ALittleBird Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi,So I bought Fallout New Vegas the other day, installed it, started it, but when I click play on the launcher, it does not work. I've tried literally everything to fix it (download a certain file from Nexus, run it in compatibility mode for Windows whatever (here I've also tried everything). It just gives me: Fallout New Vegas.exe has stopped working. Sometimes it gives me a black screen and then the error when I hit play, sometimes I get the beginning screen (you know, with the names of the developing teams and such on it) and then the error...And a friend of mine had the same problem, but all of a sudden, it worked. He doesn't know how - he even swears he did not do something to make it work, he just started it and there it was.I'm pissed right now. I really want to play this game, and this is just killing me.So I don't really know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efftee5 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well I don't really know what to say... Did you try re-installing it ?It might just be that your computer is filled up or your game is corrupted. Anyway, someone with better experience than me will pop by and save your but. Good luck !

ALittleBird Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 I tried re-installing it 2 times. And, well, my computer isn't really filled up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoneyLogic Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Set the game exe and the launcher exe to your exclusion list of your av-scanner. Also try staring the game as admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALittleBird Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I tried that, didn't work. But thanks for all your help guys, appreciate it. I don't need it anymore though. I returned the game, got a new one, and now it works just fine. Off to patrolling the Mojave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efftee5 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Game was probably corrupted ?That seldom happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALittleBird Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Maybe. But it's fine now, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
