Music Glitch

[Z0mBieP00Nani]

Whenever I load a save in New Vegas the main theme music keeps playing on through the loading screen and then on into the save for a minute before shutting off, at which point there is no more ambient music, just the sounds of wind, distant gun fights, and other sound effects. The music on the radio works fine, it's just the game music that is not working.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I would also like to be able to play the game without it freezing every 5 to 30 minutes, but from what I've read, that's just something that "Freezeout" New Vegas is known for.

If you are using New Vegas Stutter Remover and have windows 10, you should try disabling that. If you want to keep using it, that are some notes in the New Vegas Stutter Remover-thread at Nexus, on how to configure it best.

I'll check that out, it's been a good while since I first started playing the game and I'm sure some things have changed since then. I'll have to see if I even have stutter remover installed.

 

UPDATE: Yup, removing the stutter remover seems to have fixed the music glitch, I'm not sure yet about the frequent crashing issue. I'm going to have to see about getting it to play nicely with Windows 10 though, the game is laggy as fuck without the stutter remover. Thanks for the help.

Ok, I found some settings that allow me to use stutter remover with Windows 10. I'll share them here for anyone else who happens upon this post.
