Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Game Crashes Randomly
FalloutNV.exe has stopped working
- This usually occurs when trying to quit the game.
Game Stuck On Loading Screen
- Perpetual loading screen.
- Sometimes attempting to 'load' a save game does not work.
Unable To Level
- Caused by using
adlevel console command.
Some Sounds Don't Work
- Voice acting and Pip-boy sounds (and possibly others) can not be heard, while the radio and movement can.
application load error P:0000065434
- This happens when you start the launcher.
Game Crashes on Startup (NVSE installed properly)
- This happens when you start the game, and have mods that utilize NVSE. (New Vegas Script Extender)
Player "Sliding"
- Character will continue to move or "slide" a bit sometimes even after they have stopped moving. Note that this should not be confused for the game engine forcing characters to take a full step when moving.
Data Files get auto loaded on Startup
- Affected data files are enabled at all times, even if their boxes in the "Data Files" menu are unticked.
- If you chose to delete the
.nam files, you can recover them by verifying the game data files integrity in Steam.
