CTD when leaving Doc Mitchel's house : Fallout: New Vegas

» Wed May 02, 2012 7:47 pm

I CTD after leaving Doc M.'s house. What the hell? None of these so called "solutions" worked. I tried verifying the cache,turning everything down to minimum, still nothing. I get around 40 fps inside of the house, so I assume that I can run the game. There's about 2 revolutions of the roulette wheel and then it just crashes. I'll post specs only if it matters.

Perhaps he was pissed that you didn't say thank you?

I thought I saw you making claims that your horrible video chip worked just fine for FO: NV?

FO3 was Betheda's and simply incompatible with anything Intel claims is video. FO: NV was Obsidian, and what you're getting in that game with your video isn't what I consider "running", really. Bethesda does not offer official tech support for Laptops / Notebooks because most of them have Intel's bad excuses for video. While there may very well be some smoke and mirrors tricks that make that sow's ear seem to you to have become a silk purse, I don't feel it's my duty to promote a lesser quality experience than what Bethesda designed their game to act like and look like.

The very same holds true for any and all games that REAL video cards are the intended hardware for, including Skyrim and Oblivion.

Same as for FO-3, I don't believe a cheap laptop is worth the time to do anything gamewise with.

Yeah, it does. I never said I was able to leave the house though

Same as Oblivion's dungeons, caverns, and sewers, and Fallout 3's starting area, the requirements for the tutorials are lower in Bethesda games. Vault 101, where Fallout 3 starts, is all a tutorial. Honestly, I don't know that the FO: NV tutorial is over with leaving the Doc's house (been some while since I did that), but there is an increase in graphical intensity then, probably like Oblivion's switch from the underground dungeons and galleries to the sewers, which happens near the end of that tutorial.

P. S. I found an old bookmark in FireFox (my copy) for Ball of Fire's Mod Collection that was for low end cards to run Oblivion, and the very latest of Intel's Sandy Bridge solutions are now equal to the old 2006 model cards that people needed help to run that game with:

I have the same issue, is there any solution?

I can play FO3 fine but not NV for some reason

Running a 260m GeForce and trying all kinds of drivers in order to try to fix it

Window mode doesn't even work

Wrong. You have an actual, made for games video graphics adapter. The author of the thread has none.
