I am having major save game issues. I lost 4-5 hours of game time. I have looked all around steam and can not for the life of me figure out how to update fallout new vegas. Can someone please walk me through how to use steam. PLEASE!

It is automatic. But it does not do it all the time. I got the patch the day after it was released.

You must not run the game, but steam only. And eventually after few minutes it will patch.

Game Library right click Fallout NV and select Properties then on the tap you will see Update

Thanks you guys. When I look at the update "history" this is what it says...

Oct 21, 2010First Fallout: New Vegas patch has arrived
PC Gamer

Since Fallout: New Vegas was released in the US on Tuesday, players have been discovering a raft of weird and wonderful bugs. The good news is that the game was patched this morning, and more updates are planned for the near future. Read on for the patch details, and a round up of some of the most freakish bugs.

Today's update, which will apply automatically when you launch the game, is said to fix "quest and scripting issues." There's no mention of fixing "moonwalking dog issues", or "dog eyeball placement issues" just yet, but speaking to Kotaku, Bethesda's marketing man, Peter Hines has said "we are currently working on releasing patches/updates as quickly as possible for Fallout: New Vegas,", so further updates should be coming soon.

For now, people are still finding nightmarish examples of reality gone-wrong. The most remarkable bug was uncovered by Shodan210, and quickly thrown up on Reddit. It's somehow funny and incredibly creepy at the same time. David Lynch would struggle to match the weirdness of this slow talking man's gently rotating noggin. Check it out.

WHY does it say cloud support currently disabled. But in my settings it says it is set to update automatically. I have not seen a patch download or anything like that. And I am having consistent save game issues.

Is there some way I can check if I did indeed get the patch?

Got to find what the current version is as of now (bunch numbers)

Then see if you have that version

But why is it saying cloud support disabled? WTH is going on? How can a game be updated thru steam thru cloud if it is disabled?

Guess you never saw the infamous video

Valve had to disable it was causing bugs in the game

Then how do I get the update to fix these save game issues?

Furthermore, how do I figure out what version I have and should have?

This svcks. I am severely disappointed in this game. What is the point of playing if I get set back 4 or 5 hours everytime..all those quests and achievements just gone and nobody can seem to help me figure out if I have even received the proper updates.

Steam cloud is not the update system. It is completely different. It's for save files.

So what could possibly be the reason why I am losing saved games? I am autosaving and manual saving and when I log in to play next they are just GONE!
