Hefty Fallout: New Vegas patch inbound

Sorry smzee27 I have been playing the game since it was released. To bad about your issues.

Just wait for the GOTY Game of the Year edition and buy it in a Steam sale in a year's time. That's my preferred choice of action.

All I want to know is when does lonesome road come out i've been waiting for it since old world blues was released lol

love fallout games, as broken and frustrating as the games are, they still manage to keep me entertained, the DLC's for new vegas so far, so twisted and awsome, hardcore mode made new vegas just even more of a "oh yeah i nned to drink water and sleep every so often so i dont die quicker" but it wasnt in the lame ass TheSims way lol imo they can keep hardcore mode love it

Just bought this game looking foward to playing it. It looks good and loved Fallout 3. I'm sure the patch will fix any problems. Glad I waited to get it until after the patch was released :)

@toad1956 --------- "Screw any more DLC FNV is dead and a better Fallout should be made, one with some morals. (I hate playing games were I am the bad guy.)" ---------- What the heck are you talking about? 1. How many games are there where you play as the bad guy? Usually players want to be able to make "bad" choices because you're a "good" guy in the large majority of games. 2. I'm guessing you've never actually played NV. There's something completely off about your post. Not the least of which is your username. Hmm...

where da hell is the patch no patch since the game release :@

@Johny_47 Bethesda didn't make New Vegas, Obsidian did. Bethesda made Fallout 3.

@LpcWarrior I know the difference, I just thought Bethesda were developing it(not a kind of 'sister developer') thanks, but they still could focused more on Elder Scrolls V instead of rubbish fallout =P

my dead money and honest hearts dlc stopped working.. i hope these patches fix the problem

@Johny_47 Their is a difference between Publisher and Developer. Obsidian Developed it (created it), Bethesda Published it (put it out in the market). Bethesda made Fallout 3 and the Elder Scrolls games. Bethesda isn't developing "Rage", they are Publishing it.

I have this for ps3 and since the first hour I played it a long time ago I haven't gone back to play it, I think it's quite boring and the lag and 'pop in' etc is a disgrace. I think to myself all the time - 'why did Bethesda waste time with this rubbish when they could have been working more on Elder Scrolls V or Rage?' If this update fixes that stuff I might give it another go, better late than never I always say =/

Just stick with fallout 3, new vegas isnt really that fun the world just has no personality like Fallout 3's did.

@hostyl1 lol yeah that's what I meant, although I thought it would be at least $19.99... Fallout 3 is a great game so if the patch gets the job done there won't be a reason not to get this one.

@jonnybutler11: It's currently $9.99 @ Best Buy. Doesnt get much more bargain bin than that.

Never got around to playing this because all my friends and the reviewers said it was too buggy... Maybe I'll pick it up from the bargain bin after the patch...

...Finally

Looks like I'll be starting a new character shortly! =) Hope the patch get's the job done...

I pre-ordered this game, yes i have the tribal starter gear and all that jazz, but my Fallout: New Vegas is still in its cellophane. I watched the professional review and read user reviews and it seems that if you can look past the bugs and what-not that New Vegas is actually better than 3. I kinda knew this would be the issue with Obsidian from past experiences like NWN2. So i've been waiting about 9 months for this and i can't wait to play it.

Awesomeness, just got the patch. Spiffy. :)

@toad1956 The game lets you make decisions , if your the bad guy in the game then its because you chose to be.

Screw any more DLC FNV is dead and a better Fallout should be made, one with some morals. (I hate playing games were I am the bad guy.)

Looks like several people picked up the special at BB for $9.99 with the news out about the big patch everyone was hoping for coming ot this week, id bet the few copies at my local store are long gone by now and rightfully so this is a great game.............

I had played about 10 hours back in Oct/Nov using my neighbors game disk as I was still involved in FO3 add-ons. I really enjoyed FNV but the glitching was a bit much so stopped playing and never picked up my own copy. Saturday was able to pick it up for $9.99 on holiday special at Best Buy, was sure when I saw the add by the time i got to the store they would be gone but heck they had about 10 copies. I fired up the game again and ran into the same glitching problems I though would have been fixed by now. I see that the patch is due out this week so im very happy about that as the game is terrific and also enjoyed the FO3 and all they add-ons and looking to continue my emersion with FNV!!!!!!!!

@murray_mchs Not to put Obsidian down or anything, but most if not all of these patches were the work of Bethesda. Bethesda is the one that deserves the praise for going out of their way to fix a game they didn't develop. @nohabs No, Bethesda was busy developing Skyrim.

I think a lot of people are losing perspective. Yes, it took nine months for them to fix it. However, the fact that they are still spending money and working on a nearly year old game when they could have just called it a wash and kept the profits that they have already made says a lot. They didn't have to fix anything, they are doing it for the players. As a person who hasn't jumped ship just yet, thanks Obsidian.

9 months ? Were they on a coffee break, a long one ?

the funny thing is that the pirated version of the game was more stable than the steam version :))...it took me some time to figure that out but still using win7 gave me headaches with this game pirated or not...btw i did finish it when i had win xp 32 bits

still releasing patches :))..........on xp it worked fine (no craches) until i've installed win7 and then the horror started craches afther craches, bugs bugs bugs (:'( the horror, the pain and frustration) ...until i've started to use cracks unoficial patches and watching on youtube things that other did, even installed some mods that helped you bypass some bugs (afther making the game work in 2 days i've got bored of it and deleted it :)-to much work to make it functional and it became boring starting the game over and over again)..........

I bought this on release day and although I enjoyed it, the bugs nearly crippled it. But, thankfully, after 8 MONTHS they've patched it properly. What a joke. Hope Skyrim doesn't suffer the same problems.

This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. I've owned New Vegas for MONTHS but haven't has the guts to touch it because of the reports I've heard of terrible, terrible glitches. Phew!

I just ordered FNV at Best Buy for ten bucks. By the time it arrives, the patch will have hit, so I hope it's smooth sailing now. I loved Fallout 3 and excited to play NV.

Just went to pick it up and left empty handed because they only had one copy and no box for it. Never bought a game in a sleeve and I never will. Someone tell me how they only had one box-less copy of a game that came out 9 months ago...Thanks again Gamestop.

I thought they did this already? fail...

Ah yes, I learned my lesson from Oblivion and Fallout 3, which is to wait with Bethesda games. I really would rather them take their time and iron out the bugs than just releasing a patch ONE YEAR later. Probably will buy Skyrim on day one though.=D

I just patched my PS3 version and the game crashed already, not even 20 mins after the new patch, lol. What he hell is their problem?!

@EasyToTalkTolty Well, you know what they say; 'better late than never'.

I'm ready for it! I love FO:NV! All of it apart from the bugs.

bought it first day, joke on me, I did get to play about 70 hrs and I could have played a lot more but the more you advance the buguiest it gets, it was too much so I traded it, I have heard a lot about bethesda releasing patches that supposedly fixed the game, dont know and dont care if that true or not.

cool man. i got a level 39 character thats stuck cause if i leave this one place where hes at it goes into turbo lag mode and it takes 30 minutes to take 5 steps. really didnt want to start over again to so this is some good news

glad they decided to fix a broke game a year after the fact...

Ive lost interest to the whole game as I had this day one and played this over and over but I kept getting gliches after 30 hrs or so now Im more interested in Elder scroll skyrim I know bathesda didnt make NV but Obsedian the makers of Alpha Protocol :/ Im just sayin thats all...

just picked this up dirt cheap the other day, not played it yet, think i will wait a few more days for the patch to hit before i start

just picked up my copy at BB today for $10... Glad I waited. Good timing on my end...

I just took a look at the full list of changes and they look about right, can't wait to try them out.

the update just landed in england for steam.

murray__mchs...I know exactly what you are talking about. While I don't have NV yet, I noticed the same thing with fallout3. The first half of the game was actually really smooth and played surprisingly well but after that, the glitches seemed to get worse and worse with each mission.

lameo. More patches? I guess this game is not even worth twenty bucks let alone sixty dollars. I been think about buying this for twenty bucks but now..... meh. I'm sure once all the DLC comes out there will be a Game of the Year edition with the game and all the DLC and patches on one disc. Thats when i'll buy it.

Good timing. Should be getting FNV in my mailbox today or tomorrow.

I always noticed with my copy (X360) that the longer I played in each session the sloppier the frame rate would get, load times would get very long, and the probability of freeze-ups increased dramatically. Did anyone else notice this?
