Hello,
I have played Fallout NV a lot but this is my first try to get some mods working.
I installed NVSE and launch the game trough "nvse_loader.exe".
This works fine but GOG Galaxy doesn't notice the game is running, which means I won't get achievements and my play time won't get tracked.
Is there a way to get this working? I like achievements. :)
I found a reddit post which looks promising.
(Sorry, but I can't post links unfortunately...)
So I edited the file "goggame-1454587428.info" and replaced "FalloutNV.exe" and "FalloutNVLauncher.exe" with "nvse_loader.exe".
When I launch the game trough GOG Galaxy it still launches "FalloutNVLauncher.exe" and NVSE is not enabled.
Then I also edited the file "goggame-galaxyFileList.ini" and replaced "F18=FalloutNV.exe" and "F347=FalloutNVLauncher.exe" with "F18=nvse_loader.exe" and "F347=nvse_loader.exe".
This also doesn't work. :(
But then I found a shortcut "Launch Fallout - New Vegas" in the Fallout New Vegas folder.
Right click this file > properties > target
Change "G:\GOG\Fallout New Vegas\FalloutNVLauncher.exe" to "G:\GOG\Fallout New Vegas\nvse_loader.exe" and start the game trough GOG Galaxy. (The path may be different on your computer)
This worked for me.
It still works if I change "goggame-galaxyFileList.ini" and "goggame-1454587428.info" back to the original file. So the only thing you have to do is change the target .exe of the shortcut.
PS: This was supposed to be a question but meanwhile I figured it out by myself so I decided to post it as a little guide anyway. Maybe some of you face the same problem.
