Fallout New Vegas 8gb
Oct 24, 2015 (My Computer runs 8GB but I only want to use 7GB)I want the game to run the best it can, by giving it more power and I know the launch settings command ' -high -maxMem=7000 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -winx' but I noticed that there is a mod called 4GB Fallout New Vegas that is rather popular. I would prefer to use 7GB instead of 4, but the fact that the mod exists makes me.
I'm just wondering, as says Fallout 3 runs at recommended settings on my computer. I don't have Fallout 3 on PC, but have (or, had) it on 360. My brother has it now and hasn't given it back. On Steam New Vegas is $9.99 as the standard edition, and I might want to get it.
Furthermore, how's the PC version? I just glanced at Jeff's review for New Vegas, but it shows he only played it on the 360, which had a bunch of glitches at the time. Would you prefer I get the standard, or spend more at 20 bucks for the Ultimate Edition?
I'm not saying I will buy it for certain, but I want to know the best option I have if I do decide to. Wait for it to go on sale. During last years Holiday Sale it was 2.50 for the base game and 5 bucks for the Ultimate edition.It does run really well and if you install the unofficial patch it will remove 99% of the bugs.As for the DLCs: Dead Money is alright but really hard and frustrating, Honest Hearts is pretty good, Old World Blues is fantastic and Lonely Road is the proper ending for the game. They all have a connecting thread that culminates in Lonely Road but Honest Hearts is the only one that has necessary information that you want before playing Lonely Road. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas runs on whatever they feel like and both are unstable, meaning random game crashes, infinite loading screens, random framedrops etc.
The most noticeable is the stutter because of the bad engine they use. I found out that running an older PC with windows Vista or 7 will run the game better than a new PC with Windows 8/8.1.
Fallout New Vegas 8gb Patch
This could have changed during Windows Updates or driver updates however. Just make sure you don't force the in-game Vsync off or use desktop 120/144Hz because this will break the game engine. In terms of Standard or Ultimate Edition, the latter is the best version because of all the content they give you. Also most of the new stories are fairly good too. Though I wouldn't necessarily pay $20 for it so wait until it goes on sale, unless you really want to because it gives you a lot of content. Am I the only one who never has any of those issues?
I remember there being random crashes on Fallout 3, but most of those were because Windows Vista removed a bunch of Audio API's and Bethesda had to cobble something together at the last minute.When New Vegas was released I saw no issues whatsoever. There were random crashes and physics problems, but nothing with any sort of consistancy, or at least not enough to be considered a serious issue.As far as systems go, I was able to get 1080p 60fps with everything maxxed out on my old system. My old PC was a Core 2 Duo e6600 (2.4gHz per core), 2gb of Ram, and a Nvidia Geforce 8800GT. That was at best a mid-range PC back in 2008, so I don't see why anything that has been released since then should have a problem running the game. I've played Fallout 3 and New Vegas on Xbox 360 aswell and they both had issues with infinite loading screens and game crashes, New Vegas more than Fallout 3. I didn't notice the stuttering at the time, but on PC with 60 frames per second it's very noticeable.
Trying New Vegas on a Intel i5 3570k, 8GB of DDR3 memory, GTX 680 2GB and Windows 7 64-bit ran it fairly good. An i7 5820k, 16GB DDR4 memory, GTX 980 4GB and Windows 8.1 64-bit runs it worse. This is most likely due to premature drivers and software related issues, but please take notice that I am a very picky person when it comes down to graphics/performance. There was a game breaking bug on Xbox 360 that was patched (something about a Sheriff's hat in your inventory in New Vegas). I guess I've played over 200 hours on PC with mods and the only major issue I had was a consistent crash at a spot inside the airport. It was nothing game breaking because it wasn't an important environment. I can't remember if I found a workaround.You might not be able to run around the most densely populated areas with the highest settings because that was weirdly demanding.If you save your game frequently you should be alright.
Fallout New Vegas Stutter
This mod is now deprecated, please go here insteadName: 4GB FNV UpdatedAuthors: MonochromeWench, Hendricks266 & Roy BattyVersion: v1.9Date: 21/2/2014Thank you all for 27000+ EndorsementsFNV4GB is a tool to load Fallout New Vegas with the Large Address Aware executable flag set so the entire 4GB Virtual Memory Address Space can be used by the game. This is useful when using lots of Mods and Texture Packs.Why use this tool, when there are 4GB patch tools and PE Editors you might ask? Well the Steam envelope for the FalloutNV.exe does not tolerate any tampering and will error out if you modify it that way, so this tool was created by MonochromeWench to get around that limitation.It is recommended to copy the FNV4GB.exe and fnv4gbhelper.dll to the New Vegas installation directory. Doing so will allow the tool to work with ENB, SweetFX, FXAA injector and other such utilities with a minimum of hassle. However it is not necessary (YMMV).Create a shortcut to FNV4GB.exe and place it on your desktop, pin it to your task bar, or copy it to your quick launch bar.First, make sure you have launched the game with the default launcher AT LEAST ONCE after setting up your graphics options or the program will NOT function properly.Make sure Steam is running.
