Application load error 5:0000065434
When I try to run nvse_loader.exe (if you know what this is) I get this error. Why the hell?
Can the reason be what I've instaled F:NV not into the default Steam folder but to SteamLibrary folder on another drive?

Any ideas?

and sorry for my poor English :Grenadier:

1 - Open a Command prompt using "Run as Administrator" (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command prompt)
2 - at the prompt type: CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\"
3 - hit enter
4 - a new prompt will appear, showing the above path
5 - at the next prompt type the makelink command (described below)

Command:
mklink /d "Fallout New Vegas" "G:\games\Fallout New Vegas"

(*** "G:\games\Fallout new Vegas" is an example. You will want to put the correct path to your Fallout New Vegas install folder.)

6 - hit enter
7 - This should create the representation of a new folder in the "proper" steam directory. (If you were to open this folder, it should take you to the real "Fallout New Vegas" folder, wherever it actually resides.)
8 - You will need to re-create any shortcuts using the new "proper" path. (IE C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\FalloutNVLauncher.exe)


Q & A

- What did I just do?
You created a Portal between two folders to make them capable of existing in the same time-space. (For lack of a better layman's description) Be wary, this may cause the release of exotic particles into a neighboring universe.

- Why did this work?
When the computer now tries to find Fallout it will go to the default directory, and find the "Fallout New Vegas" symbolic link (again represented as if the folder were actually there) and use it as a window to the actual install. The game will be fooled into thinking it's using the default install directory, when it is not.

- Why not just use a shortcut?
Because it won't work.

not working for me, the link I created is invalid, so I can't make shortcuts to it

If @ULY-5S35 mk II solution didn't work, try installing your Fallout game where you have installed steam, not in another library folder. That worked for me!

Solution to me was to instal FNV in default steam folder with all steam files. In some other topic about it someone claimed that NVSE tries to run steam.exe but does not look for it in original steam folder, so if you instal FNV to default location it will easly find steam.exe.
