TRADERSMYTHERS Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Recently I upgraded my PC to play Fallout 4 and wanted to take advantage of of the many fine mods on the Nexus that either are too big for Xbox One or not available on Bethesda.net. I admit to being far from a computer or program expert. The PC processor is a i7-7700K 4.20GHZ 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1151 (Kaby Lake) [+96], 16GB memory and a GTX 1060 graphics card. According to what I saw online, what I have should be able to run the game with mods with no problems. I loaded the game with STEAM and had no problems. After playing the game intensely on Xbox One since it came out there were mods I wanted from my previous sources, so I downloaded some from the Creation Club and some of my favorites from Bethesda.net that were not on the Nexus. Most of my mods came from the Nexus and due to my lack of experience I use the Nexus mod manager. Before I started I did a little research and saw that others were running mods from the same three sources with no problems, so I gave it a try. Just as I was about to start the mod manager noted "game will not run" and I had too many plugins, so I deleted a number of mods till I got down to 187 installed & active mods with 188 total mods and 255 plugins. The "game will not run" notice disappeared and I started the game. At first it would not run (hit start and the blue circle spun endlessly) and I felt the game still thought I had too many mods, so I disabled them in the manager, started the game and re-enabled the mods before I started playing. Everything seemed to go well and I played till I got to the surface and went to Sanctuary. Some mods were clearly working, like CBBE. My original intent was to quickly explore, see what mods were working/causing issues and make adjustments before starting a long term game. Had to work a few days, came back, updated the mods, updated the Nexus mod manager as I got a popup noting a new version and then tried to play again.Once I hit "play" from the start menu the screen went black and the little blue circle went around and around endlessly once again. Ctrl/Alt/delete brought up the task manager, but I couldn't close Fallout, so I used start and restart to try again. Tried disabling all mods through the Nexus manager. Always the same. Uninstalled the game and tried again and no combination will get the game to play. The only changes I made in the options menu were to eliminate Godrays and tone down a few graphics points to improve frame rates, especially downtown where I had plenty of trouble on Xbox One. Tried resetting that, same result. Any ideas what the guy who's fresh out of the PC vault is doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossayos Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It might be the latest Bethesda patch causing trouble. Your problems obviously started when exiting vault 111. That's where my game started to become unplayable since the latest CC upgrade. CTDs by the numbers, before even reaching Sanctuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRADERSMYTHERS Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 It could be the Bethesda patch. I got out of the vault, noted a couple of the mods I was using were working, advanced toward Sanctuary and saved for the night (work the next morning) without incident. Once I went back to the game a few days later I couldn't get it to start. I was wondering if it was the update of the Nexus mod manager that caused an issue. I'll keep trying.
