nicolaec99 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I was playing fine until I decided to start a new game so I first removed a couple mods before starting a new game I removed the mod maxwell's world,and then added Female Head Redux,Murdering Chainsaw,Beantown Interiors with the Full OptiBeantown Interiors Full Optimization Patch, and then enabled them and tried to start a new game and it acted like it was loading but then the screen loading wheel froze and then the screen went black and the game crashed and I know the cause is not the mods as I tried starting new game without any mods still same issue is there any way to find the cause or is there just a fix?

HeyYou Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The problem with texture mods, and various others, is that simply disabling them in whatever mod manager you use, doesn't actually remove them from the game. There are some mods that specifically suggest you do NOT have them enabled when starting a new game. Don't know if any you are using fall into that category though.

HeyYou Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Did you also tell your mod manager that you uninstalled everything? If not, then probably a fair few of your texture mods were still there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this will help you or not, but for reasons I can't determine, when starting a new game on my Fallout 4, it does the black loading screen with a spinny thingy in the corner for a while, then crashes to desktop. I discovered quite by accident, however, that if I start tapping 'enter', it will force it into the opening cinematic movie and start as normal. Since I discovered that, I can start a new game reliably. Give it a try! It might work or it might not - hopefully it does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might work or it might not - hopefully it does!unfortunatly I have tried tapping the enter key but did nothing and when it goes to the black screen there is no loading icon on the screen the only loading spinny thingy is there before the black screen but first the loading screen with spinny thingy is normaal at first then spins slower and then the spinny thingy stops as if it's frozen and I hear the thene menue song skip then the screen goes black and then crashes but I thank you for trying I did see other people only had part of the issaue I had but nothing on google or yahoo with the ecact same issue so my issue is currently a unknown issue that i am confuzzled about, but maybe it's one of my ini files that is the cause I'll have to try to uninstall and delete every FO4 file again but this time delete the ini files and all the files in Documents\My Games\Fallout4 then try again to reinstall and see if it fixes the issue.

HeyYou Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Don't forget the file in C:\Users\yourusername\app data\fallout 4 as well. (that's a hidden folder, so, you will need to enable viewing hidden files/folders as well.) May want to reset your mod manager as well. (uninstall it???)

That's a bit above my knowledge level though! When you did all of that, did you also uninstall and delete every trace of your mod manager (I think you said you used Vortex) and other 'third-party' installed software too? Have you installed anything else (non-Fallout 4-related) on your machine in the time between the game working properly and the game not working?
