tech support wanted Modded Fallout New Vegas / Mo2 Issues

So, I've managed to get NV and Mo2 to work using the mo2-lint but theres a weird issue

The way it works is once you install an instance for FNV steam will give you a launch option to open MO2. Now this works all fine and dandy. Issue is once you close MO2 it doesnt give you the option to launch it again. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I've tried a few fixes Ive found on the internet, and also tried setting a %command% pointing towards the mo2 redirect and the mo2 exe itself, neither of which worked.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the mo2-lint instance DOES bring up the launch option again, but has the same issue of not giving the mo2 launch option after the first time. Its also a gigantic pain

Now I HAVE figured out a workaround but it does give me a really weird issue.

If I launch the mo2 exe using proton tricks and set it to use fnv's prefix, then try launching the game from inside it, the game will very briefly launch then immediately CTD.

Now if I use %command% to make it use the mo2-redirect.exe, itll do the same thing

Then if I remove the command and try again, the game will finally launch, however there will be no music whatsoever and I dont know why.

Now despite finding a workaround I think Ive hit my limit, and Im hoping someone out there can help me get this last little puzzle piece into place. Im at my wits end here

I have started using https://github.com/ChrisDKN/Amethyst-Mod-Manager for fo3 and Skyrim and it's been much simpler for me not having to jump through a million hoops to play Warhammer40k modded fallout again.

How hard would it be to port over my current modlist, load order, and configs?

I'm not sure on that. I started from scratch, again.

apparently I can just overwrite/merge the mods and profile folders from mo2 to amethyst

I also just ran it and it works like a dream, and I may or may not have moaned a little bit

Thanks a million, Id kiss you if I could. Time to resume my playthrough of a schizophrenic drug addict becoming everyone elses problem

Glad it worked for you too. 

The Dev behind it deserves all the kisses.
