If you get stuck or run into any issues, we’ve got your back. Join our DUST Discord server and navigate to the #support-and-bugs-dust channel. You can make a new post and tag it appropriately. When asking for support, please follow these simple rules:

  • You did some effort to look into the matter yourself
  • You followed the instructions in the guide AND those of the individual mods
  • You will share your load order, mod list, and crashlog in case of CTDs
  • Please keep things polite and clear. I work on this in my spare time, and I don't have a lot of it.
Warning
A WORD ABOUT NEW VEGAS ANTI CRASH (NVAC)
NVAC basically tells the game to not crash, when it wants to crash. So it forces the game to run when it shouldn't. That's not healthy as you can imagine, what may result in an unstable game and even save corruption. NVAC had its merits in the past I guess, but nowadays any scenario where NVAC would stop crashing are fixed by other mods. Except for crashes by broken meshes. But well, why would you want to run a broken mod anyway?
Additionally, NVAC can also contribute to crashing due to memory corruption. And when you crash with NVAC active, the crashlog that is generated will be useless. Without reliable crash information, issues cannot be properly diagnosed or fixed. As such, support will not be provided.
Be smart - don't use NVAC. Fix your setup instead.
