The main menu went missing!

[Archiemcfeathery]

<NOT FIXED> My menu is missing

Right so- I have looked everywhere for a solution for my problem that just showed up and nothing seems to be working or the exact issue i'm having.

So while I just started the Honest Hearts DLC, I had to alt-tab for a moment to check up on something. But when I re-clicked the icon to get back into game the game wouldn't pop up. So I closed it with task manager and thought that was the end of that...However when I relaunched the game, it starts off normally but when you get to the "menu" It flashes the 'Content downloaded' message before showing me only my mouse and the slideshow in the backround. No menu to click at all and I've done alot to see if it was my mods but everything seems to be in check. No masters missing. I even launced the game purely mod free and it still doesn't show the menu.

I'm at a loss here and I really need help. I'll post my loadorder just in case.

Game menus are ".XML" files in the "Data\Menus" folder tree. Sounds like you are missing the one for the main menu (likely this is "start_menu.xml" but I am not sure and don't have access to the game at the moment to check). The file may be missing or corrupt. If you don't have a backup then you will need to have Steam "verify local files" which should restore it.

I would recommend downloading fallout new vegas edit to see if any esm's are missing or if the load order is incorrect, i think gopher has a video on the issue? Even when I had no mods initialised my menu still didn't show.

Right so I looked though the menus and noticed that MCM was blocking most of them. I deleted everything associated with MCM and my menu came back! However now I can't load/make a new save as it crashes..

refresh your steams game cache ,it will replace the deleted data and should return things back to normal.

I have done this and nothing has changed. I even flushed steam's cache and it still won't budge.

Method / tools used to install the data with?

 

back up one moment here, are you trying to load a saved game that has MCM's code in it? because that wont work any more.

 

this could be your issue, IF you have a game never seeing MCM code, use that one and things should work or run a new game.

 

You do not delete data, you uninstall it. IF you use other mods that also use *.xml files ? they were overwritten.

and are still there.

that is basic game structure ,if you see and interface folder? delete it.

I use Nexus Mod manager along with LOOT and FNV edit to fix loading issues. I never got MCM to really work and had "unchecked it" a few weeks ago. The game was working fine untill yesterday. Even if I was trying to load a save that used MCM code, It crashes even when trying to launch a new game. So should I delete the mods with .xml files then?

[Purr4me]

you use NMM to uninstall them IF nmm is working correctly it should solve the problem.

 

It's is based off of fomm's code so I am making an assumption the FOmod's work correctly with the uninstaller, NMM makes backups..or it should be..of the mods data that gets overwritten.

 

If it's not ? you need to really consider a different path. I seen some where here there is a master reset feature in NMM that might work.

 

But your saved game files are damaged, the only way to rectify them immediately is to reinstall MCM and test it, THIS time you uninstall the packages, Not delete them.

---------------------

and last, it might be steam too. reboot to make sure.

Please don't take this the wrong way but your mods list is a mess.

Mission Mojave - Ultimate Edition.esp=1 <----known to cause problems. Just sayin.

 

Any mod that contains deleted components will exhibit CTD's

and it's not compatible with a lot of those mods Either. If I were to be picky.
