Sunday glitch question

Post » Fri Jan 23, 2009 3:50 am

Yeah everytime I load its Sunday, I know its a known glitch but I just want to know if things ingame such as stores restocking or what have you. Do they go by the day of the week or the date of the month

Not sure exactly, but according to what's been reported, it definitely messes up merchant inventories, so I'm guessing they go by day of the week.

It seems to me that you have to wait 3 game days in the current gaming session you are in to get the cell/inventory resets. Note, not all resets give new stuff, it seems to help to buy things from the merchant. Even if there is a reset, the merchant inventory may not change much, if at all.

However if you play a game session for say two game days. Then save and exit, then come back and play for one or two more game days, you won't see a change in the inventory. Also there are certain places in the game that change after events and you may not see those changes either if you do do enough game days in a session.

Not to keep bothering but are the things that happen with time changing Significant things or just minor and do you have any rough idea how many days I would have to spend in a single game session to achieve them?

This is by far the biggest, most ridiculous glitch that's still in the game, the only glitch coming anywhere close to it being the recently fixed lever-action lock up. It's really annoying that this glitch is single-handedly bringing in-game economies to an absolute halt. Yeah it's fixable by waiting, but it's still [censored] annoying.

Since this is the General Section, I will be real vague in my example. In Primm, if you help them, then later on deal with a certain group of people, the casino will re-open and the amount of people in there increases so that it looks like a real town again. You can gamble and barter. You have to wait several days between events for each to happen.

Now, how much is several, for most things it is 3 days. There might be some cyclic things that take 7 days or longer. However most things that we care about are on a 73 hour cycle. Well, it is 72, but wait the extra hour to see the effects.

Absolutely. It seems the caravans only bring new merchandise to vendors on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Must be on that Walmart "just in time" stocking schedule.
