pipmorlock Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi, I've played about 10 hrs worth of Fallout:NV. Now, the game keeps freezing. Initially, there was only the occasional freeze but now it's constant and I have to CTRL/ALT/DEL, end process. It always happens when I go through a gate or door. I've already tried this advice below and rebooted but it didn't work: Quote:1) Open Steam2) Right click on Fallout: New Vegas3) Hit Properties4) Click the "Local Files" tab5) Click on "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"It then said to delete ini files and repeat steps 1-5. If I delete .ini files, will that delete all game progress?? Obviously, I'm reluctant to do that. What do I do now? Here's what I'm running:AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 640 3.0GHz (Socket AM3) ProcessorMotherboard: Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 AMD 880Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual ChannelGraphics: VTX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5OS: Windows 7 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindedStone Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Did you autosave an quicksave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipmorlock Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Yes, I've got autosave on. There seem to be 10 saves made. 2-3 were manual ones done by me, the rest autosaves. Edited August 31, 2011 by pipmorlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindedStone Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Autosave an quicksave work better in Vegas than in Fallout 3, but there's still an issue with overwriting save games, which autosave an quicksave can not avoid.So it's probably because of autosave, quicksave, an the continue button from the main loading screen. This was a Fallout 3 problem, so anyone playing PC FO3would do this by habit. You could start a new game, create a different type of character (one that is stupid LOL) then play the game an see what happeneds.You could also use one of those manual saves if you know that you didn't overwrite it. FNV FO3 both will work on Win7, but Steam suggests to install both the 32 an 64 bit versions of Visual C++ I believe. You would need to visit steam support an look at the common vista/win7 issues. Some run in windowed mode. There's running it as the admin, running it in compatiblity for XP 32 SP3, .NET framework 1 2 3 4, and I heard a fella that used Msconfig to disable some of the background services. You would need to look into it. Run some searches on Win7 here. I guess you could post win7 help or whatever.

pipmorlock Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 OK, thanks, I'll look into your advice. At the gate where I keep getting stuck, I just did a fast travel to a different location, which has partly remedied the problem. Nonetheless, I'm always anxious when going through a door/gate.

GrindedStone Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'll usually make a run, an maybe save once or twice depending on how big the run is. Then save again after I dump the loot an get ready to make another run.I can't really tell you much about that. I spend more time making things for the game than playing it. 3-4 years in Fallout 3 I never got past 25%. The last 3 days I made two new armors, played the game for two minutes, and I've got a head ache an two unfinished armors, LOL http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac156/grindedstone/YEEHAW/wellwellwell.jpg http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac156/grindedstone/Clothing/ScreenShot109.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
