Fallout new vegas, no mods, blackscreen startup with audio

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

The title pretty much says about the whole problem, i have no mods every time i run FNV i get blackscreen at main menu with audio though, no crash message tho. When i alt tab through FNV and windows i get flashing screen on FNV, but cannot use the main menu in any way, can't see my cursor too. I have tried reinstalling, switching from HDR to bloom, deleting .ini files, checking cache, nothing works.

 

Recently my version of the game got called "RU", maybe it has something to do? I bought polish version of the game, steam. That was back in 2010, it used to work flawlessly even with mods. Seems to be polish still, put aside that "RU". My DLCs are marked as "RU" now aswell (apart from gun runners), but i havent had a chance to check if they are RU now (I tried running the game with no DLCs and it didnt help so i guess the problem is not because of the DLCs).

Any ideas what is causing this black screen and how to fix it? Please help, thank you in advanced.

 

PS: Put aside my main problem - I've just seen some posts, people claiming that RU version may cause problems with modding, you guys happen to know if it's true?

Please see the 'Issue: Vanilla game Hangs on startup' entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide. You will probably also want to see the 'Issue: Regional Non-English language version of the game displaying English dialogue' and the one after that in the same article as well.

Thank you for detailed reply.

 

I have tried all possible solutions from the link you had posted, none worked.

I tried to ran the game in windowed-mode just so i am sure I've tried all i could have tried. Suprisingly it worked, the game works fine when i run it in windowed-mode.

I guess it's graphic card related.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

 

PS: Is it true that mods won't work with the newest RU update for eastern european players? I bought my game back in 2010, polish subtitles and all mods worked fine. If it's true that this update practically makes all mods not working, then it's a big grim joke and i cannot see the point to this update.

That is something you will have to take up directly with Steam Support. You are the first to report such an update and issue here. (Remember: we are all volunteer players here in the forums, just like you.) I'm surprised they put out any update for a game this old. Are you sure it was an update to the game and not just to the Steam Client? (They are two different programs.)

 

If Steam Support has any information, please do let us know for the next person encountering the problem.

 

Edit: If "windowed mode" fixed your "black screen" issue, see the 'Issue: Playing at greater than 1920x1080 resolution' entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide for some other possible solutions.
