FNV Launcher Crashing?

[gmg2dave]

OK, so the new update hit FO4 today, game is kinda borked till the fine folks update the script extender, so I decide to play some FNV. Tried starting the game and it DL'd something, and now every time I try to start it, the launcher crashes.

 

Note, this is not me trying to launch the game using either fn4gb or NVSE. Just in case they got the same treatment as FO4 did. This is trying to launch the game straight from Steam, or trying to use either the FalloutNVLauncher.exe, or just the FalloutNV.exe. Both immediately crash. With the launcher I get a pop-up window that the application has stopped working, with the FalloutNV.exe I get another pop-up that says the application was unable to start correctly. Same if I try to launch from the Steam library.

 

This was just working a few days ago, so I have no idea what is going on, and yes, I have tried to verify my game files, and still nothing. I even deleted both the launcher file and NV.exe file and re-downloaded them, just to see if maybe that somehow got messed up. Steam re-installed both, and it still crashes. I have not updated anything, added any new mods, or made any changes to the game files in months. It has been working great, no problems, and now... nothing.

 

HELP? Please?

Guessing that you got an update to the "Steam Client", which is separate from the game. There hasn't been a game related update in years, with none expected.

 

If it's a recent problem, please see the 'Checklist' for various things that might have changed, and 'Solutions to Starting the game problems' sections in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

 

Please see the "Windows Error Messages" section of the wiki "How to read most Bethesda game error logs" article. A CTD should create an entry in the Windows Eventlog. Otherwise we need the details of the error message(s), and ALL the information requested in the wiki "How to ask for help" article.

I just got the same FO4 update. Going to launch FNV and see if I have same problem as gmg2dave. Although this might not prove anything as I deleted my Steam FNV some time ago and have been playing the GOG v since.

I have recently (the last two days) started to encounter a number of different reports from people who have had to verify files or otherwise reinstall their game (various Steam games, not just FNV) and encountered problems trying to get it to simply launch after a Steam Client update. I have a suspicion that Steam broke something on their end. You might want to check with Steam Support before assuming your system is at fault.

Tried re-installing Fnv4gb just in case something got screwed up, still crashes.Tried re-installing FN.exe and the launcher from Steam. (Deleted the files completely, verified installation, etc.) Still crashes.

 

Oh, and I attached a file with my load order, but that has not changed any in forever, and it was working fine just last week.

Both those error reports are giving the same cause. Please see "Windows Exception code: 0xc0000005". The "Faulting Application" is often the victim of another program rather than the actual culprit, making it virtually impossible for the user to trace the source. Any recent update since the last time it was working correctly is suspect, as are viruses even if you have anti-virus (AV) running. Run AV from multiple sources when checking for infections.
