Demeggy Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Morning all. I've been looking for a specific resolution for the past couple of days now since upgrading to a dual monitor setup. I've never had issues before with New Vegas, until now. I bought a VGA monitor, same spec as my current vga screen, and realised the second port on my GTX 750 was for a DVI-D 24+1 adaptor. I've only got 24+5 pin adaptors, so I had to borrow a DisplayLink adaptor from my office. The monitor itself works fine, most games (Fallout 4 etc) work without issue on either of the screens - however, New Vegas crashes as soon as it starts loading up the game itself. I can get past the intro screens, past the main menu, load an existing or start a new save, and as soon as it's about to plonk me in world, CTD. I've tried various things; - NVAC- Game Companion- Deleting all of the .ini files- Reinstalling New Vegas- Reverifying integrity of game cache via Steam- Changing res settings to match the screen output (I normally play in windowed mode for dev purposes)- Tried accessing the NVidia control panel, however there's a known issue with DisplayLink conflicting with NVidia drivers and prevents the control panel from loading properly Now the reason I know it's a problem with my monitor, is because by disabling the adaptor, and reverting to 1 screen - Ta Da! It works. If anyone can assist, that'd be hugely appreciated, Thanks, Demeggy
dubiousintent Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I've been using a dual monitor setup with a nVidia GTX 760 (using DVI-D 24+1 cable connections) for my entire FNV experience. So the game itself has no problem with it. I don't see a DVI-D connector on the back of the DisplayLink unit on their webpage (just USB?). I also note it is a "wireless" connected device. That it interferes with the nVida Control Panel is another strike against it. My suspicion is that is just too many compromises to the DVI-D standard for the video card. Not all games utilize all the pins, but when they do, there is no getting around it. Sounds like your situation. -Dubious- Edited February 7, 2016 by dubiousintent
Demeggy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Much appreciated, glad I'm not barking up the wrong tree. Yeah, it's a USB adaptor I'm using as a temp fix. I've got a 24+1 Pin adaptor enroute so hopefully that'll fix it! Thumbs up for the shout back
