masterdirector Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 HI, I'm a total n00b here currently slowly installing Viva New Vegas mods using this github site and some GamerPoets videos as supplements. The only GamerPoets recommended mod I've added to the Viva New Vegas mod is called Loading Screen Fix. I don't want to stray too far from Viva New Vegas just yet. I am curious if anyone has any suggested mods for my consideration that you think would be fine with a Viva New Vegas set up. I'm mostly interested, right now, in creating a stable upgrade to the vanilla New Vegas Ultimate game so I can finally finish a playthrough of it. Several years ago, I started an Xbox 360 playthrough and was about 80 hours into a mostly good guy run until I had to move. Weeks turned into months and years. Now, I'm finally ready to revisit the Mojave Wasteland. What are veterans' thoughts on Windowed vs. non-windowed mode? OneTweak? I don't understand the big difference. Does windowed have any major advantages as to why I should consider it over non-windowed fullscreen? Sorry for such a n00b question. I'm traditionally a console pleb. I understand that a keyboard and mouse offer more advantages than a controller, but I feel more comfortable playing with a controller, despite that I'll most likely be sacrificing more buttons and more precise controls, but I'm okay with that. Does the weapon wheel work with a controller? I'm planning on just plugging my laptop into my TV with an HDMI cable (fracker looks like a snake!) and using my old wired Windows 360 controller. I wanted to say that I am blown away and very pleased that there's still an active Fallout New Vegas community. Well, I'll wrap this up for now. Thanks to anyone who actually read this.

JimboUK Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Borderless window is the way to go, it makes alt tabbing possible and when the game crashes you won't have to sign out of Windows or restart it to get your mouse back as tends to happen in fullscreen. There's nothing wrong with using a controller but you'll want to use this so you can use the keyboard at the same time should you need it for anything, for example there are some mods out there that can't be used with a controller.

masterdirector Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thank you. Borderless Window it will be. I recognize that mid you shared. I was just reading about that and watching a video segment this past weekend. I'll be sure to install that one as well. Thank you for your insight and recommendations.

madmongo Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I don't use borderless window, but I do have Task Manager set to Always On Top. If the game crashes (it's a Bethesda game, it's gonna crash...), I just CTRL-ALT-DELETE and run task manager to kill it. I'm not saying one was is better over the other, just letting you know there are options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterdirector Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hey, I appreciate the knowledge. Options are always great to have. As for the inevitable crashing, yeah, it'll still beat PS3 Fallout 3 DLC to pieces. That game taught me a lesson about doing a little research beyond just review scores, like on performance and whatnot, before buying a game.
