Come Fly With Me STILL Bugged?!

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:44 am

Ugh...I saw in the 1.1.1 patch notes yesterday on Steam this item:

- Fix: DLC error/save corruption

And thought, finally, the fixed that BS bug where once you complete Come Fly With Me you'd CTD once you've gone through at least one map transition and any saves that occurred after the completion of the quest would be corrupted.

So, I saved (because I've already been bitten by this thing) and headed over there to finish the quest. Finished aaaannndd crash. Saves corrupted.

Why is this so hard to friggin' fix?!?

I bought my copy retail. I bought the Collector's Edition. I got the Tribal Armor DLC as part of the deal.

I'm actually running on a new graphics card (previous = 8800GT, new = GTX 460) so it doesn't seem like it's necessarily a graphics issue (unless it's a driver issue more than a hardware issue). I'm on the 260.99 drivers (nVidia). I was on the 257.21 with the 8800 GT.

OS: Windows XP SP3
CPU: Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz
RAM: 4GB Corsair (I'm on XP so it's more like 3GB)
Audio: Creative X-Fi if that matters.

Something tells me, since it doesn't seem like a lot of people are talking about it (though I did see a post on one Wiki), it might be limited to people running the DLC? Maybe it's related to that?

I'd really just love to get it fixed and move on since it bugs me that this mission is just sitting there, not completed.

Anyone else still having this issue post-1.1.1?

1.1.1 is not the patch that is supposed to fix those things. There is another patch that is being released that will address those problems.
Read the support thread, I would add.

"- Fix: DLC error/save corruption" is only in the notes of one patch thus far...and you say something about wrong patch? Try to think before you post. Yes, he got the version wrong, but that doesnt change the fact that this patch doesnt work the way it should be working. As far as i 've seen the following hasnt been fixed, even thou they claim otherwise:

- Fix: DLC error/save corruption
- Fix: Severe performance issues with DirectX.
- Fixed crash using the Euclid C-Finder while having the Heave Ho perk
- Fix: Sitting down while looking down a weapon's ironsights leaves player control locked

So not only "come fly with me" but the WHOLE GAME is still bugged.
True, this last patch seems more like a hotfix till the 'real' patch, but even the things it should fix, it doesnt.

I always think when I reply: in fact, I confirm what I have said.

Feel free to post a link to the thread you're talking about. I can't seem to find it. I just see people posting they hope the next patch will fix it.

And if you're referring to this thread: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1123616-game-updates/ They're referring to v1.2.0 which has the exact same change list as 1.1.1 does on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/news/4629/

So, I'm not sure what other patch is coming since I don't see a sticky or anything mentioning another patch yet...

Have another bug that isn't fixed but claimed to be fixed...

Fix: Controls temporarily disabled after reloading Cowboy Repeater while crouched


...now the cowboy repeater is bugged no matter if I'm crouched or stand...really inovative way to fix a bug... :facepalm:

They don't mention it but I wonder if any of these fixes are retroactive or if you only see them "fixed" if you start a new game. The weird thing is I haven't had any problems with the cowboy repeater...so random...
