Okay, so I can get the launcher to come up, but whenever I press play, it realaunches the launcher instead of launching the actual game. I've installed DirectX,, I tried running in compatibility mode, I've reinstalled multiple times, nothing seems to work.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Have you tried clicking on the actual exe file (not the launcher)?

I don't know if NV has one separate or it's all inbuilt into the launcher...

Yes, I've gone into the Fallout folder and opened both FalloutNV.exe and FalloutNVLauncher.exe. Both bring up the launcher, which I think might be my problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I don't know the legal rules, but is using a No-CDCrack allowed when you have purchased the original game and this sort of problem is present?

Would that help? Do I just have a bad installation disc or something?

Your profile pic is soooooo cute.... Well, it would be worth a try.... I'm guessing your exe file is corrupted or something, so there is no harm. Of course, only legal I believe if you own the game...

I solved this problem by setting both the launcher and the main game exe to run in compatibility mode and as administrator. Have you tried that? EDIT: Also verify the game file cache, just to make sure,

I just tried setting both in compatibility mode and as an administrator, still didn't work :/ How do I verify the game file cache?

In the Steam library, right-click and pick Properties. On the Local Files tab, there's a button to "verify integrity of game cache". If it's still not working, try #14 on this list.
