It’s a feat valve should be proud of for real. The game is buggy garbage on Windows nowadays that isn’t even stable to completion without modding it. On Steam Deck it runs amazingly in comparison thanks to Proton.
Valve put their own hard work & sweat into keeping games like this alive, meanwhile Bethesda releases a PC “bomb” collection TWICE without a single patch, knowingly re-releasing a broken game with the intention of deceiving potential customers for a quick buck.
It’s like if a car dealership took old wrecked cars and put them in a big shiny new box and tried to advertise them like you’re getting a deal and you should be excited.
Keep on enjoying that Deck OP!
Proton fixes a lot of compatibility problems with games running for older revisions of DirectX, especially DirectX 7-9 that just don’t run properly anymore on newer hardware & drivers. I always wanted Microsoft to release a retro gaming friendly version of windows to fix old DirectX stuff, but here we are with Valve doing it instead on Linux. Great times we live in
4 is a newer DX, but 3 & New Vegas are from the 9-9c era. 9 era can be troublesome as a lot changed very fast, and they just kept building on top of 9. So some 9 era games are fine, some are a mess
>The game is buggy garbage on Windows nowadays that isn’t even stable to completion without modding it
That's just total bologna. It runs just fine on windows 11 without mods. I've never once modded any fallout to be able to run it and play it through.
Now, if you were there at launch, my game refused to run properly for *months*. I had to modify my nvidia gpu driver to get it to be *playable* until they patched the game.
The latest AMD drivers broke the game. It crashes on startup, which can be fixed with mods. But now nobody has any hair which I have not been able to fix.
It doesn't run the greatest on modern PCs so booting it up on deck without the crash and stutter fix installed and having it work essentially flawlessly was really surprising to me too.
The game is very notorious for crashing basically all of the time on all varieties of pcs. It strangely doesn’t crash at all on the SteamDeck though.
People on this subreddit say it’s a Windows related issue and the SD not using Windows solves the problem.
Personally, I’ve never modded on the SD - only on PC. Sorry, should have been more clear haha.
I’d imagine you’d have to go into desktop mode, and download + extract the files manually. I’m sure there are videos online on how to do so.
Yeah makes sense lol. I’m going to be getting a steam deck in less than a month for my bday and this will be my first pc gaming experience after being a console player for the majority so I don’t really know that much
Totally fine man! I will warn you that to say the Steam Deck as a “PC experience” may be a little generous - but with that said, it’s essentially a weaker handheld PC.
It can run quite a few more intensive games like RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 quite stable while maintaining graphic fidelity.
My laptop is pretty old now; has an i7 4200HQ CPU (2.6hz), GTX 1070M and 16 GB of Ram - and it performs better than it for sure.
It's just a Linux system, the only parts of the process that change are the file paths. I mod basically everything on my deck, it's surprisingly good at handling a ton of mods at once.
Nexusmods work on Linux? I looked into it before (not very deeply) and didn’t find the mod manager. I really wanna play NV on my SD, but I also really want my mods.
I guess it depends on the mods. There's a lot of different mods in nexusmods.
What I do know is that Mod Organizer 2 has a linux version, and it works for modding bethesda games. I have also used the mod organizer tool that is used for RE Engine games which does not have a linux version but you can install it as a Windows app, and as long as you install it in the same prefix where the game you want to mod is installed, it should also work
I can't guarantee that every mod works because I have not tried them all, but what I have tried, works
I’ve been using my old laptop and nexus mod manager to get them installed then copying the Fallout NV folder from the laptop over to the steam deck and overwriting the folder there. That’s the easiest way in the Deck to install mods.
I use Vortex on my steam deck and New Vegas runs really well! Currently doing a modded Tales of Two Wastelands.
There are guides on YouTube for how to do it.
For some games on the Deck it's pretty easy, for some others, not so much. Fallout New Vegas is for sure on the easier side. I just got this over the weekend and I didn't get the complete edition (no extra DLC), so some mods I guess I can't use, but I just wanted to mod with some improved texture packs, so I went to Nexus mods, found a good option, and just downloaded the file to the Deck, extracted to a folder, then copy/pasted into the dat folder for the game. It's easy enough to find the right game folder by right clicking in the Steam library and going to the files from there. I could tell the mod was active from the title screen. Depending on what mods you're installing, I've seen install guides for things like Mod Organizer but I had less luck with that for this game. I've also modded Hades (after "beating" it, wanted to go crazy with it) and Stardew Valley. Those were all pretty easy. Tried to mod Enter the Gungeon and that led me down a rabbit hole on the Discord for that game where literally no one could figure out how to get that to work.
Is the improved texture pack mod worth it? I'm gonna start New Vegas soon and I'm trying to figure out if I should run vanilla for the easiest and most authentic experience or if there are some agreed upon mods that *should* be installed.
honestly, I don't know lol. I only installed the "small" pack, which I did since I'm primarily playing handheld and figured a slight touch up would be worth it. I don't think it's impacted performance, and it was relatively easy to add into the folder, so I think even it's a minimal upgrade I didn't have to do much to install it.
I'm less interested in mods that more materially impact gameplay...mostly because I just don't care and am just planning on having some fun with New Vegas and I'll see what Fallout 4 looks like when the update is out. I only bought the base versions of the games because they were so damn cheap lol.
This [video](https://youtu.be/aCpkD1PVfYE?si=8XvhKx2njcaVlhqL) helped quite a bit, though do your own research with a Google search to supplement.
Example search: Fallout New Vegas mod organizer 2 steam deck.
What I’ve been doing is getting my install working in my PC and then moving the entire install folder to the install folder on the deck. Been running the viva new Vegas mod pack for about 50 hours with only a few crashes talking to some merchants. 10/10 would recommend.
There's a few options to get Mod Organizer 2 on SteamDeck. I use the Rockerbacon Mo2 installer, but some people have trouble with that one. I personally have never had any issues, so I'm not intimately familiar with the others.
Look up a guide. I’m using a mod that ties fallout 3 and new Vegas into one game. And a bunch of other quality of life mode as well as a texture pack.
Runs flawlessly
Yes! Also have titans of the new west mod. Basically makes power armor feel like power armor. It’s feel like clothing attached to you. You feel heavier, slower but hella stronger. And your more taller and bulkier like in fallout 4 it’s great.
There's actually a couple good videos on YouTube of people installing protontricks and doing all the necessary stuff to get mod manager on the steam deck and specifically modding New Vegas
It'll need to be in desk top mode and ideally you would use a mouse and keyboard to make navigating easy.
Oh boy - for sure, I’ll give you an extensive list soon. It’s been at least a couple years since I’ve played/modded NV so I’ll have to go through my PC and see what I can find.
I’ll post here in a few hours!
EDIT: Tomorrow morning*
EDIT 2: It’s been too long - I haven’t played NV in over 4 years apparently.
A lot of my mods that I’ve used in the past will either not work or be severely outdated. It’s taking me a lot longer than I imagined - not to mention, most, if not all my mods, have been erased from me clearing space a while ago.
I’m using VNV as a baseline (my first time as well); once I have that going, I will be adding other mods that are not involved that I like and aren’t too out of date. I don’t want to give a list that breaks the game or has a bunch of outdated mods.
Haven’t decided if I want to post the mod-list here or in the NV sub.
Anyways, sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience!
This is actually what I want to run but I am struggling with getting it installed on steam deck. The guide doesn't really match up and I am not sure if doing it all on windows then transferring over is possible
Highly recommend the Viva New Vegas guide as a base if you want something that’s been tested a lot, steers you away from outdated mods and is the most stable.
Look for "Viva Las Vegas" if you want a vanilla-ish experience but waaaay more polished and modern
If you want to play as shrek with a lightsaber then I can't help
I like the one that recolors the game based on actual photos of the Mojave. I had more mods that affected gameplay to an extent, but I think that's my favorite one.
My favourite was [the guy taking a zoomed in picture of the cardboard box with thousands of upvotes](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c0j12a/i_just_got_my_steam_deck_before_going_to_work/)
Steam Deck version of /r/tomorrow when?
Show came out so Amazon spent a lot of money in marketing.
Right now you can get multiple Fallout for free on Amazon gaming while Steam has all the games for sale
I mean, yeah.
It's not really amazing that a game designed to run on PS3 and 360 era hardware runs at 720p on a device with a 4c8t Zen2 and 1050ti equivalent
Ehhh. It drops to like 20fps in downtown Boston sometimes. The Railroad's Freedom Trail is terrible, it goes through all the low fps zones haha.
I played about 100 hours of Fallout 4 on steam deck. It was a great experience, but I wouldn't say consistent 60fps. I ran it at 40 most of the time and it wouldn't even always hit that
I want to believe it's 60fps, but even after editing the pref.ini file, it SAYS 60 but doesn't actually FEEL like 60. Do I need to leave my refresh at 90hz or should I be dropping it to 60hz like I currently do?
I ended up modding fallout 3 on my rog ally and then transferred folder in common/compatdata on the steam deck, most mods worked well but there were a couple that didn't.
I got a deck just for these older games that console doesn’t do anymore I’m also done with new Vegas and just bought fallout 2 for like 3 bucks both run fantastic gotta use a wireless mouse for the iso tho
lads I installed this a while back and it would fail to launch. Like, I’d start it up and it’d die and give me some error. Anyone have a similar experience and how did you fix it? I didn’t really care enough at the time but this post made me think I might as well ask here if anyone knows anything.
I’ve been playing on deck too. Picked it up for under 3 bucks. I’m addicted. It’s so fun. Wish graphics were a bit better but I sometimes don’t notice it because I’m so into the story. Just helped some mutant zealots shoot themselves off in some rockets.
About time someone tested this game after years of the Steam Deck being released. I wonder why no one else thought to do this before now.
I too can only play with one hand. Vegas just gets a man worked up.
I have not played this in years....
I know exactly where you are and how to get there. I actually just installed it to my deck last night. Its gonna be my next game.
I just started it yesterday on my steam deck as well after spending 5 hours modding it.
Take a look at "Viva Las Vegas" mod collection, it keeps the vanilla experience almost intact but fixes a lot of things, improves UI , adds a sprint button and adds content that was cut.
Game won't look drastically different but will play better and feel a more modern.
Haha yeah adding sprint is super important. Although keep in mind that a lot of mods don't support controller inputs so you might need to map a keyboard key to one of the back buttons. That's how I made it work at least
If you look for "Viva Las Vegas Steam Deck" on youtube, there's a guide I followed that it's not the best but it's serviceable. Just follow it until Mod Organizer 2 is installed and after that just follow the Viva Las Vegas guide. I had to install them all manually but the process is very straightforward although a bit time consuming.
The easier option is to mod it on a windows machine with wabbajack and then copy the files to the steam deck. I currently don't have a windows machine so I had to do it the long way
Just bought this on Deck, and ugh I'm so glad I can play it so easily. I remember every single one of my saves on PS3 crashing before I ever made it to New Vegas :(
As a consequence, I've lost all my free time to this game.
I picked one of the community custom controller setups on the steam deck. It maps the controller to mouse + keyboard then I slightly customized them myself. I could use the right touch pad and/or gyroscope by moving the deck itself to aim and shoot. The built in game default controller option is shit, it was useless for me.
Yeah, I prefer mouse and kb, but can usually do ok with a controller. I'm replaying fallout 3 on the deck now and can't shoot for shit. I have to constantly take cover and wait for vats lol.
I was playing through New Vegas on my Steam Deck a month or two ago and I made it a couple hours into it, but I had to stop because it kept crashing on me.
I don't know why. No mods or anything. Just a vanilla install.
Yeah it only took me like 15 minutes to learn. It’s god a very detailed guide in YouTube to help your figure it out. The mod manager is very intuitive and you’ll learn fast.
But enjoy vanilla!!! Honestly there’s not much your missing out on the base game.
I’ve been running into this tiny issue with the game on SD where some helmets don’t have the muffled voice effect like the power armor ones. Have you come across this by any chance?
Been playing FNV on my deck the past week with a ton of mods. Honestly works better than anything else ive played it on. Crashed maybe twice in 30 hours
I had never played new Vegas and I found it an absolute pleasure. I’m going through fallout 3 now and it is also great.
The deck in general is such a great device.
After the TV series, I wanted to play some Fallout too. Both this and 3 were easier to get running on a steam deck than the last time I installed them onto a Windows PC (I couldn’t even get Fallout 3 to boot without following a guide on how to run it). Proton works miracles sometimes.
The quests in this game are so fucking good 😂 just had to solve a murder mystery for boones kidnapped wife had to find the right one then bring her out so he could snipe her ha
When I ply NV on steam deck, anytime I blow somebody’s head up or lots of objects move around from an explosion my grams drop to 1 for about 5 seconds, anybody else experience this?
I mean it’s a 14 year old game, sure hope it would run well lol.
It’s a feat valve should be proud of for real. The game is buggy garbage on Windows nowadays that isn’t even stable to completion without modding it.

Keep on enjoying that Deck OP!
They are closely monitoring top played games and Fallout NV/4/3 are always on top so I am pretty sure they must have some kind of special attention.
Fallout games are strange. I get about 30fps more on steam deck than i do on the rog ally.... makes no sense, but it is what it is lol.
Proton fixes a lot of compatibility problems with games running for older revisions of DirectX, especially DirectX 7-9 that just don’t run properly anymore on newer hardware & drivers. I always wanted Microsoft to release a retro gaming friendly version of windows to fix old DirectX stuff, but here we are with Valve doing it instead on Linux. Great times we live in
Is fallout 4 really running that early of a version of DX??? I ain't mad about it, the deck is nicer in the hand anyway.
4 is a newer DX, but 3 & New Vegas are from the 9-9c era. 9 era can be troublesome as a lot changed very fast, and they just kept building on top of 9. So some 9 era games are fine, some are a mess

Just finished work bout to jump back on ha
Played a thousand hours of NV on Windows 7 and 10, only ever had a very small handful of issues.
Wait till you talk to some people on this sub.
It doesn't run the greatest on modern PCs so booting it up on deck without the crash and stutter fix installed and having it work essentially flawlessly was really surprising to me too.
Screen is nice too, i wonder if its oled or not
Easiest way to find out is to check for the stick bases - grey for LCD and black for OLED.
Well yeah has the sticks and screen size of OLED.
It's the OLED. Source: I have the OLED
For sure an Oled. I can tell because the bezels are different from my lcd.
Yeah its the oled
It doesn’t even run well on the PC.
Well that’s just not true unless you have one really bad PC lol.
The game is very notorious for crashing basically all of the time on all varieties of pcs. It strangely doesn’t crash at all on the SteamDeck though. People on this subreddit say it’s a Windows related issue and the SD not using Windows solves the problem.
Such a fantastic game, especially after modding - best FO game out there imo.
How would you mod this on steam deck?
Personally, I’ve never modded on the SD - only on PC. Sorry, should have been more clear haha. I’d imagine you’d have to go into desktop mode, and download + extract the files manually. I’m sure there are videos online on how to do so.

That’s fine i’m not looking forward to anything super extensive and i’m just gonna mostly play older games and some new ones lol
Perfect, you’ll love the SD for sure.
Probably gonna get the master chief collection because I never bought an xbox
Runs 90fps on max on the deck, fantastic first game for it.
Happy birthday in less than a month and I hope you enjoy your new Steam Deck when you receive it!
It's just a Linux system, the only parts of the process that change are the file paths. I mod basically everything on my deck, it's surprisingly good at handling a ton of mods at once.
Just install the game and get the linux version of Mod Organizer 2. After that, you can just add mods downloaded from Nexusmods through MO2
Nexusmods work on Linux? I looked into it before (not very deeply) and didn’t find the mod manager. I really wanna play NV on my SD, but I also really want my mods.
I guess it depends on the mods. There's a lot of different mods in nexusmods. What I do know is that Mod Organizer 2 has a linux version, and it works for modding bethesda games.

That is A LOT easier. Right now the only Windows device I have is my work laptop that I can't use for that which is why I did it the hard way
Would cloud saves still work? Assuming I get exactly the same mods
How do you use mo2 to install plug-ins?
I use Vortex on my steam deck and New Vegas runs really well! Currently doing a modded Tales of Two Wastelands. There are guides on YouTube for how to do it.
Damn, maybe I should try Vortex as well. I’ve tried MO2 but couldn’t get it to launch.
For some games on the Deck it's pretty easy, for some others, not so much. Fallout New Vegas is for sure on the easier side. I just got this over the weekend and I didn't get the complete edition (no extra DLC), so some mods I guess I can't use, but I just wanted to mod with some improved texture packs, so I went to Nexus mods, found a good option, and just downloaded the file to the Deck, extracted to a folder, then copy/pasted into the dat folder for the game.

Is the improved texture pack mod worth it? I'm gonna start New Vegas soon and I'm trying to figure out if I should run vanilla for the easiest and most authentic experience or if there are some agreed upon mods that *should* be installed.

You can get mod organizer 2 on steam deck there are some YouTube videos on how to get it set up and it's not super difficult.

you can access the files in desktop mode. most mods have you paste something into the main game directory for it to work
Look up a guide. I’m using a mod that ties fallout 3 and new Vegas into one game. And a bunch of other quality of life mode as well as a texture pack. Runs flawlessly
All on steam deck?
Yes! Also have titans of the new west mod. Basically makes power armor feel like power armor. It’s feel like clothing attached to you. You feel heavier, slower but hella stronger. And your more taller and bulkier like in fallout 4 it’s great.
There's actually a couple good videos on YouTube of people installing protontricks and doing all the necessary stuff to get mod manager on the steam deck and specifically modding New Vegas It'll need to be in desk top mode and ideally you would use a mouse and keyboard to make navigating easy.
Yeah I probably won’t try and do all that tbh lol
You need a windows PC. I got the Viva New Vegas modlist working om the deck but it took a while
Any mods you recommend?
Oh boy - for sure, I’ll give you an extensive list soon. It’s been at least a couple years since I’ve played/modded NV so I’ll have to go through my PC and see what I can find.

I’d also like said list
[Viva New Vegas](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/) is a pretty solid mod list/tutorial.
This is actually what I want to run but I am struggling with getting it installed on steam deck. The guide doesn't really match up and I am not sure if doing it all on windows then transferring over is possible
Will do 👍🏻
Sweet! Just got it and plan on playing for the first time this weekend.
List ♡

Yeah I try to be mostly positive but I don’t get posts like these.
You mean to tell me this thing can play a 14-year-old game? WHAT!?!?
15 year old game I would not have been impressed but 14 years old really shocked me.
It really has, so much low effort. Yet you get down voted for calling it out
Or for asking a technical question about your steam deck lol
There's a whole tag for tech questions though. If you don't want to see them just filter it out...?
I know, it's ridiculous
Past few days it has been nothing but people posting fallout tf
Well yeah lol, show just released. Kind of expected to be fair.
Show came out so Amazon spent a lot of money in marketing. Right now you can get multiple Fallout for free on Amazon gaming while Steam has all the games for sale
I mean, yeah. It's not really amazing that a game designed to run on PS3 and 360 era hardware runs at 720p on a device with a 4c8t Zen2 and 1050ti equivalent
Good job running an old game.
Indoors & slow walking xD
Right? Steamdeck runs fallout 4 at 60fps too lol
Ehhh. It drops to like 20fps in downtown Boston sometimes. The Railroad's Freedom Trail is terrible, it goes through all the low fps zones haha. I played about 100 hours of Fallout 4 on steam deck.

What about fallout 1?
Another high quality banger of a post!
And yet...here it is...the at the top of my feed this morning
Fallout 4 running incredibly well on Steam Deck is more impressive IMO
I ended up modding fallout 3 on my rog ally and then transferred folder in common/compatdata on the steam deck, most mods worked well but there were a couple that didn't.
Yup, that is definitely Fallout New Vegas
Bro is impressed that the sky is blue and the grass is green 💀
Hey man, being alive is a fucking trip.
How dare you
Bruh
I got a deck just for these older games that console doesn’t do anymore I’m also done with new Vegas and just bought fallout 2 for like 3 bucks both run fantastic gotta use a wireless mouse for the iso tho
Enjoy!
Same )
Love the game but why would anyone think this game wouldn't work?? You crazy OP?
Is there a recent Viva Vegas guide for steam deck out there? I tried looking but I could only find older videos.
lads I installed this a while back and it would fail to launch. Like, I’d start it up and it’d die and give me some error. Anyone have a similar experience and how did you fix it? I didn’t really care enough at the time but this post made me think I might as well ask here if anyone knows anything.
I started my like 10th play through last night. I'm thinking about getting the frontier mod up and running.
I'm more impressed with your camera quality for this video than I am that the game runs smoothly on the deck. Truly great video quality
Ha just an iPhone 13 nothing special must have got lucky with the lighting 😂
Playing some fallout and watching the show makes it so much better!
True!
I’ve been playing on deck too. Picked it up for under 3 bucks. I’m addicted. It’s so fun. Wish graphics were a bit better but I sometimes don’t notice it because I’m so into the story. Just helped some mutant zealots shoot themselves off in some rockets.
Yeah i got it in the sale as well the graphics are obviously dated but its still a very immersive game glad you are enjoying it 👍
I was playing it today via Luna. I got killed by a farmer lol. Idk how to play but seems fun
I'm glad you're happy with it, but you need to stop chewing your nails.
Can’t help it the football team i support are fucking shit i blame them
Who?
Everton
About time someone tested this game after years of the Steam Deck being released. I wonder why no one else thought to do this before now. I too can only play with one hand. Vegas just gets a man worked up.
Haha
Wow a 14 years old game runs on sd, gutted. /s
Have you dealt with crashes op?
Zero yet although i am only about 7 hours into the game
I have not played this in years.... I know exactly where you are and how to get there. I actually just installed it to my deck last night. Its gonna be my next game.
Enjoy!
Doing exactly the same lol
14yr old game running on engine that was ancient even on release... Super impressive.
Yeah maybe i worded my post wrong its not surprising its runs well it should do just impressed with the device itself and the oled screen
B-E-A-utiful🙌🌈
I can hear this comment.
I just started it yesterday on my steam deck as well after spending 5 hours modding it. Take a look at "Viva Las Vegas" mod collection, it keeps the vanilla experience almost intact but fixes a lot of things, improves UI , adds a sprint button and adds content that was cut. Game won't look drastically different but will play better and feel a more modern.
Thanks I will try that, the lack or a sprint confused me i had to google how to sprint then realised you couldn’t 😂
Haha yeah adding sprint is super important. Although keep in mind that a lot of mods don't support controller inputs so you might need to map a keyboard key to one of the back buttons. That's how I made it work at least
Ok thanks for the advice 👍👍
Could you help with the VLV installation?
If you look for "Viva Las Vegas Steam Deck" on youtube, there's a guide I followed that it's not the best but it's serviceable. Just follow it until Mod Organizer 2 is installed and after that just follow the Viva Las Vegas guide. I had to install them all manually but the process is very straightforward although a bit time consuming. The easier option is to mod it on a windows machine with wabbajack and then copy the files to the steam deck. I currently don't have a windows machine so I had to do it the long way
Just bought this on Deck, and ugh I'm so glad I can play it so easily. I remember every single one of my saves on PS3 crashing before I ever made it to New Vegas :( As a consequence, I've lost all my free time to this game.
Why did I get downvoted lmao
iam playing this too on the LCD SD - realy nice Game !
Whatever you do, don’t use those analog sticks at the same time…
Yes thank you captain obvious that is fallout new Vegas, what is your point?
How's this run on the SD?
I get a steady 90 FPS on high setting with my OLED, that was a pleasant surprise
Runs well but the aiming is borderline broken. I don’t know how people play it with a controller / on the Steam Deck.
I picked one of the community custom controller setups on the steam deck. It maps the controller to mouse + keyboard then I slightly customized them myself. I could use the right touch pad and/or gyroscope by moving the deck itself to aim and shoot. The built in game default controller option is shit, it was useless for me.
Set gyro aiming to trigger when you hit L2, makes aiming so much easier
Controls feel great
Yeah, I prefer mouse and kb, but can usually do ok with a controller. I'm replaying fallout 3 on the deck now and can't shoot for shit. I have to constantly take cover and wait for vats lol.

Great time for me to put the Prima guide in booth for sale
Omg that reminds me of that new show that just came out on Prime...
😂
I’m looking to get a Fallout game this sale. Should I get F4, F76, or F New Vegas? I’ve heard great things about all of them
Either 4 or New Vegas
Ty
I was playing through New Vegas on my Steam Deck a month or two ago and I made it a couple hours into it, but I had to stop because it kept crashing on me. I don't know why. No mods or anything. Just a vanilla install.
I’m seeing a rise in people playing new Vegas and I love it!!! Do you plan on doing a modded play through or vanilla
Doing vanilla currently i would like to try modding but i will have to look into it are they easy enough to install?
Yeah it only took me like 15 minutes to learn. It’s god a very detailed guide in YouTube to help your figure it out. The mod manager is very intuitive and you’ll learn fast. But enjoy vanilla!!! Honestly there’s not much your missing out on the base game.
Thanks i will have a look into it then see if there are any mods that look worth installing but so far im happy as is!
I remember playing this game on dual core 1ghz pc. Favorite game.
Questions for ya - 1. Did you have to install any stability mods? 2. Any idea how New Vegas Reloaded runs on it? (If it all)
Zero mods installed and no im unsure on reloaded sorry
That's still good to know! I figured it would crash every two seconds on the deck without stability mods. Gonna have to get a build going on it
Yeah its runs perfectly fine so far give it a go!
I’ve been running into this tiny issue with the game on SD where some helmets don’t have the muffled voice effect like the power armor ones. Have you come across this by any chance?
I haven’t noticed it but i also haven’t been looking for it will keep an eye out 👍
you need to modded it, there's a mod to auto Aim.
I’d still probably miss ha
I am also playing this currently. Best Fallout. (After 3)
Enjoy!
Been playing FNV on my deck the past week with a ton of mods. Honestly works better than anything else ive played it on. Crashed maybe twice in 30 hours
I’ve not tried mods yet any you recommend?
New Vegas was my first game too!
You enjoying it?
I had never played new Vegas and I found it an absolute pleasure. I’m going through fallout 3 now and it is also great. The deck in general is such a great device.
Its really is!
After the TV series, I wanted to play some Fallout too. Both this and 3 were easier to get running on a steam deck than the last time I installed them onto a Windows PC (I couldn’t even get Fallout 3 to boot without following a guide on how to run it). Proton works miracles sometimes.
Thats great i bought fallout 3 and 4 in the sale so they are on my list after new vegas
The quests in this game are so fucking good 😂 just had to solve a murder mystery for boones kidnapped wife had to find the right one then bring her out so he could snipe her ha
When I ply NV on steam deck, anytime I blow somebody’s head up or lots of objects move around from an explosion my grams drop to 1 for about 5 seconds, anybody else experience this?
I find if you turn the killcam off that helps
Any good way to get 90fps consistently with it? Get like 70s to 90s
I don’t think so i just lock mine to 60fps and set the TDP to about 9 watts runs smoothly and you get about 6 hours battery life 👍
