We appreciate how many of you have already downloaded our game - we've been hearing amazing things.

If you're having issues with installing, we recommend trying these steps:

FALLOUT LONDON QUICK START AND TROUBLESHOOTING:

Before Starting:
- Uninstall Fallout 4 from Steam or GOG
- Delete any old ini files in or this entire folder:
Documents\My Games\Fallout4 (you can back them up)
- Delete this folder in your appdata:
AppData\Local\Fallout4
- Uninstall any mod managers and remove mods (E.g. vortex, mo2)
- Remove any "CC" content in the Fallout 4 Data folder (E.g ccBGSFO4001-PipBoy(Black) - Main) in:
:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4 OR
:\GOG\Fallout 4 GOTY

STEAM:
- Install Fallout 4 GOTY or Fallout 4 & only these DLC's:
Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, Contraptions Workshop, Vault-Tec Workshop, Wasteland Workshop
- Do not use the high-res texture pack, it can cause textures issues with Fallout: London and possible crash!
- Download the Official FOLON Downgrader
- Open the downgrader and find the folder that contains your copy of Fallout 4
This is likely to be :\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4
- Type your username + password
This is so the downgrader can confirm your licence to Fallout and access the depot
- Confirm your login on the Steam Guard. Keep this open as you may need to authorise 2 or 3 times.

- This may take a while depending on your internet speeds

- If you have issues with this, you can downgrade manually

GOG:

Once you have installed the base game it's a good idea to launch it atleast once.

FALLOUT LONDON COMMON BUGS:

Q: I manually installed Fallout London (via Vortex, Mo2 or by-hand) and I have X bug, spe
A: Make sure you are opening f4se_loader.exe NOT "Fallout4.exe". We recommend using our installer instead of a mod manager

Q: I have an issue with the downgrader
A: Check the nexus page to see our latest updates, but if the error is to do with Steam Guard, you may need to disable it temporarily

Q: I cannot choose my characters gender at the start

If you are still having trouble, a workaround is to mash T as soon as the screen fades to black.
You can also try changing your graphics settings to Low.

Q: I am crashing/infinite loading when starting a new game, or is freezing on a black screen and white lines
A: Try starting a new game again and spam the skip (normally the T button). If this doesn't work then you will need to reinstall using the guide.

Q: I'm stuck at a red door that wont open
A: press ~ or @ then enter "tcl" (without the ") then ~ or @ and walk thru the door, press E behind it and then enter tcl again

Q: I'm running in 4K and having issues
A: Try running at 1080p

Q: When I load the game I'm getting the vanilla Fallout 4 music/background video
A: Delete the ini files found in Documents/My Games/Fallout4 and replace them with the ini files found in GOG/Games/Fallout London/_AppData.

Q: I've done a clean install of Fallout 4 but my Fallout 4/Data folder has a bunch of mods in there. Could this cause issues?
A: Yes. If you've previously used a mod manager, please make sure you've deleted the manager AND all the mods. Then reinstall Fallout 4 completely.

Q: My game won't launch. F4SE pops up and then the game closes.
A: Check the Fallout4prefs.ini in Documents/My Games/Fallout4, and make sure that the "iSize H" and "iSize W" match your monitors resolution.

Q: When I start a new game, the intro video plays for a second and then pauses/crashes.
A: Find "f4se_loader.exe" in your Fallout 4 folder. Right click and go to Properties, go to the 'Compatibility' tab. Tick "Run this program as an administrator". Press Apply and OK. Now find the "Launch Fallout - London" Shortcut in your Fallout 4 folder and tick "Run this program as an administrator" on those Properties as well. Now, when you launch your game through either of those files, this should fix your issue with the intro video stalling.
