Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

Playing this for 40-50 hours now, and encountered many glitches, including game-halting ones.

 

-Lost a few companions completely and had to reload (nope, weren't at the spot they started or anything)

-Boone lost his weapon (workaround is switching him to melee before heading into the casinos, found that out later)

-Quests randomly failing because people just ...won't talk with me. I would have to reload every time

-Factions suddenly "vilifying" me for absolutely no reason (second to second; I didn't do any actions, it would just happen)

...and more. My husband has had different stuff happen to him since he plays differently (evil), but he's not here at the moment for me to ask. LOL.

 

The biggest one? I can't finish the game at all, I got the Boomer Glitch. I walk up and they completely ignore me. *shrug* Game's done for me. I'll start over when they come out with some decent patches.

 

Bethesda (or any of their games engeneered by any other company) always have these issues. In this case they churned out this game so fast - apparently using the newest Oblivion as a base (the save files get too large just like in that game, they didn't fix it, that's why all the skipping/freezing happens more and more frequently as you play longer)... I wish they'd take their time on Fallout. It's such a good game I play the darn thing even -knowing- it'll be buggy as heck.

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

My biggest glitch right now is my loss of Rex and the fact that I can not change back to the third person view.

 

I read through some of the companion issues here so I should have no problems finding the idiot dog but the view glitch is causing me so much grief.

I can't play in first person at all. I get so ill I have to lay down because it makes me dizzy and nauseous.

I have tried switching controllers and rebooting the system but  nothing has repaired this problem.

 

Does anyone have a remedy for that bug?

 

It if matters, I am at Level 25, I have no custom weapons or clothing (because I don't understand all that crap) and I am in normal mode.

 

Any help would be super!

Have you switched the controllers while playing. Like playing on the controller you normaly play on, turn on another, hit the PS Button on the second one and switch that to controller port 1.

 

I think that has happened to people in Both FO games and that I believe was the fix

Yeah, that little bugger loves to disappear.

 

I've found him just in Freeside, just outside the door to the Strip before, but there is suppose to be a great way to retrieve a lost companion. I've never tried it, but people say it works great.

 

Here's what you do:

 

- Go to Vault 22.

- Repair the Elevator

- Take the Elevator to the bottom floor (pest control)

 

The theory is that why you reach the bottom, your lost companion will appear. If he does, I strongly recommend you to dismiss him at this time. Then you can at least get in to see Caesar. ED-E will either go to your Suite at the Lucky 38 or back to Primm when dismissed.

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

When doing the quest "Birds Of A Feather", after I passed the speech check on the third customer, I tried to talk to him again and chose the Speech option a second time only for it to restart my PS3.

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

The fact that this thread is so long ought to be an embarrassment to Bethesda, but more than likely they're not as embarrassed as they are amused that they can make so much money off of something so broken.   Anyways I list some of the most annoying bugs I've faced (can't list them all, I'll be typing till next Tuesday). Plus a pic for your amusement.

 

1. Unable to get the "Courier who broke the bank" trophy even though I was ban from all three casinos.  (This was probably related to the fact I pickpocket a key from the guy who runs Ultra-Luxe, it caused a whole slew of bugs for me, but this was the worse. I fixed it by reloading an old save and getting kicked out of all 3 casinos again.)

 

2. After I received the key to my suite in Ultra-Luxe I still can't go to my room as it appears red when I go to use my key and if I enter the hotel staff becomes hostile. (See above)

 

3. Radio music plays a echo when in the strip.  (I can distinctly hear two radios playing the exact same music separated by about a half second from each other, this usually happens just before a freeze)

 

4. Important items stuck in the floor (I had a wasteland survival guide I couldn't pick up because it was stuck in the floor.  I fixed it by fast traveling away and coming back, it was still stuck in the floor but I was able to get my crosshair on a corner of it that was barely poking out and take it.)

 

5. Companions who get stuck in places.  ED-E is the worse.

 

6. The missing quest (Where is "For the Republic part 1"?)

 

7.  Dropped items that disappear (I stole a guitar to place in my suite, it's in my inventory, I can store it or sell it but if I drop it, it vanishes from the universe forever.)

 

8. Certain Misc. items that cannot be stored unless stored from the main "Item" menu and not from the sub-menu named Misc. 

 

9. Creatures who will not die.  (Geckos seem to be the worse for this.  In Vats they show no health but yet they continue to attack me.)

 

10. Broken quests.  (They're too many to list here so go look them up on "The Vault" a very helpful Fallout wiki site.

 

 

And now the strange pic.

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

Ok i didnt wanna read the last 10 pages cuz i do not want the story spoiled for me so i dont know if someone posted this already. But its kinda funny whenever I fast travel to the Gunrunners or to the Freeside entrance, Cass goes running off in the opposite direction. Then when she hits the fence directly in front of her a few seconds later, she comes running back. lol

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

I'm getting more and more freezing problems now, i just went to load a game and what happens? it freezes in the loading screen, its really quite pathetic..did bestheda even test this game? when i pay money for something i expect a product that works not a faulty one.

 

i know they are working on a patch and it BETTER fix all the problems that we the PLAYERS are talking about here. Maybe instead of focusing on DLC they should work on making their game more stable.

Re: Fallout New Vegas bugs and glitches thread! (possible Spoilers)

Most of these bugs are pretty much fixed now. My Fallout New Vegas has been running great. With the exception if I play too long, like 5 hours.

I am here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and Im ALL OUT of bubblegum. They Live 1988
