Why

[thegreataimbottio]

So guys. I'm fairly new to pc gaming and half the stuff I do I'm not even sure works, but I'm sure of one thing. Fallout New Vegas is my favorite game so far but I can't play it. I've upgraded to Gaydows 8.1 and I uninstalled my mods and I tried to play the game and it started to crash on its opening screen around the time it says Bethesda Softworks. I uninstalled the game and re-installed it but it still doesn't work. I tried going on a holocaust of my Fallout files and ended up deleting all of my mod and fallout related content outside of the steam file itself. It STILL doesn't work. My assumption is that the mods changed around some files in the game itself and it's causing it not to work. However I used a mod manager for most of the mods, stuff like NVSE I removed manually. That, or I'm boned because windows 8.1 sucks that bad. Can someone more experienced or knowledgable about PEECEES or Fallout New Vegas help me out? I'd hate myself if I wouldn't be able to play my favorite game.

I can assure you windows 8 is not your problem ;)

I've upgraded to Gaydows 8.1

When you can explain your problem without disparaging a large part of the population, you'll find people more willing to help you. Until then, I encourage you to grow up.

I recommend the following:

1) Don't panic.

2) Go to your Steam library, right click on "Fallout New Vegas" (unless you have Ultimate Edition, then click on that)

3) Select "Delete Local Content"

4) Assuming you installed normally, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamApps\common\Fallout New Vegas if it still exists and delete whatever lies there.

5) Go to C:\Program Files, and delete the Nexus Mod Manager folder (of Fallout Mod Manager, if you used that).

5) Go to C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME_HERE>\Documents\My Games and delete the FalloutNV folder.

6)Re install all the things.

 

Hope this helps!
