Steam related new vegas issue.

[Calvan]

Okay. So whenever I attempt to run fallout new vegas. It shows the steam is now loading fallout new vegas window for a split second.

THen steam completely crashes. I'd ask this on the official steam forums however They tend to demand that I either "Change my taste in games" or "Upgrade from XP".

 

Now keep in mind, My computer exceedes the system requirments, As I've logged more that 100 outs of Fallout 3.

And the requirments are IDENTICAL.

 

My drivers are all fully up to date. Anything that could possibly interfere with steam has been disabled. I've uninstalled reinstalled verified integrity of my cache.

Uninstalled and reinstalled steam. It doesn't change ANYTHING.

 

This happened to me a couple of months ago with another game.

Bionic commando rearmed.

But the issue sort of resolved it's self.

Odd. I can't really think of anything helpful. Was this something that just happened, or has this happened since you first started?

[Calvan]

It's happened since I finished the installation.

couple of questions. do u have a xp? and is the falloutnv hacked? This is why I ask I have know people who have tried to hack it and they get this error messege.

[Calvan]

Yes I run XP. (Service pack 2 I refuse to update to service pack 3 because the last time I did it gimped everything.)

And no my NV is not hacked it literally put the CD key into steam from a retail copy.

Ran the installation.

And then when I tried to run the game boom steam crashes when the "Steam is preparring to run *xprogram*" window pops up.

[Calvan]

No sugestions? Nothing?

 

Thats $50.00 plus tax i'm not getting back...

 

All of my other steam games run fine. This sucks.

I hate it that software companies even treat legitimate customers like criminals.

 

I've got a worthless disc. And a crashing steam.

This is frustrating as all hell.

I know how you feel dude, I've had to deal with steam bs and the like for both fallout3 and NV.

 

I believe that I am currently having the same issue. Does it crash after you hit play in the NV launcher?

 

If i find out anything i'll be sure to let you know.

[Calvan]

It crashes whenever I attempt to open the game no matter how I try to open it.

I hit play in steam. Crashes.

I hit play in the launcher. It Crashes again.

I try to open it through the icon in the system folders, It crashes.

 

If you figure something out let me know.

 

As for fallout 3. I bought a physical copy of it. So I didn't need to bother with steam.

[Hofsta]

yeah sounds like the same problem im having.

 

I also posted on this forum about it, but so far I haven't gotten anywhere.

 

Did NV ever work on your computer? cause for me it used to work fine and this only just happened a few days ago.which makes it all the more frustrating.

[Calvan]

Nope i've gotten as far as installing it. It's never worked.

I'm just glad I have fallout 3 to play to tide me over untill I find a solution,
