posted before here, but still having some issues, some new

Let's see. I mentioned not being able to pick up some objects. After not playing the game for 2 days, the issue stopped. Except for the Q-35 matter blah blah plasma rifle. Still could not pick it up. It was leaning in the tube, and by the way, I mean it was leaning out in open air. First thing I try, is going back to both terminals that control the door to that room, and hitting the unlock command a few times. No go. So i tried someone else's (don't remember who said it) idea and walked around it trying to pick it up. Success!! while standing about 3 or 4 feet AWAY form the gun and staring at the floor, i was able to pick it up.

Let's see, what else. My companions, not matter which ones, still like to decide on their own to wait. They just suddenly stop moving, and just stand still were they are. And I have to go over, use the wheel, tell them to wait,follow,wait,follow then they follow me. And yes, it as to be in that order, and for that amount of times, or they just stand there.

Still have an issue, rarely now, were I can not enter VATS. I have to reload the game to fix it. Thankfully, this has been rare for me, but when a deathclaw is charging you is not the time for VATS to take a break.

Oh, a new one. I know that it takes time for vendors to change what they carry, but the Vendorbot at the gun runners has not changed his stock for me in over 3 weeks of game time. All the other vendors have. And no, I'm not standing in front of the thing waiting. I've been going around wandering the desert, plus i use the wait/sleep thing a lot. Not on hardcoe, but hey, why use a stimpak when a bed is right next to you?

also, I have not seen Issac since the first time i was at gun runners. and there is no house inside the compound. just the gun runner building. Sooooo, where is he? is he on vacation? if so, he's been gone for 4 months of game time. maybe he's on family medical leave.

Still likes to lock up if i use the vendor in Crimson Caravan. Again, if i just buy or sell one at a time, I'm okay. However, now it does the same thing when dealing with contreaus or what ever the supply guy's name is at Camp McCarren.

And still having issues with lag, game locking up frequently, 3 or 4 total game freezes a day, and once a day i get to joy of having the game dump me back to the XMB.

I have this glitch with all the vendors. Since I started my newest play through the goodspring vendor still hasn't restocked (the other vendors haven't either). I am on level 10 right now.

to the OP you really sound like you work for bethesda. just sayin.


I've encountered many many freezes/crashes.

my worst so far is that i picked up cass as a follower after I had already killed the omertas. When I went to ask her to join me she just spouted off some random lines from the end of her quest when I had never started it. My only real option left from the start was kill alice at caravan trading and after that the game would become completly unplayable in new vegas and 10 more minutes of play time and It was unplayable period. I was stuck in the King headquarters and when I would try to leave my ps3 would just freeze on the loading screen. The last non autosave I had was 5 hours of gameplay earlier and I eventually had to use that one. The longer I play the buggier it is.

Something else I would like to point out is maybe you shouldn't have posted this post on the PS3 boards if you didn't want mostly ps3 issues, I'm sure you would have more luck with xbox users on the xbox forum and more pc users posting in the pc forum.

And if you can't understand why so many people are angry and have nothing nice to say at this point then you either DO work for the company or are a die hard really devoted fan. I'm posting my issues here just hoping they will fix some of these bugs but in reality its all on the company, this is what they pay testers for. If you bought a boat or a car and it kept leaving you stranded you wouldnt be very happy would you? or a Tv that only worked half the time, imagine your watching a movie and all of the sudden the tv volume starts going wild for the 50th time.


This game speaks volumes about the company because fallout 3 GOTY was riddled with the same freezes/crashes, and its STILL to this day riddled. With new vegas being the same only worse its no wonder why people are pissed. I've spent $150 between FO3, GOTY and NV and the latter 2 are poor excuses for final product. No I dont know anything about computer programming or scripting and if I did I wouldn't need to pay gamesas, thats all beside the point anyway though because its their job, their product and they should be giving more frequent updates to the many unhappy consumers and working dilligently on fixing this. There could have easily been at least another small patch to fix something by now.

Ok so I went into the Van Graff building ready to fight them with Cassidy the companion.

We both ended up dying like exactly the same time, so when it goes to load my most recent save... It says Cassidy is dead and i look over at her and shes pretty much dead. I try loading up a save from yesterday (about 4 in game hours before this incident) and Cassidy is dead there to.

Everytime i fast travel or load into a new area, Cassidy travels with me, but shes dead.... it wont let me search her or get rid of her as a companion.

Ive dealt with most of the bugs so far pretty well, but this one pretty much ruins the game right now. I cant play untill shes fixed. Cause everywhere i go.. i have a dead Cassidy following me...

By the way i have had this happen before. where we both die at same time and when loading up the most recent save it tells me one of my companions has died and stuff, but this is the first time where the companion is actually dead when it loads the save. So im not sure what to do. Anyone else have this bug or find a way to fix it? or do we have to wait for a patch?

The Year is 12,28,81
I am LVL 26
My XP is 51627

I have many hours of playtime in, the game seams endless.
So I feel I got my moneys worth.
Maybe you tried to make the game too big.

I have been playing through ALLLL the freezness'es and saving all the time.

I checked all my old saves and all do the same
I go to the gate at the strip click X the load screen comes up and loads then Blackness FOREVER.
I think I might need to get to the strip and talk to Mister House to end the game.
Since the last time I was there I only talked to Yes Man.

So does this mean I am as far as I can go?
Is there another way into the strip?
Did I spend $70 on a game that is endless?
Will I be cancelling my BRINK pre-order?

I Love the game too bad its broke.

I completed every single quest related to the Boomers and Nellis AFB until I was idolized. I recently checked my reputation and it dropped down to "liked". I hadn't even visited Nellis AFB since I became idolized and I've never worn any kind of faction armor at any point in the game. I've never killed any Boomers nor did my companion. I went back and tried to find Jack because I remembered he would take scrap metal in exchange for fame, but he's no where to be found and no other way to restore my reputation.

A possible solution to reputation issues could be allowing players to be able to find a character that they can exchange some sort of item with in return for fame even after all the associated quests have been completed. Perhaps it would make things easier to have this character in a fixed location so people don't have to waste time running around searching.

Crashes still after patch was installed. Pre-order item weathered 10mm pistol when used shows a large explanation point around it. This makes it impossible to use without it messing up the visuals. When I visit Camp McCarren Ed-e gets attacked sometimes and other times it doesn't. Still in dark mission when I completed it won't go to next mission even though I waited few days. It won't let me talk to the elder or Hardin. NPCs doesn't realize when a character is dead it still refers to missions that can't be completed due to the characters death.

Couple of bugs I've encountered over the last few days:

There's a traveling merchant near the Lonesome Drifter that locks up my PS3 every time I try and purchase something from her. I can get into her inventory and start a transaction, but after a few seconds it'll lock up. Happens every time I've tried.

Whenever the Mysterious Stranger or Miss Fortune come out in VATS, the game sticks in VATS for up to 10 or 20 seconds. Battle continues around my character, but the Stranger or Fortune just stand there. Eventually they'll go away and the game goes back to normal, but it can be a real pain in the rear if you're swarmed by five or six Reaver Ghouls.

The Weathered 10mm turns into a huge exclamation mark if you modify it with weapon's pieces. Apparently, they didn't take the weapon customization into account with the pre-order weapons.

So I entered the Lucky 38. Now when ever I try to leave my screen goes black. This means im very stuck, and very angry. :brokencomputer: :flame: :flame:

Did you try the cowboy hat trick? Which you can buy at Crimson Caravan. I don't know if someone tried it for that issue, but I heard some people
using that to get into the Strip. Personally I didn't had any issues going anywhere when I uninstalled/reinstalled the game. Just freeses, companion glitches and slowdowns. At least I managed to finish the game.

This patch was aiming at scripting issues, quest issues, not gameplay or glitches.

These bugs might have been mentioned before

1. Victor the robot that hugs the elevator inside Lucky 38 refuse to talk to me. (Ergo: I can not change companion, or change to my special weapons and clothes that I have stored in the Presidential Suite)
This needs to be fixed cause the game came to a halt for me now. Boone is my companion, I am supposed to go to the Ceasar...Boone hate the Legion. If I ask him to wait he will surely end up in Lucky 38 and then I only have ED-E.

2. Some times when I go through a door that requires loading or I fast travel, my Humanoid companion (not Rex or ED-E) dissapear. Still, the NPC's around comment how they would like to have f.eks. Boone by their side, even though he's not there. But every time this happens, I will find them again in Vault 22 in the Oxygen Level or what it was called.

3. The dialogue with Boxcars in Nipton does not start when I talk to him during "Wheel of Fortune"

4. ED-E can some times just attack everyone on the Strip or anywhere else where the NPC's are friendly. (This is rare)

5. There are Numerous dialogue issues out in the Mojaves. I don't know if it is a bug or (sorry to say this) just sloppy work by the developers, but very often I can ask an NPC about things I'm not supposed to know about before I have gone through sertain other dialogues. Example: I have never met this guy, never heard anyone talk about him and one of the first things I can say is: "So why did you leave your family?" This is extremely annoying since there are no logic reason to ask this unless the Courier is supposed to be totally ludacris after the shot to the head by Benny. (even though I have 10 in intelligence)

6. The game freezes up way too often.
-while the loadingscreen is up.
-Just randomly while running through the Mojave desert.
-Sometimes it allso starts lagging like a &!tc#. (Often fixes itself through a new loadingscreen after walking through a door/fast travelig, or load last save.

7. Boone gave away his rifle in the Tops Casino, and never got it back. Now he will only use the weapons I give him, and I will have to supply him ammo.


Side note:
Howcome Fallout 3 was close to flawless to bugs?
Only issue I had with Fallout 3 was that the screen froze up.



Thank you!

If you kill Motor-Head before reaching Red Rock Canyon and speaking with Diane and accepting her quest, Aba Daba Honeymoon, you will never be able to learn the unarmed Khan Trick from Jack. You can still convince them to start creating more medicinal chems, but when you speak to Jack about it, although he asks for more recepes, you can't teach him anything. There should definitely be a patch so you can still teach Jack for users who created unarmed-based characters.

Also, I just found out that if you speak to Melissa - a member of the Great Khans found at Quarry Junction - and complete her quest, Don't Make a Beggar of Me, before speaking to Regis and completing Oh My Papa, you will never be able to complete Oh My Papa because she leaves the game after this, and she is needed in order to convince Papa Khan to break his alliance with Caesar's Legion.

More importantly, the broken Brotherhood of Steel quest needs to be patched. I'm sure it's been posted before; Elder McNamara won't speak to you because he is preparing his defence against Head Paladin Hardin, and Hardin won't speak to you because he's still trying to overthrow McNamara. He tells you to come back in a couple days but it doesn't matter how long you wait it's stuck like that forever. Now it's impossible to receive Power Armor training from the Brotherhood.

I haven't search the forums for any of these glitches, so if they've already been done to death I apologize in advance.

Legate's Camp:

Guns refusing to fire when close to the Legate or Caesar's Legion troops.
Ballistic fists explosions go straight through the metal walls
The pen to the left of the brahmin, guards will warp straight through when opening the gate
Legate has a weird oblivion style auto lock on lunge after shooting him in the head at close range

Vegas Strip:

-Completed all of Mr House's quests, saved just before the end battle
-Completed Gi Blues in Freeside
-Teleport back to the strip, and it's locked shut (needs a key)

Freeside:
Lags crazily when nothing happening, around The King's school and the northwest part of town

VATS:
Even with a skill above the requirement, the Sniper Rifle in VATS will miss twice in a row at point blank range (The barrel points to the right of the enemy's head)

In Freeside, there seems to be a place which, if you look at it and walk around, makes a purple shroud fall across the screen. It also affects VATS, in the way that if you target someone through the shroud, you can see the blue outline and the numbers, but you have 0% chance of hitting anything.

Outside of Broc Flower Cave, if you pick the Brock Flower right outside of the entrance, another flower will fall off every time you exit the cave.

In Camp Searchlight, Ghouls flicker in and out of existence, and sometimes materialise.

In general, Bark Scorpions can't seem to stop getting stuck in the ground.

If you jump onto some of the rocks in Goodsprings, you sometimes get stuck and flap your arms around, as if you're stuck in a loop of the landing movement.

Couple of glitches hit me this morning:

*I got the trophy for having all the companions even though I hadn't gotten Cass yet. I've gotten everyone but her, yet the trophy unlocked anyway.

*Arcade Gannon has become unrecruitable. He walks around the Lucky 38 as though he's still one of my companions, but the option to have him come with me has vanished entirely. Can't take him out of the Lucky 38 as a result. This happened after the trophy unlocked.

PS3, 160GB Slim. Not connected to internet.
Default game settings, with subtitles on. hardcoe mode enabled.

Game freezes at a rate of about once every two hours, requiring a hard reboot of the system.
*Often freezes when exiting an interior location to an outdoor location.
*Sometimes freezes when trying to enter VATS
*Sometimes freezes when exploring the wasteland (maybe rendering objects in the distance?).
*Freezes often when there are a large number of NPCs in close proximity.
- Framerate dropped tremendously when fighting legionaries during Boone's "Forgot to Remember to Forget" quest, often causing a crash.
- Framerate drop when Pacer fights NCR in final leg of "King's Gambit", again, often causing a crash.
- Framerate drop at McCarran (where the tents are set up).

Other glitches
*NPCs "sleeping in midair" near beds (misalignment).
*NCR rangers pouring from the ceiling in the barracks area of the resort house at Camp Golf, after using one of the beds.
*Companions running away from me (not attacking anyone) after leaving an interior into the wastes. Happened with ED-E, Arcade Gannon, and Boone.
*Ground textures occasionally being "stretched" so it looks blurred. So far, it's only been desert ground texture.
*Small creatures falling through floor during combat.
*ED-E attacking Keith unprovoked at Aerotech building.
*Dialog option "we should travel together" when trying to rehire Arcade Gannon when ED-E or Rex is in my party. dismissing them will cause the option to reappear when talking to Arcade again. Rehiring ED-E or Rex after taking on Arcade doesn't appear to be a problem.
*Trying to use a weapon repair kit on a Service Rifle with the +50% condition mod causes the weapon's condition to degrade instead of improve.

Dear Fallout team,
I am currently trying to complete Veronica's side quest but am unnable to acquire two of the technologies. i was able to collect the range finder but i am unable to collect the pulse gun because i had already explored vault 34 before recieving her quest and by not knowing the importance of the pulse gun i sold it, and am not able to find it any where. also i had completed the NCR quest for vault 22 and had helped the ghoul lady clear all of the data on the terminal's data on the plant tech, so needless to say i am stuck and unable to continue. Any help on how to fix this without having to start a new game would be appriciated.

I have the same problem and nothing seems to help it. I had the same issue with Fallout 3 and it would frequently cause the entire PS3 to turn off with the three "beeps" of failure.

I'm experiencing almost all of these glitches, with some additional ones:

When picking locks or gambling, the animations will be invisible even though you can interact with the lock/card game/slot etc.

I have found that quitting the game and restarting helps, as well as having multiple save files to try from.

I still love the game and this does not alter my opinion of this otherwise amazing game. I've been a die hard fan since 1997.

Here are the problems I'm experiencing on the PS3 version.

Since from around 5 hours of gameplay, I've had occasional freezes but fortunately they were quite uncommon until about 30 hours of gameplay. After that I started to experience more lag and framerate issues espicially in the open areas. This is all familiar from Fallout 3 GOTY version, and so far I've been able to live with it and managed to enjoy the story and side quests, which I think are even better than in Fallout 3.

However, the real issue is that the game has WAY too many bugs in it. A few times now I've had to backtrack hours of gameplay because a quest or a follower has bugged. First are the quests, sometimes they can't be finished due to a NPC missing a dialogue option it should have, or NPC:s go missing. Second are the followers/companions. After recruiting Arcade I took him to places where he initiates dialogue, which should later trigger his quest. I triggered five of them and still haven't got the quest from him and I have progressed far enough in the main story to obtain it. Then there's Veronica, after recruiting her she won't even initiate a dialogue in any of the places she should, making her quest impossible to start.

After all these faults the game has I still insist on going on untill I got the Great Khan bug, where 3 Khans appear next to me trying to initiate dialogue making my screen zoom in, and after that i cannot use the 3rd person view and my character keeps flying a bit of the ground, forcing me to load a save. It happens on various locations and after an hour or so gameplay after load.

I waited for this game exited and I was sure it would at least work better than 3 did, and 3 actually had very little issues outside the DLC on PS3 in the end.

This game, even though it has the perfect basic idea, characters, storyline and environment is horribly broken at the moment. I would very much like to play the game through several times, like I did with Fallout 3, but currently there is just too many faults and I'm pretty much unable to do it. I have never EVER played a game even 1/5 this faulty before, and I'm wondering how is it possible to even release something like this on the market.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-fallout-new-vegas-face-off

While I was surfing the net, looking for I don't know what I found this really interesting Tech article on Fallout NV. (There is also a link to
the Fallout 3 anolysis)

So it's a pretty damn big face off between the Xbox and PS3 version of the game, its looking at major points like frame rate, bugs, graphics
disc content, comparison with the Oblivion and Fallout 3 engine. It also may explain some of the problems that the game is facing (BUGS)
This website also as a lot of in debt anolysis of most of the multi-platform games. It also how much space which component of a games take on both platforms.
I'm gonna spoil a little and say that the game is running a bit better on XBOX but, due to the greater space storage of the PS3, there are more art work details. Which is a nice touch if
you like inside details.

Next time a game comes out on both console, I'll be sure to look up that website before I buy it, to make sure I'm not getting money [censored] (FEAR, Assassin's creed, Orange box anyone?)

You guys should look it up to, it's always good to see which companies are making the effort of using the blu-ray space and the PS3 capabilities to their max potential.

Spent a big part of the night reading those articles so... have fun!

My glitch is that I cannot enter the Northern part of the New Vegas Strip (where the Lucky 38 and Gomorrah are located) at all from Freeside, when I try to, a black screen comes up after the loading screen. When I enter from the other part of the the New Vegas Strip, I can usually walk around for (literally) a second before the game freezes. Also, I cannot load save files that I saved when in the New Vegas Strip (not just autosave files). Every friend I have which owns Fallout: New Vegas (4 people) have experienced this glitch and cannot play the game, because of it.

I've experienced a lot of other bugs, but this is the only one which just prevents me from playing the game.

I mean Fallout 3 froze on me a couple of times, but for the most part it was fine.

Ditto. Extreme lag, frequent freezing, and glitches when using weapons (i.e. Cowboy Repeater will not fire for 5-10 sec after reload) makes this game unplayable. I have a slimline PS3 and this is the first game I've played on it. Thouroughly disappointed with this game. Bethesda, can I have my $60 back???

Development staff,

I have 24 pounds of unusable quest item garbage in my inventory. From the Great Kahn (Who are all dead) Weapons Cache to 4 of the 5 snow globes (Mr House is Dead). Can you please either make quest items have no weight or make quest items that are no longer usable undroppable, PLEASE?

Moreover, I found all of the snow globes after like 20 hours of looking and to my GREAT disappointment I did not get the Achievement, I don't care if I can get the 2000 caps each but WHY does the achievement not occur after finding the last snow globe. It is called "Find All" not "Turn in All" and as mentioned if Mr House is Dead or incapacitated and Yes Man has upgraded all of the Securitrons can you allow the player to add the Globes to the stand themselves or just drop them?

All that said, I love the game, loads of fun and after doing just 2 of the endings, can't wait to do the rest.
