I am having problems with Fallout New Vegas. I recently bought Fallout New Vegas and whenever I launch the game and press Play, Its shows a message that it detecting video hardware it sets it a quality. It happens every single time I press play. Also, it disappears for a second and then it reappears as if it had restarted and does it all over again. What do I do? D:

If you can't comprehend what I am saying, or need a description.

I don't have the game installed at the moment, but it seems that you are starting it from a launcher. Go to the game's folder and start it from FalloutNV.exe, I believe.

You can look for other solutions on the Fallout sub-forum and
the pcgamingwiki.

I tried that already, I didn't work
It has to set preferences the first time it runs, so it knows what settings to use when it runs on your computer.

On initial run, it will detect your video options, select a setting, and when you click on OK and run the game for the first time, it will save a preferences file usually in your documents/my games folder for Fallout NV.

It shouldn't do this more than once, unless you have your pc on lockdown so that the program can't even save preferences, which seems kind of silly if you do.

The main thing is you want to run the game after it sets your video settings to "Quality". As I said, this should lock in your settings for every time you play, but if you just click "Ok" and then close the launcher, it's going to keep trying to set your video settings because nothing's been saved.
Right click the game icon "run as administrator" as your creating an Ini file the game will use EVERY time it starts up, IF your getting it every time the file is not being created properly.
Run the game in windows compatibility for windows 7, I been having this issue with Windows 10 and that seemed to have fixed the problem for me. and If I am not mistaken like fallout 3 there was another icon in the game folder where it will just launch the game so you don't need to go through that hardware detection option.. I hope that one has it.
