Problem since installing patch - broken VATS and

Post » Tue Jan 11, 2011 2:33 pm

So my game has always functioned flawlessly. I run it on ultra settings and 8xAA getting 60 fps occasionally going down to 52-55, gameplay very smooth, in other words it was perfect.

Then Steam downloaded v 1.2.0

Now half of the times when I enter VATS, the fps drops down to 0 - 2
The first time it happened I thought the game was going to crash, but it's just insanely low fps which render the VATS action unplayable. I exit VATS, the fps shoots up to 60 once more, and then if I re-enter VATS it keeps at 60 fps with no problem.

Well, no problem other than being somewhat game-immersion-breaking........

I was speaking to another player who has a similar problem since the patch, only his apparently appears at random and not only during VATS.

He told me to try and re-verify the cache files and see how it will refuse to verify.

In fact I tried to re-verify and got the message "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".

I did Gstaff's suggestion to delete the ini files before re-verification (http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1123616-game-updates/page__view__findpost__p__16656679) and I tried 3 times and still got the above message.

Why does my game cache refuse to be verified?
Has this got to do with my VATS problem?
Since this started happening only after the patch, is the patch causing the problem?

Here's my dxdiag (in spoiler tags) below just in case:

InstallScript.vdf is file that ALWAYS fails the check - it's a Steam issue , not a game issue

There is a log file you can read to see which files failed

It is in fact:

So my game has always functioned flawlessly. I run it on ultra settings and 8xAA getting 60 fps occasionally going down to 52-55, gameplay very smooth, in other words it was perfect.

Then Steam downloaded v 1.2.0

Now half of the times when I enter VATS, the fps drops down to 0 - 2
The first time it happened I thought the game was going to crash, but it's just insanely low fps which render the VATS action unplayable. I exit VATS, the fps shoots up to 60 once more, and then if I re-enter VATS it keeps at 60 fps with no problem.

Well, no problem other than being somewhat game-immersion-breaking........

I was speaking to another player who has a similar problem since the patch, only his apparently appears at random and not only during VATS.

He told me to try and re-verify the cache files and see how it will refuse to verify.

In fact I tried to re-verify and got the message "1 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".

I did Gstaff's suggestion to delete the ini files before re-verification (http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1123616-game-updates/page__view__findpost__p__16656679) and I tried 3 times and still got the above message.

Why does my game cache refuse to be verified?
Has this got to do with my VATS problem?
Since this started happening only after the patch, is the patch causing the problem?



Are you using mods?
What happens if you start a new game? Is the VATS issue still there?

I solved the problem -

1) Tell Steam not to update the game

2) right click on Fallout.exe in steamapps, click Properties, then Previous Versions, restore the previous patch (by copying it instead of the current Fallout.exe, and voila! :foodndrink:


So yes, my problem was caused by the patch and removing the patch removed the problem.
