Short answer: No.

You cannot use an existing Fallout: New Vegas save to play Viva New Vegas. Even though a save might load, there are too many changes for it to work correctly. No support is provided if you do this anyway.

We cannot provide support for Linux as we don't use it, therefore we cannot troubleshoot issues specific to it.

Assuming you already know your way around Linux, here's some information that might help you:

• Use Proton (for Steam) or Wine TKG or Wine-Bottles fork & Lutris (for non-Steam).
• You need Gstreamer codec suite for the game music to play.
• Direct the game so it uses a portable MO2 instance (installed in the game prefix, made by either Steam or Lutris).
• Stock Wine won't work, since stock Wine has issues with the bundled FOMOD installer.
• Install Nvidia drivers if you have an Nvidia GPU.

Piracy is not supported in any way, shape, or form. Any proof that you're using a pirated copy or piracy-related talk will lead to a ban from the ModdingLinked Discord server.

We will not provide any support for NVMP, redirect all questions to their server.

You may have noticed that when playing the game through MO2, your save files will not appear in the Documents folder like normal. This is because the guide (and Wabbajack) makes use of profile-specific saves, a feature that redirects them to the profile folder of your instance. You can access all of them quickly by selecting the Saves tab of MO2 on the right pane.

This could happen for various reasons:

• Make sure the latest VC++ Redistributables are installed:
  • VC++ AIO
    1. Extract the archive and run the included install_all.bat as an administrator.
  • 2015-2022 X64
  • 2015-2022 X86
  • Restart your PC.
• Make sure that DirectX Redistributables are installed and functional:
  1. Download the DirectX Redists Remover Script and unpack it.
  2. Run the script as an administrator.
  3. Restart your PC.
  4. Download the DirectX Redists Web Installer and run it.

  The installer will try to install Bing Bar by default!
  Remember to uncheck it on the second page.

  5. Restart your PC.
• Base Address Randomization is enabled. This has to be disabled for a modded game to work, you can do so by following these steps.
• The 4GB Patcher or the Epic Games Patcher weren't run. Follow the steps in the guide. If you are using Wabbajack, follow these steps instead.
• xNVSE is not installed correctly or at all, make sure that you have all of the utilities. If you are using Wabbajack, follow these steps instead.
• You have incompatible mods lingering in your game's Data folder, this is why a clean slate is required.
• If you are using an AMD GPU, make sure that your drivers are updated to the latest version or that you are using DXVK according to the Performance Guide.
• If you are using a third-party antivirus, add exclusions to the folder Mod Organizer 2 is in. If that doesn't work, try disabling the antivirus completely and rely solely on Windows Defender (which should work fine once exclusions are present).
• Close or uninstall Overwolf.
• Most programs that ship with pre-built computers or laptops (such as OMEN Gaming Hub for HP OMEN systems) will be prone to issues and should be uninstalled or temporarily closed.
• Lock your FPS below 120 according to the Performance Guide.
• Update your graphics driver (either NVIDIA, AMD or Intel).

This is caused by SMainMenuMovieIntro in your Fallout.ini being set to 0 instead of having to value at all. This is a known issue with Bethini, which has no utility once you are using the guide's Custom INI.

Verify your game files.

You will need to re-run the BSA Decompressor and 4GB Patcher after doing this.

As MO2 is the only supported manager, instructions for other managers will not be provided:

1. Click the folders list in the top of MO2.
2. Click Open Profile Folder.
3. The modlist will be written in modlist.txt (written in reverse order but you can reverse this easily with text editors) and the load order is in loadorder.txt.

MO2 requires that you run most tools, including GECK, through its list of executables. This allows the programs to be run with VFS, loading all the mods alongside it.

Launch the game once, then restart the MO2 installer and try again.

Click the button at the top of MO2 and select INI Editor.

Clear the contents of both Fallout.ini and FalloutPrefs.ini, making sure to save both.

Run the game's launcher through MO2 and you'll have new INIs.

Verifying game files will revert the BSA decompression and the executable patch. You can solve this by re-running the correct patcher based on your game version, then re-running the BSA Decompressor.

This is just a case of mods logging that they are not meant for the GECK if made for the game, or the other way around. Can be safely ignored.

• 5:0000065434: Make sure Steam is running. If that doesn't fix it, run your game directly through Steam once. You may also need to restart Steam and/or Mod Organizer 2. If that still doesn't work, place a copy of your Steam.exe (not a shortcut) into the game's Root folder.
• P:0000065432: This might be related to the PCR release of the game. Override the Steamapp ID with MO2's executable settings and set it to 22490.

This is safe and intentional as long as your mods in the left pane of MO2 are in the exact order as they appear in the guide.

If restarting your PC doesn't work, try this:

1. Download the DirectX Redists Remover Script and unpack it.
2. Run the script as an administrator.
3. Restart your PC.
4. Download the DirectX Redists Web Installer and run it.

The installer will try to install Bing Bar by default!
Remember to uncheck it on the second page.

5. Restart your PC again.

Lock your FPS below 120 according to the Performance Guide.

Disable Improved Lighting Shaders in your Mod Organizer 2 modlist by unchecking its box. This issue seems to be hardware related but we do not know the specific cause at the moment.

Make sure the latest VC++ Redistributables are installed:

• VC++ AIO
  1. Extract the archive and run the included install_all.bat as an administrator.
• 2015-2022 X64
• 2015-2022 X86
• Restart your PC.

This is due to using the NVTF texture modding preset, which requires DXVK in order to keep a functional Alt-Tab. Read the Performance Guide for more information and the steps to solve this.

1. Click the button at the top of MO2 to open the settings.
2. Go to the Nexus tab, then click Associate with "Download with manager" links.

• You are using the Epic Games Store version of the game, which is not supported by this Wabbajack list.
• Ensure you have a clean install of the game with all DLCs, including the pre-order packs.
• Set the game to English - other languages are not supported.
• If all that doesn't work, click the settings cog in the top right of Wabbajack, log out of Nexus then log in again and restart the installation process.

1. Move Vanilla UI Plus below the MCM and its hotfix (MCM BugFix 2) in the left pane of MO2.
2. Make sure that you have applied the guide's load order.

1. Click the button at the top of MO2 and select INI Editor.
2. Select the FalloutCustom.ini tab, which should already have all the guide's settings if you followed the Custom INI steps.
3. Edit the 3 FOV settings to your liking, then save.

No, but you can generate vastly more detailed LOD (at a performance cost) by following the LOD guide. If you are using a Viva New Vegas Extended list with no changes, you can skip a large chunk of the LOD regeneration process by using the VNV Pre-Generated LOD (the resources listed in the LOD guide are still required).

All the INI changes you'll need for stability and performance are already in the guide's Custom INI.
If you find some other settings you wish to tweak, add it to FalloutCustom.ini through MO2's INI Editor ( on the top of MO2).

Ultimate Edition ESM Fixes already does this (far more than what automated xEdit cleaning would do).

Yes, but you'll have to take extra steps for it to work:

1. Click the button at the top of MO2 and select INI Editor.
2. Select the FalloutPrefs.ini tab.
3. Change the following settings in the Display section:
   iSize W = your screen width
   iSize H = your screen height
4. Start the game then open the Tweaks menu in the settings.
5. Filter for Ultrawide then enable the support tweak.

Leveled DLC Delay delays DLC until you meet the required level or visit the respective location. Lone Star also moves the pre-order pack items to the following locations:

• Tribal Pack: Lucky Jim Mine House
• Caravan Pack: Hell's Motel
• Classic Pack: Wrecked Highwayman
• Mercenary Pack: Bradley's Shack
