» Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:05 am I bought Fallout: New Vegas during the Quake Con event on Steam when it was for sale. It works very well on my computer and I was happy since I know I don't have the best CPU/GPU by today's standards. Anyway, about 2-3 weeks ago I started not playing because of well.... life.... and now I go back to play and I'm getting some annoying crashes.
The game runs fine as ever, but if I enter a building or fast-travel my game crashes everytime there's a load screen.
This isn't the result of installing a mod, cause I haven't installed any since I quit playing 3 weeks ago and my game worked perfectly back then. I haven't changed any settings on my computer or modified my setup in anyway. What can I do to fix this???
Thanks for any help!
