Hapitok Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I just recently got back into the mood for Fallout 4 modded gaming and after updating F4SE, the f4se_loader exe doesn't fully launch. The Data window opens very briefly(barely a second with no text on it) and the game doesn't even launch despite Steam saying it did launch. I haven't encountered this kind of problem in the past and it's only been like this now that I'm back in the mood to play. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue like mine or been able to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 How did you install it?The f4se_loader.exe should be in the game's root directory, and not inside a folder named F4se_x_xx_xxx whatever the version number is F4SE Install [ Installation ] 1. Copy the dll, f4se_loader.exe, and f4se_steam_loader.dll files to your Fallout installation folder. This is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Fallout 4\, but if you have installed to a custom Steam library then you will need to find this folder yourself. The files in _for_test_only are, as it says, for test only. 2. Launch the game by running the copy of f4se_loader.exe that you placed in the Fallout installation folder.

Hapitok Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share Posted January 10, 2021 Surprisingly I followed the instructions correctly, even watched several videos from 2020 about F4SE installation to make sure I got it right.It's just after "launching" the f4se_loader exe, the usual program window pops up but the game doesn't even launch at all. Steam tracked the game to be on for barely 3 seconds. Believe me when I say this is truly a first for me, I even did a full reinstall of F4SE(scrubbing all its files out of the F4's Installation folder) just to see if anything changed, which lead me to asking on here for guidance or to find out if there is a similar issue going around.

Well, this is the Vortex SUpport Forum, so unless you're trying to launch f4se with Vortex, then I suggest you post this in the Fallout 4 support forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you set f4se as PRIMARY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you set f4se as PRIMARY? I actually did, again I have no idea why launching F4SE from Vortex isn't working now. It was working just fine back in October so I have no idea what happened to cause this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the START IN and TARGET paths set correctly? ex: may be different f4rom yours as far as drive and initial folder go TARGET - D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\f4se_loader.exe START IN - D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
