Frequently Asked Questions Banner

  • Application load error P:0000065432 - I am getting an error called Application load error P:0000065432. How do I fix it?

  • Altering Uranium Fever - Can I modify mods in Uranium Fever?

    • Official support is not provided for modified lists. However, the uf-support-altered channel on Discord allows community members to assist each other.
  • Cannibal Perk - Why doesn’t the cannibalize function from the Cannibal perk work?

    • You must be crouching to use the cannibalize function.
  • Clean Install - Do I need a clean install of Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 to use Uranium Fever?

    • No. Uranium Fever is fully self-contained and independent of your regular Fallout installations!
  • Controller Support - Does Uranium Fever support controllers?

    • Unfortunately, no. Creating a unified scheme for various equipment and platforms proved challenging. We recommend using Steam Input and this Unofficial Controller Preset.
  • Crashing - My game crashes. How can I fix it?

    • Post your crash log (located in Uranium Fever > [NoDelete] Stock New Vegas > Crash Logs) in the Uranium Fever Support channel on Discord.
    • If you’ve modified the list, use the modified Uranium Fever support channel. Note that altering Uranium Fever voids official support.
  • Dialogue Skill Indicator - Why don’t I see the skill check indicator in dialogue like in the original game?

    • This feature has been intentionally removed to prevent players from knowing if they’ll pass a skill check.
  • DLCs - What levels are recommended for the DLCs and DLC-like quest mods?

    • Capital Wasteland:
      • Point Lookout (with Early Decisions and Gameplay Enhancement) - 10
      • The Pitt - 15
      • Mothership Zeta (with Hardcore Zeta) - 25
      • Operation Anchorage (with Anchorage Gameplay Expansion) - 25
    • Mojave Wasteland:
      • Autumn Leaves - 1
      • Lake Havasu - 10
      • Dry Wells - 10
      • Honest Hearts - 10
      • The Initiation - 15
      • Old World Blues - 15
      • Eliza - 20
      • Headhunting - 20
      • Depths of Depravity - 20
      • The High Desert - 20
      • Dead Money (with Dead Money Tweaks) - 25
      • Lonesome Road - 25
      • North Road - 35
  • Failed and Slow Nexus Downloads - Why are my downloads slow or failing?

    • Make sure your Nexus account is connected to Wabbajack. Open Wabbajack settings to link your Nexus account.
  • First Time Playing - Is this list suitable for a Fallout newcomer?

    • Yes. This list is ideal for anyone seeking a challenging experience. If Uranium Fever feels overwhelming, consider other TTW/FNV Wabbajack lists.
  • First Time Playing - I want to experience the intro sequence.

    • We do not support the Fallout 3 intro sequence. It has bugs and complications that cannot be resolved in a satisfactory way.
  • Flickering - Why are distant objects or mountains flickering?

    • This is called z-fighting. The only available mod to address this is not public and can cause issues like broken render distances.
  • FPS - How can I increase FPS in Uranium Fever?

    • Consider trying Lossless Scaling. Please note that the Uranium Fever team has no affiliation with Lossless Scaling and does not provide support for it.
    • Try a lower quality Uranium Fever Profile.
  • FPS Limiters - Do I need a separate FPS limiter?

    • Yes. RTSS uses CPU functions to limit FPS, which offers lower latency and better consistency than GPU-based methods, especially in Fallout: New Vegas.
  • Hardcore - Can I disable hardcore mode?

    • No. Many mods in Uranium Fever rely on hardcore mode, and the list is designed around it.
  • HDR - The launcher is configured with HDR on, but my monitor doesn't support HDR. Should I turn it off?

    • No, Fallout uses the term HDR to reference the quality of rendering, which is independent of your monitor.
  • Installation Error - I encountered an error during Wabbajack installation. What should I do?

    • Simply rerun the installation; Wabbajack errors are often temporary.
  • Hacking - Why can’t I use the vanilla hacking mini-game?

    • It’s replaced by Immersive Minigames, offering a balanced, resource-management-focused alternative.
  • Keybinds - How can I view Uranium Fever’s keybinds?

    • Press K in the pause menu.
  • Launcher - My launcher only shows "Install" and "Options" is greyed out. Why?

    • Re-run the launcher from Steam/GOG to regenerate the necessary INIs. This usually happens after updating Uranium Fever.
  • Level Cap - What is the level cap in Uranium Fever?

    • 60, as set by Tale of Two Wastelands.
  • Long Load Screens - I have very long load screens, why?

    • You likely capped your FPS at too low a value.
  • Lockpicking - Why can’t I use the vanilla lockpicking mini-game?

    • It has been replaced by Immersive Minigames.
  • Manual Installs - Why must I manually install TTW and NVR?

    • TTW requires manual installation due to ModPub restrictions, and NVR is locked behind Discord, which Wabbajack cannot access.
  • Mod Order/Load Order - I accidentally messed up my mod order/load order. How do I fix it?

    • A backup is pre-bundled with Uranium Fever. You can either restore from the backup or re-run the Uranium Fever installer.
  • Modularity - Can I customize Uranium Fever to my preferences?

    • Uranium Fever is not inherently modular. Due to optimizations, plugin merging, and updates, altered lists are unsupported.
  • NoDelete - What does [NoDelete] mean?

    • This tag prevents Wabbajack from modifying the contents of tagged folders during updates.
  • Notification Size - Why are my notifications so large?

    • Notification size is large at the start of a new game but will normalize after reloading.
  • NPCs - Why aren’t certain NPCs completing quest tasks?

    • You may have interrupted their scripted actions. Reload a prior save and allow them to complete their tasks.
  • Optimization - How is Uranium Fever optimized?

    • We used Cathedral Asset Optimizer and Nvidia Texture Tools to compress textures, downsize to 2k, and generate mipmaps. Animations are BSA-packed with BSArchPro, LOD distances are optimized, and priority flags are set to load only necessary items.
  • Other Modded Instances - Can I keep my other modded setups while playing Uranium Fever?

    • Yes. Uranium Fever is self-contained in the Stock New Vegas folder and won’t interfere with other setups.
  • Pagefile - Should I increase the pagefile size for New Vegas?

    • No. Fallout: New Vegas has a 3.9GB memory limit, so increasing the pagefile won’t prevent memory-related crashes.
  • Parse Errors - Are parse errors during installation an issue?

    • No, as long as the installer shows "Complete" at the end.
  • Pink Screen - Why do I see pink transition screens?

    • You likely skipped the 4GB patching process (FNVPatch.exe in [NoDelete] Stock New Vegas).
  • Plugin No Longer Present - I'm notified that certain plugins are missing. Is this an issue?

    • No, unless specifically noted. Some plugins may be merged or removed during optimization, which doesn’t affect your save.
  • Quick Save - Why is there no quick save button?

    • This is to prevent reloading to avoid negative outcomes in combat or skill checks.
  • Ragdolls - Does the Ragdolls mod cause crashes?

    • No. The Death Throes plugin used here is stable.
  • Reflections - Why are landscape reflections visible in windows despite there being a building or object behind me?

    • This is intentional and prevents significant performance loss.
  • Runtime Error - I’m getting a runtime error at launch.

    • You likely opened MO2 before creating your Stock New Vegas folder. Re-run the Uranium Fever Installer to fix this.
  • Selecting Perks - Why can’t I select a perk every level?

    • You can select perks only on even levels. Vegas Elysium requires the perk menu to display every level, even when perks aren’t available.
  • Size - Why is Uranium Fever so large?

    • Despite optimizations, the list's texture enhancements are extensive, with original downloads alone requiring 50GB. See Optional Clean Up for ways to save space.
  • Start - How do I start in the Mojave Wasteland instead of the Capital Wasteland?

    • Select "memory" when prompted after leaving the Vault 101 cave.
  • Tale of Two Wastelands - Is TTW required for Uranium Fever?

    • Yes. The modlist cannot be installed or used without TTW.
  • Ultra-wide - Can I use an ultra-wide resolution with Uranium Fever?

    • Yes, with settings adjustments in the Options separator, but this setup is unofficial and unsupported.
  • Updates - Will updating impact my saves?

    • Unless specified otherwise, your saves will still work, though updates after starting a save may introduce small bugs.
