lorbem Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I purchased and downloaded Fallout NV from Steam. Everything downloaded properly and seems to be running ok. But I have not been able to install nvse update to run some mods. I followed all directions but I don't seem to a FalloutNV.exe file that everyone says to look for with the apps. Whenever I launch with nsve it says can't find falloutnv.exe. Otherwise the game runs fine if I launch it through steam. I uninstalled and reinstalled game, but am still missing the exe. file. Apparently I can't run some mods without it. I am a complete noob, so I apologize if this has been addressed. Any help would be appreciated.

Nihilisaurus Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 it's not necessarily in /program files (x86)/. Wherever steam is installed, it'll have a subfolder called 'steamapps', then another called 'common'. In there should be your Fallout: New Vegas folder, which contains the game's exe, and the Data folder. It's not a matter of whether or not you have it, the game *is* that exe, all the other files are just data it reads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smosh Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 My folder structure is C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas if that's any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihilisaurus Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Then that's the directory the NVSE files need to go in. There should be a file called 'FalloutNV.exe' in there, its icon is the head, shoulders and arms of the vault-boy. If you can't see it, try installing NVSE anyway as the file might be set as hidden or something silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbdrmn22 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Can someone help me? Some how, my NV exe was converted to an ICO file, when it should be a note pad readable. I don't know how to get it back to where I can read it. I open it, and all I see are a bunch of symbols that make no sense at all.I have no idea how it happened, if someone can give some info on this, it would be a big help...thanks in advance if you have an idea on what to do.

Have Steam verify your game cache, it will replace any missing or broken files https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
