(Solved) Can't launch Fallout 4 via MO2 after weeks of not playing

[LesboIsBesto]

After weeks of not playing Fallout 4 or any games i mod with stuff from here, I come back to play a bit & MO2 refuses to launch the game properly. it just keeps going non responsive in task manager & never makes it past a black screen. I tested launching without mo2 through steam & f4se directly in file explorer & it worked both times without fail. I even tested fallout new vegas which I mod with MO2 to see if the manager is affecting both games & it wasn't, vegas is fine too. then I checked both Skyrim SE & its having the same issue while Oldrim is having its own clusterfuck of issues here while Oblivion is also somehow functional.

 

I have no idea how to determine whats wrong with the manager. the only notifications i get are files in overwrite which is intended & the manager is on version 2.5.1rc2 as it says on the bottom left of the window, All my executables are listed correctly & MO2 isnt giving me an error or warning like if a mod is missing a dependency so idk how else to find out whats wrong so I can fix it. When launching the game, no other error window or light up shows under it like the kind that does for Skyrim when it fails to launch. And NO my fallout is not updated past the April 2024 update that was the next gen one for console, my appmanifest file is read only & always has been since the last version of the game before that update released.

 

Need ideas on what to look for please as i havent had this issue with MO2 modded games before,

 

EDIT: Resolved from MO2 discord by running chkdsk on drive containing MO2 & slowly re-enabling every mod

I can't get anything to launch through MO2. Which is messed up, because I haven't updated it and none of the games have been updated recently either.

 

Fallout actually gets the furthest, at least getting to the "Press any key to continue" screen, but then crashes to desktop as soon as I press any key. Skyrim goes to a black screen and crashes, and Starfield won't even give me a black screen, it's crashing before the game even loads.

 

I don't know what the hell's going on.

 

EDIT: I found a reference to some mods (which I'm not even using) not working correctly on Windows 11 24H2, which Microsoft forced out last week. I wonder if something in MO2 or all of the BGS games is having issues with Windows itself since the update?
