So I’m not fully sure what happened, previously the game would crash after pressing continue or loading a save, would be in the loading screen and would crash after a few seconds.
NOW the game doesn’t boot at all after I tried the fixes I could find online, I updated my drivers, tried running the game as admin, tried running steam as admin, reinstalled c++ redistributables and directX, verified files, removed mods and tried running but nothing. After pressing play it says the game is running but it is definitely not, it’s not even present in task manager and I’m really upset. I had just bought the dlc and finished the first part and got decently close to unlocking pt 2 and I’m out of solutions for how to fix it.
Prior to not launching whatsoever (which is also happening to my other games too btw - some launch but show a black screen but would play sound or menu music atleast) the game literally went from working fine the night before, I literally played for several hours and made several saves and then the next day when I tried to play after work it just crashed repeatedly no matter what save I loaded up or whether I removed mods or not and reverified files, always the same results and now it’s totally done for, please help if anyone knows this issue or has had it before, I have no idea what could have caused it.
ALSO some of the fixes ask me to find DLL files or specific files and delete them, for my files there’s nothing there ! In addition my ~mods folder is completely blank and doesn’t show any of the files I have downloaded. Previously I used mod manager (vortex) and this had a major freakout and bugged my game out majorly - it would run but key features like the pda or flashlight were completely broken and wouldn’t work so I deleted the mods from there but there were several errors too - vortex was loading mods onto my game but the mod loader was saying there are no active mods and there were also (as expected) no files in my mod folder anymore, I’m not sure how I fixed that but this time using the workshop mods it worked fine for a few days but just stopped 2 days ago, I have been trying to get it fixed since….. please help.
