Game Crashing right on launch

[JoyousMarmot]

So i just recently purchased Fallout 76 and wanted to hop into the game with a buddy of mine. However, we have both been having the same issues where the game keeps crashing right on launch. I have tried several troubleshooting methods including verifying the files, re-installation, updating win 11 drivers, updating NVIDIA drivers to the latest versions, and giving admin privileges for the game. My system specs are as follows:
OS - Win 11 Home,
Proc - AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS with Radeon Graphics 3.00 GHz
RAM - 16GB
VGA - NVIDIA - RTX 2060 MaxQ with 6GB memory
DX12

My buddy has similar specs however, its an intel I5 10300, with an RTX 2060 as well

I have the same issue. Any fix?

Having the same. Black screen, crash. Used to run fine. Tried a re-install, clearing any 'mods' & the my documents, restarting, capping FPS in Nvidia, closing any overlay programs,, verifying files. No errors in event viewer. Rather annoying...

Had to open a support ticket, but the ticketing system sucks too. Hope they can figure this out.

Delete 76 ini file.
Make sure all Win services are at default.
Verify 76 files.
Check beth 76 has an udate.
Update nvidia and allow geforce experience to load.
Worked for me.

Same issue. Thank you for the info anyway. I appreciate your help.

Likewise. I've also tried:

Clean boot (disabled all non windows services & except steam service)
Disabled all startup programs
Uninstalled Rivatuner
Removed any controllers
Reinstall Directx & Microsoft C++
Reinstall the game (tried several HDD/SSD locations)
Run the game as admin
Run the game via geforce experience
Clean graphics driver uninstall & reinstall
Delete the fallout 76 folder in "documents/my games"
Forcing windowed mode in steam command line
changing: bSteamEnabled = 1 to 0 & back to 1
Changing fullscreen to be enabled & borderless disabled
Changing monitor refresh rate
Changing game to run in High power mode in graphics card control panel
Changing resolution
check dxdiag for any reports of crash (there's nothing)
Adding it as a firewall exception
Adding it as an anti virus exception
Tried it on a second Steam account (in case it was somehow banned?)

It used-to work via steam after the initial move, and the very old Bethesda launcher version actually does launch without issue. It's something up with this version
I even tried copying the old fallout76 game from the " Bethesda launcher" version to steam, forcing a verify of files - and nothing.
I tried just copying the old bethesda.net fallout76 exe over - the game launches & naturally crashes shortly after. So it's definitely something is up with the fallout76.exe

Reinstall windows.

While I appreciate the advice, that's not a solution for a single game not working, more of a workaround. I'll see if Bethesda can actually provide a fix.

I had this problem and I discovered if I waited until the second opening screen with the scorched on the bridge before I "Press any key to start", that the game launched fine. I think I was just overwhelming the internet connection or my computer by starting the game while it was still loading.

Nothing shows up - it crashes before ANY screen

I get the spinny video play at the start which is the video taken from fallout4 just recolored rainbow a bit but after that its crash , no error message nothing. cant even find a crash log file for clues on the cause.
