Pawx1981 Posted May 16, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbeavis Posted May 16, 2013 Share 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?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try using an older version of direct X though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawx1981 Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbeavis Posted May 16, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
