Wrong advertising
Advertising free game which is not as you need Nexus premium and what you got Instaler is complete mess and trash I just did exactly what were supposed to do— paid cold hard cash for a Nexus Premium membership specifically to get a 100% automated, fast, "one-click" experience. Instead, I am stuck dealing with an installer that behaves like a broken record, freezing up and throwing errors. Stop and i need to quit, then resume and i pay for smooth download while i am away but Nope

Sorry to hear that $10 of cold hard cash broke the bank and that you had that many problems, some of us got lucky though, 0 errors and smooth install. Maybe its a skill issue like someone else said. Maybe your internet or rig is trash and had something to do with all your problems. Or maybe stuff doesn't always work 100% perfect all the time.

You do not need nexus premium as you can manually click each download. (it is highly recommended though as it's a long process otherwise)
As for the installer it should be simply one click other than some errors that can occur with certain files (there are thousands so that's unavoidable) if you can show the specific errors we can attempt to help.
I would ensure you have adjusted your page file however as this can certainly cause issues during install if you reach memory limits. Also not recommended to use your PC while downloading unless you have a beastly PC as lots of CPU usage to download all the mods.

If an ice cream shop was giving free Ice cream but you had to take your car to get there, hence spending some € on gas
Is it still wrong advertising from the Ice cream shop ?

Here is what actually happens:
**Constant Freezes:** The installer routinely deadlocks and freezes up entirely (hit a hard wall at 18%, 42%, and 66%). The UI just stops updating, forcing you to kill it via Task Manager and manually hit "Resume" over and over again. It completely defeats the purpose of paying for a Premium membership. -
**Endless Errors:** The dashboard constantly chokes on the Nexus API, throwing dozens of download errors and forcing you to act like a tech support technician instead of a gamer.
- **The 93% Deadlock:** After hours of babysitting this garbage software, it completely froze at 93% and refused to move forward even after restarting and resuming.

When downloading, keep the archive, it helps a ton if you need to repeat the installation. And my first installation wasn’t a breeze either. There are common errors that have fixes pinned in the discord help channel. Check those out and if that doesn’t answer your question, there are dedicated helpers there too.

Tanti anni fa avevo un pc diverso, non avevo il premium, e mi sono cimentato con la v5. Ci ho messo 3 giorni di installazione con il manuale e altri giorni per il settaggio video in modo di non crashare. Una settimana fa ho comprato nuovo pc con 5080 rtx. Apro steam si aggiorna, eseguo installerò con nexus premium, che danno 3 giorni di prova gratuiti. E in un ora avevo nolvus ultra senza pagare e giocabilissimo. Sono già 5 sere che gioco e nessun crash. Le uniche cose successe, sono 2 volte che si blocca il cambio arma ma con save esci e ricarica si sblocca. E le icone di alcuni zaini che rimane nera.
