Nexus Launcher

[Jupiter Fuerst]

Afterreplacing specifically the FalloutPrefs.ini file with a replacement supposedly more suitable for a playthrough using Windows 10 and ENB, I've noticed that every single time I open NVSE with this replacement FalloutPrefs.ini, it redirects me to the launcher and brings up a message proclaiming it will "now detect your video hardware and set video options accordingly". This resets both the FalloutPrefs.ini file and the Fallout.ini to their base, vanilla configuration without fail (regardless of whether or not I made them read-only as a precaution prior to launching NVSE).

The main problem here is that it's opening the launcher, it shouldn't. I'm supposed to be brought straight to the game itself. Other issues that also appear after this are the launcher taking roughly 15 seconds to

"set video options", basically freezing whenever it brings up this message, in addition to not closing properly if I attempt to close it, as the process will remain in task manager after and I'll have to close it manually to relaunch any variation of New Vegas.

Update: Solved. The "sD3DDevice" setting in FalloutPrefs showed a different GPU than what I was actually using, meaning I forgot to replace it with my own graphics card. I only ever seem to solve these issues after I post them online.

The "Prefs" INI file contains the detected hardware configuration data that is supposed to get set by the Launcher. (It's the primary purpose of the separate Launcher.) Not too surprisingly the INI you copied doesn't match your hardware. Your efforts to prevent it being updated are why you keep getting the Launcher run, because the game keeps seeing the hardware info is wrong.

Even two computers coming off the same production line one after the other are not necessarily identical, even though they may have the same specs. The same components can come from different sub-contractors.

Never just copy and replace any of your INI files with someone else's. Instead use a tool like "WinMerge" to compare yours and theirs for differences, understand what they are changing, and choose to make the change manually. In your case, rename the copied Prefs to something else (just change the extension), run Launcher and let it build YOUR Prefs file, and then compare the two.

I'd figured as much when I replaced it, though never attributed an integral setting like the GPU to the FalloutPrefs.ini. Unfortunately I don't have the time or patience to individually try and discern the effect of each line and then run the game for both variants of the ini file for each one. The replacement ini is still built with Windows 10, high settings and ENB in mind so it's the closest I'll get to the "recommended" settings optimised for my system in the absence of my greater understanding of every individual line in the ini.

It's less daunting than you think. You only need to look up each line that is different in the "TweakGuides for Fallout 3" article. If it's a "game setting" then you can assume it's from the replacement unless you remember specifying that in the Launcher. If it affects the hardware, then note the setting and leave it alone until you see the effect of the game settings alone. I like TweakGuides because it covers interactions with other settings where they apply.

Alternatively there is a mod called "New Vegas Configurator" which "let's you tweak the game's configuration variables through a simple user interface. Variables have helpful descriptions explaining what each variable is used for."

One possible issue, I'm thinking my problem was launching the game in online mode after I had cleaned some of the main game files, which got detected forcing a re-download of all the game files. I'll need to make sure I'm only in offline mode next time, though I'm not sure why F4SE launched the games launcher...

I've been playing FO4 perfectly fine for the last week without any problems, running upwards of 200 mods (mostly petty stuff), but like you Narius I am being forced into the original loader on a loop. I f you press play then it just reloads the FO4.exe load page again. Steam hasn't pushed any stealth updates on me that I am aware of, and F4SE hasnt been updated!!

I had similar problems. The best I could figure was that I uninstalled a mod without first using a chem station to craft a required chem to do a cleanup in-game first. I ended up doing a clean install of Everything. I created a separate folder on C: drive outside of program files and installed everything there. I avoided the programs folder because of UAC funtions that make many folders read only. I also had to re-edit my perf and .ini files, I also had to add the FOSE files into the Fallout 4 folder, I for got that and spent an hour figuring out that mistake. I'm not sure, it might have been Homemaker_Expanded Settlements I uninstalled incorrectly although I had several that needed the chem station fix to delete successfully. Hope this give you an idea of where to look.

Folks what I found to work in the end was to first VERIFY (or whatever it is that STEAM calls it) your files by openning Steam - right click on the named game - scroll to the bottom and go to properties - in the LOCAL FILES section click on "verify integrity" ........

I ALSO had to restart my PC a couple of times as well and make sure F4SE hadnt left any old .exe laying about! Oh, and I also went through my Steam settings and made sure FO4 wasnt playing in online mode LOL

Following solid rumors that the next Google flagship smartphones will be designated Pixel and Pixel XL, we now have even more substantial evidence that the beloved Nexus nameplate will be retired. ROM developer LlabTooFeR has posted several screenshots of the rebadged launcher on Twitter.

Visually, the launcher looks identical to the previously leaked Nexus Launcher; there are almost no changes to be found anywhere. For those of you that have noticed there's no gradient around the dock in these screenshots, that already happens with the Nexus Launcher if you install it on a non-Nougat device.

Aside from the name change, other differences include a new icon and new version number. LlabTooFeR's Pixel Launcher has the version number 7.1-xxxx, which also lends credence to the rumor that the Pixel smartphones will launch with Android 7.1 Nougat. This also lines up with 7.1 being the first maintenance release (the Nexus Launcher's version number is NMR1-something, thanks Francois).

While we initially thought that it was possible the Nexus brand would remain for Google's software features, that's been proven false with this name change. The Nexus Launcher's name was the only solid proof we had for that idea.

With Android 7.0 Nougat and the new Nexus devices fast approaching, Google is no doubt hard at work developing and testing the latest wave of features coming to the Android ecosystem. The Android N Developer Preview has given us a look at the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) side of things, and it looks like the coming Nexus devices will be the launch point for the proprietary "Google" side of Android.

These could trickle down to other devices someday, but for now it seems like Google is developing a suite of Nexus-exclusive features to further differentiate the Nexus line from regular phones. There has been a never-ending string of rumors and reports about the new Nexus devices and their accompanying software, so here's a roundup of the latest rumors we're monitoring from reliable sources.

Google's current home screen is the "Google Now Launcher," which started as an exclusive Nexus feature and eventually made its way to the Play Store. For 2016, there is apparently a new Google home screen called the "Nexus Launcher," which re-imagines what an Android home screen should look like. We've actually heard about this app from two different sources: the app's existence was first revealed by Android Police and then a full APK was later leaked by Nate Benis.

The Nexus Launcher brings major under-the-hood changes, too. Today on Nexus devices, the Google Search app handles home screen duties, and while there is a "Google Now Launcher" app in the Play Store, it only unlocks the functionality present in the Google Search app. The Nexus Launcher is a standalone APK, which would pull the home screen out of the Google Search app. It's probably no coincidence that Google has been quietly developing a Google Search API that allows Search to communicate with launchers, and here we see a separation of Google Search and the launcher.

How the "G" tab works depends on how your phone is set up. As a user-installed app, it's a circle widget that only opens a Google search. In order to get the tab that swipes over to the Google Now page, it needs to be installed as a system app. As Android Police rightly cautions, the way the G tab works now might not be what Google intends, since no one has a "2016 Nexus" Google Search app.
