I have this problem, after the cinematic sequence right at the start of the game where you wake up at the docs house... the game will crash... after a quick search i tried this "Game Crashes After Cinematic Introduction (Intro Scene)" help thread via http://geekmontage.com

Which works fine with the dll. file but i cannot play any higher than medium resolution... it will just crash out if i opt anything higher. I believe the patch has already been installed on my fallout nv via steam as i check the launcher and the exe file it says v1.2...

is this normal? i taught it was the graphic card driver, which i updated it yesterday, then i taught it was the download so i deleted the fallout nv via steam and re-download it, i even did a file check via steam and it says it found one missing file which it downloaded... but still does not fix my problem.

I want to get the most out of my purchase, and its really annoying that i cannot play anything higher than medium resolution... Funny enough the game selects ultra as its recommended settings... yet it cant even start the game....

Personally its such a disappointment for such a amazing game to be so buggy and was allowed to sell in its current state...
