Issues and Fixes
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Game Crashes Randomly
FalloutNV.exe has stopped working
- This usually occurs when trying to quit the game.
Game Stuck On Loading Screen
- Perpetual loading screen.
- Sometimes attempting to 'load' a save game does not work.
Unable To Level
- Caused by using
adlevel console command.
Some Sounds Don't Work
- Voice acting and Pip-boy sounds (and possibly others) can not be heard, while the radio and movement can.
application load error P:0000065434
- This happens when you start the launcher.
Game Crashes on Startup (NVSE installed properly)
- This happens when you start the game, and have mods that utilize NVSE. (New Vegas Script Extender)
Player "Sliding"
- Some players have reported that their character will continue to move or "slide" a bit sometimes even after they have stopped moving. There is no known fix for this problem. Note that this should not be confused for the game engine forcing characters to take a full step when moving.
