Fallout 4 keeps crashing on main menu

Recommended Posts

I've tried pages and pages of googling random threads for troubleshooting fixes and tweaks to no avail. I played the game since early april with no problems then a few weeks ago it crashed and has since crashed on main menu or within 20 seconds. I have reverted to having NO mods and I don't own any of the DLC. I have no idea what to do anymore to try and just play.

 

I need help.

 

Specs; 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS IX HERO (LGA1151), 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1070MHz, Intel Core i7 6700K, Win10 64 bit

You could always try my settings, and see if it works? All DLC, 200 mods, mostly Ultra and whatnot. Very rarely crashes, only in the urban areas once every now and again. Has never crashed at the menu like that. It's a long shot but what have you got to lose, right? :laugh:

 

Head to this page, scroll down a bit and there is a long post with my current game settings, .ini tweaks and graphics card settings.

 

Might work, might not.

 

Unsure of what could be causing it to crash like that, with a clean install. I would say there might be something wrong with your card but that is probably worst-case and the very last thing to worry about. it's most likely an error or conflict somewhere. Maybe leftover files or something. Who knows. Process of elimination and all that.

I have been getting some graphical stuttering if you look at this screenshot of Guild Wars 2, on the wall just above the butterfly on my characters shoulder, you can see rectangle graphical glitches. They were stuttering in game when I took the shots a few minutes ago from this post.

Never had those before, and Guild Wars 2 is not a huge impact on my PC.

 

Edit: Also I tried your settings and they didn't work. I am actually gonna take my computer down to the store I got it from to see if they can do anything. Maybe it's a hardware issue.

Yeah, if you're having issues with more than one game then it could well end up being a card issue. It might have become dislodged or need a good cleaning. Excessive dust is often the cause of graphical glitches too.

I have the exact issue with Fallout 4, it was fine a month ago and then just quit working. Can't get past the "press any key" message. Completely wiped game data, reinstalled, turned off all mods, other programs, tried to restart with no saves, yada yada yada, still can't play. Hell I can't even get to the fricking menu. So it isn't your comp hardware, lots of people have reported the same issue. Been playing since it came out on pc so this has really got me frustrated.

The problem with asking official support, is that they will give you generic replies (as do most companies who provide technical support) and probably ask you to do the same things as posted here, in the forums. Bethesda don't know your system and can't predict how it handles specific functions. Only you know that. Hence, you will probably receive copy/pasted emails with what to do. Verify cache, uninstall/reinstall, verify game file integrity, don't use mods, make sure it's the latest version, install the latest drivers for your graphics card. There, I just did most of their work for them lol.

 

I wouldn't expect a "dead certain" solution from them. Your issue might only be specific to your setup and/or configuration. Most of the time, you will simply have to go through the "process of elimination" to find out what is the cause of any bug, glitch or crashing. And even then, you might not find it. There have also been times where I've had issues with a game, left it for over a year, come back and it's worked first time.

Help needed,

 

My windows 10 updated to fall creators update a couple of days ago. After that fallout started to CTD exactly when I have to "press any key" or a second after that. It brings up the menu and then instant CTD.

I reinstalled the game, changed video drivers, audio drivers, even deleted windows partition and reinstalled windows 10. No luck.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
