just reposting a question of mine from the NVSE thread. It has been on there all week and no response.

I can't seem to get NVSE to run.

i have read this post and i seem to have installed NVSE correctly and am following the correct steps to use it: everything is in my fallout NV folder (not Data, but the one with FNV launcher), Steam is set to allow "Steam Community In-game," and i use a shortcut that points to "steam://rungameid/22380" to load the game.

when i load the game and use the "GetNVSEversion" command i get errors (which i gather means NVSE is not loading correctly and therefor not running)

also, i just noticed FOMM seems to know i have NVSE; however, when i use the "Launch NVSE" button i get an error from the NVSE Loader "C:\steam\steam\apps\common\fallout new vegas\ falloutnv.exe failed (740)."

What does that mean? do the NVSE files have to be in a certain order on the Fallout NV folder, or something? I have tried reinstalling the mod (twice) and still getting the same errors. I have no clue what i am doing wrong

All you have to do is extract the contents of the folder into your Fallout New Vegas directory. The order shouldn't be a problem. Are you using the latest version compatible with the patched Steam game?

that is what i have been doing. i extracted the nvse_1_beta6 folder to FNV folder, than copied everything inside it to the FNV folder. I am using the version of NVSE that is linked in the official thread (1.6 beta)

EDIT: That is the same way i installed oblivion script extender, and it works fine (which is way NVSE not working is confusing me).

This is strange because I have always had Steam Cloud disabled because I have no use for it. NVSE has always worked for me (I can tell easily because I use the Readius PDA and it won't display at all without NVSE.

Are you using the 4Gb Memory Extender? This is not compatible with NVSE and will not load it.

Have you tried to run FONV from the Steam App interface. It is possible that by calling it in the way you do you are bypassing the Launcher. (Does the Red launcher window with the Play Options Data Files and Tech Support options screen display?) If it doesn't you are bypassing the launcher and somehow skipping the executable file check.

It is possible the executable has been corrupted. Try Verifying the game cache files.

what is steam cloud? isn't that the program that keeps track of progress through the game? i thought i only needed to "enable steam community in-game" to get NVSE working... is there anyway i should configure steam cloud?

i am not using the 4Gb memory extender

i tried loading NVSE directly from Steam, and using the nvse_loader, both times the "getnvseversion" command returned an error

if it helps, here is my nvse_loader log:

That shouldn't matter, as long as the steam community settings are enabled it should be fine. I always leave steam in offline mode as I can't tell you how little I care about the achivements nonsense and NVSE has always worked fine for me with those settings.



How exactly do you launch the game? Click on the game's desktop shortcut, use the steam shortcut or what? You don't actually load NVSE itself, you launch the game normally and if NVSE is installed it hooks in to the game's executible file. If you're bypassing the normal game launcher in some way as Edouard suggested it won't work, if you never see that launcher panel you're going to have problems. If the getnvseversion command returns an error than NVSE is not installed correctly at all.

Try to re-download NVSE as you may have gotten a corrupted download as well as re-verify all files in steam and make sure you've been online recently so the game is updated to the latest version. What's the file date on your NVSE files? Mine are all from beta6 dated Dec 14th 2010 and it works fine for me.

to load the game i use an internet shortcut which loads the URL "steam://rungameid/22380." i see the steam launcher window pop up when i load the game, just like if i loaded the game directly from steam. I have also tried loading the game directly from steam, and "getnvseversion" still returned a compiling error.

i have noticed that every time i "verify the integrity of game cache" it says that one file failed and was redownloaded. could that be the cause? if so, how can it be fixed?
