    Posted: 25 Sep 2023 at 8:57pm
Been installing games on my new Win11 Velox--my 3rd DS rid--built around an RTX4070ti, AMD 7950x3d, 4TBSSD.

Fallout 4 Steam is the only game that's fubar; it causes mouse to freeze in a small box in center of screen on launch, requiring a hard reboot. Verified file integrity; adjusted gpu settings; tried windowed, borderless--all with same result. Skyrim AE works just fine--but not Fo4.

So what to do? Any advice most appreciated!

If you alt-tab out of the game, then alt-tab back into it does that fix the issue?

Quick question: Mods or vanilla?

No it was vanilla, freshly installed. Alt+Tab, mouse, and all keyboard input was nixed.

Solved problem by waiting about a minute until the 'press any key to continue' notice appeared. Mouse was still stuck, but pressing a key completed startup process. Game+PC then behaved normally.

But even with 5,800+ hours in Fallout 4 on four rigs (3 of them DS!), I can never recall a situation where the game caused a total system lock on first time startup. There was no progress bar or other indication that the game was doing its first time thing, so it caught me off guard.

That is strange, but glad you got it working! Awesome
