Big Fallout: New Vegas Patch Hits PS3, Other Platforms Next Week
Hopefully they make Rex and Cass un-disappeared, or at least let me pick another companion to replace them. And being able to go into The Strip without having to equip a cowboy hat so it doesn't crash and corrupt my saves would be cool too.
Great game, but easily the glitchiest I have ever played. Ever.
Duders there are games with FAR more bugs out there. I´ve played about 45 hours of this and had the game crash twice. There was one Scorpion stuck in the geometry and one companion who took forever to get up after gettin knocked down, but absolutely NOTHING game-breaking.
I would think twice before calling it "a piece of shit" or whatever.. you guys should seriously play Daggerfall (or Morrowind before some of the patches) that game was buggy as hell for me.
Thanks, Obsidian... I guess.
I never realized that there were so many things messed up in this game.
Also, there are a lot of bots showing up on this site. Crazy.
I really want this but I think I'll wait for the full package with DLC to be released on disc first.
Played this game about 15 hours and only a single crash. A couple of scorpions in the floor but other than that I'm very happy with it. Bring on more patches, what the heck!
I guess everybody's entitled to their opinion. I've played the game for over 80 hours already and had a blast so far.

Look at all the quest bugs. "While I have to agree with your statement, I have to say in Fallout's defense that those quests were only "potentially" buggy. I've played thorugh a lot of them and had no problems whatsoever. Still, I had also wished it would have worked flawlessly from the beginning. "
Seriously huge list of patches there but I'm glad to see they have finally done it. I have been waiting to pick up my copy until I knew these issues were fixed. Ironically there are even more here then I knew about.

When is this patch update due?
I'll have to concede & state that I'm finally seeing issues
in the game. The primary issue is the LOAD TIME. Later
in the game when you get up in the New Vegas area, it
can take 30 seconds to a minute to load, even fast travel
& so on. If I didn't love the game so much I wouldn't be
enduring it.
Next, I've had my NPC just vanish! I've figured out why, at
least one reason. When you advance the PC's story, a flag
goes up that they wish to speak to you. However, if you
immediately go into Fast Travel or switch to another area,
the NPC doesn't get to use the flag & instead disappears.
I found a work-around on youtube & was proceeding to
that area. However, the NPC showed up during a random
encounter. The NPC then halted me & delivered her story.
She disappeared again later (got lost in the mountains
which could happen in Fallout 3), & when I threw some
dynamite at a Big Horn (executed in VATS), she yelled out
"Grenade!" & then appeared in the battle.
I really hope they fix the slow load time.
EDIT: Well shtt. I didn't see the slow load time in the patch
list. Plus it ain't out til next week? Man. I gotta finish
Deadly Premonition..maybe I'll work on that a little over
the weekend.
Check out my thread in the New Vegas forums. I will update that when new patches comes out and all info from Bethesda/Obisidian. Right now this patch is out on the PC and PS3. The 360 patch will come out tmorrow or the day after that, in this week of course. And in terms of the problems, many problems were fixed in this patch, but the patch-notes dont say much, so it's a good chance many of the problems are fixed. However, to fully get all the fixes you should start a new game since they all dont merge into your save.

Never really had many problems with the game previously, and the ones that did occur weren't major. Since the patch I'm having trouble going 30 minutes without the game crashing.
The feature additions seem to be nice though I guess...
Do you have to start over to enjoy the benefits
of the patch? I'm still playing my existing game
& it seems like it's loading faster between areas
than last week. Not sure about anything else
however.

Some will merge with your save, like ammo fixes and tweaks, save corruptions etc, but some will not, like some quests. The best thing is to sart a new game to benefit from all fixes of course, but if you haven't met broken quests then there shouldn't be a problem really. But for some reason the game will crash more frequantly after the new patch. But if you play in short-bursts you should be OK.

crashes? The only crash I've seen so far (part of
the old save) is when I buy cards in the Mojave
Outpost. I have found that if I buy one card at a
time (buy then exit to the "trade" menu), I can buy
all the cards without the game crashing.
I tried boning the zombie whore. Sadly, it didn't
work & I can't try again.
I did some research on my own with the crashes and when i deleted my game cache and confirmed the latest update again it was all OK. No crash in 10 hours. So i'm not sure, but i know for sure that many people got more crashes after it. Oh, and the crash you speak of is fixed with the patch.

think I'll just finish up what I have before starting it
a second time with patch (& hardcore).
