Fallout4 Quick Launcher (F4QL)
A simple program with a retro lore friendly sort of theme that replaces the default Fallout 4 Launcher, it simply launches the game automatically without the need interact at all, in other words "It just works"
FEATURES
Steam Supported
-Hitting play on Steam boots right into my launcher which intern will automatically launch Fallout4
Controller Friendly
-Highly useful if you're a controller/Big picture/Steam Stream user, no longer do you need to get up, walk to your PC, and hit play!
F4SE Support
-Script Extender version available to Launch the game directly via the F4SE.exe!
Mod Organizer Support
-Now supports Mod Organizer! So all your mods get loaded!!
Time Saver
-It might not seem like much but waiting for the launcher to load up after already hitting play on steam to only hit play again makes little sense to me, this fixes this issue! Speeding up the process of launching Fallout
Toggle On/Off
-Toggles easily making restoring the normal launcher when needed a 10 second job by using the tool provided in the download!
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
There are three versions of this launcher, one is for the vanilla Fallout 4 another is for the Script extender (F4SE) and finally the last one is for if you use Mod organizer, make sure you download the correct version depending on if you have F4SE installed or not.
To make life easier for you guys I have basically included a installer within the launcher itself meaning you can simply place my launchers .exe (providing you don't rename the exe!!!) in the root directory of Fallout 4 (NOT DATA) and simply run the launcher and it will detect the file structure and rename the required files to make the launcher function (Renames original Fallout4Launcher.exe to xxxxxxxx & puts my launcher in it's place). It will prompt you through this installation process it's quite simple.
Once the installation is complete thats it simply launch Fallout via Steam or shortcut and my launcher will load in its place!!
Mod Organizer Users!!
In order to get F4QL to work with mod organizer you need to create a shortcut for mod organizer you can do this from within Mod organizer at the top right, it will create one on your Desktop. Simply rename this shortcut to MO then place it in your root fallout 4 directory, make sure you get the name right otherwise the launcher won't be able to find it.
IMPORTANT:GAME UPDATES & Steams Verify Integrity
I'm fairly certain that if Fallout updates/you Verify Integrity via steam the launcher will be removed due to the fact that in the eyes of Steam my launcher is a different file size/checksum to the original launcher aka it will think its corrupt/broken so will proceed to remove my launcher and re-download the original launcher in it's place.
How to fix??
The fix is simply re-download the launcher from here BUT FIRST you need to make sure my launcher has been fully removed as it may have only be partly removed and this may cause the installer to fail/error. Follow the cleanup guide below
Cleanup
Navigate to your Fallout 4 root directory (Where Fallout4.exe is) and delete the following files if they exist
-OrgigLauncher.exe
-Toggle.exe
Once you have done so just follow the Installation section as if you are installing this from scratch :)
Anti-Virus Flags
It has come to my attention that my launcher flags up in some antivirus software, this is a false positive purely because it renames another .exe (The default launcher) this is seen as malicious from the point of view of antivirus. I simply added this feature to make the installation of this launcher automated. So please allow my program and don't let your anti-virus block it, if a mod wants to take a look at the source code to make sure it's clean don't hesitate to pm me.
