¶ Getting started with New Vegas Multiplayer (NVMP)
🛑 Please make sure and follow every step in this entire guide, and read EVERYTHING, It's all in here for a reason! Do not skip anything and expect it to work. 🛑
¶ Requirements
- Fallout: New Vegas
- English game language.
- Windows 10/11
- Steam & GoG Version ONLY, (The Epic Games FO:NV version is incompatible with modding and is fundamentally broken 🚨)
- Depending on where you play you might need DLC.
- RADD (Public server): You need ALL DLC.
- Co-op/SDK: You need the DLC the server host has.
- Epic Games account (For online connection purposes)
- Discord account (For authentication purposes)
¶ Things to avoid
- Excessive amounts of mods
- With how NVMP was built around base game FO:NV, installing any extra mods has a level of risk and you will need to test extra mods 1 by 1 to ensure they work properly.
- If your planning on modding co-op, then make sure and first read the co-op page.
¶ Things to note
- Quest progression DOESN'T sync between players, So if your questing with someone both of you need to do each quest step.
- NPC's Enemys, and bodies do sync!
- The only location that isn't synced is Doc Mitchell's house.
- It's recommended to save often with the F5 key.
- This mod is still actively being developed so if you happen to see any errors on the top left of your screen and thing's aren't acting like they should, Please make sure and post a screenshot of your screen and explain what seems to be messing up into nvmp-support
