Game keeps crashing - Windows 10 (64Bit)

[Agony]

No matter what I do, I can not get passed the first cinematic when I start a new game. It just keeps crashing.

I have tried re-installing FO:NV, updating drivers, and a clean boot. This is also installed on a fresh install of Windows 10 (done a few weeks ago)

I tried doing this pure-vanilla and it still crashes, I also tried using on NV script-extender and anti-crash and 4GB ram mod. I get to the same spot each time.


Any suggestions?

Windows 10? AMD or Nvidia card? Try rolling back video card drivers and check this thread.

Another alternative would also to lodge a complaint with Microsoft why Win 10 doesn't support games as well as Win 7 or earlier versions. So many games crash on Win 10!

The last thing you want to do is update your video drivers, all of the 370 series will crash the game. You want to rollback to the 368.81 version.

If there is no official fix then an unofficial fix will be made by a community member of anti crash mod as discussed in his thread.
The best game ever will be fixed one way or another.
Current beta fix makes the hair disappear.

Here is last official word from Nvidia


"Some changes were made to comply with Windows 10 Anniversary Update requirements and we believe this change is the reason why. We have not yet root caused why these changes are affecting the game but we are still investigating. "

And my aniversary update happened today.
Till yesterday I was rocking Fallout NV.
I will play another game till this gets fixed.

Yes - it's been 2 months now since they knew these games were broken.

Its on geforce forum.
They are fixing games on every new update.
It will get fixed soon.
Patience is needed, and development takes times and testing.
I now can understand the delays, my project/ nongaming-related is taking so much longer that anticipated.

Hang in there guys.

Ah, Okay guys. I will downgrade to an older driver update and see if it works. Thanks. (Nvidia btw)

[Eternie]

I can add that on Win 7, I had installed the latest Nvidia driver 372.70 and my Fallout NV works with almost no crashing. ( well no more than normally!) So is it from Nvidia, Win 10, a combination of both and or mods?
Hoping that your issues can be solved, whatever caused them.

It's a combination of both video drivers, and not just those by Nvidia, and the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Nvidia made a post on their forums about it and it has to do with a change made in one of the software protocols used by video cards in the Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade. Any video driver that incorporated that change into it's code causes the game to crash. Windows 7 is not affected as that software protocol was not changed there, it was only done in Windows 10.

Older game driver worked for me. Thanks.
