A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Fallout New Vegas, finally getting around to playing it!

I played it this time of year last year, also first time. It's pretty solid, much better than FO3 which felt too shallow...

How? Did you dig an old PC out of storage?

I can't get New Vegas to run on a modern PC without it constantly crashing, even when with the fan patches and mods that supposedly allow it to work on newer PCs. Please share your secrets.

It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?

I bought it on GOG and it worked out of the box, but I might just be lucky.
