and FMM, on a new PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seekingthesun Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Nah you don't have to completely re-install. Just cut and paste it somewhere else as a backup. Make sure to get fallout4.ini and the various others like fallout4custom and fallout 4 prefs out of there. Also cut and paste the fallout4exe. Then, go into steam and select "Verifiy game cache" it will rewrite those missing files without taking 5 hours to download and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRelic27 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Downgrade back tn the previous version of NMM, that fixed it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skubblebubble Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 toggled reset archive invalidation a couple times and it now loads. I'd get just the launcher, click play, and black screen with spinny circle, but no game. so try archive bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
