💡 Requirements

This program is running on .NET Framework 4.7.2
It should be preinstalled on Windows 10.
If you can't start the tool, you may have to install it manually: .NET Framework 4.7.2 web installer

Archive2 needs Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
This might be preinstalled on your system as well. If your mods aren't deploying properly, try to install it.

If you're still on Windows 7, make sure that you have Service Pack 1 and all updates installed.
Otherwise the .NET installer might fail or the tool might not start.

⚙️ Installation

1. Download and unzip.
2. Run and set the game edition and path in the Welcome screen.
3. Tweak to your heart's content.
4. Don't forget to hit "Apply".

fallout76-quickconfiguration's Issues

Option for camera shake ?

Is there any option to disable camera shake in the settings for this tool? I can't seem to find it but in the fallout 76 settings you can change it there.

Updating mod information with a mod that no longer exists (I.E. deleted) causes NullReference

I have a mod installed called Fallout 3 Fanfare ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/1011 ), it's been deleted from the nexus. When 76 Quick Config runs across it while updating mod data it crashes, when you'd expect it to just skip over the link.

This can easily be worked around by a user by removing the problematic link.

Import installed mods don't work

When you try to import the installed mods from outside the tool, it does not detect them if you have them placed in the Mods folder instead of the Data folder.

I use the Xbox version of the game (on PC) downloaded from the Windows store.

Nexus Updates Crashes Quick Config Tool

When trying to update nexus mod information in the mod manager I get the following error message and the mod manager and quick config tool crashes.

F76QC Error.txt

Multiple accounts use same settings

I am using the account # feature and trying to set different settings for the two accounts so I can run both simultaneously. I tend to run higher quality with sound on main, and low quality with no sound on secondary. The mod manager doesn't seem to support this, as settings seem to be the same for video/audio tabs no matter which account I select. Am I correct or am I just missing something.

Shadow settings not work

I have these settings. Choosing a value other than Custom does not change anything. Or reset to these values. The same thing happens after the application is launched.

Can no longer edit Resource List manually

Even by hitting apply changes, when the manager is closed and opened again it goes back to the manager default, the version prior to the newest one didn't do that, had to reinstall the old version

Nexus login link doesn't open browser in v1.9.5; Older versions of Newtonsoft.Json.dll and Newtonsoft.Json.xml

When trying to click the login link for Nexus, it doesn't open the default browser. However, I noticed that in v1.9.5, the included Newtonsoft.Json.xml and Newtonsoft.Json.dll are older versions than what is in v1.9.4 (12.0.3 in v1.9.5 vs. 13.0.1 in v1.9.4). When I replaced the v1.9.5 Newtonsoft.Json.xml and Newtonsoft.Json.dll with the v1.9.4 versions, it opened the link no problem.

Websocket exception

I am using windows 10 but still get the Websocket Exception window. I have tried logging in via API key but it doesn't seem to do anything when I click the button.

Baffling Crash on Startup

I want to preface this by saying that the program was functioning perfectly as of yesterday (from time of writing). While I had the progra, open, my computer softlocked and I had to hard reboot it, but to my knowledge the program was merely sitting idle. From the moment my computer restarted to now, any time I try and launch the program I receive this error message:

I've tried reinstalling the program, I've tried reinstalling .NET Framework (which doesn't actually work as the program merely says "it's already installed", so nothing happens), I've tried numerous things, and to zero effect. I really want this program to work as I have yet to get any other method of mod installation to work.

nexusmods login not persistent between closing and reopening launcher

this happens when using both web login and api key login.

Removal of Nuclear Winter option from the tweaker?

Doesn't seem to need to be there anymore since the neclear winter stuff has been retired.

Changing menu music?

Is there a place in the settings you can change the menu music? I believe it's defined in one of the .ini files but I was wondering if this mod had the capabilities to do so within

If not, my suggestion would be we could maybe add an option here to revert to default fallout 76 theme like a checkbox
