Why havent i read about this problem?

Stutter, CTDs, save issues, whatever. What about the crazy gun animations? When i first fire up the game i have to deal with funky gun animations. I cant be the only one. This seems worse than the other issues i read about. This happens on my PC version and my 360. The guns drop out of view, disapear when crouching, hang up above my head etc. It seems to go away after awhile while playing. Does anybody else have this problem? is there a fix?

my problem with the guns is sometimes when equipping a weapon on my back or readying a holstered weapon it will actually shoot with a spread of a shotgun or even worse, ive seen my bullets land right at my feet when ive aimed down range with a sniper rifle. a perfectly accurate perfectly undamaged rifle at that. but it would resolve itself after switching to another weapon and switching back. Ive had the same issue in FO3 and it baffle me why they havent fixed this.

But this can definitely be a problem with your sneaking and your bullet decides to everywhere but where your pointing, leading into a [censored] up situation.

also your best bet it to not use true iron sights moed, the iron sights sway and is not representing where the bullets flight path is.

If you want to check how far the sights of your weapons are unaligned. switch to 3rd person, aim down your sight while still in 3rd person, and while holding up your sights switch back to 1st never letting go of your sights button and you will see the crosshairs where it lines upw ith the sights. The bullets always try to move along the sights path in 1st person, and almost all weapons are off by a huge margin. in particular teh hunting rifle is one of the worst.http://img841.imageshack.us/f/falloutnv20101028073543.jpg/

Never ever had this problem and never heard of it before. Sounds like it's probably your machine and not the game, or maybe a combo. Really wierd, kinda funny though, gives a whole new meaning to "can't hit the broad side of a barn."

Hope the link above works. This vid doesnt show how bad the glitch can get, but i hope you get the idea. Doesn't matter if true iron sights is on or not. Again, it does this on my PC and XBOX. But its worse on PC. I like to play on the PC because its usually 60 fps, mods, etc.
