Maybe it's just me, but I crash like CRAZY when I'm near this thing. Before the patch, crashes were random in location and regular time-wise. I could expect to crash after 30 minutes or an hour, regardless of my location. Now though, I crash like crazy when I go through this location. Was just playing, ran to the 188 Trading post, quicksaved as I approached it, crashed, reloaded, played 5 seconds and crashed again, reloaded, played five seconds and quicksaved, then crash again, reloaded, and I crashed AGAIN.

Is it just me or is something seriously wrong with this place?

Try going to a completely different location and doing some quests, this happened to me at Forlorn Hope, a LOT.

I actually rang the tech-line about it. This nice fellow reccommended what I just said, it seems to work...

Yeah, but in this sense, the crashing is worse. Now we have to go somewhere else for 15 minutes before we can come back to our destination.

Now it's happening at Camp McCarren. I'm literally walking in and heading towards the tents and I crash at the EXACT same point after I go a bit too far east, regardless of how far north or south I try to approach those tents from. At least with the crashes before, it was a time-based issue and regular quicksaving minimized the problem. Now it's location-based, and an absolute ***** for anyone trying to get a specific quest done.

That svcks man, are you playing on an xbox? They seem to be getting a lot of problem recently, maybe they'll release 'another' fix soon. They have to release a new patch for old world blues anyways lol

No, this is on PC. I've literally reloaded the game 11 times now and I literally crash at the exact same longitude line within Camp Mccarren. Tried fast traveling somewhere else and returning and it had no effect.

Is there any way to edit the .ini file for New Vegas. Some genius on the Steam Fallout 3 forums once posted a fix for Fallout 3 and windows 7 that works brilliantly. Not only does it allow someone to play Fallout 3 on Windows 7, I've NEVER crashed in Fallout 3 ever since using his fix. It's unbelievable. I'd love to try to edit the .ini file and use his same fix on NV, but the game won't let me access or edit the .ini file. It's got special security.

Can't help you man sorry, I play on PS3..

Kinda wish I'd bought it for my pc though, some of the mods sound kinda swish.

having the similar problems except at devils throat on only my guns character oddly enough

Sometimes something bad happens in a cell, and avoiding it until it respawns (three ingame days IIRC) fixes it. Has happened to me many times in Oblivion and Fallout 3, and just happened in Novac too, had to coc (teleport cheat) out of the motel room to avoid crashing. Funnily enough, to 188

Gomorrah Courtyard for me

Are you playing with mods? The last patch has some reference id numbers set differently. Some mods need to update for those changes which are causing the crashes. Like when its supposed to call up a certain item but brings back a script it crashes.

This happend to me in hidden vally bunker so I left and did the super mutant quest in black mountain went back and it was fine i was still mad be cause i was traqed for a secound i had to restart my xbox twice because i was stuck at a place where I knew if I talked to the guy that you meet without veronica , the head paladin and he would take you to the office it would freeze and i couldent leave because door was locked and it said i HAD to have the key, Although when that was over I found a typo you know that blonde girl in the generater room with that head scribe if you talk to her the letters will say " If " but she said " To "!

Nope. I don't have a single mod. It's just the system itself.

Like I said, I'd love to try that Fallout 3 fix for New Vegas' .ini file too and see if it works for both, but the game won't let me touch the .ini file.

That svcks as the 188 is a great place to get weapons and sell off loot. I hope Beth further fixes the problems that they are adding to the game by trying to fix the most obvious problems. If you have an earlier save file before you enter this area I would suggest loading that up to see if that fixes the problems. If not then just fast travel to another area spend 10-20 minutes in that area, save, and then head back to the 188 or any other area and see if the problems are fixed, if those aren't fixed then the file might be corrupted or something similar.

You're playing on the PC man, live it up a little.



Why can't you access the ini file? It's found in your My Documents\My Games\FalloutNV folder along side your save games by default and you should be able to open it an edit it like any ini file. May have to edit the prefs file and/or the default ini file in the game directory to get things to stick with Steam but you should be able to change things none the less.

The ini file in My Documents may be write protected. Regardless the New Vegas Launcher will overwrite it everytime it's run, so you'll have to modify the Fallout_default.ini in the game's install folder (make a backup first!).

I'm not usually a big fan of mods since a lot of them, to me, are ridiculous. A lot of people just mod in ridiculous weapons or ridiculous appearances etc. The only mods I really use are small ones that fix bugs or add some feature that doesn't actually disturb the gameplay.

And nope. Can't edit it. I can go in and edit it, but the moment I try to save, it forces it to a "Save as," as in another document entirely. If I try to insist on overwriting the Fallout.ini folder, it says it's protected and refuses to do so.

Either way, I'm no computer wiz, so I don't know if the fix will work. I just know I was amazed that Fallout 3 not only worked on Windows 7 with this fix but stopped crashing completely. This is the FO3 fix for anyone who either wants to fix their own FO3 or for anyone who could tell me if it'd work with NV:
