Problem with FNV 4GB updated + NVSE

[Deleted48146153User]

Hey, I just bought FNV, I have the version with the PL/CZ/RU localisation.

That means that I'm unable to install script extender as I get this error "application load error 0000065434". I'm following this guide in order to fix it:

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas#Application_load_error_5:0000065434

However, I'm not even able to get the 4GB FNV to work, "unable to set current directory to game directory".

Does anyone here know the possible solution to this problem?

I installed the 4gbfnv.exe and helper.dll straight into the game directory. I don't know if it helps, however on my C drive there's a backup for the window instalation, so I installed steam to D drive into program files, rest of it is a standart path for installed games.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please read this entire response before taking any action. I'm giving you some options.

 

Make sure you are using this version of the "FNV 4GB Patcher", which works with all Steam versions. (The GOG versions do not need to be patched, and will indeed be broken if you do so.)

 

Please see the wiki "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" article for why the original default Steam behavior of installing games to the "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files(x86)" folder tree was bad (they learned better, and don't do that any more but didn't change it for older games); and why "disabling UAC and running as Administrator" is NOT sufficient, with instructions how to move it. This is the single most important thing you can do to fix and protect yourself against problems in the future. As much of a PITA as that is, it's never going to be any easier than now. System updates often cause issues with games installed to these folder trees. With the game moved out of the default location you will not need to be running it as an "Administrator Account", which is safer. Please see the 'Restoring to "Vanilla"' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article as well.

Disabling "User Account Control" (UAC) only stops Windows from prompting you to grant "administrative" credentials to an application that the system says must have a "UAC elevation". Disabling UAC does not automatically then enable the permission for such applications. Instead, (for all intents and purposes) it automatically denies them. (Please read this MS article on how it works in Win10. The basics have been there since the inception of UAC with Vista.)

If you did move Steam out of the default location, then likely any access privilege problem is one of "File and Folder permissions" on the parent "root" folder under which you installed the games. If this is not set correctly to allow at least "System", "Administrators", and "Users" to have "Full Control" then you can't overwrite other files or make changes. You then (while logged in as an "Administrator Account") need to enable the "Properties | Security | Advanced | Change Permissions" setting of the parent folder to enable the box: "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object", so those changes get applied to the existing files and sub-folders.

What this means in your specific case is you need to change the instructions that refer to the "old" location of "C:\Program Files(x86)" to use your new path instead. Also, be sure that your entire game path does not include any "non-ASCII" characters found in some languages other than the first 128 ASCII characters (0-127 decimal codes).

 

You might find it easiest to download the regional language version, but tell Steam to use "English" as the language when installing. Then switch back after the files are installed.
