i'm also having black screen when open game with f4se, how to limit that buffout 4? Sorry for new thread, because idk why i can't reply the fixed post.
EDIT: I managed to work, but main menu bugged... anyone know how to fix?
got it working but my main menu screen is bugged. it has no text in the menu box and tells me that its outdated.
I used MO2 to install this and the rest and manually installed f4se. I use the f4se option to launch the game in MO2. what did i do wrong and how can i fix it?
I was having the same issue, from what I could find out it was related to the mainmenu.swf file in the interface folder on Backported Archive2 Support System not overwriting the new main menu (the mainmenu.swf in the games ba2 files). Even with using MO2, it wouldn't load the swf.
What worked for me was installing the main menu replacer option of F76 Styled UI Skin. This worked to replace the updated main menu, so the text showed up again and allowed me to load into saves.
EDIT: Sorry, was in a piss-poor mood due to shenanigans. I'm not upset with you, rather with Todd and how the newest update doesn't even run Fo4 anymore for me.
Edit: Just used this method, it works perfectly, so you probably didn't follow the directions. In addition to this patcher, you need F4SE Version 0.6.23, you need the F4SE Address Library Version 1.10.163.0 and you need the Backported Archive2 Support System just as he says in the sticky. You install all of those correctly and you use this patcher correctly and it should work fine and your game shouldn't be broken at all.
I followed all the instructions. I changed my F4SE, got BASS, and got the exact Address Library. The game stopped working and wouldn't get past the MO2 modlist screen.
Hey, so everything seems to be working perfectly But when i tried sorting my mod plugins i got error messages: "Caught exception while trying to read Bethesda archive file at "C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4\Data\Fallout4 - Textures2.ba2": BA2 file header version is invalid" and other ba2 files, like the cc ones is this to be expected?
I have all the mods installed and the downgrader said it worked, however when i try to open fallout through the f4se loader it says i need to update fallout, am i being an idiot or is something wrong?
Same AF. Followed Qolore's tips on it. Made the changes to Buffout. Tried removing Buffout all together. Nothing is working. I hate when I have to see people saying they did everything I did and it works for them. Obfuscates the problem solving.
I'm assuming MO2 is automatically handling my loose file overwriting since it greys out the archive invalidation option anyway? Just dunno wut I'm doin wrong since this 'NG' update...
yeah it specifically says that my fallout version is out of date and incompatible and as a complete side note, F4SE straight up wont launch with or without the downgrader now, im so happy.....
Ohhh, that explains a lot. That explains why the game still has that fps drops and broken optimization that came with the next gen. Thanks. F*** Bethesda!
Carxt, where is your tip jar? I'd like to add some bottlecaps to it.
Please excuse me if you've already answered this in the posts. I didn't see it. Some mod authors have a portal when you DL but I did not see the prompt.
Also, works like a charm even with all my mods bolted together like a set of raider power armor.
I should have known before I tried this stuff. All instructions followed, all required files installed, crash on start. Now I have to download the game through the console again to get it working.
I had the same problem. waited for the next update that came out recently, tryed to play with MO2 but ofc that didnt work but i noticed the steam launcher worked then added the new f4se without the scr files as a "non steam game" and got it to load without mods after letting it update, when it would not load before. Then i opened the folder version of f4se. and no mods loaded again then MO2 with all the mods now the game works on current version 1.10.9 with the old mods installed but my dll files say they have no known version data 0.0000.0 ect when scanning plugins. then it Times out waiting for game mapping and registerpapyrusfunctions_hook loads last but all my mods work fine now, idk why
my problem with this downgrader was crashing on start with a error on buffout for the .exe then after i removed it, F4se said dynamic link was not found at target with Fallout4's exe looking like this "c:/target/Fallout4.exe. was not found"

"in MO2 click the puzzles pieces and open the ini editor you can access the "custom (something).ini" in there you should type this :
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
save and exit and start the game"
shout out to them i hope i got the name right
Thanks very much.

EDIT: I got achievements, it's all good. To anyone curious - your game will still be connected and enabled for achievements even by downgrading
F*** Bethesda!
It keeps telling me "REL/Relocation.h(600):failed to open: Data/F4SE/version-1-10-163-0.bin"
Edit: nvm got it to work. Thanks so much!
