Does Steam have a way to run a game in compatibility mode?
I don't use steam very often and recently I downloaded Fallout: New Vegas on my Windows 10 machine, It won't work. I've looked at threads and forums and none of the solutions helped, so I'm thinking my problem is compatability. I can open the properties file and run an individual .exe in compatibility but not the whole program, does steam have a way to run the whole program in compatibility mode? Or is it my computer? I'm using a stock Alienware X51.

New Vegas workst just fine on 10 without any compatibility settings.
But if you want, open the game folder, set the compatibility mode for the game executable and run it from within Steam.

There are two executables, FalloutNVLauncher, and FalloutNV, Would it maybe be a problem with permissions? I am running steam as administrator, buut i can't seem to figure out how to seet fallout as admin. TYhough that's the only thing on a thread I haven't tried.

The game inherits administrative privileges when you start Steam with them.
Although this is bad practice and you really shouldn't do that.

You're all right, compatability is not the problem. I tried running both .exes in compatability and the launcher just crashed, each time. I keep getting the error, "Fallout: New Vegas does not appear to be installed and the installer could not be found. Try exploring to your DVD-ROM drive and selecting setup.exe to install the game." Any solutions that might fix it?
