Linalae Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It may be nothing, or just my happenstance solution, but eventually any idea that works isn't a bad idea... ---> Turn off the Steam Overlay before launching. I swear, I've done every tip, trick, and hokus-pokus-ey gimmick to get FO4 back up an running for the last two days... And even after a complete "feckitall" wipe and re-install I wasn't getting past a 3-second black screen before getting dumped back to desktop. I noticed that the gameoverlay executable was hanging out a bit after the crash on the Task Manager, so I unticked the option in Steam (Properties > General > "[..] Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game"). The next launch went smoothly, and I'm back in business. (...with a few hours ahead of me of tracking down what mods NMM decided to botch in the Profile re-activation.) Good luck, and I hope _your_ solution ends up as simple, and as easily overlooked. A few days ago I experienced this problem for the first time. In fact, this is the first technical issue I've ever experienced with F4. I tried just about every fakakta solution I could find, to no avail. Turning off the Steam Overlay has worked for me so far tonight. I'm amazed, a simple solution that actually works (probably just jinxed myself). But, here I am playing the game once again. Here's hoping it's a permanent fix. Thank you, Sang'Rahl Thank you so very much. You are a golden god. This simple solution worked for me too. And I agree with everything above. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM that this worked for me. Holy crap, thank you so much. I was getting seriously worried that I couldn't play.
