Corrupted save games

Post » Fri Jul 23, 2010 9:28 pm

Hi everyone,

after fooling around a bit and several corrupted savegames later i managed to track down one savegame corrupting bug, which happens only AFTER you loot the "Reverse Pulse Cleaner"-Item and leave Motor-runners "room".

oh btw. sorry for my hopefully not-so-bad englisch, because i'm no native englisch speaker. =)

edit* wops, i forgot to mention that it is in vault 3 and that every save after looting this item is corrupted

Hi guys,

I experienced the bug in Valut 3. Luckily the "restore to previous version" method meant I only lost about half an hour's gameplay. Then I finished Vault 3 and headed for the REPCONN HQ where ED-E tells you to go. On the third floor I quickloaded, and it corrupted all my save files back to Vault 3, including hard saves. That's about 2 hours' work. I gave it a chance, re-did Vault 3, went back to the REPCONN HQ, and this time I threw down a hard save every five minutes. A quickload on the second floor corrupted every single save back to Vault 3.

I have a hunch this has something to do with quicksaves. I would test the theory out, but I'm not spending another two hours playing the same thing yet again. Won't be playing again until this is fixed.
