Fallout: New Vegas Forum

Hey, I just bought Fallout NV in the summer sale, but right after installing it there is a problem. Some areas in every house, room or any area outside are just turned down to a very low texture, mostly just one color and every NPC standing in one of these areas also becomes low texture. This wouldn't be a problem to me, but after 3-4 minutes of gameplay, the game crashes. I wanted to get the full error message after the crash, but it just keeps on searching for an error and never succeeds. Here some screenshots:

Here my specs:
iMac (21,5", Ende 2013)
processor: 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics card: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

I hope you can help me with this, best regards,

I have the same problem but before CrossOver 16?

You can try 4Gb patch
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62552/?

And also some optimized textures pack plus all the usual FNV PC tips.

Another thing that can help is to make new 64-bit Windows 7 bottle and then just move FNV to "steamapps" inside new bottle.

I'm having the same problem with a new iMac 27" 4.2 GHz Intel Core i7 running 10.12.5 and the Radeon Pro 580 8192 MB. I tried installing the patch listed above, but that didn't work. Fallout New Vegas is reporting my graphics card as a Radeon 480. Could that be part of the problem? Any way to change that (there weren't other options on the dropdown menu). I'm running the newest (16.2) version of CrossOver as well.

I was rather hoping to go this route instead of Parallels/Bootcamp.

This one worked for me

1. download this 4Gb patcher (FNV4GB-1-9)
   https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kitvzobd3tjdudj/AAA-8b8tTlfJSO_HlAu-Joqza?dl=0

2. Rename and backup Your original "FalloutNVLauncher"

3. Put "FalloutNVLauncher" and "fnv4gb_helper" from "FNV4GB-1-9.zip" inside FNV folder.

4. Now when launching You will not have launcher option but FNV will start with large memory adress enabled.

5. If Yoy want to change startup option bring back Your original "FalloutNVLauncher" (and be realistic with resolution and settings :)

- in others You can find some other usefull performance mods (Anti crash, stutter remover, script extender) plus my favorite "FNV Realistic Wasteland Lighting" which greatly enhance graphics without any performance degradation like enb mods.

I gave that a shot, but it didn't work for me.

Now, the weird thing is that I tried the game with Wine, and it worked fine, even without adding a patch to it. No problem with the textures popping in and out. Very bizarre given that Crossover is basically the paid/supported version of Wine.

And, I don't know exact number, but large portion of Wine patches come from Codeweavers employees.
Check here:

Now why sometimes plain Wine works better than CrossOver is probably that Codeweavers must be conservative with releases regarding their business customers.

I think they are fine if you support them and use plain Wine distributions but than again this sometimes makes undeserved bad picture for Crossover.

Also You can try CrossOver night builds:

As I said in my previous post
1)First, you have get not steam version
2)During installation from list of games, you should choose fallout NV instead fallout
3)During the game, installation refuses direct x !!!!! Just click cancel and choose to skip this step.
4)From game setup do not choose HDR
And that is all 😊

I don't have NV currently installed but just tried Fallout 3 in CrossOver 16.2.5 and it works better than ever.
Steam version in HDR with few mods and 4gb patch on Windows 7 64bit bottle.

Have you tried to install Fallout 4 ? I'm wondering if it's possible or not

On Linux maybe it will work soon in some night build but no hope for DirectX 11 on MacOs until Codeweavers do some Metal magic.

I had the same exact issue. Same thing as shown in the example screenshots. From reading around, the solution that worked for me was to change the rendering mode to "Bloom" (Options --> Screen Effects --> Bloom.) Default appears to be "HDR" which causes me to have the same problem. I haven't installed any mods or patches.
