I found an automatic crash to desktop bug. It was not present to me yesterday. When I press a key to bind an object to it using the Pip-Boy, it automatically crashes to desktop. I didn't have this problem yesterday. Aside from the other problems most have faced the game runs fine. I used the .dll thing to fix the NPC slowdown, other than that my game is on modified. Running Windows 7 on an Alienware Aurora with an nVidia card, New Vegas is run through steam..

Does anyone else have this glitch or is it just my game? If so, would reinstalling help?

UI issues.
-Merchants dont display their name between the arrows unless you click an arrow and go back
-Campfire the line at the bottom of the ingredients does not line up with the sides of the box.

Still have the NPC FPS issue even with the latest Nvidia driver. I hope this one is a top priority.

Boone and Ed-e ignore the aggressiveness setting and seek out enemies. This is particularly painful in Vaults where they might get overwhelmed and you can't figure out which way they went. In Vaults, you can be sure they weren't fired on first. Note that I have used the console to bring them to me after they get lost or I forgot I left them on "wait here" mode.

For the faction bugs, are players sure they are not wearing enemy armors when the factions seem to change? Just saying...

It's not just Boone and ED-E, it's every companion. The "passive" setting has been broken since FO3 - at least for Bethesda it has, modders fixed it with apparent ease. Yo devs, how about hiring some of those guys since apparently they're so much better at this stuff than you are?

After completing Veronica's quest she just sits outside BOS bunker. If I fast travel she doesn't follow me.

Hello name is Eric or Gamenut. I am brand new to the forums. I have had Fallout New Vegas for only about 9 days I think. I wanted to add my bugs because I am stuck until they are fixed. Technically I could end the game however seeing as a lot of the Side Quests effect how the game ends I don't want to end it then realize I already spent about 8 days running around doing the quests and then not get a good ending. I won't say which quests or how it effects the ending as they are spoilers.

My bugs are as follows:

Boone's second side quest (I forgot to forget) is not triggering. I talked to one of the people mentioned in the strategy guide. The second person I can talk to who is called Bitter-Root does not show. The guide says he is in Camp Mccarran in the 1st Recon Tents (outside first tent on the right when you enter the camp). He is not there same with Betsy (free quest).

Lily's side quest is not triggering. There is a quest to help with her mental issues.

ED-E's side quest is also not triggering. I tried to Lorenzo however he had nothing to say. Same with the person the Old Mormon Fort. The only person that said anything was the woman at the simulators next room over from Lorenzo in Hidden Valley, BoS Bunker. I did other quests and spent 11 days doing so after it happened.

The side quest Return To Sender is not completing. When you go to the person mentioned you tell him about it and nothing happens. Accuse him of it and he just goes to his office and shoots himself resulting in a failure of the quest.

The Cure for Jacobstown is also not working properly from what I can tell.

Last but, not least is the Casino bug. If you have something effecting sneak like radiation you can't bring in the .22 Silenced SMG. I think the other weapons are not working with the 50 sneak... I can't confirm this though.

That is all I have.

I'm having an issue where the dumb dialogue you get from having a low-intelligence character isn't being triggered.

Straight after using the SPECIAL machine, the Doc comments on my character's low intelligence (INT 1) but for the eight hours after that there was no dumb dialogue or special dumb dialogue options at all.

Shame for the rough start to what I personally think is a really amazing game : D

I found problems with the "Oh My Papa" quest and posted a http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1131606-bug-report-quest-vms45-oh-my-papa/page__p__16577375&#entry16577375 here on it.

Companion bugs!

Lily's side quest isn't triggering. It triggered once for me, but I ran into freezing issues related to another quest (see an old post of mine from the previous thread for details) and I had to load an older save. It hasn't triggered since, even though I've had her as my companion for 10+ hours after that.

Cass's quests are just buggy all over the place. When I first met her, the VERY FIRST THING SHE SAID TO ME related to my having killed the Van Graffs (which I'd done earlier for the Brotherhood). Screenshot: http://imgur.com/SwwTm.jpg
After that, I went and did her quests without issue (although she talked to me about the raided caravan immediately upon joining - is that supposed to happen?) until I was supposed to confront Alice McCafferty. Talking to Alice does nothing and killing her does nothing, so I'm assuming this is bugged as well.

Here's another leftover bug from Fallout 3: http://imgur.com/ZWrUG.jpg . Did Bethesda/Obsidian even bother to fix a single FO3 bug before releasing this game?

Also, how about STICKYING THE DAMN TOPIC and maybe changing the topic name to "Bug Report Thread" so people know to come here instead of starting new threads?

About 1/4 of the time when I fire my weapon, it doesn't fire at all, no jammed sound is played, and my character doesn't reload or anything, it just doesn't fire, like my click goes undetected.

Also, just as irritating, NPCs will look like they're shooting at me (gun jumps with recoil, they stare at me angrily) but no sound is played and there is no visible projectile, I can't tell whether or not it's actually damaging me or not either.

Both of these are very much repeatable.

my bug is with ranger in Novac, once he teaches you the take down if fades out and fades back in. Once that happens I try and talk to him it and zoom in and out and no dialog box come up. tried going back to an old save and still the same.
Another bug is talking to a person that can repair your items. when you ask them to repair it takes a long pause and does one of 2 things crash or go into repair mode. But once you click on repair all it crashes. and again you load and/or start a new game and the same thing happens. But with that problem what you do is keep going to another town and get it fixed there come back to the merchant you had the problem and then it works fine.
I've also see a lot of clipping with the mobs walking on and terrain. like the upside down ants. fire geckos burning you from with in the ground.

I also have this. The main story is broken now

ATI Radeon 5970
Intel Quad Core 1.33
6 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 bit
All drivers patched and updated


The game is also seriously laggy for the video card computer set-up I have.

I got "The Whole Gang's Here" even though I haven't recruited Veronica. I think I've seen other people post the same bug.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I didn't get "Ol' Buddy Ol' Pal" until I'd recruited my third companion or so.

Ever since I installed the game its been horrible to play: The sounds dont work, the game crashes 10 minutes into playing, IMMENSE lag,NPC dialogue doesnt work(text shows up and lips move thats all).Someone plz help i'm upset badly with the game, i've had it on release day and once I sarted it up its been nothing but horrible.

Check out my post at the top of Page 2 for your first problem.

It's a huge issue that has be shelving the game for the time being.

(Cut and paste from main thread)

Posted Yesterday, 11:20 PM
- There are definitely a few companion bugs. I lost Boone once and had to revert to an earlier saved game to find him. He's Missing again after I dismissed him to Lucky 38 from Black Mountain. I waited at least 7 game days and he has not yet returned. This was after I successfully completed his I Forgot to Remember to Forget quest.

- After I successfully finished the ED-E My Love quest ED-E no longer helps in battles and freezes in place when a battle begins. (I have yet to revert and see if I can get it to happen again)

- REX has disappeared from my Presidential Suite. I correctly dismissed him to the Lucky 38 AT the Lucky 38 (in the Presidential Suite) I didn't discover he was missing until I went to replace ED-E with Him. This was after I successfully finished his Nothing But A Hound Dog quest.

Update on ED-E -

I reverted to a previous saved game and re-completed the ED-E My Love Quest in Mormon Fort. Waited the three days and ED-E again shows up. Tried battle immediately and ED-E freezes in place where she would usually play her little song to warn me of enemies. She stays in that place no matter what command I give until I hit a Load screen. She then follows me properly until a new battle begins. Repeat!

I also tried the Hidden Valley ending and the same thing happens.

If you like having ED-E with you, Don't complete her quest.

Update on Boone Missing -

After reading the FAQs I did as recommended by tech support and tried to find Boone by following the path that he would likely travel to get to the Luck 38. I fast traveled to Black Mountain and there he was... standing in front of a Super Mutant.. after more than two game weeks! He then started walking down the hill while I battled 4 mutants and he ignored them.

To try to avoid losing companions... leave them AT the Lucky 38... Don't leave them to walk there. (didn't work with Rex but it seems to be working with the rest)

Note - DON"T RELY ON QUICK AND AUTO SAVES - GET INTO THE HABIT OF SAVING EVERY 10 OR 15 MINUTES!!! I've played over 60 hrs and its saved my ass numerous times.

The bug about NPC's not equiping best weapons:

Make sure they have ammo! Their default guns don't break down or run out of ammo.

Ever since I installed the game its been horrible to play: The sounds dont work, the game crashes 10 minutes into playing, IMMENSE lag,NPC dialogue doesnt work(text shows up and lips move thats all).Someone plz help i'm upset badly with the game, i've had it on release day and once I sarted it up its been nothing but horrible.

I've found this to be really annoying as well. I couldn't put a finger on why it was happening, i'm glad you found out why!

I've actually stopped playing the game until there is a fix as the revolver style weapons are my favored and this makes the game unplayable for me.

The two fixes I've had the most success with, and which it sounds like you need, are the d3d9.dll fix: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778 (alternate ATI version which I haven't personally used: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34970 ) ; and adding an exception for the New Vegas .exe files for the FFDSHOW audio codecs if you have them. If you aren't able to do this, simply uninstall any codec packs you have (k-lite and CCCP are the most common). If you don't have the FFDSHOW codecs, then I can't help you there. The first fix will vastly improve lag/stuttering especially around NPCs, while the second will solve random audio issues. I hope that helps.


That reminds me, another bug is that there's a way to get him to teach you the take-down twice by passing a skill check talking to him after he teaches you as a reward.

More bugs from me:

-Being underwater for more than a minute will almost always crash my game. I have all water options turned to their minimum and everything except refractions and reflections turned off. This last time it caused such intense overheating that my laptop critically failed and shut itself down. My laptop usually runs relatively cool while running NV, it's only underwater that it goes crazy, and the crashes aren't always overheating related (if the temperature of the CPU immediately post-crash is any indication).

-There's a slight problem with the Evolved Centaur mesh post-decapitation: http://imgur.com/YR0sT.jpg

EDIT: Actually, it's only when I'm underwater in Lake Mead. Other places make the laptop hot and can cause minor slowdown, but I haven't had crashes except there - and I've had a crash every time I've ventured underwater in Lake Mead, without exception.

I have done quite a few plays of the game up to Novac and decided I didn't like the way my toon was designed, then I would start a new game. In all these restarts, I've noticed that I become vilified to the powder gangsters If I shoot back at any attacking powder gangsters, after becoming vilified in my very first game.

What I do now, is run by any attacking powder gangsters without returning fire and take the, 'I fought the law' quest from Eddie. I make sure I don't shoot at any powder gangsters until I'm on the last part of the quest heading to Primn. Then I return fire.

All it takes is killing one or up to four powder gangsters to become vilified if you were vilified in a prior playing of the game. Starting a new game or loading the auto save in the doctor's house makes no difference.

my most important problem, after each game load, i can hear the radio announcer (Mr. New Vegas) but when he plays a song, it's all quiet, and he even doesn't come back on, and no other stations come in, all this happening on my pip boy radio, but i can hear again after i reload, but goes away at next song BUT with other radios in the game, it works just fine. i wanna hear the music on the fly so bad..

other mentions...

not sure what triggers it, but right after i reload a weapon and run up to the creature or enemy to loot, i'll be stuck in a slow mo like reload and running into the body for like 5 seconds as i get shot up helplessly until it returns to normal.

coyotes and radscorps and ant go underground or into a wall and sometimes are stuck halfway underground, vertically on a horizontal ground, as if the physics engine gets confused and thinks a small pebble they step on is like the side of a mountain and shifts the enemy to a 90 degree angle.

getting low karma for robbing enemies like legion and powder gangers is just wrong. either this is a bug, or the worst part about the game.

compaions (only tested with e-de and boone) flat out disapear on me, not running off to kill something, just i turn around and nothing. i crept, overloaded for 20 minutes until my back mule boone decided to be corporeal again, and un ghostify himself.

in the helios quest, you promise the ncr to fix helios for THEM and while trying to re-aquire the mainframe on the ground in the east and west sections of the mirror field, i can understand the booby trapped west side, but why are there NCR hounds that attack me, and if i defend myself, the whole NCR army there tries to kill me? got my ass bit 5 times trying to access the computer and leave, lucky getting mauled by 3 dogs doesn't interrupt you work on the computer...

An exploit: You can go into NCR Correction Facility by using the Outhouse that is on the South Side of The Facility. You beam inside and sit on the outhouse.

Ed-e
-Attacking even when set to peaceful
-Going postal on NPC's that are friendly (green in the bar)

This makes him practically useless.
