Fallout 4 Crashing on startup

[br54jr]

Every time I try to start fallout 4 up the game starts but immedietly crashes. Trying to load fallout 4 in F4SE or just the regular default launcher results in the same crash. I've uninstalled all the mods I am currently running but to no succsess. The best I could get was to uninstall and reinstall the game. The game worked at first with no incident however once I quit the game and tried to start it up again it continued to crash every time. I'm getting really sick and tired of this and I need help.

You may have crap left over from mods, did you delete any remaining fallout files and mod folders.

I'm having the same issue but I was playing this game earlier today (like 2 hours ago) and it was working fine, now it wont start

Disable AV and try running it (Avast, and maybe Trend Micro seem to be the worst)
Run the game in administrator mode
Run the game in different compatibilty modes
Let the game auto detect graphics
Set the game resolution the same as desktop resolution (Important, if different always crashes the game on my PC, might not on yours)
Verify cache
Update graphics drivers (Yes we have seen them 1 year out of date)
Try optimising in Nvidia experience (If you have Nvidia), It will also tell you your specs "My Rig"
Re-boot your PC
Run in windowed mode
Run in borderless window
Update Steam
Turn off Steam overlay
Turn on "Prefer max performance" in Nvidia control panel
Disable any mods (If you have them).
Delete local content and delete any remaining Fallout and Mod directories, re-install Fallout (No mods).
Delete fallout4custom.ini, falloutprefs.ini and fallout.ini (There may be more than one of each)
Close any background programs (music, skype, the film on the second monitor etc).
Re-boot your PC
Restart Steam

I reset my computer and it works fine now

If your having problems, the first thing you should do is reboot.

I had to hunt down and delete every .ini file I could find and thankfully it's working now with and without mods. Thanks for the help.

After a few days tweeking everything known to man it was simply a case o AVAST! Thanks for the heads up on AV.

Simply turn shields off for 2 min load the game and it works fine.

That you soooooo much, I was having this same problem as the poster but could not figure out what it was. Turns out I had to give steam access through AVG
