Hey All,
I have discovered tonight that Avast Free is stopping me from running Fallout 4. I understand this is not a forum for Fallout 4 but as I have identified the issue being caused by Avast I thought I might be able to get some insight here.
The problem I have is that when I load the game the Launcher runs fine however when I run the game the screen goes black as if the game is loading then the whole thing launcher and all closes without so much as an error message even in the event log.
I have narrowed this issue down to being Avast as when I disable the shields the game runs fine.
I have set my entire Steam directory as an exclusion in Avast however I still have the same trouble, is there anything else I can do or information i can provide to help resolve this issue? While disabling the Shields temporarily is an easy workaround it seems like something that shouldn’t have to be done.
