*SOLVED* Crashing

[Francisè von Spitroast]

I've played this game extensively for years without issues and now it's crashing constantly. I've installed non-crash mods and performance mods, whatever. Anyone know a fix or is my save doomed?

Try this

My NVSR .ini file settings which fixed the windows 10 crashing issue and now runs stable and fairly smooth with only the occasional stutter.
My game is heavily modded (FOOK-PN-WMX-WME-EVE-AWOP Convergence, Warzones, IWS, MoMod, Factions Reloaded, 2K textures, etc, etc)
Hope this might help someone suffering crashes like I was before I made the changes. Mainly changed the Critical Sections iDefaultMode to 1.
My Specs: i7 7700k - GTX 1080ti - 16GB RAM - 500GB SSD

First you'll need: New Vegas Script Extender, New Vegas Anti Crash, RoyBatty's 4GB Patch, and enboost, and setting the enblocal.ini to look like:

Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout new vegas\enblocal.ini :

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=true
ReservedMemorySizeMb=1024
VideoMemorySizeMb=10240
EnableCompression=true
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

To use ENBooost without having to turn off Anti Aliasing add this to the bottom of your enblocal.ini file:

[GLOBAL]
UseENBoostWithoutGraphics=true

And also using the Sheson memory patch (Google it) in the NVSE .ini file to look like:

steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\NVSE\nvse_config.ini :

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=496
scrapheapsizeMB=256

And finally, I am using BOTH the Sheson Memory patch heap replacement as shown above, together with the NVSR heap replacement.
I don't know why it works, but if I only use one or the other I still get crashes around Primm, West Vegas, and other over-modded areas.

Thanks guys. I actually just decided to remove NVSR both through the mod manager and by deleting the files in the folder and that solved it. Thank God.
