I can't get mick and ralph to open a trade window, they go through the dialog as normal, but the trade window never opens, this was working then stopped ( I walked in and out of the store), patch didn't change anything.

in freeside, kings gang members come running up to me and become the focus for a second, but nothing happens, no dialog, etc.. not sure when this started, bufft before they would give me a talk that the king supports me and give me some trinket.

companions, even when on passive, still aggro everything and chase after stuff

PS3 - Bought the game yesterday and immediately installed the patch.

I played for about 15 minutes, and the game froze when I went into VATS in the schoolhouse next to Doc's place. I had to hard shutdown the PS3. I restarted and it played glitch free (a little lag two or three times, completely forgivable) for 3.5 hours.

I get to Primm and talk to the military guys outside no problem. When I crossed the bridge and walked inside, three guys shot at me. I killed them all (they were Merc I think?). Fine. I go into the Casino, and EVERYONE starts shooting at me. I wasn't wearing any faction specific clothing and I had only killed the Powder Gangers in the first area (Powder Gangers hate me now) in the Ringo side quest. I tried every type of clothing. I tried no clothing. Merc..NPC...Powder Ganger...Vault...Naked... they shot at me regardless. I can't even go talk to these people to get more quests because they keep shooting at me. I went in with a StealthBoy and they'll talk to me, but they have guns drawn. As soon as the StealthBoy wears off, they start firing.

UGH

I read some of the posts in this thread but hadn't seen the glitch that has happened to me.



I bought the CE and I had just talked to Mr. House. He told me to wipe out the brotherhood which started a new quest. I had already become friendly to the brotherhood and had done their missions so I decided to walk in and kill them all to get all of the loot. I did so and upon returning to Freeside I tried to go through the gate to enter The Strip.


The glitch is this. For some reason the gate that leads to the strip says that I now need a key to enter it.

If anyone else has had this problem and fixed it, let me know please! I'm already 30+ hours into the game!!!

Was doing "Still in the dark" for the BoS, walked into Vault 3 with veronica.....now she wont leave.....she refuses to move....and yes....shes on follow....advice, dont interact with vault 3 with a companion...leave ur desired chewbacca outside, if you dont have a high speech...then u might die...but atleast ur companion will b where u left them :glare:

My sniper rifle switched it's ammo usage from .308 to .308HP on it's own. When I attempt to change back to .308 or even .308AP they will not load into the gun, even though I have large quantities of both those types of ammo.

ok so now everytime I press R2 no matter when or where, it freezes

Apart from the freezes, here is what I'm experiencing:

Boone gets confused sometimes, and won't use his rifle even when set to it.
Guns refusing to fire when reloaded/ fired while reloading (shotguns mainly).
World mesh texture twisted and warped when looking out from the mouth of the dinosaur shop in Novac (occassionally).
Plants falling through the world and disappearing (only happened once).
Nightstalkers can get stuck in the ground and still hurt you.
Hollow heads after getting a headshot.
Freezing after getting out of the monorail station.
VATS sometimes doesn't open at longer ranges, only working at close range.

I'll keep posting as I experience more and more bugs/glitches .

Well, here is my unfortunate story.

For the first few days, the game worked pretty good. There is always the annoying hiccups when you walk across the wastelands, which happens every 45-60 sec or so, but that's manageable .
A few bugs, like ED-E getting stuck EVERYWHERE, every time, rock, mountains, walls, doors etc. I had also a few crashes, the ones where the
PS button is not working anymore and that you have to close the PS3 manually.

Then, I went to Camp Forlorn Hope and did the missions, when it came to the last one, the attack, on my way to the RV with Sergeant I don't remember who, the
game started to slow down, lag, bug etc. The pip-boy menu was ultra slow or just not working, After a few minutes of lagging, the game just froze completely. I reloaded and tried 3-4 times.
Never made it. Then took an hour or so pause, tried again, same thing. Then, I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. Which worked fine, for a while.
After this first major bug, lags and crashes started to happen more often, my companion getting lost, or disappearing, loosing equipment. These bugs where happening but not to often.

Then the patch came and it's where things really got bad. For the first half hour or so, the game really got better, even the graphics looked better, the pip-boy menu was fluid and fast, dialogs, menus, everything
was working better. Then crash again. Since then, I have crashes once per hour. Sometime when I get out of fast travel my companion (Veronica or ED-E) just start running somewhere, running very fast because I can't follow him. Then he comes back. Sometimes, ED-E just won't react, can't talk to him, won't move. Either that or I can talk to him but he won't follow me. Which happens often. When I gave him to Lorenzo, I lost all the equipment I had on him, which is a lot. Several hours later, some of the equipment came back out of the blue. Then worst of all, when I entered vault 11 ED-E ran of fighting and never came back. Looked for him in the vault stuck or dead, never found him. I didn't reload right away, never found him again, went to Primm or the lucky 38, waited days still nothing. I still have the skill and I can't take Rex because it seems ED-E is following me, but I can't see him. I tried to fast travel, reload, restart, uninstall/reinstall, nothing. Still no ED-E went back to the vault, he's not there.

I'm 56 hours into the game and now, sound is all screwed up, just stopping for a minute and coming back. This happens often. In new Vegas, in the strip, 2 songs (the same one) are playing at the same time, but with 1 or 2 sec of difference. The game slowdowns often, lags a lot when I walk, V.A.T.S is really slow, takes time to do what I ask, sometime it just won't work. Loadings are longer and sometime it crashes. Sometime the game freezes for 1 minute or 2 and then things go back to normal. The more I play the worse it gets, all of those problems are happening more often. It gets to a point where the game is barely playable. I tried uninstall/reinstall a few time to see if it would get better but it's pointless.

I also tried fallout 3 and some other games, to see if it was coming from my 60gig ps3, but every other game worked perfectly.

So that's pretty much it. I hope a fix will soon come out, I'm 50+ hours in the game and I already started once, won't do it again.

I was in freesdie and as soon as I exited the Ultra Luxe heading back to the Lucky 38 I noticed my character would randomly shoot and jump. Also when I tried to shoot it would wither be laggy or not shoot at all, and when in VATS it just stayed in the slo-mo for a minute or two without shooting at all. Hope this helps you guys fix it up.

it would seem that i can no longer lockpick or hack terminals.

when i try to lockpick a blank terminal screen blocks the camera preventing me from knowing what im doing.

when im hacking i will only get the point were the screen becomes fuzzy and then no terminal screen will appear.

this is a crippling glitch for the game just as well and freezes and crashes, especially if your one of the more stealth or exploitative character. this happened after i was going to kill the fiends in vault 3 and at level 16 and has yet to go away and only rarely allowing me to hack but never lockpick.

Same thing happened to me! :cryvaultboy: It's really ticking me off. I love using V.A.T.S!!! This is really ruining the game for me. I did not have problems before this stupid so called patch.

just picked up Raul, i can't get him to repair anything, he keeps saying to meet him at his shack, we were IN his shack! tried going in and out, etc. nada
if I tell him to take a hike, then ask him to repair, it works.

and tonight has svcked, have had to restart the PS3 every 5 minutes for the past 3 hours, game keeps locking up in random places.

I just completed the Debt Collector quest where you kill the the guy... who just so happened to be in the Wrangler at the time. I got the quest complete, got the free room... went in to check it out and now..... EVERY TIME i leave the room my PS3 stalls. I get a black screen following the loading screen. No big deal.. I saved about 15-20min prior but That svcks. I know some people are having different and worse issues but.. Just thought I would bring it to the table.

80GB PS3 fat, with patch 1.01.
Game freezes while loading new areas, typically exiting a small area into the wasteland, but sometimes from moving to the second floor in a building. I can have up to 10 lockups in the loading screen (roulette wheel keeps on spinning though) in a 4 hour play season. This does not seem to be affected by how long I have played for, as it can happen immediately after loading the save file.
Game freezes when I shift from enemy to enemy in VATS sometimes. Enemy type does not seem to matter.
Textures don't always load all the way, most notably at the Raided Farmstead, in the destroyed trailer.
Game lags exceptionally when starting combat with non-hostile npcs in towns.
Weapons don't fire when equipped via hotkey (d-pad) or when ammo type is changed. Hitting both the fire button and VATS has no effect for some time, up to a minute or so on a few occasions. (one of them being at the quarry, not cool)
Missing equipment after visiting casinos, mainly in the items my companions carry.
If I open the pipboy after leaving a merchant and purchasing enough items to become over-burdened, I can sometimes run for a short time before the game slows my speed.
Companions seem to dislike terrain. They are constantly going to great lengths to avoid anything they may have to jump onto or step over.
VATS can sometimes completely freeze my game and system.
NPC at the gun runners camp (scrap metal) dissapeared right after I talked to him. Still looking for him.
Told Boone to go home so I can begin other companions side missions, he has not gone home, nor to the casinos. Missing completely with some of my gear. Noteable this is not the first time I have told him to go home, and the other two times it went off without an issue.
Arcade Gannon went missing after a loading screen lockup while fast traveling from Sharecrops to Miguel's Pawn Shop. Cannot find him, cannot get a new companion.
Long fuse dynamite, on occasion, either does not detonate at all or is falling through the terrain and plummeting into the abyss.
After being attacked with melée attacks (either humanoid or animal) a meshing issue causes a giant polygon octopus to grow out of my charcters arm until he his hit again. I am not kidding.
Sometimes in first person mode, the weapon in hand is held upward at a 45 degree angle, while still fireable and still shoots strait ahead. All you can really see is the charaters arm and the side/ rear of the gun.
The colonel at Hoover Dam goes missing in-between doors for long periods of time, sometimes requiring a re-load of the save file. (forget her name, not playing right now)
Rex likes to get stuck at a 45 degree angle in terrain while chasing enemies.
NPCs were invisible in Cottonwood Cove until I killed them. (not Nightkin invisible, I still had a percentage in VATS to hit them, the models just didn't load)
This is sadly just the begining. I am about 50 hours in, and can't play for more than about 30 min at a time without a freeze in a loading screen. I have forced my way through this game out of pure dedication to the series, but this game is bringing me far more pain than pleasure. I am constantly reloading saves because of a bug or being stuck in a piece of iron on the side of the road or a freeze etc. but the final straw was the missing companions. Power armor is really the last thing I wanted before I started over, but even that is gone now.
Obsidian/ Bethesda the game has promise, but god is it a bear to play.

All this comming from a guy who played the GOTY edition 3 times over to get 91% of the achievements.

I think the R2 freeze bug is related to the weapon Hotkey slot, which is in turn related to the Weathered 10mm pistol from the "classic pack" add on. After i modified the Weathered 10mm pistol with the silencer all hell broke out. My character was encased in a giant red ! . When i tried to allocate my new silenced shooter to a hotkey slot the game feezes up. Tried & tested on older saves before said modification had taken place. Alas, the same result, instant freeze/crash. So there you have it, 40+ hours down the swanny. Never mind, my love for Fallout & Bethesda go deep.

Although i did have a bad run in with Obsidian in the past, namely KOTOR 2, the jurys still out !

I found a bug with the "For the Republic, Part 2" mission. (It's actually called Alone in the Dark I belive, but it affects the For the Republic, Part 2 mission.)
The Elder of the Brotherhood of Steel ask you to visit three vaults, and get few parts from there so you can fix some system in thier bunker, after you get all those three parts you go to some random dude who you give him the parts, and then he tells you to go and tell the Elder that the system will be fixed.
Now, here's the bug. you speak with the Elder and you tell him that the system have been fixed by now, and you complete the mission, be then nothing happens. there's a opoptional mission which is to help the High Paladin to take over the bunker, you speak with him after you complete the quest and he then tells you that he found a way to take over the bunker and to be the new Elder, but he tells you to come back later.
So, I went outside and I skipped about three days came back in and nothing changed.
There's no dialoug chat, they just say the same setence: The High Paladin says that he's busy and he will be able to speak with you in a few days, and when you try to speak with the Elder, he tells you that he's busy defending himself or something like that.
I skipped a week, came back in and nothig changed.
The thing is that I can't continue nor finish the game in the way I want. in order to complete this mission I need to blow thier bunker, which I don't want to do.

I do really really like this game, and the patch has pretty much aided in reducing the lag/freezing, but the thing that finally ticked me off was (bout 3 hrs ago) Cass losing her infinite shotgun and me not being aware of it. Now I can't go back to what she was due to the bug. Probably a small thing, but ontop of everything else? Ticked me off. Going in and out of casinos is pretty much a given so this glitch is pretty ballbusting.

I have the same problem only I am on "The House always Wins III" the part where you had to go get the boomers to cooperate with you. I completed the quest and now it says the strip requires a key to enter. I am 40+ hours in and level 28 if I have to restart I will be seething!

I have closed up the final task in the eyesight to the blind quest, I go back to the Elder to tell him I've set up the transponder in Black Mountain, says that I'll receive my power armor suit training, screen fades for a bit and comes back only now my character is simply stuck in that spot, all I can do is move camera up and down. I've tried it many times and still the same result.

I was wondering how many people are having AI getting stuck in the ground? Plus my friend can't load New Vegas Strip.

A.I, NPC's getting stuck in the ground has to do with the geometry. Been around since Fallout 3. Lot of people can't load the strip without a cowboy hat, it seems. That I can't even explain.

The main issue I'm having is the problem with For The Republic, Part 2. I completed You'll Know When It Happens for Mr. House before this. I go to talk to the colonel and she tells me to talk to Ranger Grant to prepare for the President's visit (which already happened when I worked for Mr. House). There are no dialogue options available with Grant and I cannot tell the colonel anything. Therefore, I cannot go any further into the main quest for the NCR.

OK so I too am experiencing a lost Sniper Rifle from Boone. While getting into a fight I noticed Boone kept using some spiked knuckles, and never used his gun. Then when Going through my inventory I noticed that I had his gun?! It would not appear in my list when trying to put it back into his inventory, and If I drop it no only will Boone not pick it up but I cant pick it up either, except to trag it around with L3.

Only bright side to this is now my hardcoe mode is more hardcoe because now I have to supply my companion with bullets. Hopefully we will get some sort of patch to give us the option to put it back or make it appear back where it is supposed to be. Cause I'm getting really low on ammo now.

in the REPCONN Factory the Q-5 isnt hanging, its on the ground and you have to pretty much trick the game by looking straight down while crouching to pick it up. Trying C-4 might blow it outta the caseing but i had a helluvatime getting it out, finally did though and its awesome. i know the gun issuppose to be hanging

I had this happen once, i think it was because I didn't have enough caps on me, I had just bought/repaired a bunch of things and was down to almost no caps, I reloaded my save, didn't buy anything so I had still had a ton of caps and walked in no problem. never had the issue since, but I have always had at least 2k caps on me. I also bought a passport for [censored] and grins.
