POLL: The savegame bug

Post » Fri May 21, 2010 1:12 am

I just got it, the only save I have working right now is way back from 4 or 5 days ago. I'm wondering if this "DLC not found" crap has to do with trying to mod the Weathered 10mm Pistol so I think I'm gonna start over and NOT mod that gun. Its pissed me off royally but the time I've had so far was such a blast that I can't bring myself to get rid of the game yet.

if your haveing alot of freezes then drop the current follower and send them back to their town go adventure on for a bit then go back to get the follower , it work for the godly amount of freezes i was getting with boone, another with save file being corrupted try not to save going in and out wait or sleep and apone entering and exiting areas , do not reply on auto saves , never trust what you dont do yourself life in general follows that. save often yes poor game if you do it more then ten minutes everytime but i have only once had a corrupt file cause of auto save not the save files them selves, so yeah game on i havent had a problom with that other then boone freezing my game up , got rid of him then got him back seems to work fine for me.


The problem most 360 gamers are experiencing, and the one being discussed here, is not game crashes or freezes, but save game bugs. It also doesn't matter if you do manual saves for the most part. Manual saves helped me when I first got the glitch because only my autosave was glitched, but it can randomly infect one or more of your manual saves as well. Many people have their autosave and one of their manuals blocked, while some have all 6 or 7 or more of theirs blocked because of the glitch. The number of saves it infects seems to be random on a case to case basis.

It has nothing to do with modding the pistol. Modding the pistol makes that square with the exclamation appear, but does nothing besides that. In fact, many people who don't even have the DLC still receive the same glitch message.

I agree that it's not anything you do or don't do in a game. I didn't do the "Come Fly with Me" mission, and I've had the error on several tries.

I think it's natural that everyone assumes that whatever they just did before they got the error (post hoc ergo propter hoc).

I agree with that now knowing that it isn't just the "Come Fly With Me" mission.

Damn, I am not playing this game at all until I get my saves fixed, or at a very minimum the assurance that it won't happen again. There's nothing I hate more than [censored] annoyances. I can deal with that stuff enough in real life, but this is supposed to be relief from that, not an addition.

For all those who have not run into this situation yet and think we're just a bunch of complainers... You wait, you'll get yours.

In the mean time my solution was to turn it off for a while and hope a fix is delivered soon.... (doesn't mean I'm not playing Fallout 3... Because I'm playing through that bad boy like mad on the pc :) )

This is why I stopped playing. It could be easy enough to do that Vault 21 glitch to get back to my lvl, but then I'll just have to do all the same quests over again, and there's no guarantee that the DLC glitch won't strike even if I avoid the Come Fly With Me quest. So I think I'll just sit on my hands and wait to either return it or until they get a patch to fix this.

Horsefatlover, thanks for at least providing an outlet. I didn't encounter the bug until I beat Motor Runner in Vault 3, have lost about 10 hours of game play and actually considering selling the game back/giving up on Bethesda. Personally, have already played about 60 hours of F4, losing ten hours because of a software glitch is infuriating, makes me think the company rushed the game to market without proper beta testing. Figure I'll give Bethesda until 11-9, when CoD goes on sale, to come up with a patch or i trade the game in.

I can't complete the "come fly with me" quest without it corrupting all of my save files during that quest, and I've tried three times and in each time the group of save files are all corrupt.
