NVSR (4.1.36) + NVSE (5.1 Beta 4) + NVAC (7.5.1.0) + FNV4GB (1.4) - 2020 Update

Hello everyone! Meet the updated collection of plugins for a proper and stable gameplay experience in Fallout: New Vegas. I added a new, much-needed plugin, updated the old ones, and dug up a setup guide. Now it is guaranteed to work on any game version (clean, without modifications) and on any system, up to Windows 10 and Linux. A big thank you to the author dogstazzzy for the installation and setup guide. Let's go!

NEW VEGAS STUTTER REMOVER

Author: SkyRanger-1

Last Version Release Date: May 25, 2014

Version: 4.1.36

Description:

This plugin optimizes the game engine and New Vegas Script Extender. It eliminates "stutters," increases FPS, and prevents crashes and freezes in the game.

Installation:

1. Copy the contents of the "NVSR — Fallout New Vegas Stutter Remover" folder from the archive to the game folder.

2. If you have an Intel Core i3, i5, i7, i9, or AMD Ryzen processor, go to the folder "INI files NVSR for Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors" and select the folder corresponding to your processor series, then place one file in the path "Game Folder > Data > NVSE > Plugins". If not, skip this step.

3. In the file "sr_New_Vegas_Stutter_Remover.ini," find the value "bReplaceHeap," which should be set to "0," change it to "1." Next, find the "Heap" section in this file (CTRL + F and search for iHeapAlgorithm). Everything should be set as follows:

iHeapAlgorithm = 6

bEnableProfiling = 0

iHeapSize = 450

bEnableMessages = 0

bZeroAllocations = 0

NEW VEGAS SCRIPT EXTENDER

Author: NVSE Team

Last Version Release Date: March 31, 2020

Version: 5.1 Beta 4

Description:

This utility expands the capabilities of the scripting system in Fallout: New Vegas, which is used by most of the mods available today that contain scripts.

Installation:

1. Copy the contents of the "NVSE — Fallout New Vegas Script Extender" folder from the archive to the game folder where the .exe files are located.

2. Open the "Data" folder in the game folder, then open the "NVSE" folder. Create a file named "nvse_config.ini" and write the following:

[Memory]

DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=496

scrapheapsizeMB=128

3. Launch the game through the "nvse_loader.exe" application, regardless of whether you have mods, plugins, and fixes installed; they will still work.

NEW VEGAS ANTI-CRASH

Author: Queue

Last Version Release Date: October 28, 2016

Version: 7.5.1.0

Description:

This plugin significantly (almost to zero) reduces game crashes and also fixes the issue with minimizing and maximizing the game.

Installation:

1. Copy the contents of the "NVAC — Fallout New Vegas Anti-Crash" folder from the archive to the "Game Folder\Data".

NEW VEGAS 4GB PATCHER

Author: Roy Batty — LuthienAnarion

Last Version Release Date: November 5, 2018

Version: 1.4

Description:

This plugin removes the RAM usage limit for Fallout: New Vegas and allows the game to use more than 4 gigabytes.

Installation:

1. Copy the contents of the "FNV4GB — New Vegas 4GB Patch" folder from the archive to the game folder.

2. Launch the game only through the "fnv4gb.exe" application.

Final Setup

1. Find the file "Fallout.ini" in your documents (My Games > FalloutNV) and open it with any text editor.

2. Next, press CTRL+F and search for the line "bUseThreadedAI." By default, the value is set to 0, so change it to 1.

3. After the modified parameter, insert "iNumHWThreads=X" below, replacing X with your processor core count. In my case — 6.

4. Look for the lines "bPreemptivelyUnloadCells=0" and "bSelectivePurgeUnusedOnFastTravel=0." In all cases, change the value to 1.

5. Also, perform the same actions with the file "Fallout_default.ini," which is located in the game folder, to avoid editing the main ini file by the game.

P.S.: These plugins will not work with the "Zan's AutoPurge Crash Protector" plugin. If installed, please remove it.

Thank you all for using my guide! If you have questions, I am always open for discussions. If new versions of the plugins come out, feel free to contact me anywhere, and I will update them with pleasure. Wishing everyone comfortable and enjoyable survival in the Wasteland of New Vegas!
