Problem: I can open the launcher, but once I press play, it gives me a black screen, then a few seconds after, the game crashes.
Any error messages or crash reports?: None.
Do you have any mods?: I had a mod to increase game performance, but I deleted it whilst trying to get the game working again.
What have you tried doing to fix this?: I've tried these, none of them worked.
  • Verifying game cache
  • Uninstalling mods.
  • Restarting steam
  • Restarting PC.
  • Opening game in windowed mode, borderless and bordered.
  • Clean reinstall of game.

Alright, I just fixed it. Turns out I did something earlier with the fallout 4 ini files that screwed the game up. So I deleted the inis, opened fallout 4 up again. It played just fine.

Guess what caused all of this in the first place? A corrupted save file. If I had tried opening any other file. I would have figured it out. Welp. I guess better late than never.
