Ok, i bought this game a few months ago now, and have just managed to get the damn thing working now.

First, it kept "losing" the mouse, while retaining keyboard control after a few minutes of play. This was resolved only by a full reinstall of windows - somewhat extreme.
Then there are then numerous random crashes, even on loading screens(which require a reboot).
The radio makes the game stutter.
The game stutters randomly, even on a scene that played smoothly before reloading a save.
Now I have a situation where i am firing constantly without pressing anything, this was then replaced by the exact opposite, where i couldn't fire but could do anything else.
And then there's the run button randomly changing to the walk button in the middle of a fight - the run/walk function having reversed itself.
I've been playing it for 4 hours now and have not very far at all due to these bugs, I have never played a game that was so buggy, even after the latest patch.

I have heard gret things about the game, and i would dearly like to like it, but my expeience so far has been the most frustrating and shoddy of any game i've played in 25 years. So far i think its the worst game i've ever played and i am actually upset that i paid money for it.

I have never felt the need to rant about a game before, but this game has taken the mick.

Rant over.

Nice settings btw, reminiscent of Stalker without the anomolies.

Wow, your obviously on PC. I play it on xbox and only ever get the odd freeze, even then it's pretty rare. I have a couple of friends who play on PC and they have nothing but trouble with Fallout games, now they've given up and shelved them. I feel sorry for you pal because Fallout is such a fantastic game.
