Man… if vanilla New Vegas is still giving you performance issues, you might wanna upgrade your toaster.
It absolutely does, though. Vanilla crashes all the time and has several game-breaking bugs. I don’t recommend that anyone plays New Vegas unmodded – especially on a newer machine that’ll be less compatible (like my 7700X + 4090 rig running Windows 11) – unless you just hate yourself. You need community patches to get it in a playable state.
Todd, I didn’t know you were a Lemmy user.
How much can upgrading a computer cost, $10?

It’s not a toaster problem lol. Every time to enter a loading screen you pray the game doesn’t randomly crash
If it brings me a few minutes more battery life on my steamdeck, it is worth it
I mean, isn’t vanilla New Vegas pretty famously unoptimized? I think its performance has less to do with your hardware and more to do with the engine (hence this mod).
My toaster of a desktop can easily run the game at pretty good framerates yet the game just sometimes decided to just crash like it’s nobody’s business.
Hell, it ran it just fine before getting an upgrade from 4gb to something like 16gb of ram, but the problem wasn’t performance issues. Instead it was random crashing. Mods completely fixed that issue.
New Vegas is a pretty good game, but I wouldn’t wanna play it unmodded because I don’t wanna deal with random crashes.
Try playing F.E.A.R without the performance mod, a 5800x3d and 4090 will only get a studdery mess and that game is from 04
Nah, with mods the lack of threading makes oblivion and fo:nv unplayable once you add on enough eye candy
Give us a current gen remake.
My dream is a fallout game set in New Orleans, but made by Obsidian.
Give them permission to have greenery in the game as you run around a massively overgrown swamp (there’s some lore from unpublished games about an over-abundance of GECK testing in the area,)
Helping people actually build new shit from the abundant trees. The people would be that fun mix Creole and Americana.
We could have new enemies, like snakes and gators and shit. Maybe assassin vines and man eating trees.
My dream enemy would be a splinter group of Caesar’s legion and remnants of the Enclave.
As for music, dig deep into New Orleans history. There’s more than enough to put together a kick-ass soundtrack.
After the mess that was Outer Worlds, I hope Obsidian finds itself.
Microsoft has bought up both Obsidian and Bethesda so it is technically possible for them to make another Fallout game. But at the same time they already announced Outer Worlds 2, and I’m not even sure the key people are necessarily still around.
I wonder what would happen if Bethesda gave a few of the best modders full access to the game’s code and to the latest version of the engine. I bet they could come up with a current gen remake in under a year without the involvement of a single Bethesda dev.
I think you’re severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren’t doing it full-time.
This article is talking about it like this is a new thing. It has been part of the core set of QoL mods for new installs for years now. Looks like they got a recent update though which is exciting
Edit: Didn’t look at the link just knew by name, looks like they released a new mod to compliment the one I’m talking about? This person is a fucking godsend
They did indeed release a new engine optimization mod, separate to the standard mandatory-install Stewies Tweaks. The past year has been crazy for NV mods.
The big question remains……is this compatible with A Tale of Two Cities mod?
Well. It’s funny I read this. Since I just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_rzYnXEQlE about refactoring the entire source code of Super Mario 64. It’s insane how much effort modders put into those things.
Kaze my beloved
shit they really used -Os instead -O2 because of the ps3/ 360
We don’t deserve lStewieAl.
