mst3kfangirl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Okay, for some strange reason, my game can't (won't?) play "Something's Gotta Give" on Radio New Vegas. The song is introduced and immediately after that my game minimizes like I've pressed the Windows key (I play using an XBOX One controller; not the PC) and when I bring it back up I get news voice-overs and a completely different song. I've never had this happened before. Has anyone encountered this? I have Unholy Lands, Max Skill batch file, Max S.P.E.C.I.A.L batch file, and Repair All DLCs as my mods. I am not getting any error messages when it minimizes. It just does it automatically. Edit 1: Okay, now it's just crashing completely and I'm getting "FalloutNV has stopped working". Only uninstalled "Unholy Lands". Edited April 8, 2020 by mst3kfangirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Anytime the game "Crashes to the Desktop" (CTD) it's typically going to generate an error message in the Windows Eventlog. Please see the "Windows Error Messages" section of the wiki "How to read most Bethesda game error logs" article. But based upon the "escalating" nature of the problem, my suspicion would be a hardware failure of some sort. At a minimum run "chkdsk" and a "memtest" app.-Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mst3kfangirl Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Well, I was able to find the Windows Event Log after it crashed again. The file is attached to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 No. It isn't attached. And the pertinent information to look for is explained in that article. Much faster than waiting 14 hours for a response, which will just tell you to look up that error message on the Web. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mst3kfangirl Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Well, looking up exception code: 0xc0000005 isn't helpful since it's not giving me solutions to my particular problem. Also, using the 4GB loader isn't helping either. Am I just better off uninstalling and try reinstalling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Actually, it is helpful; but not as directly as one would hope. The good news is "it's not your game, it's something else." "Windows Exception code: 0xc0000005". The "Faulting Application" is often the victim of another program rather than the actual culprit, making it virtually impossible for the user to trace the source. Any recent update since the last time it was working correctly is suspect, as are viruses even if you have anti-virus (AV) running. Run AV from multiple sources when checking for infections. There are a number of free online scanners on the internet (though they are all going to try to sell you their services after the first time).You may need to exclude FNV from "Data Execution Protection (DEP)" and configure " Windows Defender Exploit Guard (WDEG)" (or Microsoft's "Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET)" for Win7). Please see "Issue - NVSE - fails to load after update KB4058043 to Win10 FCU v1709" under the 'Solutions to Starting the game problems' section of the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" article.Try turning off any unnecessary background processes, such as "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" programs (unneeded if you are running your game in "offline" mode once you have scanned since the last connection), multiplayer "overlays" like "OverWolf" (this is single-player after all), the Steam overlay, etc., at least on a temporary basis to see if they are interfering. There are also tools (often called "Game Boosters") to help you determine "unnecessary when offline" Windows services you can temporarily shut down.It is also possible that any recent change to your mods (such as updates) or your existing "load order" (such as additions or removals) have causes a corruption of the current save game file. Try going back to a save game from before the problem started. Often starting a "new game" with a vanilla test character can help confirm if the problem lies in the current load order.-Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mst3kfangirl Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I tried starting a new game (moved the saves folder to the desktop) with no mods whatsoever and it still happens. Really don't know what else to do at this point. EDIT: I fixed it! I was going on a hunch that it was a bad sound file so I found where the songs are kept, deleted the bad one, found the exact same sound on YouTube, converted it to MP3, and used the same file name as the original. It doesn't crash anymore! God I hate computer games. Edited April 11, 2020 by mst3kfangirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
