CTDs on Startup

[tskasa1]

So I'm back yet again for yet another game! This time it's New Vegas, and I'm having some issues with it CTDing on startup. I'm guessing it's either a conflict or missing requirement, but I can't seem to find what it is. After like 4 to 5 hours of scratching my head I finally decided to ask here. My load order:

I can't pin down what is causing the CTD. I've tried FNVEdit and it clears the order, yet I still get CTDs. Any ideas?

[rbsdrummer]

Is this a clean game or did you mod it? Mods are the main reason for CTDs.

[tskasa1]

Started completely from scratch. Can't even get to the main menu, because it CTDs before text can appear

[rbsdrummer]

I'm sorry, I was dumb and thought this was your ini file. Are you saying that you put all these mods in before you started playing the game, or that it worked fine and then all of a sudden this is happening?

[tskasa1]

I've yet to start any new games

[rbsdrummer]

Ohhh ok. This is probably not a load order problem. This is probably a thread issue. Try this then. Go to your fallout.ini in your documents and under games. Press ctrl + f and then search for bUseThreadedAI it should be under General. If it says bUseThreadedAI=0 delete the 0 and replace it with 1. Then press enter and add iNumHWThreads=2 This basically is a problem with the game using your cpu cores. I had this same problem when first starting Fallout 3 so this should work!

Use BOSS to make sure your load order is organized properly.

Install Unified HUD to make sure there are no missing UI files.

 

Also, be advised that with your size of load order (181 active files), you are very likely (if not guaranteed) to have numerous issues with the game. FNV should not be run with more than 139 active plugins/masters.
