F4SE + MO2 2.1.1 Can't load F4SE with MO2.

[Apophis]

Hello all.  I'm a longtime lurker and have used the STEP guide as a baseline for modding for the past year.  Thanks to all that have contributed, it has helped me immensely.

 

So here's the deal.  I'm starting a new run of Fallout 4.  This is my first time using MO2 with this particular game.  I use it for Oldrim and it works perfectly.  The problem is that F4SE will not run the game from MO2.  The strange thing is, if I run the game from the Steam Launcher, it runs.  If I run Fallout4.exe directly, it runs.  If I run either of these programs through MO2, it runs.  If I run F4SE by itself, it runs.  But when I run F4SE through MO2, I get a black screen for a minute or so and the program crashes to desktop without an error message.  I am using Windows 10 with the latest update and an Nvidia GeForce 970 with current drivers.

 

I've looked all over for solutions.  So far, I've tried,

-Running in windowed mode

-Running in bordered windowless mode

-Running in fullscreen

-Running without any mods whatsoever except DLC

-Running F4SE and MO2 as administrator

-Elevating Fallout.exe to administrator

-Verifying game cache

-Reinstalling F4SE

-Reinstalling Fallout 4

-Making a F4SE shortcut through MO2 and running that

 

It just ding-dong-diddly won't work.  Am I missing something?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response.  I did have it installed to its own drive, that being said, I fixed it: it was a problem between the seat and the keyboard.

 

I mistakingly thought that since I had all the plugins in the right pane disabled, that meant that no mods were loading.  I didn't think to disable the mods in the left pane as well.  Once I did that, F4SE started right up.  Afterwards it was just a matter of narrowing down what mod was causing the issue, which turned out to be Def UI.  So I'll figure that out.

 

Kudos

You haven't provided any logs or your INIs so we can only guess on the installation or the actual process of starting the game via MO2. However I will offer one suggestion that has been consistently stumping many new MO2 users: do not install MO2 into either the game or the Steam folder structure. Best option is for MO2 to be in a folder of its own directly off the root drive, e.g. C:\MO2\
