WELCOME and join the PS3 FallOut NV Club FREEZE! iv only had 2 freezes total so far no lie lucky me! This is just for fun no since behind it hear.

Tell use you amazing freeze story's and WHAT have you broken when NV has Froze on you? controllers i bet thats a lot, TV's, Your hand? You can make up a story if you'd like.

i wounder why some of use got so lucky and getting very few freezes?

Freezes daily, I have seen posts of ways to fix this at other sites with the new patch but have yet to try.

Something about delete the game install and reinstall but do not touch your saved game data. Like I said I haven't tried this but some people have said it works since the patch came was released.

The patch was released the same day as the game here in Sweden and so I don't think that'll work :/

Every single time I try to load the game it freezes, and I can't play anymore. This is ridiculous.

haven't had any freezes of late!

I'd like to know what you have done to not get any crash/freezes? and what kind of PS3 do you have? or are you just one of the lucky ones...

Freezes so much now, I tossed the Disk into the field behind the house......no lie.....it flew much better then it played.....lol......love the game, but this will be the last time I buy from these developers....no excuse to release an item so poorly tested and made. Hope you all get a patch soon that fixes thing....

What a disaster this game has been. So many loyal fans lie broken and distraught. Ok not really, but we are severely disappointed. Such an incredible title over the years has been treated as if its "just another game". Many of us waited years and years through trials and tribulations for Fallout 3. For the most part we were satisfied. But this, this is a mess. A testament to how much you developers actually give a damn. So you listen. You upload a patch. A patch that does what you say? Well for me all it did was remove the incendiary anti-material rifle bug that allowed me to acquire iconic armor for the faction I love. Who else but Bethesda/Obsidian would create such an iconic symbol for such a badass faction and not give you a way to acquire said symbol while still remaining on good terms with the NCR? So thanks for taking away my one method of having cool armor. All the while NOT fixing the real problem, which is of course, repeated lock ups at random intervals causing your complete disaster of a "game" to be unplayable. Thanks guys and enjoy my money! You earned it! /end sarcasm

I wish there was a like button for this.. =P

After the game froze up on me the first few times I learned to maintain multiple save files and save frequently but alas I'm now at the point where I can't load any of my saved games without the game completely freezing up within a couple of minutes. I am completely stuck. I can't believe a company with any quality standards would let a product like this out the door.

Ive had about10 to12 total game freezes. But nowhere close to my record of 6,332 freezes I had from FALLOUT 3 GOTY Edition. But theres always tomorrow to add to the total.

just had another one last night first since patch.

I'm so angry at the Fallout team. How can they release a games that has so many defects? And this isn't the first time either with their games. I have to say that from all the games I have played from this company, this game has the biggest defects. Everytime I play the game, it freezes, now I'm missing characters, and the list goes on. Where is quality control? I'm a fan of fallout and elder scrolls, but you guys can't expect fans to be there the next time, when you keep releasing games that has so many defects. It just shows disrespect for us. - a soon to be former fan!

Mine started out fine... had one freeze after about 7 hours of non-stop use. Now it's getting to a point where it's freezing in under an hour. Last night after one freeze I let the PS3 stay off for about 5 minutes and turned it on and tried continuing the game... and it froze again. So for the first time since I bought the game, I pulled it out of the PS3 and played something else.

I had several hours set aside for gaming last night. NV froze several times in the first hour. Thought 'why am I still playing this'? Shut it off and watched Grey's Anatomy reruns with my wife. I hate that show.

I'm done until there's a better patch.

My game freezes if I have the audacity to look at Gomorrah. That's right; I just have to look at the casino, and the game crashes.

yo i use the original 30 LBS tower PS3 to play anf for most of the game i only got some minor tearing running across the Mojave (after about 10+ hours of play, which is great since it happens to most people around 5+ hours) but after a while i reached new vegas
and when i reached the entrance the the strip which the securitrons that ask for your passport/proof of wealth i started hearing a sound so i looked around for a second and didnt see anything but the sound kept getting louder and closer before i knew it i was frantically reaching for my TV remote because it sounded like a Sherman Tank was Rolling through my room deafeningly loud andi couldnt find anything that would cause that noise

my next problem came about with the legion(THIS IS NOT A BUG JUST AN AMUSING STORY)
so i went to the legion they are like hey go do this task for me (i dont want to add spoilers)
i was like ok so i go into this building which i thought i was clear to put my NCR armor back on when one of the legion decided he wanted to stroll a bit an spotted me
so as the fight is going on the game decided it was a good idea to autosave my game so i died loaded my game to find that the auto save had made a save file with the bullet for the final kill shot 2 inches from my head so if i load i instantly die
ty auto save

my third problem(back to bugs)
i decided to take a detour and goto novac i had 260/260 weight in my inventory and needed to sell alot of stuff
so i fast travel there both traveling merchants are in the town so i talk to the male one he has about 300 caps that i can get from him and nothing of interest in his shop
so i move over to the female traveling merchant she had about 3500 caps in stock so i start going through all my stuff millions of cigarettes cartons packs pre war money any heavy/ energy weapons i found (my first character is a light guns specialist, hand gun/ rifles) so after going through my inventory i sell her 2500 caps worth of items and bought a few dozen Cards (she had so many i was like YES I CAN FINALLY PLAY THIS CARD GAME) so the second i press square money is transferred and i am frozen just stuck sitting there looking at my stash of 120000 caps so i restart my game talk to the merchants again this time the female doesnt have any cards blah blah freezes again at the same time so now im stuck with this chick is the only merchant who has any caps and i have way to much stuff

Only had a few lockups when I was able to play. But now i'm locked out of the strip and can't zone into the north gate without the black screen of death. I went around and was able to get there via the train and made it to the lucky 38. but now i can't zone out of the casino without the BSOD.

had another freez last night when the @#$% hit the fan i had the legion, fire geckos and 1 death claw attacking me at the same time and it froze up.

I haven't played New Vegas in a little while since I finished my first play through which lasted 45 hours which is solid length.Unfortunately It froze 11 times in those 45 hours which is completely unacceptable.Considering I own and rented dozens of PS3 games over the 3 years I've owned my PS3 and it has only frozen maybe 5 times in 3 years and countless hours of playing.

first of all I love the fallout series..
as I think most of us do who post here..
otherwise we wouldn't waste our time..

Still have FO3 GOTY and play it from time to time..
it has it's freezing issues though..

When I heard NV was coming I was excited...
I thought "they must have gotten rid of the crashing
bugs with a brand new game..."

Now I see after only playing NV for less than half
of the story that it freezes my PS3 120gb a lot
more often than FO3 GOTY ever has...

In fact, I loaded up my save the other day and only
played for about 30 minutes and bang - full system
crash and had to reboot... man this is frustrating..
This is after the latest patch too, which only seems
to make the crash problem worse...

When I first installed NV it ran beautifully for about
12 straight hours with no problems at all...
I shut the PS3 off and loaded up my save the next
day and after about 4 hours got my first crash...

I let the patch install the other day hoping it would
at least reduce the amount of crashes but now it
crashes after only about 20-30 minutes no matter
where or what I'm doing, so I'm gonna delete and
reinstall the game data and hope I can get back
to the way it played when I first installed it...

I am also going to start a whole new character
and only keep 3 manual saves going by deleting
old ones starting each play session and see if that
makes any difference...

When you have to do things like this just to get
a game to work right it really takes all the fun
out of it though... The only thing I can say at
the end of the day is that I at least get to see
most of the game.... I hope.. but that's about it...

This is what bothers me the most. When a patch does come along it fixes some of the minor problems and exploits but never the big annoying problems.

I clicked off that it freezes on me 3-5 times a night. I would be more if I didn't always give up on the 3rd or 4th.

I humbly suggest you add a question to this poll...

Average number of hours played per day... to make sense of the average lockups per day numbers.

Or total hours, as per the last save file with the highest number of hours (or something to that effect).

The folks picking 1-2 as their average number of freezes may only play 2-3 hours a day, while the folks with average of 10+ may have longer sessions with the game (like playing all day saturday or something)...and so the average number of freeze ups may be consistant...about 1 to 2 per 2 to 3 hours of play. That is about my average experience.

Thanks...
