jakepolo Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) I tried cleaning with Auslogics' cleaner. It found a tonne of errors, but New Vegas is now crashing before it even gets to the intro. Edited July 23, 2011 by jakepolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothikaGeist Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 That happened to me before. I did exactly what I had told you to do. Uninstall New VegasUninstall all FOMODSInstalled New VegasInstalled all FOMODS manually. Those simple instructions brought my Fallout NV back up to speed.... Have you restarted your computer at allThat resets the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakepolo Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've tried all of those things. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maboru Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just a thought, you are trying to play this on a laptop correct? Are you sure you're running your Radeon and not the on board video chipset? Many laptops won't use the 'real' card automatically because it eats too much juice so you have to manually switch over. (Make sure you play plugged in to the wall socket though because you won't be playing long on the battery!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakepolo Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have switchable graphics, but NV detects my video card as "AMD Radeon HD 6570M/5700 Series" when it's actually a 5730. Could that be the problem?

maboru Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 No, that should be okay, it's still the 5700 series so they should all use the same driver. Perhaps see if an updated driver is available at the ATI or your computer manufacturer's site. Are you sure the graphics aren't switchable? I've never heard of a laptop that defaults to an actual video card. The game would still see your card when it does the system check and configure the settings accordingly, but if your computer were only using the on board chipset then the game wouldn't be able to start. Maybe you should check the documentation that came with your computer or go to the manufacturers website just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderdToastMan Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) when you uninstall it does not remove the ini files in your game save directory. make sure you clear out your game saves directory of all files. if you've installed the geck at some point, it will have an ini for the geck in your save games files too. go to documents/my games/ falloutNV and make sure there is nothing in there...

n0t0ryczny Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Be sure to delete ALL .ini files associated with the game, especially those in saves folder. One of those could just try to load font that is not there anymore. Remove whole installation folder, be sure that you have relatively new video drivers, directx, .net framework (for example FO3 used deliberately modified .net 2.0 and updates caused stability nightmares). Also, after fresh install be sure to turn off archive invalidation and try to run wholly vanilla game, no addons, no dlc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakepolo Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I installed Win7 on another partition on my drive and installed F:NV on that. It worked flawlessly. I'm still not sure what's wrong with my primary installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpeho Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I recently got my new computer. Happy as a camper I installed New Vegas and thought it would run better, but as you I crashed without avail (hell I even jammed an old HDD in to fetch an old save and it crashed some more). This was without mods aswell.So I reinstalled three times. Verified game files/deleted the .ini files even more. Nothing. Tried running as admin and XP SP3 mode. Nothing.Reinstalled drivers and tweaked s*** with the graphics card. Nothing Basically, I did a lot of things. When I had emptied all the logical solutions I started to try anything. What solved my issue was installing this: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778 (the dx9.dll fix thats older than Golgata). I also sent the support an email. "You'll get a reply in 48 hours" (that was 3-4 weeks ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
