Infinite Loading Screen.

Post » Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:40 am

Since the July update I've had nothing but problems with NV. Worst yet, my save WILL NOT load. I've tried clearing my Cache, re-installing the update, and nothing happens. I can still load saved from other characters, just no this save, and it's my most important file.

Try loading an old save, then from there, while it's up, load the save you want. That always works for me.

OMG, it worked! If and will Obsidian patches this, will this be resolved?

Excellent :)

It was supposed to be fixed in the (patched) patch for HH, but I still see it every once in a while.

Personally, I see this happen if I *don't* exit the game using the (game) menus. If I just hit, say, the Guide button and quit from an active game to the 360 screens, my save game never loads the normal way. If I use the game menus to quit, everything seems to work fine.

Awesome! Will it ever load normally again if I start exiting with the menu, or is this permanent?

There's another topic on this as well:

Just FYI. This workaround doesn't work for everyone. The patch is screwed as it doesn't install to the HDD cache like every other game update, but into the game saves/install folder instead.

Doubt Beth/Obsidian will actually fix this as no actual confirmation that they're even aware of this exists as far as I know. I even tweeted Obsidian directly and it was ignored.

WOOHOO! I finally got this method to work for me today! I was exiting out to the main menu THEN trying to reload my older higher level save and it wasnt working...today I tried your 'in game' method and thank goodness on the success! There might be a light at the end of the tunnel for this game yet. :celebration:
