Big Fallout: New Vegas Patch Coming Soon

[ryo02]

couldnt they have just not released the game for a few weeks for testing and patching? then release a game that isnt buggy?.

What fascinates me is how different the game turns out for various people in regard to bugs.

For instance, I played the game on the PC. I had zero significant bugs. No quests broke, no saves got corrupted, nothing like that. I had a few cases of enemies getting stuck in the terrain, but that was rare and not a big deal.

Also, I use an NVIDIA card, but didn't notice any performance issues, much less something that would warrant a special patch. Heck, I don't even have a good one. It's an old 9500 and it still ran smooth as silk.

Now, I'm not saying that because I had a smooth ride that everyone who says otherwise is lying, but I can't help but feel kinda bad for the game when it's constantly being bashed for bugs and called broken when I found almost no bugs in the game...

Same here, ive had little to no problems playing the game. Ive had issues with performance in certain locations if a fight broke out, especially in the strip or in casinos and ive got a newer Nvidia card (ZOTAC Geforce GTX 460 1GB) so I shouldnt be having this problem.

that's interesting because I'm runnning an above average graphics card (ATI HD 5830) and I'm having quite severe framerate issues no matter if i have the setting up high, or low. It's not a ram problem as i have 8 gbs, and It's not a cpu problem as i have a 6 core processor.
I have tried it on both the highest settings and the lowest settings. in both of them it's so jerky it's practically impossible to aim and shoot without the VATS. It's fucking atrocious and considering the game is essentially just "more of fallout 3" with the added hardcore mode is a godsend and gives me some originality and reason to keep playing, otherwise I'd have stopped this title about 3 hours into it...

that's great and all,but i already finished the game twice!!! without touching a roulette a single time!!!! (the game crashes when i win big)

 

[Irridium]

Yes, it is big and will have bugs. But having save files corrupt? How the fuck did you manage to miss that?

 

[Razmas]

I'm pretty far in the game and thus far I think I've only had one bug, which was quickly resolved by reloading the game. Of course, that probably comes down to dumb luck on my part.

 

[Raregolddragon]

Bugs what bugs?

I have not had an issue with it on my laptop. Hell I have already bet the game and on my second run though.

YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE MONEY MAKERS IN THIS HOUSEHOLD!

OT: Huzzah!

I hope they add a little in-joke in the patch, say, a talking radscorpion that handstands on purpose

That would be amazing, they should add it in as one of the random encounters with the Wild Wasteland perk.

I'm about 65 hours in, and have only just started experiencing problems, and damn, I'm getting a lot of them. I got the PS3 version (I know, I only got it on PS3 so I could replicate the experience I had with Fallout 3), and I had little to no major bugs, other than a few AI and graphical glitches, but after an hour or so of playing, it just decides to disintegrate with gamebreaking bugs and significant framerate issues and frequent freezing. I hope the patch'll help.

 

[Harmondale2]

I don't really know why this has gotten so big? I've had barely any bugs or issues at all??? Love the game too

 

[vrbtny]

For the PC version, I wonder how many of the bugfixes will come from FalloutNewVegasNexus.com

 

[WrongSprite]

Meh, I've already completed it twice. Bugs just aren't worth the fuss people make about it.

 

[mew4ever23]

Can't come soon enough, based on what I've heard and seen.

 

[Bobsonnn]

Buggiest developers ever.

Glad I haven't even started playing it yet, guess I'll just stick with Fable til this patch comes out

 

[Teh_Doomage]

Aside from a few crash to desktops, I haven't encountered anything game breaking or had my saves corrupted, and I've finished the game 5 times thus far, dumping over 60 hours into it.

The game was not as buggy as people made out to be, of if it really was, I was just lucky.

I know you're kidding, but I don't think there's any reason for Bethesda to do that. ***** about them all you want, but Obsidian actually fill a particular niche in the CRPG ecosystem: they're the B-team you farm out sequels to when you don't have the time or inclination to develop a particular followup yourselves but can't justify passing up the money it'd earn you. They started out providing that service for Bioware, now they're doing it for Bethesda too, and it's an arrangement that suits both Bioware and Bethesda nicely.

Look at the disaster which was Alpha Protocol - Obsidian just don't have the chops to come up with an original game, and it isn't in the interests of anyone for them to develop said chops. They know they couldn't compete with Bioware or Bethesda on their own terms, and Bioware and Bethesda don't want to lose their trusty sequel gophers. The current situation suits everyone just fine.

"The patch will fix a number of problems, including the issue on the Xbox 360 where would eat player's saves."

For some reason the news posts about Obsidian also suffer from bugs.

 

[icyneesan]

Well if they don't fix the bugs the modding community will. Probably only for PC, but since its the version I have, I don't care

I was thinking this also but then, what other games are coming out at the same time as this patch. Oh yes the (predicted) behemoth that is CoD. Getting it out ASAP was probably the best thing they could have done to get as many sales as possible. Impulse buyers would have likely have gone for FNV at the time it was out yet if it was relased at the same time as CoD I would probably see people following the crowd and grabbing that instead. That's how I see it anyway.
