I bought Fallout NV recently and whenever I press new game the game loads for about 3-5 seconds then goes to a black screen and I get the "Fallout NV has stopped working" error. I have re-installed the game 3 or 4 times, updated my drivers, ran the game in compatibility mode, and still it does the same thing. If I try to validate the files through Steam it says "1 files failed to validate and will be reaquired." I have tried to validate many times and keep getting the same message. What should I do?

When you say re-installed, do you mean to re-downloaded aswell?

I deleted the games local content and then downloaded the game again.

right click on game in your library, go to properties, then local files, than verify integrity of game casch. if there are a few files that didnt download right that should fix it. good luck

When I try to verify it says that 1 of 1 files didn't verify.

well, hey thats all i can do for you. im not sure if theres a way to contact valve about this, but that would be my next step if i were you. also dont go digital unless neccecary is a great tip, like only if you save more than 50%, but thats just my opinion, i collect games
