Pawx1981 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I've had this problem for awhile now, with no hope of ever fixing this problem. I bought Fallout New Vegas, Hard Copy Version, and installed it via CD. Works totally fine on my laptop, it's a bit slow, but it's a laptop, makes sense. I bought this desktop a few years ago and decided to play Fallout New Vegas again, but on the desktop. I installed it, tried it, and crashed right on the loading screen, never got to the main menu. Now, I've tried every trick to try to get this running: - My drivers are updated- Run in windowed mode- Clean registry- Delete ini's and verify integrity of game cache - Reinstalled numerous times- Put all settings to low Nothing seems to fix the problem. I can run Fallout 3 perfectly fine, no problems (I say this because they pretty much use the same engine/are the same game.) If anyone at all can help figure this out, they would be my hero. I provided my DxDiag to show my hardware just incase. Thank you.
drbeavis Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 You installed it via the CD? hmmmm, if I had to guess, it has to do with Direct X issues or the .NET framework. I know that your Fallout 3 works fine, but my steam client configured Direct X and .NET despite already having Fallout 3 installed and running on my PC (possibly suggesting that there are some differences, I could be wrong though). I know all this because I just did a clean install of my computer a week or two ago. I would try and get installed via Steam or, if that isn't possible, downloading older versions of Direct X (possibly 9?)

I'll try using an older version of direct X though.
Pawx1981 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Posted May 16, 2013 Well I installed DirectX 9, which didn't do much. I also tried using the d3d9.dll trick and also didn't work. It seems Direct X isn't the problem...
drbeavis Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 that is a peculiar problem especially because you've got F3 working on your PC. Looking at your rig, your computer is more than capable of running F:NV. I don't know where to start, I've never quite had that sort of problem myself. I would still try to work with .NET and Direct X issues but that's only because I can't work on it myself. If you can't find out the problem there, maybe trying a fresh install of windows? I bet its time to do that anyways. Back up what you need and try it out, if not because you know you need to :S
