Solarixstar Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Okay, so I have been on and off trying to get my copy of Fallout 4 on Steam to work for way longer than I'd care to admit and with no answer or "fix" doing anything to help me I am left with one option; to ask my betters. I hope this finds the eye of someone who won't troll me...regardless, getting to the point. Awhile back I started wanting to play F4 again, and having run it on my old computer successfully, I knew that my new rig could stand up to it. However, Not as soon as the launcher was finished and it gave me the graphics setting ("low" if that helps any one) and I hit play a black screen flashed onto my laptop's monitor and then 1-2 seconds later "poof" gone and no error to speak of. I have seen people playing this damn game; people do amazing mods for this game I WANT TO TRY IT! Please, someone help! I had mods on with my old computer but i don't remember what they were; I do remember i was using NMM though and as for a load order Fallout4.esmDLCRobot.esmDLCWorkshop01.esmDLCCoast.esmDLCWorkshop02.esmDLCWorkshop03.esmDLCNukaWorld.esm PC is Processor Intel® Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz Installed Ram 8.00 (7.87 usable) Graphics Card Nivida GeForce GTX 960M That's all I know sorry, thanks to anyone in advance and again sorry I know people are probably sick of this post by now.

jdkzombie Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Are you trying to run your old fallout 4 on your new rig without having the same mods installed as you used to? If that's the case, your game is crashing because there are mods being looked for that are missing masters. However, if that is not the case, is there any other info you can provide? How many background processes are running at the same time you are trying to play this on a laptop? Did you configure your .ini files correctly? All drivers updated and current? Have you tried verifying your install through the Steam launcher, to make sure a file didn't somehow corrupt itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarixstar Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 so I somehow need to find the mods that I was running and that may fix this mess? Got it I'll try that, thanks. I have no idea what mods I had set when I set it up originally so this may take a bit but seriously, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted58783396User Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) open nexus mod manager, click on the plugins tab, and note any mod that is in red, click on said mod that is in red, and it will tell you what master file is missing, then simply locate said mod (the missing master file) and download it, this is only applicable if you previously had mods installed. however, if you have done a complete fresh install of fallout 4 (as in fallout 4 was completely deleted, which would include all fallout 4 files, the data folder and all other files, via a steam uninstall, and all mods was deleted/uninstalled in nexus mod manager), and then you re-installed fallout 4 from steam (downloaded and installed again) then what you are suggesting is not applicable. so basically the above would only be applicable, if the entire fallout 4 folder + nexus mod manager folders, was copied onto a new computer.

Solarixstar Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 *sigh* I tried the NMM and it shows 0s across the board; then tried MM and saw all the mods; tried the above tactic and it asked me for Fallout's ini file, apparently it is not in my Fallout 4 files (Steam files); anyone know where it could be?

jdkzombie Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Glad it works, but also a heads up, if you download your mods through nexus, you can actually find your entire download history on your profile here at the Nexus site. Which will show you every single mod file you ever downloaded from Nexusmods., which could help you get the files you want/need back. I had to do that with Skyrim, back before Fo4 launched. My hard drive that had Skyrim installed crashed hard, and I had to get a new one, and I found the download list here, and was able to get all the mods I was using back, since I was near the 250 plug in limit with Skyrim, just like I'm at the 200 mark with Fallout. Fortunately I backup my saves and ini's on my main hdd, so I still had those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
