Is it true that this game runs like crap?

[Yuiiski]

Hi, not hating or anything, but I would like to purchase this game but have heard for years now that this game runs badly even with a high-end PC, mainly on Windows 10.

Idk where you got this from. Runs fine for me.

Runs fine for me too.

Finding that Fallout 76 was not for me left me in need of a Fallout fix, and I’ve played F4 to death.
So I’ve reinstalled FNV, modded it to help with base game bugs, and enjoying the hell out of it.

It’s going really cheap – get it and enjoy the Obsidian writing which is why people say FNV was the best.

Indeed, I just bought it like a second ago. But, all I have heard is without mods, the game just stutters and drops in frames a lot. Is that true at all?

I have modded mine. If you're new to modding this may help (I'm a dunce and need everything simple).

I installed FNV and Vortex Mod Manager.
Then I ran FNV so it set up the folders.
Then I ran Vortex and first I added NVSE, and made sure that was installed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbu-NxDQS4g a very concise how to).

Then I added my mods to Vortex.
I found this Ultimate Mod List, that a friend sent me useful (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu1FrG9PhMGZAsG5Nslh13sqLOwsBJo4wdaD5YHXD7k/edit)

I should add I personally haven’t installed the Anti-crash and Anti-Stutter mods.

Sweet, thank you! I already have VMM installed so will do the rest now, cheers!

My base machine is a server from 2007. I can run New Vegas all the way up. Gamebryo bugs are still present, but don't slow me down much. No mods here.

You can refund it if you find that to be the case.

There are plenty of optimization mods you can use.

Parts of the Sierra Madre DLC runs badly for me.

The game was made on the same engine used since Morrowind (released in 2002) and Obsidian were forced to complete the game in a year and a half (Thanks to Bethesda) so the game has lots of bugs and optimization issues.

Thankfully mods fix both of those. If you want better performance, download this:

By default, Fallout New Vegas runs on 2 gb of ram. This makes it run at 4 gb, which reduces a lot of memory allocation errors you'll get with HD mods. It also patches the current steam .exe file, rather than having a seperate .exe like other 4 gb RAM mods, so you get to unlock achievements and track hours with it, if that's your thing.

This game runs like OJ Simpson in a white bronco.

[mor3llo]

For me , yes. Lots of random stutters which do get pretty annoying. Kinda ruins the game experience. Windows 10 does not mix well with that game

[talgaby]

As it was said, the game engine is older than most people on these forums. It runs on 10-year-old hardware just fine. The only thing it has issues with are really low-end low-power mobile Intel Celeron and AMD FX/A-series chips.

runs great on my intel hd potato, 4 year old craptop at 11.3 inches lol, runnin at 800x600 30 fps above.

[MaximumEffort]

10 mods and it runs fine

You just need to carefully mod it and it'll run just fine. I'm on Windows 10.
