Demeggy Posted February 7, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted February 7, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeggy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
