Vortex error

[craldark]

Vortex has come up with the unhelpful (and uncopy/pastable) error message:

The primary tool for Fallout 4 is no longer available. Quick launch has reverted to the game's executable.

What on earth does that mean? :(

[ggeymer]

it means you should delete this ♥♥♥♥ and download mo2

What it means is that you should use the Steam executable not the F4SE one or whatever one you created, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4 and then make a shortcut for the Fallout4.exe and put it on your desktop. From this point forward you launch from there.

I have this too, I just ignore it, mods still work.

I already did that from hour 1 of the upgrade as soon as I learnt not to use F4SE. What has this got to do with the Vortex mod manager?

[craldark]

I'm just wondering... I read somewhere that the game can be launched from Vortex (though I never found it and could never be arsed to bother.) Maybe that's what they mean by 'quick launch?' So maybe their quick launch used to run the F4SE launcher? And it's just discovered it's not there anymore because I uninstalled it days ago.

Why are people so incapable of speaking in clear English and say exactly what they mean. The answer is they live in their own bubble and assume everyone lives with them and knows everything they know.

Guesswork leads to errors.

Thing is, it broke my macro which automatically opens the mod panel. OK, now fixed by increasing the pre-delay from 4 seconds to 11.

I think F4SE broke because it is literally used to CHEAT in the game. It's a scripting engine, and probably used to do illegal things in the game. The mod manager has nothing to do with it, it's just Bethesda, they for many reasons don't want players cheating by using mods that have a lot of scripting on them.

F4SE is a Script Extender, yes.

It allows modmakers to implement features that would not be possible with only the mod creation tools Bethesda gave, and no, it has nothing to do with cheating.

It could be used to create cheat scripts, but you know, you can always hit the tilde key and turn godmode on, without F4SE.

It allows modmakers to do all kinds of stuff, like adding new mechanics to the game. For example, in New Vegas, there was no sprint button that I was aware of. Using NVSE, they added that functionality. This would have been impossible without NVSE which is why NVSE is required for that mod to work.

Yes, for example, in the past you were not allowed to use the console for anything or fast travel in survival mode, you needed mods that would break the mechanics of the game to do so. In order to get these mods you needed F4SE.

There's also a mod out there that re-enables achievements even with the use of mods and that also requires F4SE. These are examples, albeit minor, that would be illegal in the sense of gamebreaking mechanics.

While F4SE can be used to cheat/circumvent intended behavior, it's not always used as such.

There are plenty of mods that need F4SE that don't do stuff like that. And it's not "illegal". It's fricken achievements, whoop-de-doo.

And fast travel in survival? pfft. Who cares? It's not like it's an MMORPG.
