Fallout76 crashing when in photo mode

HollyBurton1 · May 7, 2022

Hello,

Is anyone else experiencing the fallout76 PC game pass version crashing when in photo mode?

I am currently doing a mission that requires me to do 7 photos, each time the game crashes

I have also tried taking a general photo and it does the same

Each time, I go on the game pass and verify/repair and the game works until the next photomode

It's kinda annoying not being able to complete this mission, so if anyone can help, it would be appreciated

:)

Hi Lucas

I haven't tried another game but I will do

The game runs perfectly and only crashes when taking a photo, other games have all ran fine too

I have Windows 11 😊

Hello, HollyBurton1. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

Only this specific game is crashing? Other games run just fine and even this game only crashes on photo mode?

Do you have Windows 10 or 11?

I understand. Well, deleting your Fallout 76 saved data files can resolve some errors. Please be aware that while deleting the save data, it will reset your Options settings, and no character data or game progress will be affected, this will delete all saved photos and they will not be restorable. Make sure to back your photos up before proceeding.

Navigate to C:\Users\user.name\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76

Delete the Fallout76 and Fallout76Prefs configuration files

See if this helps. If Fallout 76 is not installed there, open your drive partition and search for Fallout 76 that you'll find the correct path.

Can you provide a screenshot/photo of the error you receive when your display driver crashes?
