CTD after purge

[GadgetNeon]

On Vortex ver. 0.19.1, trying to mod Fallout New Vegas. Only have one _very_ large mod installed (New California).

 

Game was going fine, until I wanted to download Weightless Grenades mod. After attempting to install it Vortex pop up claimed it would have problems with (as best as I can remember) a 'separate instance of Vortex' if I didn't purge mods. After having done so, the game would crash on startup regardless of what I did.

Any help is appreciated.

1) Did you install New California using Vortex?

2) Does Vortex start successfully?

3) Did Purge complete?

 

If it did, check your game directory for any left-over mod pieces. Delete anything that looks out of place and use Steam to validate your game.

At that point, Fallout NV should be like a new install - and should run without mods.

Adding mods to New California is risky at best, and should not be done unless New California lists it as a supported mod.

[BigBizkit]

I assume you did not install New California with Vortex as it comes with its own installer.

 

Did you use an outdated of Vortex prior to using 0.19.1?

 

In any event, when you purged, you probably removed (temporarily, not a huge deal) some files your current setup is dependent on. After purging, you should redeploy and see if the game starts up again. If not, please have your DATA folder open when deploying and see if files are actually being put in there / the file count goes up.

Okay, so I kinda dragged my feet to get back to it, and by that time there was an update for vortex. I figured it was safer to do a fresh reinstall. We can call this 'solved', I... think.
