kevkiev Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 So I brain-farted out and started F4SE without running steam first which, of course, started the latest update I've been nicely avoiding for the past week or so. I'd moved all the CC crap out of my game files a while ago with the intention that, if and when I decided to update, I'd move it all back so Steam wouldn't have to redownload it. (Then I'd ditch it all over again.) But the update was faster than expected and, when it was done, I looked at my FO4 files and there were no CC files. Not a one. Go figure?

SanguineShade Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yep back too the same ol crap... Maybe its time too find another broken game lol. Wow just wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevkiev Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah, I thought updating, verifying cache, or starting from the steam launcher (which you have to do sometimes with FO4Edit when it gets a registry error), with those files missing would result in their download. Really surprised that the update didn't do that - very mysterious but, hey, saves me the trouble of deleting them. I was actually pretty happy when I saw that although I guess it might bork any buying CC stuff (oh no!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pra Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hm, I got these two files with the update:ccBGSFO4044-HellfirePowerArmor - Main.ba2ccBGSFO4044-HellfirePowerArmor - Textures.ba2I had all the cc crap deleted before, and only these two got restored.

Those 2 files are (er, were) indeed in my data folder. Still surprised that the older stuff didn't get restored but, yeah, I missed those 2.

Moksha8088 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Now I am a bit confused. I thought the way to avoid the newest update (at least until all mods that rely on F4SE have themselves been updated) was to run the game straight from F4SE rather than Steam.

Then close Steam (or not I guess - doesn't matter) and start the game from F4SE. I used to wonder why I'd get updated even though I was running from F4SE and had "update only on game launch" selected, but then I read a post in another thread that pointed this out. This last time (and previous times where I couldn't figure out why I was getting ninja-updated) I plum forgot and ran from the F4SE launcher as soon as my computer booted up.

pra Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hm, someone should make a special launcher, which waits for steam to start, and only then starts f4se_launcher.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
