Game now crashes at launch since new update.

[Modz4eva]

So, ever since update 1.7, I haven't been able to play. At first, it was because F4SE wasn't updated, but then it was and still.. nothing.

It crashes even before the bethesda logo, or even one of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L videos.

I've disabled ALL mods and DLC's and nothing. Anyone else? I'm on Windows 10.

Check to see if you have any outdated F4SE dlls still hanging around, which is a possibility with a manual install. Also, make sure that you have F4SE 2.2 which came out hot on the heels of 2.1

I have the same problem after the update, even after deleting the old file I still have the same problem, the game just stops working...

Added my plugins list, there are two esp files deactivated.

I looked at your plugins ini text and you have asterisks where you shouldn't have asterisks

 

this is originally from the front page site news section for Fallout 4 nexus site

If you aren’t using NMM or Bethesda.net and still wish to enable mods manually, please note that the usage of the plugins.txt file has changed. Though it's still located in your %appdata% directory (i.e., something like c:\users\sirsalami\appdata\local\fallout4), it no longer contains references to core files / dlc plugins. Also, you MUST add an asterisk (*) before the entry for each modded plugin. For instance, a properly enabled plugins.txt file will now look something like this:

# This file is used by Fallout4 to keep track of your downloaded content.

# Please do not modify this file.

*Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch.esp

*LongerDeathReloadTime.esp

*DarkerNights.esp

*DarkerNightsDetection.esp

*Campsite.esp

*CMPA +150.esp

*SOS_SleepOrSave.esp

We’ll be updating the wiki to reflect these changes, accordingly.

original source http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/news/12785/?

Do not add a asterisks symbol's on the main game and dlc esm in the plugin ini text and you might have to set the text to read-only if your using the f4se_loader to launch the game or your plugin ini text well reset and lose all mod entry's!.

here's part of my plugins ini

I stopped installing any mod manually ever since skyrim. Before this I never even edited the plugins.txt.

Edit: Also what you posted there is something from quite a while back and I haven't had any issues till last update. So I don't think it has anything to do with plugins.txt.

Edited August 7, 2016 by 4EverLol4Life

Finally got Fallout 4 to work all plugins except DLC's activated, launching Fallout 4 through steam worked.
After that I copied F4SE 2.2 to the folder and it doesn't get any further than showing the usual pop-up split second, which was unusually short. A one second black screen and ended back on my desktop.

 

Edit: The problem seems to have been in-game esp explorer and place everywhere, you'll have to update them if you have those two to make F4se work again. Even these 2 mods their esp's were disabled some files interfered with F4se.

 

Another Edit: Apparently Enbseries (0.307) can make the game crash too... -_-)

Edited August 7, 2016 by 4EverLol4Life

[Modz4eva]

Yup. Place everywhere and ESP explorer need to be updated.

[soupdragon1234]

I've got the same problem. Simply cannot get it to launch without crashing since update. Even verifying Steam cache doesn't fix it. I've only got like 2 mods! And F4SE.

 

Even if it launches once in a blue moon it'll either freeze after a minute or two or CTD.

 

Game has become basically unplayable. If no better soon I'm going to nuke the entire thing from orbit delete the install folder wipe all the .ini files and redownload the whole kit and kaboodle from Steam again. :/

 

edit: just been on Steam forums seems like we aren't the only ones. The curse of broken Bethesda titles strikes again!

Same here, I am away 2 weeks come back and Fallout gets updated, NMM doesn't show mod updates (come on it's been broken since May now) but I update f4se and Placeanywhere and it crashed immediately on trying to load a game save. Running Fallout through the normal launcher and it loads. Placeanywhere is the only f4se mod I use.

 

And the load it up without f4se and save it. Then load that save with the f4se loader doesn't work either.

 

Latest f4se and latest placeanywhere used.
