It absolutely does, though. Vanilla crashes all the time and has several game-breaking bugs. I don't recommend that anyone plays New Vegas unmodded â especially on a newer machine that'll be less compatible (like my 7700X + 4090 rig running Windows 11) â unless you just hate yourself. You need community patches to get it in a playable state.
Same goes for Fallout 3. It's not nearly as buggy as NV, of course, but try running it Vanilla on a modern Windows 11 machine and let me know how well that goes for you lol. You get massive framerate dips and it literally crashes every 5 minutes on a brand new PC if you don't install any mods to make it compatible.
I mean I still play it on a modern system mostly unmodded (I do minor QOL mods like adding/moving fast travel points to limit loading screens but nothing super fancy or specifically for performance). Still on windows 10, though. I get no performance issues, though crashing is still a worry. It's not like every 30 minutes tho, like when it was new đ¤Ŗ

Well there you go. Win10 is old enough now to still be compatible with those games. But like I said, try it on a modern machine running 11.
That said, even in my Windows 7 days, NV still crashed all the time. The game had a rushed development; it's a miracle that it runs at all on any PC.
Windows 11 is essentially a skin and experience pack for win 10, in fact it was.originally going to be the nezt update to 10. very little has changed that will affect how games run.
I played NV unmodded and hardly had any crashes in my +150 hours.
All I did was to deactivate all but one CPU core iirc.
