Fo4 will not load game/ start new game with the .ini edits for mods

[GeneralOfTheEnclave]

like the the title says, Fo4 will not load game/ start new game with the .ini edit required for the mods using latest version of fallout (1.6.9). all my mods and game used to work 6 month ago before i stopped playing fo4, now i decided to play again and the game will not work with the mods.

 

ps. i have nmm at latest version and in the plugins.txt all the mods have have the '*'

Lets try something.

 

1. Backup your INI files in C:\Users\<<username>>\Documents\my games\Fallout4 which should be Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini. You can copy them to another folder instead. Then delete them from the Documents folder and any copies that say Fallout4.bak or Fallout4Prefs.bak.

2. Exit Steam. If it doesn't disappear form the system tray end task on it or restart the computer.

3. Go to your Fallout 4 folder and delete High.ini, Low.ini, Medium.ini, Ultra.ini.

4. Start Steam, and run the Steam procedure "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" to replace the files you deleted in step three.

5. Run the Fallout 4 Launcher by itself without F4SE.

 

Don't worry about INI edits yet, if you click play in the launcher, can you get into game that way?

@Sharlikran

 

the game works fine for me if and only if i remove

 

[Archive]

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

 

from the Fallout4Custom.ini but it will not load up the mods even if enabled (basicaly i can play unmodded)

 

p.s also, i dont use F4SE, i have my original ini. backed up, i have tried deleting them and re-downloading them through the verify catch.

[GeneralOfTheEnclave]

[sOLVED] its was and UI mod that was causing the problem, apparently UI mods do not play nice with the new version. not sure if it because of other ini edits or what but i removed it and now it works with the mods again

 

P.S thanks for trying to help Sharlikran, i appreciate it!

What is the UI Mod. Was if DEF UI? You might just have to wait for an update. I don't know for sure because I don't use DEF UI but only because I just haven't tried it. I'll test your UI mod later tomorrow let me know what it is.

I use DEF UI, and it works for me. It's has been combined with DEF INV.

nope, the UI mod is pleasant UI 0.5a, as stated it worked fine 6 month ago before i stopped playing fallout 4, but now it will not work with the current version of fo4 (1.6.9). they have a new version out which works with the current version, not as useful as the old one do; since i have to make all the edits to the .ini myself to change the UI, vs old one which did it for you.

[bill8872]

The game has changed to much in 6 months which is why the old version does not work. There are two more DLCs due out, so I am sure it will change more. After I did a complete reinstall of FO4, and all my mods I realized I had about 30 mods that were so out of date they were causing playing/loading issues I thought were game issues.

Fo not playing in the last 6 months I would check all your mods to see when the last time they were updated.

[balsac]

I'll have to try reinstalling without UIs, right now i seem to get a boot from regular launcher but can't even get to the main menu without CTD since the patch yesterday.

[ClockworkWriter]

So, since the update I have been encountering an issue when if I enable mods in either the Fallout4custom.ini or Fallout4.ini (see Shalrkilran's comment) FO4 will crash immediately after the Bethesda logo if I load using F4SE with the Fallout4Custom.ini edits. If I load regularly, the game save selection loads, but crashes on any save game load.

 

if I remove the edits to the ini's, my game save selection and any saves will load, but a number of my mods do not seem to load their content. The menus show the options, but no meshes/textures display and deployed items are gone form the game. Noted mods affected are Armorsmith Extended, Crafting Workbenches, Legendary Modification (in particular L2M), DD Productions All-in-One Crafting Stuff, Homemaker, and SOE.

 

It seems anything that modified, re-meshes, or re-textures a vanilla asset is simply not loading.

 

List of things I've tried (not in this order)

1. I've renamed all ini's in my My Game\Fallout 4 dir and allowed the game to recreate them, unedited

2. Testing both of the enabling methods Sharlikran mentioned in the linked forum post

3. Displaced all files in my game dir EXCEPT data and verified game files on Steam.

4. Re-installed F4SE

5. Disabled all mods and loaded game successfully (but remember it loads 'successfully' with them enabled too)

6. Deleted my \INTERFACE\ dir in \Data\

7. Verified I am not using any user interface mods except Better Item Sorting* and Full Dialogue Interface.

8. Reinstalled every mod that I suspect modifies a vanilla mesh/texture

 

[*NOTE: Researching shows me that Better Item sorting has not been updated since 12/7. I disabled it and it did not resolve my issues. Still, perhaps I should abandon it on general principles?]

 

At this point, I'm in something of a dead spot. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions to make?
