Fallout New Vegas Errors, Crashes,Freezes and Fixes

Fallout New Vegas has just been released and already, they are many who are facing game breaking issues. Errors, crashes, freezes, low performance on the game, Fallout New Vegas save bug, and lot of other issues that are needed to be address by the developer, Obsidian.

I've been playing the 360 version for about 4 hours and I've had to restart the game twice. Both times I approached an NPC that didn't move but was taking damage and making noise then the game would just lock.

I'm VERY disappointed in the bug ridden code in this release. I know Bethesda doesn't have the best rep when it comes to buggy games but having complete freezes is game breaking and unacceptable. I hoped Obsidian would do a better job but it seems more buggy than FL3 to me.

Btw - I have a 360 Elite that has zero problems and I am running the game off of HDD. Disc looks fine no visable scratches.

Just had my first freeze after about an hour of play. Wasn't even intense and nothing was happening on screen.

I'll play it some more later, but if this is the gist of it, Bethesda is going to have to win me over with a show of proof that their future games they back aren't an issue. And, yeah, I know it was Obsidian that made this, but the result squarely falls on the shoulders of the people who own the IP and are in charge of making sure the best product is released.

I believe I'll wait for a couple patches before buying. I'll probably get it used, too; I don't want to support games that launch like that.

[Jaces]

I have the game already to go, but this is one reason I haven't touched it yet. I'll wait for some patches before I begin my journey without the worry of a freezing game, that and I'm still trying to Plat Dead Rising 2 ;P

[King-Leonidas]

holy mother of Sparta, that´s a big list.

[wat634]

Thats bethesda for you.

Well, best be waiting for a patch then.

[Motorola]

this is OBSIDIAN. not Bethesda, OBSIDIAN. geez dont you people know who made the game? BETHESDA made 2 GOTYs Oblivion and F3. not this!

[NYC_Gamer]

bethesda allowed them to put out this buggy piece of shit

[MexicanAppleThief]

Yes, but it was made on the same buggy engine as Fallout 3 and other recent Bethseda titles.

Luckily I'm getting the PC version, so hopefully the modding community will make quick work of this.

[Motorola]

yeah your right about bethesda letting them. but obsidian should have done SOMETHING

[Motion]

Yeah, the engine is still Bethesda's, so I had no doubts the game would be full of bugs. I'm actually here because I wanted to ask this of anyone who is playing this on PC-

Does the game still have terrible memory leaks, causing your framerate to steadily drop down to unplayable levels over a period of time (hour or so) while out doors? Or did they finally patch that?

[phantomexe]

bethesda is just as bad motor or have you forgoting oblivion and fallout 3. There useing bethesdas engine....(Some peoples kids)

[Ocelot525]

just like I foretold...

they all laughed at me(actually disagreed) but now reality proves me right: FO:NV is a bugfest

This is why I will wait a year until the GOTY releases. Bugs completely ruin the experience of a game, bugs do you remind that you are playing a game and not a real sole wanderer in a wasteland.

[romancer]

I am playing the 360 version installed to my HD.

I have had no freezes or gltches so far. But the night is young....

[BrianC6234]

Isn't it always best to wait at least a month to buy a game from these guys? It seems like all of their games are buggy from day one.

[DizzyDino]

and have not had a problem except my pre order code wouldn't work when i got the game at 10am but it works now.

[segmentnext]

Pre coder code issue was fixed by the developer later.

[Mastodon]

If you don't want glitches and errors I would suggest installing the game to your Harddrive. Once done the game is pretty smooth. I went 7 hours with it uninstalled and it was a bit choppy at times. I installed it and went around 4 hours now and its smooth as baby skin - with BBQ sauce...

[NoOoB101]

I have it installed and it has frozen on me twice. But then again..it's not like I didn't expect any bugs or anything after playing fallout 3. I don't know why people think this would be less buggy.

[madjedi]

Ah hell, i loved fallout 3, but was hoping new vegas was going to be more stable, but i guess not, they better patch it soon.

[chak_]

no crash or anything so far.

Just framerate going mad for nothing, droping from 60 to 30 in a blink of an eye

And quicksave problem too now that I think of it.

Great start for the moment anyway, can't wait to get back home

[gfunkera10]

LOL......I've logged 11 hours so far in the game (been playing all day) on my PS3, and haven't had one freeze. I did have one minor glitch where an enemy I killed in VATS fell through the ground, but that was more funny than annoying.

[phantomexe]

Wife played it about 7 hours on the ps3 and nothing bad yet, but i'm waiting for it to happen.

[frostypants]

The box has "Bethesda" written on it, no? They still haven't completely fixed the games they released 15 years ago.

[creeping judas]

Played it on the 360, no complete game freezing. But I did notice some screen tearing on the intro video. The game does freeze for a second only everytime you are travelling long distances. Maybe that would change if I DL the game to my HDD??

The only f**ked up things I've seen so far are a gecko stuck inside a rock, and a tree that fell from the sky. The tree was just part of the standard trees that grown on the ground.

Still enjoying the game though.

I. Seen a flying two headed cow ain the dino town. It was trying to walk up the stirs and had no room so it just flew through the air. I also had it freeze once and multiple enimies getting stuck on the landscape. I have the 360 vversion. I hope it patches soonk but the game is fun.
