macman83 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Hey everyone.I'm having a problem. Every time i try to launch FNV it crashes, i then have to revalidate the files to get it to run. It runs for about 5 mins then freezes my entire system and requires a full reboot.The file which doesn't validate is c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\InstallScript.vdfI've tried reinstalling from steam and from the CD but neither work, must be an error in the update maybe?? My system specs: Windows 7, 2 Gb RAM, Radeon 6800XT graphics card, Intel core 2 duo 2.4 GHz. Anyone got any ideas?

maboru Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I've found 'gettin' outta Dodge' to be the best long term solution myself. Here's something that simplifies it - http://lifehacker.com/5626931/steam-mover-relocates-applications-to-free-up-space-on-your-primary-drive
