Problem with "Read-Only" toggling seems to have fixed itself?

[trog69]

I have had a problem with enabling mods since the very first beta patch, so that if I started a game, the mods would all be disabled, and I would have to go to the main game files folder and uncheck "Read-Only" for those files. Then everything loaded fine.

 

But just now, I tried the game without un-checking that box, yet all the mods loaded with the game just fine. I'm not complaining, but I would like to know what is happening behind the scenes a bit better, so that I can fix my own problems in the future, instead of coming here and whining like I usually do.

 

I have also quit the "beta" program for FO4, which might be part of the answer, though I do know that when I first quit it, I still had to uncheck the Read-Only box before playing.
