That's sort of the way it is with PC games. In this case, there is a problem with DX9 implementation for high-end hardware on Vista or Win7 (basically, cards capable of DX10 or 11). It seems particularly bad for people with Nvidia 400 series cards. Framerates plummet whenever an NPC speaks on-screen, and are lower than they should be in general. Luckily, an old community fix from Fallout3 happened to correct the issue, and now I'm getting better framerates than I do in Fallout3.

The other game-stopper for me was the save bug. When they had Steam Cloud activated on the Steam servers, a lot of us were finding that our quicksave and autosave files were being replaced with earlier ones every time the game was launched (even if we had set Steam to not use Cloud). Several of us eventually found a way to prevent it through trial and error, and it has since been patched.

Spending my first two evenings with the game troubleshooting instead of playing spoiled my excitement a little, But now that I've been able to get into the game, I'm really enjoying it. I think I'll be spending a LOT of time in the Mojave Wasteland over the next year or two...
:fallout:

Its a fantastic game no doubt. Even with 3 freezes, and one glitch where the lock for the lockpicking "mini game" didn't show up, Im still happy I got the game.
Here's my opinion, most of all glitches, freezes, and crashes are human error because people don't understand this game is still fragile. Take things a little slow, don't go speeding through conversations to fast and don't go in and out of game "worlds" fast because the game is still in its infancy give it a couple of patches then go crazy.
Although some glitches are Obs/Beths fault and I'm not going to deny it, the game was released one month (probably 2 months) too early.

I really want to play this game, but it hasn't been delivered yet. its stuck in Kentucky.

protip - when you get the game and get out of the doctors place head north and don't look back the deathclaws stop chasing you eventually :whistling:
