CTD before main title screen

[NathanRyan]

I've been having trouble with a CTD before the title screen even comes up. I've done a fresh install of my mods and loot is coming back with no errors. I've also verified integrity of game cache and cleaned all DLCs. Fallout 4 is updated, as well as F4SE. Here is my load order:

I've really been wanting to play. Can anyone help me out?

Want a game without weird s*** and hundreds of mods running?

 

You need 3 (4) programs. Loot>wrye bash>foedit and a manager of your choice.

 

1. Move game to alternate steam install folder.

 

2. Run loot.

 

3. Clean your masters in foedit, it is easy and takes 2 minutes, lots of vids on how to.

 

4. Install and run wrye bash(why you moved your game to alternate install folder) It will provide you with info on any "hidden" conflicts, and a tool to fix them.

 

5. Those that cannot be fixed i wrye bash you need to fire up in foedit and sort.

 

All of this is in no way complicated and are at the most boxes that needs ticking.

 

Instead of following my ramblings above, somebody actually made a nifty guide, here you go.

already have all that. game still CTDs.

[Arneercool]

hmm, then the issue is on your part probably, in that you missed something, that could be an update, patch, or that you simply have too many things editing the same stuff. Or there could be a bad mod somewhere in that loadorder that does not set off alarm bells in foedit and wrye. I would start by making sure i have the right versions of the game and tools, then go over every mod individually and make sure they are up to date and have their masters in place, also look over bug reports that has blown up recently.

 

Ctd on load sounds like a missing or messed up master. And Scrap Everything conflicts with almost anything, doesn't it? It also provides you with the ability to scrap navmeshes, spawn points, animation points, and that is never a good idea to do in-game. I could be mistaken, some things has probably changed since i stopped using it. But that one IS common among those seeking help.

I found it. It was unlimited survival activations. The latest update broke the mod. It's actually listed on the mod page in the posts.
