are you satisfied with the patch?

Post » Tue Apr 20, 2010 5:31 am

So wait, a business wants to make money to continue operating? SAY IT AIN'T SO!

If you had your way, Bethesda would have no income, these games wouldn't exist.


Actually if I had my way, Bethesda could do whatever they want without Microsoft coming in and controlling everything. They would have more money because more people would buy their products if Microsoft didn't delay them.

Don't try and say what I think, because you don't know me.

I haven't had any real problems since the last patch (on PC) so this hasn't changed a whole lot for me personally. A lot of weapons appear to have been buffed though which I'm not crazy about because, well... After playing the game since its release, I don't really want the game to become easier. Then again, I suppose enemies also get "buffed" through these changes (I could see fighting enemies armed with explosives being a bit more dangerous now) as well so maybe it's not a problem. Haven't tested enough.

The game does seem to run a bit smoother though, even though I didn't have any FPS issues before.

Nope. I am not satisfied. Not even a little.

On the 360. DL the patch this AM... eagerly try to load a game: every save file hangs when I try to load it after the message that my downloadable content is no longer available.

On top of losing ALL my save files, apparently I've also lost my Mercenary Pack and Dead Money.

He wasn't initiating conversation at the key story progression moments aka when you got "history points".


They need to fix this then because Boone is broken and they broke him on Patch 1.2. Arcade isn't broken and he initiates comments at history points and so does Raul.. Whoever did it needs to fix it like Arcade's script so Boone doesn't keep reholstering in the middle of combat with an enemy in his face and he doesn't become a zombie with no head-tracking. Arcade and Raul work, Boone doesn't. Thanks for that info.

Satisfied, I'm bloody livid. The patch has killed New Vegas - the thing just hangs after telling me downloaded content is no longer available and that some objects will be missing. So, apparently I've lost all my save games making the last month of playing has been a waste of time. Someone also claims deleting the update doesn't help. So even better.

Same here, can't load an old save, my Classic pack is gone and so is dead money. I did however start a new game and listen to Goodsrping citizens talk about how I killed Caesar :celebration:

I'm sorry...are you saying that they're saying that even though you just started the game and haven't done it yet?

I have the Classic Pack on my PS3 version but haven't downloaded any new patch yet. I guess I'm boycotting it because of losing the Classic Pack and other problems I'm reading about. The new things that work sound good but I don't want more glitches. :(

I've got the patch now, and this is like playing a different game entirely. Load speeds have increased at least 1600%

What patch? This was just a weapon/ammo balance tweak, I don't see any bugs fixed. I had a few quests I skipped because they were impossible to complete or progress due to bugs, none of which have been fixed. As already mentioned, Boone's combat is still broken, which was caused by the previous patch. The Ultra-Luxe bath house still causes the game to crash/lock up, which has probably been the most talked about bug in the support forums. Look at the list of bugs fixed by the http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38326, pretty much every one of those have not been fixed by this "patch."

Have you made sure the data files in the launcher section are checked? That would nerf all your added stuff were they not checked.

I have to do this for some FO3 mods I have. They always come up unchecked in the launcher.

Hey guys, quick question for those of you who have tried the new patch. Is that annoying glitch still there when you're holding a rifle and your arms keep jumping up in the air blocking your vision? The break dance glitch? cause that annoyed the [censored] out of me and seems like it would be very easy to fix. Thanks

I haven't gotten it yet after about 3 hours of playing. Can't confirm it's completely gone though.

A Viper bandit threw a grenade at me (didn't try to dodge), and my health bar went down significantly more than pre-patch. I am pleased.

P.S. Another one was carrying a grenade rifle that I got to loot off his still warm corpse. I'm only lvl 2, so that's cool. Time to play with it.

It's still happening. Something tells me this glitch would require the equivalent of reworking the animations themselves.

at level 30 with all 3 ranks of Demolition Expert my grenades are somehow doing 222 damage. Plasma grenades are doing 398.

Yes, I have read it. The tiny list of 11 "fixes" (most of which are still weapon/ammo related) doesn't even come close to the hundreds of bugs fixed by the community bug fix patch.

I wouldn't say "hundreds"; That's a bit over-exaggerating. Also, some are classified as "Should of been in the game", rather than an actual "fix", like Pyromaniac switching over to Energy Weapons instead of Explosives in the patch or removing the backpack tag to show the backside of Power Armor. They are not all true "fixes". And you have to factor in that maybe some fixes aren't working as intended by Obsidian, no offense to Yukichigai, like the Vault 34 Fix.

Then there are the things they did fix that no modder can fix, like Splash Damage, or the bug where the day resets to Sunday each time you load up the game. Plus, the adjustments they made to the engine. Everything besides the changes they made to the engine are truly secondary.

From a PC player perspective, it's alright if they didn't fix much because of said Bug fix patch. I really don't expect them to fix every single thing that's listed in the bug fix patch, but who knows.

I am most definitely not satisfied, nor am I even sure I will ever be.

I am not the only one with the issues concerning the shoddy reputation/karma system. Biggest problem is with the NCR rep.... which I am apparently "Accepted", yet any NCR or NCR affiliated people who see me without a NCR uniform attack me, and any Ranger will shoot on sight despite a uniform, though I am 99% positive I did nothing to deserve this.

Honestly, I couldn't care any less about tweaking weapons... majority of the tweaks seem to be a waste of time. Fix the bigger issues please. Yes, I may only be around 30 hours in and compared to some of you that is chump change, but with what little time I have to play these days I might as well toss the game out if I have to restart just to fix this ridiculous problem.
