<h3>Can I use an existing save?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
Short answer: <strong>No</strong>.
<br>
<br>
You cannot use an existing Fallout 4 save to play The Midnight Ride. Even though a save might load, there are too many changes for it to work correctly. No support is provided if you do this anyway.
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>Is Linux supported?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
<strong>We cannot provide support</strong> for Linux as we don't use it, therefore we cannot troubleshoot issues specific to it.
<br>
<br>
Assuming you already know your way around Linux, here's <strong>some information that might help you</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Use Proton (for Steam) or Wine TKG or Wine-Bottles fork & Lutris (for non-Steam).</li>
<li>You need Gstreamer codec suite for the game music to play.</li>
<li>Direct the game so it uses a portable MO2 instance (installed in the game prefix, made by either Steam or Lutris).</li>
<li>Stock Wine won't work, since stock Wine has issues with the bundled FOMOD installer.</li>
<li>Install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU.</li>
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>Will pirated copies work?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
Piracy is <strong>not supported</strong> in any way, shape, or form. Any proof that you're using a pirated copy or piracy-related talk <strong>will lead to a ban</strong> from the ModdingLinked Discord server.
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>Why is Long Loading Times Fix not in the guide?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
Long Loading Times Fix has its own set of issues and it performs worse than High FPS Physics Fix configured according to the guide, as shown by <a href="https://moddinglinked.com/benchmarks.html" target="_blank">these results</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>Why are there no big visual mods in the guide?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
The headroom you have for visual mods highly depends on hardware, especially VRAM. Including big mods would raise the requirements of the guide too much to still call it vanilla+. The game can also suffer a lot from replacing assets with mods which are usually loose files. So for a proper visual overhaul you will also need to know how to pack files into archives.
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>Where are save files stored?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
You may have noticed that when playing the game through MO2, your save files will not appear in the Documents folder like normal. This is because the guide (and Wabbajack) makes use of <b>profile-specific saves</b>, a feature that redirects them to the profile folder of your instance. You can access all of them quickly by selecting the <strong>Saves tab of MO2</strong> on the right pane.
<div class="card-red">
<p>
<strong>Do not re-use vanilla saves</strong> or any save from different mod setups! A new character is required for a functional game.

<p>You can ask for support in the <a href="https://discord.gg/S99Ary5eba" target="_blank">ModdingLinked</a> Discord server in case any of the advice below does not solve your problem.</p>

This could happen for <strong>various reasons</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Make sure the latest VC++ Redistributables are installed:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/" target="_blank">VC++ AIO</a>
<ol>
<li>Extract the archive and run the included <span class="card-basic">install_all.bat</span> as an administrator.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><a href="https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe" target="_blank">2015-2022 X64</a></li>
<li><a href="https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe" target="_blank">2015-2022 X86</a></li>
<li>Restart your PC.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You have incompatible mods lingering in your game's Data folder, this is why <a href="./setup.html#Uninstall" target="_blank">a clean slate</a> is required.</li>
<li>If you are using a third-party antivirus, add exclusions to the folder Mod Organizer 2 is in. If that doesn't work, try disabling the antivirus completely and rely solely on Windows Defender (which should work fine once exclusions are present).</li>
<li>Make sure you have both files from <a href="./bugfix.html#PRP">PRP</a>.</li>
<li>Missing masters, check the big red triangle icon on the top right corner of Mod Organizer 2:
<ul>
<li>If you're missing one of the mods in TMR, install it or get rid of the mod that requires it (for example if you erroneously downloaded a patch for a mod you don't want in TMR Extended).</li>
<li>If you're missing the vanilla Creation Club content, verify your game files on Steam and run the <a href="./utilities.html#Downgrader">downgrader</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Most programs that ship with pre-built computers or laptops (such as OMEN Gaming Hub for HP OMEN systems) will be prone to issues and should be uninstalled or temporarily closed.</li>
<li>Update your graphics driver (either <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx" target="_blank">Nvidia</a>, <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/support" target="_blank">AMD</a> or <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html#q=&sort=relevancy&f:@tabfilter=[Downloads]&f:@stm_10385_en=[Graphics]" target="_blank">Intel</a>).</li>
</ul>

<h3>How do I export my modlist and/or load order?</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
As MO2 is the only supported manager, instructions for other managers will not be provided:
<ol>
<li>Click the <img class="mo2-icon" src="./img/MO2/Folders.webp" alt="MO2 Folders"> folders list in the top of MO2.</li>
<li>Click <b>Open Profile Folder</b>.</li>
<li>The modlist will be written in <strong>modlist.txt</strong> (written in reverse order but you can reverse this easily with text editors) and the load order is in <strong>loadorder.txt</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</p>
</div>
<div class="expander-top">
<h3>The CK isn't detecting any mods</h3>
<img class="chevron" style="transform: rotateX(0deg);" src="img/UI/Chevron Down.svg" alt="UI element - Chevron">
</div>
<div class="expander-bottom">
<p>
MO2 requires that you run most tools, including CK, through its list of executables. This allows the programs to be <strong>run with VFS</strong>, loading all the mods alongside it.

Generating new LOD is not requirement. It will simply make the distant cells match the (modified) look of near ones, preventing jarring mismatches. It is <strong>generally recommended</strong>, as it can massively improve detail at the same time.
