Fallout New Vegas Freezing Windows 10

For Fallout: New Vegas on the PlayStation 3, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'How Can I get new vegas to stop freezing?'

• Windows 10 Fallout New Vegas Crash

Almost every time I play NV my game freezes on me. It is not always after a certain amount of time, sometimes it tends to freeze after roughly half an hour. Other times it freezes after a few hours of game play. Any how, I was just curious if it does this because my copy has been played a lot. I have put probably 400+ hours into NV so that could be the cause? I haven't a clue so help any one.

I'd appreciate it.In my experience, if I played the game longer, it froze more often. For example, after 3 hours gaming it took one minute to exit a building.

After 4 hours the game crashed sometimes. So maybe if you play longer, your game freezes more often. 23:00, May 3, 2011 (UTC)It freezes on me sometimes, not all the time, but enough to aggravate the s.t out of me. Once I played for about 20 mins, and then it froze 3 times in a 10 min period, so I turned it off for the day, and the next day, it didn't freeze once. It's just one of THOSE kinda games I guess. The longer you play, the longer ittakes to load, also let me add, I hate the loading time for this game.

04:40, May 4, 2011 (UTC)16:43, May 5, 2011 (UTC)This happens to me too, it used to happen actually, I've now fixed it:PIn my opinion, because of how long it takes to load, I think it puts a lot of pressure on your Xbox/PS3/PC, which causes it to become hot, which obviously causes it to overheat. Well I'm not sure about the PC, because they're probably a lot better to play on, but I'm pretty sure thats the case with my xbox, it gets red hot:PYeah anyway, if you have an xbox, I installed the disc onto my xbox, I'm pretty sure you can do that on PS3, but not sure about a PC. When you install the disc most of the memory is already stored on your hard drive, making the loading at least twice as quick, and I haven't froze once since:P Hope that helps:P 16:43, May 5, 2011 (UTC)I installed it on my xbox, and it still freezes on me, but like I said, not all the time. It does make it load quicker, but still, after you play for awhile, it takes FOREVER to load, but still faster than not having it installed. 02:51, May 7, 2011 (UTC)To (94.174.234.85 94.174.234.85), good for you, you fixed it! But how can this be of ANY interest for us if you don't say HOW?

Irrelevant post. An NO, all those most common bugs have nothing to do with the hardware, they're a matter of game design and dev bugs. I just built a new PC with ATI HD6950 2Gb + i7 950 + 6Gb DDR3 RAM + 90Gb SSD for the Win7 64bits OS + 1.5 Tb SATA 6 Gbps HDD holding my games (7.7 on Windows performance scale), and let me tell you that it's NOT a matter of hardware: my graphic card never gets above 56 Celsius, same for my CPU, and I can play Crysis 1 and 2 maxed out + 8xAA + 15xAF for hours, very smoothly and without any problem. But not that NV game.

Every time I play NV it's like I'm walking over eggs, there's always some tension in the background over whether or not the game will crash on my next move, and I hate that, it's a total immersion breaker.Have you checked these links, guys? I did some tweaks on the ini files based on these guides and I have no freezing problems, not even with the GECK and browser with 20+ pages started. I had with Fo3 before editing the files, but with FNV I did the tweaks from the begining. 19:05, May 14, 2011 (UTC)I play on PS3 and downloaded all the DLCs. I found that the closer to the end of the game I get, the more laggy and likely to crash it becomes.

As far as the system overheating goes, it's unlikely that that is the problem. Granted, when NV crashes, my whole system goes with it, but I can play other games for the same amount of time and they never freeze. As others have said, install on the system and save often. I've done everything in the Mojave except the final mission and am halfway through OWB and it's just aggravating to try to play it.

My sister is also playing NV on my system with less that 20 hrs gametime and it never freezes for her.yet. I think it has a lot to do with the engine trying to handle too much at once. Awesome games, poor engine. Hopefully the fix this for Fallout 4, because I think I speak for all Fallout lovers when I say we can't take another disappointing game engine!-gensnipe-It mostly stopped happened on my XP Pro box after I got windows optimized. I think that Nvidia settings matter alot in that you want to try to turn everything off or close.

Also, with Windows 10 home you need to at least run it in 7 compatibility mode and also probably let windows scale the mouse.

I am asking this out of curiosity to see what seems to be the normal/average amount of time before the game it crashes/freezes for people and what system was it forif it cashes/freezes for youfor me it was a day two ago freezing at some were between 1-25 minuets from when i load the gamesome may call that unplayable but i call it very annoying and an immersion killerbut that was being caused by mods(obviously my system is the pc)to add to it for some reason many the place i discovered in big mt(old wold blues) got undiscovered. And a few days ago i was playing honest hearts and the places i discovered disappeared from the map.

Then deleted the all save files that i made after starting honest hearts(i was not that far).i deleted my data folder and replaced it with a clean one. Not at all actually, and this was about a couple days after launch.Same with Skyrim though there were some textures issues on launch for me.Fallout 3 i got a month after launch, worked fine too except for this one quest that i wasn't sure i couldn't figure out, or if it was just completely bugged.Soo yeah, awks.Ah i should mention, Fallout 3 and New vegas are on the PS3 for me.

Skyrim on the PC.I did have an odd loading screen that lasted 3 minutes once in New Vegas when i went into a shack and it happened again when i left that shack. Everywhere else was fine, it was just that Time distorting shack O.o. Depends on which version you're talking about.Initially, for some reason I still can't remember, I bought New Vegas for my PS3. At one point that crashed every 20 minutes or so, bugs and glitches all over the place. Made me absolutely despise the game.But then I got it for the PC during a Steam sale, including all DLC up until that point, and I don't think it ever crashed there.

Really fell in love with it as well also thanks to the excellent expansion packs. I so do love Old World Blues and the Fallout 1-ish tribal atmosphere of Honest Hearts.Fallout 3 had some hiccups but not that much worth mentioning.

For me, on PS3, it tends to freeze or become unplayably laggy an average of about 30 minutes after starting it up, although that can change if I'm playing through any of the DLC. Lag and freezing tends to be significantly more frequent in the outdoor areas of the Old World Blues and Lonesome Road DLCs (usually about 10 minutes of being outdoors does the trick), while Honest Hearts and Dead Money are actually downright stable. Certain areas of the vanilla game are also really bad offenders when it comes to performance, namely the Hidden Valley bunker, the Strip, and the Strip casinos. So it's pretty much an unplayable mess for me, which is a real shame since it's also one of the best games ever made.
