833nirassi Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Help please! I can't seem to play Fallout New Vegas. Everytime I start the game (whether from the Launcher, or not, or from NVSE loader, or from FOMM) there will just be a black screen! I have seen this help request a lot in the internet but so far the solutions that were shown doesn't work. I use lots of mods, but I've checked carefully through files and by checking all the Nexus community talk and I think this isn't mod-related. What I've already tried:-Updating my drivers-Re-installing Fallout New Vegas completely-Running FNV without mods-Re-installing Steam completely-Deleting everything and downloading everything back again-Updating my drivers-Changing quality settings-Checking mod conflicts-Checking errors-Updating my drivers You will have noticed I mentioned updating my drivers three times; it's that most solutions on the Internet tell me to do that. So far it hasn't worked, but amazingly even without the required specs the game worked perfectly for years until... this month. So please help!

Lius Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Alright; a question, when you get the black screen does the game CTD as well? Or does it just freeze at the black screen? When you update your drivers; especially your GPU, make sure to always get rid of remnants left over from the older drivers to avoid conflict between drivers. If your updating your driver through STEAM; DONT! The best method of updating drivers is to manually update them. Go to the corresponding website of whatever driver you wish to update; download the package and just install. Make sure to follow the simple rules of uninstalling older drivers first before you install any new drivers. If you dont know what i mean; i suggest you google it, there are tons of information out there. Get back to me on the first question. Goodluck mate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
833nirassi Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 The game just stops responding at the black screen. I have no idea why. It doesn't CTD; I have to use Task Manager to quit.As for my drivers, it seems like I have the latest version available already, and I already took care of the previous drivers.

Sunnie Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Usually, if the game freezes as it starts loading, it's due to a missing or incorrectly referenced ESM (master file). I didn't see anything in your post above about starting the game with NO MODS at all. You might try starting the game with no mods what-so-ever in the "data" folder.

833nirassi Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks really really much Sunnie! :happy: I am such a moron to not check the ESM files! :dry: I didn't try running it completely without any mods though, what I tried first was completely deleting any last few mods I downloaded before I played. Turns out it was a whole stack of companion creation mods that broke the game! Now my game works! Thanks to you! ;D ;D ;D Problem is I can't remember the mods that caused the problems, so I can't troubleshoot it for others, although I'm confident it had something to do with NCCS, the NosCo Companion System.

833nirassi Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Dang. :wallbash: Just great. Right after I thought I fixed everything, it's now that I have a crash when loading a game. *sigh* Solution please? Tried some already; they didn't work. Wasn't mod conflict and definitely wasn't the drivers.Starting a new game works, although I really really really do not want to start a new game. One of my saves is used for a webcomic I'm regularly updating, and it will be pretty much impossible to recreate the character's face again.

Nite0wl Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I Have the same issues. Im not a master mod guy or anything but, I did build my PC. Im about 8 deep now and I know its not hardaware issues... I just installed FOMM and if I could get it to work I would love it to death. When I start the game using FOMM it goes black screen but at least I get the error. I do have to Ctrl/alt/delete to shut it out though. Do I need to patch it to get FOMM to work. I installed "Secret Hideout" and it did the same thing as when I installed N-Skies... I Know they went in correctly but the game wont start unless I uncheck them. Any advice would be helpful and GREATLY appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
