Hi,

 

I have been using nvse without any probleme for years, and last week i have upgraded my computer to windows 10 and now it seems that NVSE and 4Gb won't launch, it's not my mod i can launch the game with the default launcher from steam and play. Is it possible that windows have compatibility issue with NVSE?​

 

Thanks for your time.

This whole Windows 10 thing drove me nuts for a few days with FO3 and then I decided to uninstall and reinstall the game from scratch. I removed the "Run as Admin tag" from everything various sites and posts had said to add it to and started adding utilities back intending to test after each one. First thing I did I did was install G4WL When I tested it the game booted immediately. And I mean immediately, like in about 3 seconds. Even with no mods, it was highly unusual for my not so hot rig. I stopped doing anything special right then. Just treated it like a normal installation.

 

Everything is working great (with one exception). Other than having to run 4GbFNV as an administrator so that the launcher wouldn't start every time, that's it. I've done nothing special. It still loads in a few seconds, including when changing areas or loading a save. I've gotten about a 50% FPS gain over what I was getting with Windows 7, My graphics settings are maxed and then some (tweaked inis). I use the One Tweak mod and run windowed but I was doing that in Windows 7 also. Oh yeah, I haven't had a CTD or a freeze in three days of playing. No problems from G4WL either. Today I did the same thing with FNV with the exception of G4WL, of course). Just stripped everything out and started from scratch. Again, everything is better than it ever was.

 

The exception mentioned initially is that I can no longer run SweetFX nor, I'm assuming, any ENB. I can install Sweet FX and the game will immediately crash on start up either from the .exe file(s) or from play on the launcher. Removing the D3D9.dll file allows the game to run again even if you leave the rest of the shader files installed but of course there's no effect from SweetFX without the dll. If someone would just come up with a fix for that I'd be happier than a pig in mud. The only thing I can think of is Microsft was installing a ton of updates at the time and one of them may have been a fix for what had been screwing up the game before.

 

I'm beginning to wonder itf maybe we aren't overthinking this whole Windows thing. At least I'm thinking I might have been.

The primary problem is installing the game to the default location suggested by Steam ("C:\Program Files" folder tree). Read the "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" article in my signature, and move it. Official Steam instructions are linked there. (Just further confirmation that even Steam recognizes that location was a bad choice.) Once you get the game out of the "C:\Program Files" tree, you will not need "Admin" rights to run most things or be fighting the OS "anti-malware" protections.
