Can i just download 1.7 patch and be done with it. I checked the update post but it doesnt say if 1.7 has all the other older patches included.

Thanks Povuholo!

Also a bit off topic but is there a Fall out New Vegas specifically for Win 7. I thought id ask as i thought they only did it for win xp and vista only my uncle got me the game for xmas and said he found one for Win 7 but had to pay more. Im just hoping he hasnt been conned iv checked the box and it doesnt say Win 7 compatible on it.

Whoops found it, in the small print. Usually i see a logo

Ok another question since i sorted out the patch (steam downloaded it for me) and found out the game spec.

How do i change weapon? Please dont say use pipboy, in the old game i think i could press either the 1-9 keys or use the mouse wheel but im not getting that luxury on this one.

You go into the Pip-Boy and select the weapon you want and while its highlighted, press the number you want it assigned to.

Back to the Patching...Everytime I download the 1.7 and try to install, it runs through the install in about 5 seconds, then it loads the game? (idk why).

So I check back and I see that the 1.7 patch has stopped working, and I can't find any solutions Anyone here know how to fix this?

Thanks

Im not a computer wizz but it could be the mirror you used to dl from.

When i installed the game steam seemed to deal with everything from registration to installing the patch for me. Reinstal the game seems like the hassle free way, wouldnt know how you'd keep any saved games though.

What version are you running? If it's the GOTY edition, you don't need a patch, it's already included.

Well, thank you good sir for responding...It is the GOTY

.

Oh and Btw, I know this is off topic from the patching...but Why is Fawkes invincible?

He's not invincible, I've read posts where he manged to get himself killed. He's just very tough and that doesn't happen very often.

Whilst we are talking about characters i was travelling through to Nicto (the town that i need to recce for the NCR soldier at the moujo barracks with knight in) and shot a guy named TOMAS he was at a distance and i was using my nightsight to shoot him and didnt realise until he got closer who he was.

Just curious is this guy important, was he friendly? i ran away from him so he is still alive so will i see him again?

Sorry, but that's a New Vegas question by the sounds of it and I don't have that game yet. I'll be waiting until the GOTY version comes out on disc, if I can even get past my aversion to using Steam's online activation. It's possible I may not even have Internet access at that time.

How come mini nukes wont even hurt his hp at all?

.

Also, he took on 10 super mutants, and he killed all of them and had the same hp. (maybe he is just super tough, But I also heard it's a bug)...so idk.

EDIT: DogMeat is the same way.

EDIT: DogMeat is the same way.

While I've never used either of them, since I don't like companions, I've read plenty of posts about Dogmeat dying and a few of Fawkes getting killed too. So neither of them can be invincible. It wouldn't be a very balanced game if they were.

Well...My GOTY edition is screwed up then
