Fallout: New Vegas

Steam: Successfully installed

Fallout New Vegas: Successfully installed, but crashes when trying to start a new game or load a savegame.

I have tried all game patches and mods that people have suggested on different forums and blogs, but without luck.

I have manually installed DirectX too, but the game still does not want to load.

Downgrading game resolution and setting compatibility mode to windows 7, 8 or 10 does not work. 

Is there anything I can do? PS: It is a VM created from scratch, windows 11 is updated to the lastest version as of august 9th 2023, the VM has 16GB RAM and 4 CPU cores. I also added about 8GB graphics memory.


The game also crashes similarly with the Microsoft Basic Display Driver being used instead of the VMware SVGA 3D driver (so it's unlikely to be a VMware graphics issue).
