A couple bugs

I want to thank you guys for the patches you have released so far. It has smoothed out the game play a lot and reduced the amount of crashes I have to suffer through and I appreciate it. I can actually play at max graphics with full view distance and not crash every twenty minutes which is nice. Below are a couple of bugs that I haven't seen get attention yet and figured I should bring to your attention.

The first and worst is a vats bug. Whenever I score a critical head shot in VATS my computer promptly freezes and reboots itself saying ith as recovered from a serious error. This has happened with critical hits in the VATS on other body parts but happens everytime I score a critical head shot. The first few times I thought it was coincidence but I have tested it repeatedly and it is consistent. This has rendered my VATS system unusable because I'm playing a luck character and almost every shot is a critical. svcks.

The second isn't nearly as major but as I walk around there is a loud clicking noise that happens. Nothing appears to make this noise. I can be standing still and it will come and go. Its a consistent click that happens every second for a few seconds than fades away. It happens pretty often and tweaking with the audio settings doesn't seem to fix it.

Those are the two I haven't seen mentioned. The only ones I experience besides that is the walking around random freeze. Since the patch I have removed the d3d9.dll file which did fix the game if I played on lesser graphics and seemed to lag my computer up if I put the graphics up. Without the d3d9 file it recommends my setting to high, with it to medium, but so far without it I haven't experienced the consistent crashes.

Good luck guys on fixing these problems at the pace you'll have to work at. As a e-communications and tech repair person I know you're probably swarmed and running like crazed rats. Thanks for the fixes so far.
