Issues fixed

<path-to-game>\Fallout76.ini , but is overridden if an [Archive] section is present in Fallout76Custom.ini , which is the way the mods are most commonly loaded.
- Open
<path-to-game>\Fallout76.ini in a text editor.
- Locate the
[Archive] section and the sResourceArchive2List under that.
- Copy the entirity of
sResourceArchive2List , including sResourceArchive2List =
- Open
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76\Fallout76Custom.ini in a text editor.
- Paste the copied
sResourceArchive2List section from <path-to-game>\Fallout76.ini under the [Archive] section of %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76\Fallout76Custom.ini .
- Append the end of the
sResourceArchive2List list with the .ba2 files from any mods.
Note
- This process must be repeated every time Fallout 76 updates.
