Yeh. Very likely that NCR'll be dead.

Also, can we please have this take place somewhere other then America? I mean, I LOVED NV's Western feel...But we've got whole fekkin' PLANET of places to go!

I think they don't want to reveal that 60% of the remaining world was completely untouched by the war and they just go about business as usual while USA and the commies are a crater. </onlyhalfjoking>

What about a British "reconquest" of New England, provided England was also blown into the stone age.

I've always thought a nuclear winter wonderland would be a pretty interesting setting. It would be a nice change of scenery.

This Fallout hiatus is so boring. Almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

COUGH FALLOUT: CANADA WHEN

oh shut up
COUGH FALLOUT: CANADA WHEN

Ohhh? Do you know what Canadian 1950s culture was like?

[GiglameshDespair]

Besides, Canada was taken over by the Americans in falloutverse anyway.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...Your point being? What about that makes it impossible for it to be a fallout game? It was annexed, yes, so they probably have some Canadian Vaults. And in FO1, I believe, around the top of the map, you run into a fun little easter egg-A man tells you Canadian Raiders or somesuch are getting rowdy. They then appear from the north and attack.

And, being from Canada, I do, actually. It was quite similar to USA, Neon.

So, reinstalled NV and started over with a mod list nearly three times the size. Auto-config put all of the settings at max and I dumped as many high-res texture mods as I could on top of that, and the game runs like a charm now.

Fuck it, I'm beyond trying to figure out the logic, I'll just not change anything and hope that it doesn't throw a fit.

Okay, I think that's it. Obviously also ten million compatibility patches. Still only ~25% the length of my Skyrim modlist.

...it lags less with high res mods? Please do share as forsaken said. 

It lags less because the game is a heaping pile of ass when it comes to working consistently, like its cousins, and has no rhyme or reason to it. I'm sure it's absolutely unrelated to the settings and high res textures, because I've tried those both before to no effect. It's not the stutter remover or other performance fixing mods either, because a few months ago I tested extensively with various combinations and nothing fixed the game. Now it decided to start working, and that's good enough for me. 

Wasn't really lag, either, obviously. Some sort of weird, inconsistent FPS spikes and general poor performance. IDK why.

Load order+Computer specs are always a useful thing.

[Astral]

One thing that may help, particularly with mods that make heavy use of NVSE, is New Vegas Anti Crash. I noticed crashes quite a bit less often, and even when it does it ended up being a bit easier to get out of.

[Flying Dice]

Load order+Computer specs are always a useful thing.

My load order is about as lazy as possible. I ran BOSS, tried the game (it worked) and said "fuck it, I'll fiddle if it starts crashing". Also, ditched PR because holy fuck I forgot how much I hate those impossibly dark nights and don't want to view half the game through a filter.

I play on a Lenovo y580, which apart from problems with getting really fucking hot, wonky graphics card switching, and a headphone jack that is easily knocked out of alignment, is pretty good as gaming laptops go.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Quad-core 2.7 GHZ i7-3820QM CPU -- it can overclock to 3.7 GHz, but it already gets dangerously hot. This is the main drawback to the machine.
GTX 660M, 2GB VRAM -- Again, problem with the automated switching between this and the Intel integrated chipset is wonky, though at least it's either the best or second-best of those, so I could play some games while I fixed it.
8GB RAM
650GB HDD
1920x1080p resolution monitor
Keyboard with a number pad -- yes, this deserves to be on this list, you don't know what you're missing until it's gone.

[SOLDIER First]

Quick thing: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (as well as everything Fallout-related) is on sale on Steam. NV: Ultimate is twelve bucks, 3: GOTY is also twelve bucks I believe, and it's all super cheap.
