Q: Fallout New Vegas Freeze on Bethesda Loading Screen (before main menu)

Up until recently, Fallout New Vegas played just fine on my PC, However, I went to play it yesterday and the game loads as far as the Bethesda splash screen (before the main menu) and then freezes.

@kalina your saying i didn't read it.

user58869

@kalina how come your so quick to defend the small print then?

Unionhawk

@Lazers Hold your close votes, this one has at least something. So we'll see how it plays out.

Yuki

@axrwkr Mostly to teach you to read the small print.

I would assume.

user58869

@Yuki i dont think so

Unionhawk

You can hate it all you want, but when you checked "I have read and agree"... you can't just retroactively disagree.

Arperum

21:37

@Unionhawk A paint scetch is not a screenshot. flagging for off topic.

Unionhawk

That's not how it works.

user58869

@Yuki i'm no stranger to small print, i read it very carefully, but i would never defend it

Unionhawk

@Arperum Okay, well. Whatever. Have at it then.

kalina

@axrwkr what's the point of hating a fact of life? You can't do anything to avoid small print, so read it, don't get caught out. Small print was invented to screw you out of something and it will do every single time if you don't know what you're agreeing to

user58869

@kalina so your sure that i was charged £100 a second time because of small print... sigh

kalina

21:38

@axrwkr either that or you left the account active

it will pretty much be your fault regardless

Jason Berkan

@Unionhawk Drawing a picture of what the screen looked like should not be used as an end run around the fact that ItG are off topic.

user58869

@kalina how can you be so sure of that

kalina

@JasonBerkan I agree, it's still off topic

Unionhawk

@JasonBerkan I'm tired, and I only glanced at it, okay.

kalina

@axrwkr because of the reason

user58869

21:39

@kalina it's almost as if your in the business of tricking people out of their money

Arperum

@axrwkr Because the only way they can take money from you is because you allowed them too.

user58869

@kalina what do you do for a living?

kalina

@axrwkr I've been unemployed since Thursday

user58869

@kalina and before that?

kalina
