(For Xbox 360 users removing the auto-save function, in the settings menu will remove most of the save time/corruption issues [As well as reducing travel time])
Hey gang,
So today I was playing New Vegas and I was finishing up some quests in the Old Mormon Fort, but whenever I try to leave this area and head back into Freeside the loading screen will simply not end. I cannot alt tab or bring up task managed either, I'm forced to hard restart my computer. I only have 2 saves for New Vegas and both of them are in the Fort, I've tried both and they yield the same result. I have also entered and exited this area before in the past with no problems at all so I'm not sure why this is suddenly happening now. I do have mods installed but no new ones have been installed since I last entered the Fort with success.

Using the console[edit | edit source]
Main article: Fallout: New Vegas console commands
On the PC, many non-player character, quest, and player-getting-stuck issues can be resolved through the use of console commands.
Crashing, freezing and other hardware- or software-related issues[edit | edit source]
Caused by settings in 'Catalyst Control Center (CCC)', or the popular among ATI users tool 'Ray Adams ATI Tray Tools (ATT)'. With ATT you should go 'tray icon RMB-click' > Direct 3D > Settings > and check your Texture Preference and MipMap Detail Level settings. If it's like 'High Performance / Performance' you should try and change state of the both of pull-down menus to 'Quality' and accept changes. Check the CCC manual for the similar settings.Now your Pipboy (and the whole game) should start looking a way better, like this:
(note that Pip-Boy's look o both screenshots slightly changed by mod, non-critical for the above-mentioned problem)
Warning!: if the settings would be changed to 'High Performance' for both Preferences in result you could see something like the next screenshots.
Also note that performance boost caused by 'High Performance / Performance' setting for Fallout: New Vegas is rather negative.

Crashing, freezing and slowdowns[edit | edit source]
Crashes and freezes may happen occasionally to anyone. Crashes and freezes are only notable when they are repeatable (e.g. they happen under the same set of circumstances often). If the crash only occurs on one particular save, then the save itself is most likely the source of the problem. Please verify that crashes and freezes are repeatable on more than one save game before reporting.

I have also learned that when helping the powder gangers or agreeing to do the tutorial but not finishing the whole thing will lead to being left at permanent level one even IF you change races when it asks you if you would like to rebuild your character before you progress.

MiracleOfSound:
Yes, I've been experiencing this.
It's rather excruciating when you're in and around Vegas doing fetch quests.
Exactly. I'm trying to do stuff in Freeside which is basically all fetch quests from what I've seen, and it's driving me insane.
Argtee:
Hasn't happened to me.
Paragon Fury:
Yes, it happens after playing for a couple of hours. What I do to avoid it is to take a 3-10 minute break every 1.5 hours or so, and make sure to turn off my 360 for that time.
Taking a little bit of a break every once and a while might help.
So, yeah, I agree with ^this^ guy.
I don't mean playing constant. I mean overall game time goes up, loading times go up. I can turn my 360 off for the night then get back on the next day and the load times are still slow as hell.
Oh..
Well, do you know of anyone else who's having this problem, or something similar?
Other than the guy above, no.
Nighthief:
This is happening to me. Every load takes about 30 seconds.
30 seconds would be awesome at this point. It's probably like a minute and a half.
I have been playing fallout new vegas for about five days. I tried to load it again but it just gives me an infinite loading screen. my cousin said it was a corrupted file. My question is, is there a way to fix it?

Unless you're a binary editing guru, there is no way to fix a corrupted save. You will need to load an earlier save. If other saves display the same problem, roll back any changes you've done to your mods or try a fresh install without any mods.

I can tell you, from experience, how to recover your manual save (not your auto-save). This has happened to me several times on xbox 360. Not sure what platform you're on, but probably will work for any.
The setup process needs to be done by yourself, please don't spam us as we are constantly working to implement the latest patches and features. Our Solution is able to download the required game files automatically from the Blizzard Servers and modify them to be able to play offline. Our Offline Client was developed during the beta phase of D3 when we were able to sniff essential information from the Blizzard Server. Diablo 3 reaper of souls pc torrent. On release date we adapted last packages of gameplay data and by now you are able to play Diablo 3 Offline with our Client without a b.net registration nor game key. After six weeks of development and testing we are finally ready to publish it to the community.
The problem is with the auto-save. It gets corrupted and somehow affects your manual save's ability to load as well. So, you need to overwrite your auto-save.
To do this, start a new game and get to the point where the game writes its first auto-save; this is right after you wake up in the doc's house.
Then, load your manual save. You should be good to go.

There isn't much that can be done about the corrupted save. Just load from previous save, that usually worked for me.
I haven't figured it out 100% sure, but this seems to be related to Steam Cloud sync. To disable it, go to
Properties , select tab Updates and untick checkbox for Enable Steam Cloud synchronization for … .
Another possibility is that it happens when you're making a save while previous save is still being written to disk. Disabling auto-saves and relying only on manual saves could help.

Start a new game, then load your save game file. That worked for me.

Try loading your pervious save and THEN load your corrupted save (if autosave was corrupted then make sure you don't overwrite it). Worked with me.

This fix works on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. Following the instructions in the video and shutting off your autosaves will solve the problem, but it will happen again when the game autosaves even when you turn them off (Leaving Caesar's tent does this for example) but just delete the new autosave before the next loading screen and you'll be fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwdsH9B1um4&t=1s184.64.52.183 07:05, January 24, 2017 (UTC)
Sometimes, when trying to Continue or Load the game from the main menu, the game will begin loading, but stay loading 'forever' (slides will still change, and the roulette wheel will still spin, but the game will never actually load - tested up to 25 minutes). This is easily solved, just clear the cache on your Hard-Drive (Xbox 360) and it should then allow you to load.
This issue also affects the PC version of the game in Steam. It is unrelated to the size of the save file, and it does not seem to be caused by a 'corrupt save.' In the absence of a permanent solution, you can load from within the game.
Instead of selecting Continue or Load from the title screen, select New Game. Skip the cut scenes, and as soon as you are able open the game menu and load your saved game. NinjaPeanut
You can also try to remove some of your earlier savegames in the file itself. That worked for me.
One way I found to fix this problem was to make sure that my resolution in the display settings of the original menu screen is the correct resolution. After lots of testing around trying many things (unsuccessfully) to fix this problem I realized that the resolution had changed itself to lower than what it should be. After changing it back to normal the problem was fixed. (Anon)
Another thing that apparently causes the infinite loading screen is saving while being inside the textures, for instance when using 'tcl' console command. You will have to start a new game (as explained by NinjaPeanut above), load the problematic save, and arrange to return to a normal placement for your character. Saving and then exiting the game worked for me. Gaeryus
Try increasing your iPreloadSizeLimit in your FalloutNV.ini file to 52428800, which is double the original value. The file is located inyour DocumentsmygamesFalloutNv folder.
This seems to be a working fix for anyone having trouble loading.
I tried it as well, it does work. You may have to remove the original Fallout.ini, as it is read-only, and just copy the FalloutPref file and fill it with the original Fallout.ini contents. This is probably the only working save fix without breaking anything or telling you how to play.
For what it's worth, the 'forever' loading screens and the lag after fast travel/going from one game world to another seems to be directly related to the size of your currently saved game. For example, you can have all DLCs installed and have accomplished almost everything in the game and your save file could be around 12 to 14 Mbs. However when you start a new game, your saved game will be extremely lower than this, like around 900 Kbs. This is probably why in a new game you can play for awhile without any issues (except known bugs, like Nash not leave the Casino in Primm after you re-establish law there). Because of all the issues with this game, it might be wise to complete only 2 of the DLCs per playthrough to help keep the file size down. Again for what it's worth, hope this is helpful. --Kid Ego 22:17, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
Or your mods has some features bloating the save games. Better read carefully about each mods you want to use. i know at least one mod wih a feature like that, though the modder do comment carefully in-game whenever i use that aspect. second reason is that it's possible to have a hostile on your fast travel entry spot, so you can not ft there. It's not as pronounced on mojave (possible because of all the time testing and fixing) but I encountered it 1st time in Zion, then Big mt. Strangely, divide doesnt seem to have that bug.Laclongquan (talk) 07:56, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
some people suggest to 'check file integrity' if you have a steam install. be aware that it does not work and if you have mod instaled they will be broken and you will have to reinstall everything.
also, there is a similar bug introduced to TTW it is said that a hotfix was introduced there is hope to see a more permanent update-fix to resolve this issue.
i highly suggest to turn off all auto-save feature and to install the mod called : CASM. (only if you are on pc though) the fact is that the quality of that mod is higher that the built-in auto-save feature that bethesda team implemented. after over 100 hours of testing this, i found out that starting a game and playing over 100 hours with this mod on still keep your load time under 5-30 seconds [depending on the power of your computer] the page of this mod is there : http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36730/? and the download link is here : http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36730/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fnewvegas%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D36730&pUp=1
in adition, since this mod take almost no space (6 kb last time i looked) you do not need to create an acount to download it (even though you can create free acount)
also, if you know what 'mod' and 'CASM' mean, i asume you also know what 'archiveinvalidation' and 'FOMM' and 'bashed patch'/'merged patch' mean here is your soluce for not getting long load time because of savegame corruption. but a corrupt save game remain a corrupted file. this cannot be changed or fixed with the current humans civilisation technology. sorry about that.
as a side note, i personaly tryed all suggestion of other user's above me in various game variable , with and without mod , with non-legit game (only as test purpose though) and with legit game, with steam built game and with non-steam game, and with various load order and none of that stuf work.

My fix was due to data files that didn't load. I had to recheck them (and loose files for good measure) and then my continues and loads worked fine from then on.

Ccleaner not only pass the virustotal test, it also does it job well and is well know.
it seem you did remove your comment, but people who had contributed to this thread and where subscribed to it did receive an email with your comment anyway.
weird that the time of the comment indicate 2015. maybe there was a server-side error that sent outdated changelog email ?
