After i installed the game and steam updated it i had the problem that, when i pressed on start in the game launcher windows was loading for a while and then nothing happened.

If you have the same Problem try the following.

right click Fallout new vegas in the steam menu and go to properties.

uncheck the "enable steamcommunity In-Game" and press on ok

after that restart steam and try to run the game again.


That did it for me. I have no idea what is the problem with the in-game community but maybe that will be solved with a new update.

I hope that will do it for you too.

thx i've just tried that but FNV is updating so i still don't know if it's going to work but still thanks! i have the same problem i think

your solution worked....but now i have another problem.... when i start the game everything goes fine but then a box comes up and it says Fallout New Vegas has stopped working... and i can't play.. can you help me?

Same problem... sadly this solution does not fix it for me.
