Here are the issues I have experienced since the patch.

- Constant drops in framerate and second-long hangups
- Flashing textures
- Widespread clipping issues with entities throughout the entire game (I love how when I touch things, everything around it slowly floats up a few inches)
- NPC's spawning halfway or sometimes completely in the ground
- Unresponsive NPC's (Not being able to talk to them when I should be able to, enemies wandering blindly with no reaction to me being near or shooting at them)
- Multiple system crashes, both full system lock up, and straight to PS3 menu crash
- Unresponsive controls, sometimes momentary, sometimes until I change weapons
- Pip-Boy won't come up during battle for 5-10 seconds, hot-keys wont work either. Frame-rate is still "good" though, the movement controls are responding, but the Pip-Boy/hot-keys are not.

PS 3 version: been doing side quests, already been in vegas strip, but now every time i try to enter the game locks up. i've tried over ten times. with companions, without, with radio, without. it just goes to black screen when i try to get into vegas now.

WTF

I ended up registering just to post my glitches. Here are my issues since the patch. Before the patch, freezing and slow frame rates after about 5 hours of play. After the patch:

- Long hangups
- Lost my companion
- System has crashed 4 times in 1 hour, all while walking around in Freeside (game froze and had to do a hard boot of the system.)
- Very unresponsive controls; can't hit the VATS button and get any response
- Earlier, tried to go through the door to the Kings side of Freeside and game locked up every single time.

I have been playing fallout new vegas on the PS3

The Glitches I have found so far are:

fallout computer screen as scope very annoying you cart see any thing but a blank fallout computer screen

freezing and crashing

randomly ending the game and sending you back to PlayStation Main Menu

some plants randomly spawn in mid air then fall into the ground and disappear again and again and so on

slow motion for you but every thing gos normally

getting stuck in graphics / half in and half out also getting in side rocks with no way out

quest markers on people you cart talk to or dead people

any one got any of these Glitches or know of any more?

I have an 80 gig fat PS3 with the latest patches for the OS and the game. It's on a well ventilated area and is cleaned for dust regularly.

I entered one of the casinos and when I left, I was in possession of Boone's rifle. I can't get it back to him and I can't use it. Had to end up buying him a sniper rifle from the gun runners (luckily I made a killing at Tops).

Fixed ED-E and have him as a companion, the quest to bring him to Old Lady Gibson is still present.

Completed the food processor machine for Cpl. Farber mission in Mccarren Terminal prior to the patch. It shows 1 pot is needed but I had 2 and was able to fix it. It's still present on my mission list, as is the spice and meat missions which I also completed. This happened both before and after the patching

Buying/selling anything with Contreras in the Mccarren stock room creates a 1 minute freeze-up when finishing the conversation with him.

Game freezes every time I try to enter Zapp's Neon Signs in the South Vegas Ruins.
Game freezes every time I try to head out to Boulder City from the 188 trading post. This is after the patch. I typically have to circumvent 188 altogether to head into Boulder City.

When leaving Nipton on my way to Novac, I encountered some jumping sprites. When I approached the train yard, a corpse came flying out of nowhere and landed a few feet in front of me. I reloaded at the same spot and started walking again. This time, 3 legionnaires dropped down from the sky at the same location then started walking single file up the road to Novac. I reloaded again and set up my phone to record this. The legionnaires did not appear, but I was able to get the scorpion corpse come out of the sky.

My apologies if I cannot post youtube videos.

The problem I'm having with NV is that when I try to enter the part of the strip with theLucky 38 and the Gamorrah my game freezes and I have to turn off the ps3 to be able to do anything. There seems to be an actual radius that extends down to just before the Tops sign in the section south of there so I can't talk to the guy for the Talent Pool quest either. I am completely unable to finish the game because of this. I have tried deleting the utility data and not installing the patch and I have tried deleting it and reinstalling the patch. NOTHING works. The only way I can even enter the strip is through the Mcarran Airfield tram.

before the patch i had been working on "The House always wins, III" everything was fine i helped house update the securitrons

after the patch:

the quests is no longer flagged and about 1 day after i installed the patch Victor attacked me in the strip, which i thought was odd. I proceeded to go the the office of Mr. House to talk with him about anything that may have been some help on the quest and when i got to the top all his robots started attacking me and i cant talk with House.

im upset becaue now i wont be able to turn in my snow globes and i have to go a different route than i intended to.

I am aware that certian actions will hinder a quest, but i didnt do anything to throw off the trust of Mr. House which leads me to beleive that the patch incorperated some kind of glitch that made me unable to complete this.

Question: is there any other way to turn in snow globes besides giving them to his securitron?

Why your at it, upload your saved game files, and detailed steps on how to reproduce the bugs. In doing this you'll completely bypass the incompetent QA testers who missed all these bugs first around.

Of course then you'll have paid ￡40 to be a games tester.

I'm experiencing a strange bug. I just got the House Always Wins I ans since I left my first visit to the lucky 38, my game freezes when even I look at the area to the left of Lucky 38, looking form Gamorra. It's really strange, but I can go about my business, but as soon as I look at that are from any place in the game (to be fair, anywhere in new Vegas, I haven't been able to get out of the strip without looking at it and freezing). I don't even need to be in the section with the lucky 38 and Gamorra. It's really too bad, as I have to stop playing until that problem is fixed.

Well, I am not experiencing any particularly unique bugs or issues, but I thought I would go ahead and participate in the dialogue anyway.

I have been playing New Vegas on a (fat) 80gb model, all up to date on patches and such. My main issues are as follows:

1. The infamous game freezes/lockups: At first (the first few "sessions" I played) this wasn't a huge issue. I would get a freeze every other session, which is not terribly unusual, lots of games freeze from time to time. Then it increased to ever session I was guaranteed at least one freeze. This morning, however, it has increased significantly. The PS3 froze up 4 times while playing this game over the course of a few hours. Like I said, games freeze, but this is much much more frequent than any other freezes I have while doing anything else on the system. It is very disrupting to the experience.

2. The infamous hiccups: Like many others have said, I get many hiccups while roaming around. I won't get into too much detail here since I have seen them mentioned many many times as a known issue. The one thing I will add, however, is that through my gaming experience of playing through Fallout 3 several times, the hiccups weren't nearly as bad. They only occurred occasionally and were not terribly disruptive. I only mention this because some people have cited the engine port as the issue and have stated that Fallout 3 had the same issue. In my experience thus far, New Vegas has a very constant almost clock work hiccup pattern as I roam the land. With F3 it only seemed to occur occasionally.

That's it. Like I said, nothing terribly unique or unusual here, but I thought I would add my experience to the growing number of first hand accounts here. Might as well let people know how widespread the issues are.

That being said, I do find the issues rather disruptive to the experience, but I do not feel the game is by any means unplayable... at least not with the issues I have encountered thus far. I am enjoying the game quite a bit and my sympathy goes out to those who have encountered bugs that are sever enough as to render their experience unplayable.

This game is broken. What's more frustrating is that aside from it's innumerable technical problems, it's a very fun and entertaining game. I wish I could play it for more than an hour without having to hard restart my PS3 due to a freeze or crash. I find the crashes are coming more frequently now, and after going through the 5 minute hard restart, and game reboot process, I may play 3 minutes before having to do it again.
Thank you Bethesda and Obsidian for giving me the privilege of spending my hard earned money to beta test your game.

I am a HUGE fan of Fallout. I still play every game in the series (excluding BoS). I love Bethesda and Obsidian but this is just absurd. I have put in over 80 hours and now the game is totally unplayable. I have had to turn my PS3 off and on because of freezing at least 25 times now and I'm about to give up trying to play. I have tried wearing the Old Cowboy hat (it got me back on the strip so I figured it might help), I deleted the game data and reinstalled the game 3 times now and I stopped trying to interact with ED-E. My character is in front of the Lucky 38 casino and ED-E is floating next to Victor. I thought the game freezing was because I was trying to interact with ED-E but I just loaded my save (yet again) and within 5 seconds it locked up (yet again). Thanks for the AWESOME game guys! I'm sooo glad that I shelled out $85+ for the collectors edition and an extra $35+ for the collectors edition guide (which is useless now that I can't play the game). Thanks for giving me an opportunity to give you $120+ for a very nice paper weight! In conclusion... GIVE US A PATCH RIGHT NOW TO FIX THE MAJOR ISSUES AT LEAST! KTHANXBYE

P.S. Yes I AM QQ-ing and yeah, all caps do make me cool.

downloaded patch still having problems with lag, and freezing. Started new game late last night so far no issues.

If their team of "300 testers" missed all of these bugs then they need to be fired.

Im assuming that they misheard the project lead the entire project when they thought he said find "Mugs"

Consequently you won't find a single cup of tea or coffee in Fallout NV

lol. That sounds about right.

The Strip - When entering The Strip its starts to load....then freezes at black screen. It is not a matter of the gates locked - strip won't load. So no longer able to enter strip. A web search came up with a few others having this problem. "A Prophet of Fortune" mentioned the same problem under another thread.

I've been playing my game since launch.

problems im having is freezeing after leaving a building. The game will studder for a few seconds, go to normal then freeze or run at 3 frames per second for a long time and not realy respond to the controls. I have to hit pause and drop the controller as soon as I see it starting and wait for the HDD light to go off. I've had this issue with Fallout 3 also. No change in this even after the update.

multiples of something not showing up in my invintory or at all. I've seen others report this also. Biggest issue right now is that I know I have rad-a-way but it dosent show up in my invintory.

Game dosent always respond to hitting R2 for V.A.T.S. mode. Ill hit it multiple times before it goes, buy which time the creature is stabbing me in the face.

I changed my HUD color to green but it dosent save that color. Every time I restart the game after turning off the system its back to being orange.

If I gain enough EX points durring a conversation to level up I have to quickly end the conversation or else I loose the ability to use my skill points. Its like the screen times out waiting to be used.

head twitching. Lots of peoples heads are twitching all over the place when you look at them. Like they are jacked up on chems and coffee and have to pee realy bad.

Thats all I can think of right now, Ill add more when I think of it.

Merging Items=> i had the same problem with the Walmart DLC installed the starting binoculars were merged with the binoculars beside the rollercoaster/casino rooftop. I will try to put them in a container to see if the reappear. thanks.

Well Where do I start???

The Terrain doesnt Render until Im completely on it, Though its not happening as much as it was Prior to the First Patch, it still is happening.

Ive also find between the Coyote Den, and the emergency Trainyard (Cant remember the exact name used in the game) in the Area with the train tracks behind Jack Rabbit Springs, there are a bunch of Bark Scorpions, and half of them are "stuck" in the ground at different angles (Its not just there, but it seems to constantly happen in this area when I go through it)

Also the Occasional Game Freeze when your moving to different areas where you have to restart the entire console.

Cards for Caravan being bought but getting stuck in the inventory

Characters Mouth's not moving while they are talking

Mines and other items clipping and just never returning



Now while I know how to fix half these problems, I find it very frustrating that Im the one who needs to fix it, I love Fallout New Vegas, just like the ones prior to it, But I mean half these problems are the exact same problems that were in Fallout 3 (Even a few that go back to Oblivion) so One would have thought that over what the last 4-5 years that these problems would have been worked out.

Edit: Whoops nvm wrong forum.

my buggs so far

1 if got 2 of same item bt the got same damage to them the dont show up so cant merge them into 1 item iv got 2 sherifs hats and i cant drop 1 there is stiil 1 in inventory i pick it up antd it not showing 2
same for stormchacer hats

2 graffic lag on hellios one front door takes a few secs to apperar

3 and the normal fallout 3 bugs crashing and sutch

temp solution for crash load and save manualy then leave game delet autosave then it works ok

Dropping it might work aswell. It might just be a "display problem" on the pipboy.

I'm also starting to think that sometimes i'm duplicating an item. Don't know how, but it keeps happening in the lucky 38 suite( i always store all my items there, so this variable might be biased). I'm pretty sure i only had 1 set of binoculars. In my inventory, i had only 1 pair of binoculars. When i tried transfering it into one of the desks, i suddenly had 1 in my inventory AND 1 in the desk. I've encountered this glitch a couple of times with other items aswell. (too bad i don't know how it works ) .... But i can't rule out that i picked up the items up without remembering them and the "merging items" bug is playing tricks on me.

Well, I made it to the end, I ended the game after 65 hours of play. I planned to do a lot more leveling up and exploration, but I got really tired of going back and forward between different areas to find were the heck was my companion (yes indeed 1/2 of the time Cass would disappear into thin air, I'd go back 2-3 times and then, if I was lucky she would be back, or not. Then I would have to reload. ED-E ghostly presence/absence prevented me from helping Rex. That and the game, during the last quest was plagued with bugs and slowdowns. VATS would not work, or work 15-20 secs late. But hey, I was lucky enough to make it to the end, kinda sad I couldn't wrap up some things. Maybe I'll restart someday, but not until there is a worthy patch.

After completing ED-E My Love, ED-E won't move or attack after being sent back to you by the Brotherhood or the Followers.
