firsTraveler Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I have The GOG version of NV, but not installed yet. This gets rid of Windows Live and the 4GB issues if I understand correctly. I'm running Wind10 on an i7 w/ nVidia RTX 2080Ti. So my questions are: 1) Do I still need to edit the .ini files? Multi-thread needs an edit on the Steam version, is that true on GOG? 2) I'd like to use a bunch of texture mods but when I've tried playing NV in the past it goes the same way. I can play for an umber of hours with no issues, then I get a ctd. Reload play for maybe another hour, ctd. After that the ctds come guicker and quicker un till I can't even move from the load w/o a crash. I don't see how this is a script issue. I've read that the game suffers from save game bloat but I'm not sure how to prevent it. 3} Should I install a stutter fix from the start or wait to see if I need it? Any other advise on keeping the game running well would be most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 1. I have never heard of needing to edit the FNV .ini to use multicore CPUs. That was a thing with FO3. 2. FNV is known for having memory leaks that cause CTDs after extended periods of gameplay. 3. Yes, install the NVSR after you have started the game and created the .ini file. You will also have to install New Vegas Script Extender since NVSR is a NVSE plugin. 4. Do not accept the default installation location, but install the game in a location other than "Program Files".

dubiousintent Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Other than the fact that the GOG version is already "4GB patched", everything else that applies to getting the Steam version running in a stable fashion still applies to the GOG version. I recommend anyone read the entire "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article to understand the differences between this game and others you may have experience with; especially if this is your first attempt to play a modded FNV or it's been more than a year since you last did so. The following entries in the wiki 'Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting' guide specifically address known Win10 problems:* 'Issue: NVSE - fails to load after update KB4058043 to Win10 FCU (v1709)'* 'Issue: Incomplete save game load' (NVSR related)* 'Issue: Vanilla game Hangs on startup'; specifically "Cause-1" regarding DirectX9 drivers.* 'Issue: "Full screen mode" exhibits CTDs and stutters or micro-stutters'* 'Issue: Recent (post-Win10 FCU) CTDs after 10-20 minutes of play' (NVSR related)* 'Issue: Lag or "micro stutters" even with "New Vegas Stutter Remover" installed (or not)'. In particular "Cause-4" regarding video card settings. The latest video drivers may not be the best suited to an older game like FNV. All vendors drop testing of old games at some point. Backwards compatibility is never guaranteed, much less "optimization". Also, "Cause-7" regarding "Superfetch" and "File search indexing". Windows updates will often reset these back on.* 'Issue: Win10 Screen tearing in "Borderless Windowed Mode"'* 'Issue: ENB Support for Windows versions later than Win7'* 'Issue: Problems using ENB/SweetFx on Windows 10' -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
