I'm going to crash out
I have the character creation grey screen bug, I updated my drivers but I've got Intel® UHD Graphics because I'm on laptop. Shits didn't work.
I went through the entire process of downloading Viva New Vegas and everything downloaded and worked fine, and mind you I absolutely despise computers. I have some technical skills as I previously worked in finance but shit like 2FA and it failing to connect to an authenticator therefore locking me out of the standard options to log in pisses me the fuck off.
Now imagine my patience levels when I do all of that shit, taking me a whole evening and FOR THE SHIT NOT EVEN TO FIX THE MAIN PROBLEM. I am at my wits end.
I want to punch my screen but I will not, the financial repercussions would suck.
In the end, I give up. Only until a reddit thread pops up that explains step by step just like the Viva New Vegas guide how to resolve this issue, I will just throw in the towel and just play it on Xbox. FML.
