There is a way. It requires you have BOSS installed on the offline machine and a flash drive.

 

BOSS saves a copy of the masterlist in your BOSS/NewVegas folder. You can run boss on your online pc, go into the boss folder and copy the masterlist to a flash, drag it onto the offline pc in the boss/newvegas directory and away you go. On the offline PC you need to go to BOSS/Boss.ini and open it and near the top you need to change this:

 

bDoStartupUpdateCheck = True

 

Change it to false so it runs offline and doesn't try to connect. It will then logically go to your most recent masterlist and use that as reference.

I m running windows vista on this laptop and am i supposed to install boss into my my New vegas folder on my desktop because the installer defaults to my Steam\skyrim

Well, my default Skyrim folder is c:\skyrim and my Fallout is c:\fallout. I had the installer install to c:\BOSS. I'm not sure it matters where it's installed since the program will scan your registry for installed beth games. In practice though I would have it install to a different folder than your skyrim one.

To do an offline update you will need BOSS on both pcs. You need boss on the online pc so that you can run it to get a masterlist to transfer to the offline pc's boss directory. If this sounds like more trouble than it's worth I can upload my masterlist updated just a few minutes ago. Again you would still need to install BOSS on the offline pc. I can send you the masterlist.txt in your email or some online hosting site if the process is too tedious.

Well the thing is i cant get a masterlist on this laptop because i dont have any beth games on it therefore boss is useless atm i do have steam on here with skyrim uninstalled but not fallout nv ( you can figure that one out) And I only have a 4 gig flash drive on me and cant transfer all data onto this thing

i installed Boss on here

 

but cant find the masterlist file

The only file you need to transfer is the masterlist.txt. It's under 1mb I think. But ya, if you don't have NV installed then you won't have the masterlist. Send me a PM and I can email you the masterlist. Just drop it into your BOSS/Fallout New Vegas folder on your offline pc.

ok check ur box

Oh man, I almost forgot. Running this game in windowed mode is more stable for some reason than fullscreen. There is a windowed fake fullscreen mod on nexus that I use. Since you use steam you should disable the steam overlay while playing. I heard that helped a lot of people with crashes.

 

If you haven't checked out this dude Gopher's channel on youtube you should. http://www.youtube.com/user/GophersVids

He actually walks you through some of the essential mods for New Vegas and how to properly install them, including pretty much everything I said about merged patches. All his tutorials are aimed at complete beginners so there is no confusion about anything. I still visit his channel for his tutorials all the time. He has tutorials on both Fallouts and Skyrim.

Sent it. I gotta run for a couple hours but I'll check this when I get back. Good luck man, check out that channel! You won't regret it.

Now I remember starting from my hotel room recruiting Boone then talking to manne to start the "Come Fly with me Quest" or what not I was killing the ghouls and just as i hit the stairs on the main building complex the game crashed..... ;.;
