A Introduction to Fallout New Vegas Multiplayer (NVMP) [Updated 2025]

The Mod Works with Linux But requires additional set-up, But you're unable to join the Public Server due to the method of setting it up (There's a pinned post in the #NVMP-Support channel you can check out or this video)
NVMP works only with these platforms

* GOG
* Steam
(Yes it is cross-platform)

Hello! If you're reading this, you're most likely interested in New Vegas Multiplayer (NVMP) or are browsing the mod and would like to know a little more about it. To start there are different ways to enjoy NVMP They have

- Public Server/ATK (Formerly known as RADD)

- Co-op (New Vegas in a local server with up to 10 Friends)

This is what you can do with NVMP I will also have a FAQ section if you have some questions and if you have one that's not up there feel free to leave one.

If you're wondering what's possible with Co-op I'll leave a playlist that has NVMP Co-op
It'll be Here

Otherwise I hope this guide helps explain somethings and introduce you into NVMP and possibly trying it for yourself

Recommended to be using a Clean Install

Installing Manually is recommended for experienced/stubborn modders

NVMP Manual Guide Wiki[nuwiki.nv-mp.com]
(Official guide)

---

When using Mod Organizer you need to install NVMP into your game files so they can properly work
This is what it should look like in Mo2 this is what it should be setup as in your executables

Sparks are the player currency of NVMP. They can be traded with other players and gathered in multiple different ways.

• PVE Grinding

Sparks can be gained by killing NPC's with a limit per day
Animals, Humans, Robots, any kind of NPC's can be killed to gain sparks.

• Jobs

RADD has a job system with multiple different jobs that you can do to gain sparks.
- Radio Host: 100 Sparks every 30 minutes
- Entertainer: Get Tips for playing Music
- Courier: Deliver Mail to Players & Houses for 250 Sparks per Mail

• Pay other players with them!
  
• Buy from Lawson(Black-Market Trader)
  
• Paying for Services

PVP can be the most fun, exhilarating combat you can have as the open world of New Vegas mixed with PVP is amazing.

The Game has been entirely re-balanced and setup to make builds using Legendary perks to boost your favorite weapons. Some weapons will be good and some will be awful but finding things to use in a fight can be amazing.

if you wanted to see what PVP looks like in NVMP this Video has it all

Co-op can be setup with multiple methods and have different ways

I'll be showcasing all of them here but first

DLC's can be disabled though so if someone doesn't have DLCs have everyone disable the dlcs or what they don't have

Opening a Server is easy, head to your launcher hit the "Launch Local Server" Button

Once open you'll see a bunch of things appear and it should look like this

Now the most important thing here is the "Available Mods" as this is what mods/ esps the server is registering for the server and means every player has to have those mods

Simple. If you're the one hosting you can head to "Connect Via IP" and input Localhost:27015

it should launch the game up!

Using Radmin/Hamachi to Connect is the simplest way to connect (In my opinion)

Step 1. Setting up a Network!

Setting up a network is the way you have each other be connected

2. Joining!
Whoever is hosting use their "Radmin IP" and insert it into "Connect Via IP" and also add the port :27015 at the end!

Step 3. Success!

[Small FAQ]

QWhat is Radmin IP?

A: The Numbers under your PC name!

Port Fowarding is recommended for those who have expertise or are accustomed to using it.

Simply join the Host using their public Ivp4 Connection using "connect via ip" with the :27015 at the end

The Patreon only servers are people who directly support the mod via their Patreon[www.patreon.com] these servers are not hosted on a PC but are ran on a server.
You just need to input selected commands like these into the bots messages


Creating a server to play on is easy! just input the !gscreate command and it'll start a server


Simply enter in the server IP in the info you were given for your server

Dust 1.6 (not 2.0 sadly), Tales of Two Wastelands, DLC's (All DLC's)

---

QCan I use mods on the server?

---

Q:Will this affect my game when I'm not playing NVMP?
A:No, NVMP should never affect your game.

QWhy isn't there quest sync?

AThe Mod itself is a framework, not meant to be a Skyrim Together sort of mod,

QDo we need to be in the NVMP Discord to play the mod?

ANo, But to join the public server you need to be in the discord

Q: Is there a way to not have to sign-in to Epic Games?
A:Yes. there is a offline Mode that allows for Co-op but all Players must be in Offline and you can't access the Public Server.

QWhy Do we need to sign into Epic Games?
(Answer from Developer)
* Epic Games gives us considerably great Anti-Cheat
* Epic Games gives us an SDK that allows for better networking in the future
* Discord linkage means we can hold everyone accountable within the Discord, and our bans in Discord mirror directly to the RADD server
* The linkage only ever has to be done once, so it's just a small hurdle one time
As of version 9.0, Epic games is no longer used
If there are more questions I will add them.

NVMP uses its own custom UI and some software's have a direct conflict with the GUI
These are the ones I know that cause conflict:

• Overwolf
  
• Msi Afterburner
  
• RivaTuner

Some mods do cause conflict due to editing game files or overwriting the NVMP UI
These are:

• Reshade
  
• Enb's
  
• Heap Replacer
  
• Simple Death

DXVK & D3d9 are compatible now
