Detecting video hardware loop

[toddy4city]

Hi, I've been playing new vegas and then suddenly its started a video hardware loop where it keeps checking and wont save settings. I've tried re-installing, running steam and program as admin, turning fire wall off. The game doesn't save the settings and there no .ini folder. Please help as I've read all comments and gone online and nothing seems to work. Is there even a way to download a mod to shortcut the video detecting?

maybe check antivirus log - new definition may be blocking steam/game launcher
check windows security controlled folder access. update may have turned it on.
if settings arent being saved, game cannot write to disk. you have a permission problem

If it worked before, then just remove the read-only flag from the two INI files in Documents\My Games\falloutnv

Cheers guys after lots of playing around found out it was one drive stopping the ini files from writing! All sorted thanks again :)

hi, I'm having the same problem here can someone walk me through it step by step? I've tried whitelisting it on my antivirus, but that didn't work

The issue for me was OneDrive. Here's what I did to fix it:
1. Open OneDrive
2. Go to Documents
3. Find 'My Games' folder
4. Find 'FalloutNV' folder
5. Delete everything except for 'Saves' folder
6. Launch the game through Steam

It should then detect settings once more and hopefully work.

Disable or uninstall OneDrive. Probably have to reinstall some stuff because it gets into a lot of stuff. Just to invasive for my liking.

How do I fix it it does it to me to and I just bought it today

[cheshirm]

one drive does not stop files being written. it MOVES files out of the Documents folders into Documents\One Drive\folders. the game does not read one drive folders.

turn off/disable/uninstall one drive if you do not need/use it.
or if you need windows one drive read the one drive manual on how to exclude a folder and leave a local copy of your files. (I do not use one drive so do not know the details)
