With the new #fallout show out, tons of people want to jump into the old fallout games, me included! BUT #falloutnewvegas was locking up and crashing on me during the loading screen after the intro video when I tried to start a new game. I will show you how what fixed it for me, and hopefully, it fixes it for you as well!
WORKS ON GAMEPASS VERSION AS WELL
To open the file location of your GamePass version of Fallout New Vegas open GamePass app for PC. Select Fallout New Vegas, select the 3 dots, click manage, files, browse and there you can find your GamePass install directory for Fallout New Vegas, paste the files in there.
