Updated the game + Mods = CTD?

[Arcanant]

So I had everything set up amazingly in the previous version of the game which took me quite a huge amount of time to figure and then steam decided that I needed to force update my game, which then f*#@ed my mod setup. I updated the F4SE, Autoswitch, MCM, LooksMenu and Transfer Settlements as it nugged me to update them as well when I tried to start the game, still I got CTD. Any ideas are very much appreciated .My load order https://pastebin.com/E1e874Uv

I don't know if this will help at all, but here's a few things. (You may know this stuff already; if so, my bad. Just trying to cover the bases.)

 

- I think all of those .esl files at the beginning of your load order (that begin "ccbgsfo4...") are from the Creation Club; every time I've let the game update, they have been added to my Data folder. Did you actually purchase all of those? If not, you can just delete them. (Bethesda includes all of their CC files in their updates; they just "sit" on your computer, waiting to be activated when/if you actually purchase them.)

 

- I would suggest setting Steam to run in offline mode, which eliminates the worry of auto updates. I only update my game when mod/F4SE development has caught up. Also, as a double safety check, you can set Fallout 4 to only update when you launch it from Steam; this is redundant (as you're probably using the F4SE launcher), but it always makes me feel safer.

 

- Does the bit ".esp-0" in the load order mean that a plugin is deactivated? If so, you could probably just remove them from the Data folder. (I don't know if that will help at all, but it may help to narrow things down.)

 

FO4 updates are a hassle, especially if you're running Script Extender stuff. If you need to, there are ways to roll back your Fallout4.exe file to previous versions.

Yeah I am a Bethesda freak what can I say lol I still got my Purified Water bottle from 2008 convention fair in Leipzig :P
I used to have it in offline mode but at some point I wanted to check the integrity of the files for any problems but that was a huge mistake from my part since I forgot that this would also mean an update.
Yeah the -0 at esps is for inactive plugins which I keep though to keep a track of my merges and to revert in changes if I find a bug in my playthrough.
How can I roll-back the Fallout4.exe to previous versions? Would that be enough since the update modifies more files than just the .exe? Thanks for your time!

What version were you using before, and what version did you get updated to?

 

Depending on the specific update, usually the only thing you need to worry about is having the right version of the Fallout4.exe file (at least that's what F4SE and F4SE-dependent files care about). When I've rolled back versions in the past, I just changed that file and everything was fine. (Granted, I don't use any CC content.)

 

As for rolling your Fallout4.exe back, there are a couple ways:

 

1) I've seen a number of posts on the forums here and on Reddit (there's probably some elsewhere, too) pop up right around update times. Folks ask for/post older versions of the .exe. I started backing them up whenever I decided to update. Specifically check the r/f4se subreddit.

 

2) Check out this thread. It's a complicated process, but you can actually download past versions of most games from the Steam file depot.

 

Let me know what version you were/are using.

Hey bro! Sorry for the delay in replying. I was using 1.10.50 version of the exe before it updates itself to 1.10.64 . I will check the thread you provided and see if I can make things working again. Thank you for your support in this!
