Steam Community and Fallout NV Crash

[Thasic]

I have noticed that when I try to run Fallout NV with the Steam Community In-game 'engaged' or activated or whatever it's called, the game will not run. If I untick this on the Steam website I have no problems running my game. Problem with this is mods are starting to pop up that require this to be ticked. I have tried to get some help from Steam with the matter but they say it's a Bethesda problem. Bethesda claims it's a Steam problem, classic point-the-finger-at-the-other-guy syndrome. Does anyone on the forum have any insights. Thanks for any help.

May I enquire as to the mods you say need this active? I can't see any reason a mod would require the community feature to be running in order to work.

Try running steam in offline mode.

NVSE needs it.

That's the one. NVSE requires Steam Community In-Game. Needless to say, the likelihood is that many mods will require NVSE making the need for Steam Community a requirement. Kind of sucks all the way around.

 

Edit. Well playing with Steam in offline mod seems to have worked. Now I have a new question. Will the game update with Steam in offline mode?

Okay, here's an interesting turn of events. It seems the problem I'm having is not with the entire game and Steam Community but just with the opening start menu. I have a mod that bypasses the opening menu, the one that has the Options, Tech Support, Data Files et al. I have no problem running my game if I use that mod. Unfortuantely to run NVSE I have to go through that start screen. Is there a way that anyone knows to bypass that screen on startup?
