Caravan Not Working ?

Post » Wed Dec 15, 2010 6:28 am

I started again, as the new patch got released, got to Novac, brought alot from the guy in the store, played 5 hands of caravan won ALL 5, taking maximum caps, no the option to play caravan isn't there anymore?
I don't get it, does this mean i can NEVER play caravan with him again ? & If so, is this for every character you can play Caravan with ?
I thought you could play an infinite amount of times ?
Im confused, has it got something to do with the Ante Pot (I have no clue what that is)

Could kind soul clear this up for me ?
Thanks in advance!

Im on PS3, with latest patch.

Or if you were playing against Cliff Briscoe, try buying stuff from him, then exit out of dialog. If it's because he was out of money, the option should be there when you talk to him again.

Don't know. I haven't seen that one before. Try fast traveling to another cell and then come back.

svcks that it's him, too. He's my go-to guy when I need to buy a bunch of ammo, simply because I can do that and get rich all in one go.

It wouldn't be because of money. I played 30 games of caravan in a row for the achievement and the guy got down to 0 money, in order to play I had to manually put the pot to 1 cap and it still let me play.

I'm going to say it's a bug/glitch.

It could be an intentional change to remove a money exploit. Limits you to five games with an individual, perhaps until a certain amount of time to pass.

Question is: Do the opponents use face cards against you now?

I thought that, because i did the same on my first play through..

So your saying a certain aspect has been adding in the patch to make you only be able to play a certain amount of games in Caravan ?
Ive waited 6 days and the option is still not there..
Ill remove the latest patch and see if that fixes it, or makes go back to how it use to be.
But still, Caravan was how i made my money, limiting me to 5 games per character is pretty dumb

So far, you're the only one I've seen mention it.

When the patch hits the PC I may be able to tell you more.

It is and it isn't, i just like playing Caravan and earning money, but if thats the case how would i earn the trophy's ?
I just want this clearing up, seeing as noone can, could i contact the devs or something ?
I know they'd done some work on Caravan in the new patch, because its listen in the update/change thread, id just liked it clearing up basically, if its a bug, or im not able to play more than 5 hands of Caravan with each playable character..

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that the patch for PS3 came out already. Well looks like it's time for me to do an update and create a new character. Be back in a month or so.
