Need major help :/

[cptcairney]

Well I was having many problems with fallout new Vegas as of late so i uninstalled and cleared out the directory to do a fresh start, I installed a few mods, lowered the number I was using, and went to start the game but its instantly crashing to the desktop, I've tried deleting the menus folder in case of corrupt menus and also disabled all mods but still no luck.

I'm using BOSS and arranging the unrecognized mods to the best of my knowledge.

Please help :(

I'm also not using master update.

did you clear out the .ini files in your saves games folder at documents/mygames/falloutNV ?

 

If you did not, the ini files that are in there are the same ones from before you re-installed. If they had been edited in any way, they wont match your ini file in your fallout new vegas folder.

 

Those files are created when you create your first save game.

 

If this is the case, remove any save games you want to keep into a temporary folder and clear out the ENTIRE folder of all files. Then start up the game with no mods, and if this is the problem, it will let you start a new game. Once you save your new game, go back to that folder and place your save games back in the new saves folder.

 

If that turns out not to be the case and you do this, when you get it working, it will create those files just like i explained

[cptcairney]

No the game doesn't start at all mate, it doesn't even get to show the first loading screen never mind get to the main menu. It is just instantly crashing when I try to load up the game.

I've tried what you said but it wasn't the problem, its something in the game directory I think but I cant figure out what, its not even starting with no mods active.

[PowderdToastMan]

ouch, im at a loss bro,

 

the only thing i can thing of is to re-install and make sure any antivirus software is off??

 

when you uninstalled did you clear out your fallout new vegas folder of all your old mods?

[cptcairney]

Yea mate,m total clean out, clearing out my directory again and disabling all mods see if t works at least then I know its something in the game directory and can start to thin it down, going to be a lengthy process though lol

Still cant believe how much of a life killer fallout is :) I spend more time getting it to be stable than playing it lol

 

EDIT: AGH just totally removed the stuff within the data directory, part from the vanilla stuff, and disabled all mods but still no luck, wtf is going on ?

next time you uninstall, if before you re-install, you go to the fallout new vegas folder, you will see anything mod related that yoy missed cuz it will not be removed by the uninstall. maybe ther'll be somethin there that needs to go like a bad dll file or somethin?

[cptcairney]

Think I found the problem which I missed (slaps self on head) when I was updating it came up that it couldn't rename the exe and launcher so I did that manually, then I just realized after installing again and updating that it failed to update the falloutnv.esm also as it couldn't rename it or something. Damn Microsoft and their UAC! I will let you know how I get on ;)

[cptcairney]

I'm now getting an application start error :( anyone know what causes these again ?

O and it says it cant find my .INI file now ? I know what that is but everything is where it should be X(

[cptcairney]
