Hi
Im runing to major problems trying to run fallout nv on my computer from staight out the box :brokencomputer: , ive tryed changing the graphics in every way possible and from high to low settings there isnt a framerate problem. what happens is that it crashes when i take a action such as using vats, entering/exiting a building,using the pipboy or entering/exiting dialog
i tryed some fixes on the net like editing the .ini files and using d3d9.dll but nothing works, i thought it could be the update as i havent playeed without it but steam woulnt let me play without it
I have litraly no idea what i can do to fix it, and no idea whats causing it
here is some basics info for my computer :
Operating System: windows xp professional(5.1, Build 2600)
Processor: AMD Phenom™ 9500 Quad-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 3328MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250

Im not sure what else could help but just ask if you need more info im really not that technical so i need all the help i can get

Already tried that Multi-Core-Fix?
This was a problem the FO3-engine had and I dont know if there's still a problem with.

You'd need to go into your Game-Directory, and oben the Fallout_default.ini with your Notepad.

Under
[General]

change
bUseThreadedAI=0
to
bUseThreadedAI=1

and add the line directly there
iNumHWThreads=2


May help, would be interesting if it does.
Good luck

Check out this thread with almost the same title:

Nah that doesn't do anything for this game. For FO3 it did, but FNV is programmed better for the quads.

Yeah I've had exactly the same problem since patch 1.41 ... was hoping that the new one would fix it, but no.
I guess I'll just wait for the GOTY for consoles, I'm done with New Vegas on PC.

Oh well, I actually got it to work now. Wow. On the previous patch nothing helped. Not clean saves, new games or anything.
I noticed that I had some items, weapons and such, (old save files) that only exist in mods, even though I had none of the mods activated. When I turned on the corresponding mods,
it works like a charm again. I think mods that add items can mess the game up good, even if deactivated later.
