Ever since the newest patch I have experienced many location based game crashes and freezes.

My game will randomly crash anywhere in the whole New Vegas area(outside of Freeswide and Westside).

To be more specific there is a 100% crash(freeze) rate outside of Goodsprings, when you are by Jeans Sky Diving and follow the road to Primm.

Personally I don't care how many bugs Fallout New Vegas has, I normally deal with them or work around them, example: The perk quick draw or having the agility skill at 9 or 10 cause you to draw your pistol twice(very annoying) so I kept my agility at 7. As long as Obsidian can keep my game from crashing/freezing I am happy, my game was like that until the new patch.

I am also not sure what the difference between crashing and freezing are but my game freezes and then I need to turn my Xbox off then back on.

I am not sure how many people are experiencing this. My game has been installed to my Xbox hard drive the second I opened my fallout, along with many of my other games. I re-downloaded the patches and the DLCs and still my game freezes.

I am not sure if I should play it on disk or re-install it to my hard drive.

If anyone else has experienced these crashes/freezes or has a solution, please post.
