ccmechanic2 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes, it is supposed to be in there as I can see it, Microsoft Games for windows market place. How ever, I see also games booster, that's ad ware you know that? remove that, it is fake ware and may be causing your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillys_pink_ranger Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 I am reading posts that say that FNV is not GFWL, so I'm not sure why it should be a source of trouble.Anyway, hoping for something that will get this damned game running again.

reillys_pink_ranger Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Tried the following "fix" from http://filenetworks.blogspot.com/2010/10/fallout-new-vegas-fix-crash-freezing.html: Fallout 3 New Vegas freezing & random freezes mid game, BSOD errors Random freezes including BSOD errors can occur on certain multi core hardware environments due to incompatibilities with the game engine. You can try to avert these issues by limiting the game to use only two cores. Open fallout.ini file in My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV with a text editor such as Notepad. Look for the string bUseThreadedAI=0 Change it to bUseThreadedAI=1 Add another line beneath the above, iNumHWThreads=2 Save and close this file. Repeat steps 2-5 for fallout_default.ini file in installation dir (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout New Vegas) >>>Status: FAIL :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmechanic2 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 No, FNV does not require it, what it requires are the codecs you were missing from it. You now have on your system those codecs. Now there are two live programs installed on your system. The old xp version and the new version. remove the distribution live version and reboot the PC. Open up fomm and use the tweak tool to install the fake live .dll in both games.reboot. and see of the games run now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm wiping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillys_pink_ranger Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I am using FOMM 0.13.21, and there is no "install tweak tool" option under "Tools." I am at a dead end here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reillys_pink_ranger Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Hmmmm... Never mind. Installation of latest net framework cleared it up. Now I can get back to crashing on slide 2.... :wallbash: Edited July 2, 2011 by reillys_pink_ranger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasm Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah, I'd get that error too if i set falloutnv.exe to run in compatibility mode and tried to run it through FOMM. Also, I found no tweak tool in the FOMM for New Vegas either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I found no tweak tool in the FOMM for New Vegas either. You reminded me- I did set FNV to run as WinXP SP3. FOMM runs fine with newest net framework, even with FNV in comp mode.How is your game now? Are you getting any progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasm Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Sadly no, no progress. can you go into more detail on that? FOMM was NOT running well for you before, so you updated your .net framework? I haven't had any problems running FOMM itself, but upgrading your .net framework now allows Fallout to run in compatibility mode? Well, it allows it to run and then crash as usual, I imagine...
