A few fallout New Vegas bugs (Gommorah spoilers)

Post » Wed Jun 30, 2010 5:15 pm

Okay, so i was in the gommorah doing cachinos quest, i killed caldem, (spelling? hes the guy cachino says he doesn't have any dirt on though) and returned to cachino, he told me the bosses were having a meeting and he would slip me a .44 and we would attack them together, after this he just stands there, forever. when i tried talking to him, he would just say we need to meet the bosses. the quest log say i need to follow him to the bosses. i loaded an earlier save to before i sold him his journal, killed caldem and the same thing happens. i was able to get past it though by wandering around gommorah and finding the bosses myself, i killed them and returned to cachino and he seemed very happy and said "yeah we did it, ill take control of this joint now, and don't worry ill run it right" or something like that, which is strange because he did not take part in the fight.

Another one, the longer i play the longer the game takes to load, now every time i load (switch cells, fast travel, go through a transition. ect.) it takes 35+ revolutions (in the loading screen, theres a little ball that spins around, i count the revolutions while i wait.) i don't know what to do, i made a new game to see if thats how always was, and that loads in 1-3 revolutions. i would clear the cache but i am unsure how to do that.

I'm not sure if this last one is a bug, i had boone waiting in front of the lucky 38 and the legion was hostile towards me, though boone was far away from me, i wasnt wearing any ncr armor and i just barely received the mark of caesar. firing boone as a companion seemed to solve the problem though.

EDIT: i already figured out how to reset my cache, but do i have to reset my xbox too? or just go to the dashboard? sorry if any of this is redundant.

I found a few more bugs, i had just fought a couple ncr rangers that come after you when your reputation with the ncr is low enough, i was able to kill them at level 6 by just punching the more unarmored one in the face with spiked knuckles and the armored one i killed by shooting the gun out of her hands then punching her in the face. after having killed the latter, i hotkeyed both the sun glasses i had equipped and the authority glasses i found on her body. as i went to equip them through the hot key to see the difference my game crashed.

Also, on a separate occasion, after booting the game up, i selected continue, then yes and my game crashed, after having restarted my xbox, the game crashed again in the main menu. i have not had this problem again after that one occasion a few days ago.

My game seems to still slow down the long i play, it seems like the longer you play the more a counter goes up, and the more that counter goes up the more glitchy and slow the game becomes. Load time increase and clearing the cache does less and less the longer My overall play time is. Clearing the cache seemed to reduce the counter to zero, then the lowest i could decrease it was to one, and then two, and then three ECT. I have the latest patch but i am unsure what to do about the freezing and crashes getting more and more constant. Constantly making new games helps me play, but i don't want to delete my old games. So far i have one hardcoe guns user, one energy weapons user, another guns user, and an unarmed user.

If anyone could tell me whether or not crashes and freezes will negatively effect my console i will greatly appreciate it! I heard the next patch is for performance issues and hopefully that means i will no longer have my game slow more and more down. I'm just scared to play because it seems waits for the most inopportune times to freeze! (like after i defeated those NCR rangers who attacked me)

Besides that i enjoy the game but it should of had a December US release.
