For me, the FONV was unplayable. No matter what I did the game would crash so often I couldn't get anything done. I think the longest I was able to play in one sitting was like two hours. I tried every stability mod I could find but nothing solved the issue permanently.

That may be your config. I never had issues like these.

Same here, finished without crashes. My computer is modest so I had medium to low settings.

Not sure why they're voting you down for your own experience, but that's unfortunate. It's a fantastic game, and probably the best fallout. Sorry you didn't get a proper chance to enjoy it.

Sorry to hear that :c my experience has been pretty stable, I use New Vegas Anti-Crash and some unofficial patches, I can share my mod list if you wanna give it a try

NVAC isn't recommended anymore, because it lets the game continue even if it encounters a normally fatal error which can permanently fuck up your save. The errors will accumulate until the game can no longer function. As long as you follow the Viva New Vegas modding guide, you should no longer run into crashes unless you heavily mod it further.

oh yeah, New Vegas on launch was awful with the instability, even the first several patches didnt really seem to help anything. But the story was so good that we kept trying.. and learned to mash F5 every 30 seconds.
