Fallout: New Vegas patch inbound

Well that has made my day, I'm not fussed when it released, as long as it's happening, In my opinion there isn't anything bad with this game at all now!

@StarlightHunter Sure, i never said the problem was my console. The problem is this crappy game (technically speaking...) :( The precautions i take seem to help though (well, a bit).

@slbdevil, a Game crashing has nothing to do with you're console. It is due to errors and incosistancies with the games engine.

TerraMantis, check this out. http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1181744-balance-changes-in-the-new-fnv-patch/

Anyone know when this patch is going to go live? I've had FO:NV since launch and have never even put it in after seeing the review video and reading about its problematic development issues. From what i can gather it is an extremely amazing adventure FPS-RPG if you can get past the technical issues. If someone could fill me in that would be great.

Sorry but honestly I have little faith on this patch... It's probably not gonna fix much... I play on PS3 and the technical state in which the game was released and still is right now is nothing but AWFUL! That and the lack of support from Obsidian/Bethesda. It's not acceptable having the game freezing your console all the time (i've played for more than 100 hours now, and this piece of crap froze my PS3 40 or more times until i got to finish it (hell, i'm afraid this might break my PS3!) Then there's the constant stuttering and huge framedrops in some areas that literally render this unplayable, oh, and how could i forget... the god damn bugs! And I take all the precautions, i create fresh gamesaves all the time, disable the music, cinematic cam, i play completely offline as its a SP game as it's pointless being connected to the internet while playing! Don't get me wrong, i love the core game, but the technical issues are pathetic. The content of the game is the only reason why i kept playing it, ignoring the issues to some extent. :)

fallout you have failed miserably in this game. i played it once after i bought it and now it is collecting dust. im surprised i have not gone to gamespot and traded it in. you have such a huge fan base to let us down and release this GARBAGE !

i used over 400 save slots compared to only 8 i fallout 3. my main complaint was the screen turning red or green in different ares of the map.

The game is playable as is, so long as you save frequently and use many save slots... The bugs were/are annoying, but i have played through 2x pre-patch and still found the game very enjoyable (albeit, I do remember tossing the controller a few times during a bug flare-up)

I been waiting for patches because I haven't even tried mine yet. Heard too much about the bugs and freeze ups to even play.

The only "optimizations" I want are some cheats and more places to explore.

finally !!!! waiting for that

Wrong! They are Old World Blues (Which will be next), Honest Hearts, and Lonesome Road. Information availbable here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas_add-ons

Im sick of it crashing for no reason causing me to save every few mins:(

Hopefully this means I'll be able to finally play the "Come Fly With Me" quest, it always corrupted my saves so I just left it

Maybe I'll have to get back into it. I've explored most of the world, but I know there's still a lot of content (particularly in the city of New Vegas) I haven't touched yet.

This news is right on time Fallout New Vegas is on sell at Game Stop.

I skipped the game because of ridiculous bugs, but if their fixes solve most of the serious problems, I'll pick it up. How stupid to only audit the game for bugs after it's released.

@deathstream Yea the glitches should of been weeded out but honestly I think they will just upgrade engines once elder scrolls 5 comes out

PC FTW i got a crapload of mods too keep me playing for well along time. and when i frist got the game i only seen or cared too look close at the bugs because if i sat there and cryed about bugs i might aswell find a new hobby too do othere then gameing

@ mu57ang true true but i think you give cod to much credit i sure it hasnt done a billion a few million sure around 50 mill maybe and that would be every cod combined. the last one only did 15mill granted that is a lot the most ever for any video game. even if you talking $$ thats only a couple 100 mill not billions

Besides the fact my 80gig BC PS 3 went YLOD along with my F:NV data, I've stopped playing until they resolve some plot stoppers and/or trophy progression killers. Yeah if the fans says for instance many of the issues including those stoppers did get fixed than yeah I'll replay this even start my first run this time on Hardcore mode. For now I'm an wait and see type of person despite the game having an excellent story and me cleaning out the Casinos.

@raichou - Careful with talk like that... next game Bethesda makes they won't release mod tools. Just look at what happened with COD. PC gamers said they wouldn't buy the map pack for COD4 becuase they had free user made maps... since then, mod tools have vanished from the COD series. Can't tell me the rise of DLC didn't have everything to do with that.

MORE FALLOUT, yes please i'll have another

I agree with raichou, I have played though NV 5 times now, done everything etc. Dead Money was a welcome addon since it was out a few weeks after launch while I was still playing though the game. Obsidian are to late to be bringing DLC out 4 moths after Dead Money, they should of brought them out sooner, same thing with the patches, I mean they have had 4 months. Though NV is a great game, Obsidian f***ed up big time though.

I thought this was supposed to get patched back in october of last year...how many bugs still need to get squashed from launch?

@raichou Exactly what he/she, it? said.

i'm glad that they didn't forget about gamers who bought the product :)

Installed,played and finished. Hardly any problems with it. That was months ago. I am with raichou on this one..

good to see the developers not just pushing the game aside! if the patch fixes what it says it does im going back to this game that's the only reason i left this game alone for a little bit,

I really hope they sort out the mis-aligned iron sights. The recharger pistol is ridiculous, the plasma rifle fires slightly off-centre, and many of the other guns just seem to aim at different degrees of height, forcing you to quickly switch between "off the hip" and aim when shooting long range. Also it still crashes.

I can still barely play without a crash every half hour or so. But that is the least of my problems, I have several quests I can't complete (such as the Brotherhood of Steel series) because the quests wont complete after I have done all the tasks.

just want the dlc this is nice though

good news for me...just need to get a new ps3 to replace the one with the bad disk drive and im good to go

Better late than never, I guess.

3 more DLCs? Sweet! :D

Clocked in 100 hours in New Vegas, finishing everything and enjoying a few dozen mods. Uninstalled the game 4 months ago LOL. DLC at this time is a joke. I am NOT going to pay $$$ for a few hours of quests and game tweaks when mods have already provided us with so much (quests, locations, items, characters, tweaks, glitch fixes) over the past six months. Unless the new DLC's is able to provide me with another 40 hours of content, than no dice Obsidian. We're all looking forward to The Witcher 2, Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 now. Unless its Fallout 4, than no, ur too late Obsidian.

Cool cant wait...the random crash's can be annoying...still not tired of it yet (modded the crap out of that game lol!)

Does anyone know if the (PC) lag has been fixed yet? I uninstalled the game a while back, didn't have many bugs but the lag was Severely annoying. It (lag) was the last straw for me and I'm not installing again until that's fixed.

about time

Good news, but a bit late. Already done and uninstalled :P I didn't encounter too many bugs though (no crashes at all). Maybe because I installed some of the unofficial patches and various fixer mods.

@mu57ang Games have also become a lot more complex then they used to be. That is part of the reason for more bugs, not the whole reason though. Developers know they can patch a game later and they take advantage of that. I'm not a picky gamer and bugs don't tend to bother me much. As long as it's not game breaking i.e "deletes my save data". I completely understand someone who does nitpick every bug in a game though. Someone who spends $70 for a new game is entitled to a bug free experience.

I've learned my lesson, I'm gonna pay 20 bucks for a patched game with all the DLCs later, rather than 60 bucks for a buggy experience now. If you take a look at the last decade, games are getting buggier and buggier, as well as more and more expensive. And despite all the piracy in the world, COD had a BILLION in sales. BILLION! If people really want to see a change in games, they certainly need to stop pre-ordering games, which is basically giving the developer money and asking him to kick you in the family jewels, and stop buying games at release. Buy the games when they are ready to be played. They sucker in people with a free hat or gun as a pre-order bonus, and then people spend weeks complaining that the game doesn't work correctly. Was that free hat worth it? THis....

too late,as much as i've loved this game,and i still play it,my experience with it has been tainted due to copious crashes,i'll play it until i have completed it,but never again,i think ill just go rebuy Fo3:GOTY.

The PC version is great, hardly any bugs. The issue is its a PC port, and they obviously didn't test enough on 360/PS3 but they sure did on PC. Love this game, finished it on 3 different characters and only 2 bugs i have found.

too late... I've moved on

Still a great game, bugs and all.

Do people still care about this POS anymore? Last I saw it was being sold for like 7 pounds

Just finished up playing Fallout GOTY edition. Looking forward to Fallout New Vegas GOTY edition later this year, or next year. This game came out half a year ago, and they're still patching bugs?

I wonder how many bugs they fixed actually fixed a bug for a cracked version of the game. It always seems like it's usually those versions experiencing problems.(but most won't admit it)
