So NV keeps crashing and I can't figure out why. I have NVSE completely updated, and I thought I had the right load order, but apparently not.

Thanks!

Maybe somethings is missing a master or a mod is loading before its master. Have you esmized your esp's with FNVMasterUpdate? That has made some of my mods load before their masters till I fixed their dates/load order.

Could also be a mod with something seriously wrong with it. i.e. wrong variable/reference type where its not supposed to be.

Windows 7 64-bit? It's an issue with the .dll Steam just has to load before it'll start the game. I have to keep restarting it before it decides to finally work. It usually takes 3-4 times for it to work.

I'm pretty sure they are loading properly, there aren't any mods loading before their masters.


Yeah I have windows 7 64 bit, but this crashing problem hasn't happened before. It just started when I started using these mods.

I would test it with no mods loaded to see if the problem persists. I don't think it's a problem with the mods, I think it's a problem with how Steam interfaces with the launcher.

had the same problem for a while.. turning off Archive Invalidation at FOMM did the trick

Hmm. That doesn't turn it off in the .ini does it? But it's not like it's hard to reset that...is it? :unsure:

[edit]: I just tried Gre-nades and HAM's suggestion and the launcher didn't crash on me when I started the game. I had to manually redo my archive invalidation process, but that wasn't very hard to do. Make sure you only modify the fallout_default.ini file in your New Vegas folder because that one will overwrite the other three.

Oh, I don't think I was being very clear. It's not the launcher, its the actual game, like it crashes before reaching the start menu.

Sorry for the lack of clarity. :blush:

Have you tried the BOSS auto-sort? I know the weather mod said it should load last, but I'm not sure about that ELECTRO-CITY - Imaginator.esp one. Also, what is the URWLified version?

Thats the load-order BOSS has given me. :confused:

I disabled all of my mods, and the problem persists, I'll try to reinstall NVSE I suppose.

i was just having a similar problem. i would only see the first screen (one with all the copyright material) and then NV would crash. i fixed it by re-verifying the game cache. very easy to do: load steam, go to your game library, right-click on Fallout NV, select properties from the drop menu, go to the local files tab, and click the "verify the game cache button."

hope this helps

EDIT: on a side note doing this resets the ini file. so you may want to copy it if you made any changes. (i assume so because i had to reapply the edits for darN UI)

To the OP:

What changed between the game not crashing and crashing? Did it patch? If you use the .bsa version of Archive Invalidation Invalidated, a patch or two ago made it so that the old location of the .bsa would produce the crash you're experiencing. The new location of the .bsa in your fallout_default.ini should be like this:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1bUseArchives=1SArchiveList=Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, AII-FNV!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa

I've got the exact same problem, the game crashes immediately when I start it. My .bsa for arhcive invalidation invalidated is named exactly AII-FNV! and I used this(Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa, AII-FNV!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa) for Fallout.ini, Fallout_default.ini, and FalloutPrefs.ini. I use the archive invalidation from here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35935. I activate it before I start the game. Here is my load order:

I just discovered that my game was crashing before the main menu due to the Sprint mod.
