Utilities I use:

Fallout 4gb enabler

FOMM

FNVEdit

Wyre Flash

Fallout Fullscreen Fix

NVSE

 

Other important notes:

Recently moved steam from C:/Program Files to C:/Games

Reinstalled Fallout New Vegas after move (I noticed all my mods stayed intact. Or so it seems...)

Validated files

 

So I checked in FNVEdit and Wyre Flash, and there are no masters out of order. I validated the local files. But nothing seems to have worked. I deactivated the bashed patch and still CTD on start-up at Bethsoft screen. I tried running, with all the mods above, Fallout Fullscreen, 4gb loader, NVSE loader, and finally just the regular ol' FNVLauncher but nothing worked.

 

Here is the real scary part. I also did that with everything disabled except Fallout.esm and got the same results. That shouldn't happen with a fresh install like mine. And just to throw a screw in all of that, I took a break from typing this post to go eat dinner, came back, and without thinking, launched FNV Fullscreen and it worked! Closed out (cause I realized the fresh install reset the inis and as such Darn's UI fonts were a little messed up), edited the inis, and the problem returned.

 

I have no idea why this is happening and appealing to the experts here for help. My moderate knowlege is not adaquete. haha :sweat:

Bump.

 

There has to be someone who can help me with this.

Hi,

 

well, in my experience a ctd at the startup from NV is caused by mods or by an edited ini file. If you have edited it i would suggest to replace it with your old copy. You can test this by deactivating all mods and try to start NV.

I'm having the same problem; I just installed the NVSE version of 4gb enabler and Fake Fullscreen, and no I CTD on startup no matter which .exe I use to launch. Pretty annoying.

Also ensure that all menu .xml files are linked correctly. Use the uHUD mod to ensure that everything is set up. PN makes many changes to files that need to be addressed. An incorrect xml edit can cause a crash (usually before there though).

 

What version of IWS are you using. I can't use it in my game as it causes infinite loads.

Along with your suggsetion and the other about inis, my game now runs. It actually worked fine without reactivating uHud but I had crashes now and again (like an average of one every 45 min to and hour which is almost miraculous for this game lol). After uHud, no crashes in 3 hours. :D

 

Thank you guys so much!

 

Also, a note to anyone who might have moved their steam installation. This probably goes without saying but you should reinstall all your mods to ensure that no data was lost when your steamapps folder is copied back in. I think this happened to me in addition to Darns UI ini tweaks causing issues. fairly simple to do, but tedious. Its very easy with FOMM.
