Is Betheseda even looking at the forums?

Post » Tue Dec 15, 2009 8:39 am

Are they? I'm not asking for much, but some sort of notion that they are actually here looking at the topics that we've posted on the bugs in the game and are at least working on something to remedy the issues. It's starting to feel like our words are falling on deaf ears.

A small one at that. That hasn't seemed to remedy very many issues.

Big ones take time. This small one was released only a few days after the release.

You'll just have to be patient. Sure, they're listening; they'll test and verify the issues we're reporting, then prioritize and schedule the fixes accordingly. It won't happen overnight, but it'll happen.

For a game this huge you expect 1 week to be ample enough time for them to fix everything? Dude, everyone who has played FO:NV already know the news about bugs and glitches. All gaming website already had those issues in their news one way or another. It is impossible that Bethesda dont have any idea about our complaints. But you see if you work in a company where your company's reputation is on the line, every single word you say would have a great effect on their reputation. If they weren't listening to our complaints we wouldnt have gotten any patch at all(however small or it may be). Sure it did not address every single issue we've passed but give them some time. They already did a bad job with the game (maybe because the developers were pressured by the higher ups), the least they can do it make a patch/fix that would earn back our trust on them. What we are doing to them is no different from what their executives required them to do. We are rushing them to make a quick fix, haste makes waste. I guess Bethesda learned it the hard way.

Before you start raging over one small statement I made. This small patch they released has caused more issues than it has fixed. In fact one just happened right now. I started a new game, seeing as I can't play my main one due to the reputation/faction bug and before the patch I had no issues with the game sending me back to the XMB during the game. Now when I started my new file after the patch I was going through the tutorial (to get some free stuff lol) right after the second site of geckos my screen went black and it sent me back to the XMB.

Honestly, I'm glad I rented the game first because now I know not to buy it till everything is straightened out, because all it would do is collect dust as some of these glitches make it near impossible to actually play the game. Little bugs like freezing or frame issues I can understand that, but game breaking glitches? That should not have happened.

Obviously not!!!!!

Because if Obsidian and Bethesda read the complaints then they would have just issued a mass recall and get the game done right or they would have at least release the proper patch first that makes the game so unplayable.

for example the frequent screen lag and choppy graphics and game freezes.

And the so called "patch" did not do jack for the PS3s, because my game froze fast and the game still lags and has choppy screen at times when running.

But we are stuck with a messed up game. That is why I do not believe those who says "we have no bugs and glitches" because they probably don't really play the game or they think talking nice about a messed up game gets them a nice prize.

They've posted, so they're obviously looking. I just hope that they release a good round of patches this time and fix the majority of issues.

It shoulnt have to happen in the 1st place for a single player game...it should be working flawlessly...if it were a mmo i could understand some of the bugs but even many of them dont have this many issues until it comes time for expansions (which is understandable)

That's good to hear. Are they still planning another patch for PS3 and 360?
I don't think the first patch fixed everything. If are looking at the forums you will know people are still finding bugs even after the 1.01 patch.

I would like some sort of acknowledgement that they are aware of the framerate/freezing issue and are doing all they can to fix it. All I've seen is a couple of half-arsed posts about minor glitches.

Surely the glitches that are preventing people from actually playing the game are the ones that should be taking precedent?

A couple more crashes and my copy is going back to the shop, I've had enough.

That's all fine. I've actually looked over that before I even made this topic. My thinking is that with all of the issues going on and the fact that they KNOW the game is buggy as hell, to the point where sometimes you can't even play it properly. You would think they would at least make a couple of appearances on the forum a day to let us know the progress (and that they're actually working...) of possibly another potential patch to fix at least some of the game breaking issues.

I've made another topic regarding the faction/reputation glitch trying to give them as much information as possible to diagnose where the problem is so that it won't take as long for them to find and fix the issue.

The topic can be seen here: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1131326-faction-glitch/

I can only speak for myself, but after playing for about an hour earlier today I didn't have any freezing/hanging problems on PS3 (and I'd previously had all kinds of problems). My initial impression is that the 1.01 patch did what it was supposed to do, for the most part. I wasn't wandering the desert at the time (where I've noticed the majority of the hitching/choppiness), so I can't definitively say I don't still have that problem. I'm not saying there aren't still bugs, but I'm seeing progress. Any progress will always be better than none.

A mass recall, though? That doesn't sound reasonable. Sure, the game could have been tested more thoroughly prior to release, but let's not get carried away.

I think if you look at our community managers posts, you will find that they have been making comments on the forum most days.

We're digging through a number of places where issues are being reported -- here in the forums, in other forums, our company inbox, our blog inbox, etc, etc. We're definitely paying attention and passing along information to testers and developers.

I'm still getting that freezing/hanging thing even after installing patch 1.01. It was never that bad for me in closed off areas, but out in the desert it's terrible. It happens every 20-30 feet there. It usually hangs for around a second or so, and then it's okay for another 20 feet. Sometimes it just completely crashes though.

yeah, but since we are the ones paying their salary's and spending our hard earned money on their product, i do not think it is expecting too much for them to have worked out all these bugs before they release the game in the first place.

i have to agree with you 100% i would rather wait longer for a game that is virtually bug free, than to get it sooner and have my enjoyment of the game suffer because of idiotic 'glitches'. :swear:

I'm not expecting them to fix it in a day's time. I'm mainly asking for some sort of presence here on the forums by the game devs a few times a day to update us with a post on the progress of any of these issues being fixed. Honestly, how hard would it be for them to make maybe 2-3 posts a day on any progress that has been made. I've taken some initiative by posting a thread about the reputation glitch that's going on and trying to keep updating it with any information I find out that may help them find the problem with the glitch...
