360 controller only?

What Bull-shit if it is...... I don't want to run out and spend 60 bucks on a controller......

almost all 360 ports are 360 controller exclusively.

and shit, i got mine for $25 near-new, buy second hand yo.

no, it doesnt.

even if you turn the things back on in the launcher, you are STILL getting lower graphics. various things are disabled because the 7900 it thinks you have isnt compatible with them.

turning them on in the launcher does nothing, the game overrides the launcher since you have an 'incompatible' card

and yeah the NPC lag sucks, they need to patch it already.

What exactly gets disabled cause I can't tell.

Normal

With d3d9.dll

Normal

With d3d9.dll

Actually with d3d9 the cracks in the second pick on the road are more outlined and the reflection/gating a tad bit more prominent than without using the tweak.

7900 handles all of the features this game offers. I notice 0 difference graphically between the "patch" or without.

Started playing last night. Damn I was hoping you guys were kidding, but it is quite buggy. Mine looks like it's artifacting, and the NPCs seem to be doing the robot dance. Still though Fallout3 was similar at start so I can look past that.

But hardcore mode.. to get from A to B means following the road until you see small settlement then walking round that to avoid deathly ambush, which in turn means running away from scorpions. And maybe it's because I haven't levelled up yet, but Laser Rifle has no effect almost.

/rant (start of wishing for patch)

9800GTX is playing it flawlessly at high at 1280x1024 letter box. I haven't really seen any bugs so to say watching the boy play it all day.

Just cram weapons into your inventory. I carry different weapons loaded with different types of rounds. The .44 Magnum is loaded with AP, the .357 with HP, the 9mm with HP, the hunting rifle with normal, the service rifle with AP. That means I have the correct type of ammo for the correct type of enemy, so when I see them, I don't have to switch ammo, just weapon. Fast draw FTW! :cool:

the 'fix' forces the game to think you have a 7900 and therefore disables many graphical options.
turning the options on in the launcher does nothing if this 'fix' is installed!

ones i've seen reported as disabled using the fix:

AA
HDR
bloom
all shadows
all advanced lighting

when i tested it it did NOT remove the NPC slowdown, the overall higher FPS just made it LESS laggy - not stopping it completely.

I had to use said fix after using it set back on high settings 4xaa 15xaf and it runs hella better for me and all the features are working.

buy a mad catz wired 360 controller for 15 bucks they work without a hitch and don't need ms's controller driver.

Rofl Deputy Beagle has been possesed

erocker · Oct 24, 2010

Lol, Deputy Beagle has been playing with a space/time machine. He has failed.

Raovac · Oct 24, 2010

Ok need some help here.
I got FONV the day it was released (DVD version) and just can not get it to run past the opening video. Just as the game is abouut to load, it crashes to desktop and I get the "FalloutNV has stopped working" error.
Things I have tried are:
1) adding the "d3d9.dll" and it crashes also due to my crossfire. Disabled crossfire, this caused my screen to go dark (like after playing Mafia2, and the ctrl,Alt,Del didn't help) enabling crossfire didn't help, and haven't been able to get it back to normal since except by increasing my LCD contrast from 50 to 100 to even get it close to where it was. But that's another story. failed
2) Uninstalling/ reinstalling the game. failed
3) Deleting Steam's "ClientRegistry.blob" file and force it to reload on start up. failed
4) Verify Integrity of Game cache consantly gives me the following error; "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired". This keeps popping up even right after I verify, close and restart Steam, and reboot. The file never validates. failed
Now checking the "GameValidatiion" file it shows the Validation failure file being "Installcript.vdf" which is located in the FONV directory. Opening this file with notebook is all garbled but reds as such:
"InstallScript"
{
"Registry"
{
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Bethesda Softworks\\FalloutNV"
{
"string"
{
"Installed Path" "%INSTALLDIR%\\"
}
}
}

"Run Process"
{
"VisualCRedist"
{
"HasRunKey" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Valve\\Steam\\Apps\\22380"
"process 1" "%INSTALLDIR%\\Redists\\vcredist_x86.exe"
"command 1" "/q"
"NoCleanUp" "1"
}

"DirectX"
{
"HasRunKey" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Valve\\Steam\\Apps\\22380"
"process 1" "%INSTALLDIR%\\Redists\\directx\\DXSETUP.exe"
"command 1" "/silent"
"NoCleanUp" "1"
}
}
}

From what I can tell it's either a "Visual c++" error, or a "DirectX" error.
5) Uninstalled all "Visual c++" and installed the one that came with the game. failed
6) Installed ALL "Visual c++" 2005,2008, 2010 x86, and x64 versions. failed
7) Installed "DirectX" that came with game. failed
8) Installed newest "DirectX June 2010". failed
9) Uninstalled my Asus Xonar soundcard and went back to onboard. failed
9) Uninstalled Ati drivers, reinstalled 10.9. failed
10) Installed 10.10's. failed

I am out of ideas and have no more hair to pull out. :banghead:

any help would be welcome.

Problem fixed. With all the helpful hints I received, please don't post any more....... :nutkick:

Lol he did that on me too hahaha.. Had a fair few crashes one was due to buying cards that i already have in my inventory and as long as you check your inventory before buying or picking up the card the crash was avoided.

Other that and 2 times it slowed down for some odd reason the games played perfect with highest details x2 AA 4AF @1920x1080.

Agreed. FO3 was that way to an extent too when it was released, hard to remember a game that truly wasn't buggy on release that I've played in the last few years. But, I think I'll wait and see what the Steam X-Mas-time sale has in store for this title...I actually just got back into FO3 again after getting the GoTY edition recently.

Doesn't look all that different, but I'd like to try the iron sights...The Iron Sights mod for FO3 either doesn't work or isn't that impressive yet, though I'm still early into my new game, just hit LV4.

guitarfreaknation · Oct 24, 2010

Bugs or no bugs, I think this game is boss once you get into it. BTW, where do you train to wear "power armor"?

DaMulta · Oct 24, 2010

Well my boys little 7yr old G/f came over, and at first she was I hate this game, hate this game, lets play GTA lets play GTA....I hate the keyboard.

30mins later she is just as into it as he is.

MoonPig · Oct 24, 2010

Quick question, how far into the BoS quests do you learn to use Power Armour? Really want it, i have some T51-B in my backpack

Kursah · Oct 24, 2010

How does the action in this compare to FO3 thus far? GoTY is pissing me off with random CTD's, no matter what I do (gonna try disable desktop comp now) it still crashes, could be 5 minutes, could be an hour. I'm ninja-quick saving as much as I can though lol. I'm in the mood for some Fallout dammit! Are you guys preferring NV over 3, or 3 over NV? I know 3 is good and what-not...but now I remember why I stopped playing it a long time ago...I am getting that "buy FO:NV on steam" itch...lol.

you have 4 choices
1. join the brotherhood of steel and get power armor training from them
2. get Arcade Gannon as your companion from the Followers of the Apocalypse in Freeside so you can get the power armor training from his enclave buddies and the super 1337 enclave remnant power armor
3. get the power armor training from the brotherhood of steel and then go to Silver Peak Mine where you can find the remnant power helmet and then go to "Deathclaw Promontory is an unmarked area on the east bank of the Colorado River, north of Cottonwood Cove. It is a rough, uneven flat area over a cliff, filled with an obscene number of deathclaws, 20+" where you will find the remnant power armor
4. get the power armor training from the brotherhood of steel and open up console and type in player.additem 133166 1 and hit enter and player.additem 133167 1 and hit enter IF you are a lazy bastard like me

Kursah · Oct 25, 2010

I just gave in, downloading from Steam now! I got to reading this thread more, and reading reviews, and another CTD in FO3...grr. Hopefully this game isn't as buggy as what I'm dealing with now...and it seems many are swearing by that 7900GS ID patch, and that some FO3 mods work for NV, etc.

Now while I wait for NV to D/L, back to the fight to get FO3 to not CTD! :banghead:

why do you have no shadows on anything?

nevermind, went to those areas myself and noticed no shadows either. looks weird tho.
