F4SE BROKEN? READ HERE! PSA/DOWNLOAD

[Yhwach]

Last thread update: 5/27/2024

The 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim's "Anniversary Edition" patch.
An update is available, but I'm sure it can use more testing.
All native code plugins (.dlls) need to be updated by their creators for 1.10.980.
Old native code plugins not loading is not a problem with F4SE.
Do not email with questions about progress.

If links are wrapped around brackets (what these are)it means an update isn't out yet, but you can click the link to see if there is one as this thread isn't automatically updated as soon as an update is out.

If brackets are around the "Installer" link, it means the setup file for the installer wasn't uploaded yet and will be made available eventually.

Without F4SE
Click "Steam" at the top left, and click "Go Offline..."
Steam no longer offers an option to completely disable updates, so setting the steam client offline would let you play your game in its current state without being forced to update.
There are two issues if you choose to do this:

1) If there's already an update in progress, and you either paused it, or made it go offline whilst the update isn't set to launch on update, you'll get a download error and the game will refuse to launch
2) Sometimes you won't be able to play the game offline until you update the game, ignoring the first point.
This can't be avoided, and you'll wind up having to set it to launch on update, and bypass steam using f4se.


With F4SE

• Go to your Steam Library
  
• Right Click Fallout 4
  
• Click on Properties
  
• Go to the Updates tab
  
• Click the box at the top under 'Automatic Updates' and select "Only update this game when I launch it"
  
• Click Close

From here, you can launch the game with f4se without the fear of the game updating, and when f4se is updated you may then update it.

Remember to back up for Fallout4.exe in case fallout 4 updates!

How to Rollback Fallout 4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLQI_DVZfaQ

How to UPDATE F4SE

1. Right clicking Fallout 4 in your Steam Library and clicking Properties
   
2. Go to the "Local Files" tab, and click on "Browse Local Files..."
   
3. Look for a file that contains ""f4se_1_10_"
   
4. Remove any files which have a lower number than the new one you installed
   For example, you just installed "f4se_1_10_89", so remove the one that has a lower number at the end, ""f4se_1_10_83"
   
5. Refer to "Getting an "Invalid Version", or "Wrong Version" error?" if you're getting those errors.

Getting an "Invalid Version", or "Wrong Version" error?

Try either one:

1. One or more of your mods hasn't been updated for the current f4se yet.
   You can find your plugins directory by:
   - Right clicking Fallout 4 in your Steam Library and clicking Properties
   - Go to the "Local Files" tab, and click on "Browse Local Files..."
   - Double click on Data, then f4se, then plugins
   All of your F4SE plugins are in here, find out which one isn't updated and temporarily uninstall or move it out of there until it is. (check on the mod page when you can)
   
   
2. You didn't install F4SE correctly.
   This is done when you haven't removed the older f4se .dll files and they're being loaded instead of the new ones, which you can fix by:
   - Right clicking Fallout 4 in your Steam Library and clicking Properties
   - Go to the "Local Files" tab, and click on "Browse Local Files..."
   What you're looking for is files like this one: "f4se_1_10_xx.dll"
   Delete the one that has a lower number than the one you installed and you're set.

How to backup your Fallout4.exe Automatically

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26956

How to backup your Fallout4.exe Manually

• Go to your steam library
  
• Right click Fallout 4 and click Properties
  
• Click on Local Files
  
• Click on 'Browse Local Files...'
  
• Find where Fallout4 or Fallout4.exe is
  
• Right click Fallout4.exe or Fallout4, and click on copy (or use CTRL + C)
  
• Right click outside of the files, and right click, and click on "Paste" (or use CTRL + V)

Now you have a back up of your fallout 4 executable and can then replace it when the game updates with this old one by:

• Go to your steam library
  
• Right click Fallout 4 and click Properties
  
• Click on Local Files
  
• Click on 'Browse Local Files...'
  
• Right Click on Fallout4 or Fallout4.exe and Select "Rename", and rename it to something else, or just add numbers after it
  
• Go to the backup you made, and right click, then select "Rename"
  
• Rename it from Fallout 4 - (Copy) or whatever you named it to, to Fallout4

You should now be able to use f4se with fallout 4, however, there are some things you should be aware of:

A) If Fallout 4 - Interface was updated, the game may not work correctly
B) If a lot of fallout 4 files were updated, including interface, your mods may not work correctly

You guys complaining need to figure out how to turn off auto-updates if you don't want them.

No, bethy needs to figure out how to fix their game w/o releasing minor patches that are also intended to weasle some CC ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ into peoples computers. Thats what needs to happen. But you damned pro-CCer's are so damned blind to the fact the Bethy is anally raping you all with their money hungery cashgrabs.

People like you all are why expansion packs no longer exist and all we have now are "DLC's" and "Paid mods that arn't paid mods but you have to pay money to get something that mods the game". Start getting angry dammit. Why does it always fall to the older PC crowd to keep the damn corporate a-holes from becoming greedy little ♥♥♥♥♥?

[OMG Inw4lid!]

So second update that changed absolutely nothing for me except that i can't start the game. Again. And i don't even use F4SE. I wish i could at least opt out of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ updates.

[Revengance]

Can someone help me roll this update back orrrrr would an exe from someone work? Please help!

[JL Kills]

wtf, I don't understand why we have to rollback to a previous version. I'm just trying to play my mods on my new computer and now F4SE says some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about having a new version. I didn't update anything and I was just playing yesterday.

Bethesda broke the game again to try and force people to buy CCCs.

The new "update" "added" pets and bugfixes, which were already available as mods, which this update broke.

Rolling back takes a little bit of prep work, but it's not very hard. I'll go full detail so that you can redo this for future versions.

1. Create a Steam shortcut with the "-console" argument. A common Windows installation would then be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -console
   
2. Exit Steam, then re-open it using the shortcut. You will now have CONSOLE next to your name on the Steam window.
   
3. Go to the SteamDB.info page for Fallout 4[steamdb.info]. Take note of the appID: 377160 - this will never change, but is needed. Click "Depots".
   
4. Find "Fallout 4 exe" and write down the ID - this may be different between languages, but if it isn't it will be 377162. Click that ID, then click "Manifests"
   
5. Find and write down the ManifestID for the second most recent version. In this example, it is January 24, 2018: 3055551067152305307
   
6. Back in Steam, click "CONSOLE" and run this command, substituting the needed data: download_depot <appID> <depotID> <manifestID> - in this case, it would be download_depot 377160 377162 3055551067152305307
   
7. Wait for the download to finish. It will display a directory path to the download. On a common Steam installation, this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_377160\depot_377162\. Navigate there and you will find a single file - Fallout 4.exe. Copy it.
   
8. Open your Fallout 4 installation folder. This can be easily done from Steam by right-clicking Fallout 4 in your Steam library, Properties>Local Files>Browse Local Files...
   
9. Paste the copied Fallout 4.exe here. You will be asked if you want to overwrite - YES
   
10. You're done! Once F4SE updates, verify game integrity to re-patch Fallout 4.exe to the current version.

These steps may be adapted to ANY Steam-delivered game, which is especially useful to modders who need access to removed assets (I'm looking at you, Starbound).

You will continue to get them until you and others write to BGS to say you're sick of it.

You guys complaining need to figure out that auto-updates are mandatory if you want to understand why you're an idiot.

Bethesda proved they don't care what consumers say after they snubbed the core TES fanbase. Anything written to Bethesda will promptly be shredded and used to line the cages of their server-hamsters.

They can't shred a mountain, clearly there are people who are lazy.

F4SE has updated.

Ilja had a very good point in another thread that I will completely reword and put my own spin on.

For as much complaining as everyone does when updates happen, we should really be thankful that those people are willing to keep updating the SE.

[Dominicus]

You wouldn't lie would you?

[bLaCkShAd0w]

Yup agreed chef, This is the second one they released within 24 hours of the update. Service with a smile!

Updating the creation club and not the actual bugs that are there from day one? are you blind or just plain naive?

Talking about the script extender team not bethesda.

Whose blind and naive now?

Being placated over the fact that the SE has been updated is kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥. If everyone would quit being so damned passive about CC, then the F4SE team wouldn't have to keep updating the thing. Whats going to happen when they eventually get tired of updating the damned thing every month?

Start looking at the bigger picture, quit acting like a bunch of pups that just got a treat, and start attacking the threat.
