Fallout 4 missing main menu bug after downgrading (Solution)

[JoeMama18]

Hi, If you recently downloaded fallout 4 and downgraded it without a new update being present (Like if Bethesda released another update and your not letting your fallout 4 update to it) you've probably encountered this screen when you boot up the game, its not your mods or your archive validation not being enabled or ini files, for some reason when the game gets downgraded a specific file either gets corrupted or deleted I'm not sure why, but by downloading this mod manually: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11542

 

When you open the mod file place the MainMenu.sfw file into your fallout 4's data folder it should fix your main menu and bring back the all of your options to select.

I did not find this fix myself, I found it during a late night fallout bug fixing session and found a thread talking about it, when I find it I'll post a update with that thread to give credit, but I still wanted to share this fix.

 

(Note I can't guarantee this will fix your specific main menu problem, but it did fix mine, before I found this solution, I tried deleting and editing my ini files and nothing worked, I uninstalled the game and it did not work, I tried disabling my mods and testing them out and nothing worked, I even switched from using vortex to MO2 and of course it did not work either, I tried everything before I found this, so if your problem sounds similar to mine give this a try!)
