Ok might not be the same issue as yours but I will at times have the game act like it is frozen. First couple of times I encountered this I cont/alt/del to get out. But then I decided that when it happened the next time that I would just sit there a bit longer and see what happened. Well after waiting a good minute or so the game unfroze and I was able to continue ok. Not sure what causes this but at least I didn't have to blow out of the game.


 



 


I've seen this problem myself. It only happens when I have another window active instead of FNV while it's loading (like I alt-tabbed) or if I run in windowed mode with certain other windows open in the background. FNV will continue loading data and windows thinks it's locked up if you try to make the FNV window the active window while it's loading data. It'll also do it if you have Task Manager open in the background. If that's the sort of behavior you are experiencing it sounds like a different problem to the OP.


 



I'll have to verify but generally when I run TTW or any other FO game I try to do so without any other windows open. Sometimes I might forget to close out of my browser but generally I do remember to close that before running the games. Also this only happens with TTW. I've never had it happen when running FO4 and I don't remember it ever happening when I played just FONV or FO3. I do use CASM (latest version) but it did it even before I installed it. I actually decided to install it because I thought the game was actually crashing and wanted to be sure that I had a recent save to reload. So I can pretty much rule out CASM as being the issue.

I've never had it happen in FO4 either, just in FNV and TTW when running in windowed mode. The only time I ever really noticed it was when I had a large load order and it took the game a minute or so to load. Windows always says "the program is not responding" when in reality it's just busy loading data. If I run it in fullscreen I never have the issue. Only in windowed mode. If you aren't running the game in windowed or "fake fullscreen" you're probably seeing something different.
