Thanks for the input added these.

Can anyone confirm these as glitches?

I was vilified by the Legion very early (4-5 hours in) and they were sending assassins to kill me all the time. In order to survive, I wore Legion armor. Well, eventually I got Boone and I left him in the Dinosaur.

When wearing non-Legion armor around the wasteland (which used to result in assassins instantly attacking me on sight) they showed up as friendly.

I think this might have something to do with Boone's affiliation with the Legion. When I brought him with me, the usually friendly assassins went right after him.

I think there is a bug in which having Boone in your party turns all Legion attention to him instead of you, even if he's 1/2 the map away! I don't have another humanoid companion to switch him out for. If I did, I would use them and test to see if the Legion goes back to attacking me randomly.

Oh, and for some reason, the Nightstalkers seem PARTICULARLY bad at finding a path to the player.

I was in that one small cave where there is a Nightstalker Den Mother and 4-5 pups, and they literally ran circles around me w/o attacking.

I mean...it was free EXP, blood vials and tails, but c'mon...it was a joke.

This happened to me, too, in the cave near the Mojave Outpost. The pups just ran right past me from one end of the cave to the other, repeatedly, as if they knew I was there but couldn't find me in the dark (even though I wasn't "sneaking").

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been added, since I know other people are having it happen.

When exiting HELIOS One out into the solar panel field, there's a loud crashing noise (the one made when a Protectron falls or when barrels crash together). Whenever I look back, Arcade is floating about five feet off the ground, and moments later, Old Lady Gibson comes charging through the door with her four dogs and two molerats, all of which are hostile towards me.

Reloading the autosave corrects the problem, however.

I've had something similar happen, where I've entered the area you describe and Old Lady Gibson and her dogs show up right next to me. They weren't hostile towards me, however.

One glitch:
Arrived for the first time at the Gibson scrap yard and Old Lady Gibson keeps running away from me and says "watch out." If I corner her and am able to hit A to interact with her she talks to me like normal. Exit the conversation and she still runs away. I reloaded and this didn't happen again.

OH! I remember another one!

All of a sudden, when I went into the Dino Dee-Lite Gift Shop, Cliff Briscoe was 'fleeing' as soon as he saw me but did not turn hostile.

I diagnosed the problem, and here is the glitch:

Cliff is coded to be at odds with Caesar's Legion. When I went in with my usual Stormchaser Hat (+1 PER ) he was cool and sold me crap and played caravan.

But when I went in with my newly acquired Recruit Helmet (ripped off dead Legionnaire) he flipped out.

The only thing is this...helmets (to the best of my knowledge) do not change your affiliation, aka disguise. Only armors do. So why he flipped out when I was wearing a Legion helmet w/ my normal reinforced leather armor is beyond me.

I thought I lost a character much like how that Regulator woman in 3 would flip out because of Yao Gui outside and run off into the distance and be super hard to find.

heh after i saved goodsprings, i walked south into the desert, and here was a goodsprings guy just walking around, then all of a sudden he took off into the wastes at full speed, never to be seen again!


funny, i guess it was a glitch, but stuff like that almost makes me think that poor guy had finally had enough of the wasteland and snapped! lol

Does anyone know if they've posted anywhere specifically addressing bugs that they're aware of and are/have addressing/addressed?

I've done a few search strings for my specific problems (problem of the day: Weathered 10mm Pistol modification) and, long story short, there are a LOT of posts for me to dig through and these forums are a little to fancy/over-coded to rummage through smoothly on my laptop.


If anyone knows anything specifically about the Weathered 10mm Pistol mod bug, I'd love to hear about it, since I'm at a point where it would be a major, major hassle for me to go back to an earlier save to undo the modification. (Oh how easy all of this would be if we could just REMOVE them!)

For some reason my glitch didnt make the cut so to speak, so here it is again.

This is actually intentional because of Boone's past with the Legion, his distance to you is reguardless. If he's considered part of your group all legion are hostile to him.

Got free spears in Victor's shack. Here is how. I have the Tribal Pack, which gave me 10 free spears. I had three left. Decided to stash some goodies, including these spears in victor's desk. Upon transferring the last spear, 12 spears appeared in my inventory. If I tried to transfer these to the desk, they disappeared. So I reloaded from the prior save, got back to the point where I had 12 free spears and kept them. They are good!

Ran into Victor near the abandoned shack near the Yanktze Memorial. He won't follow me when I select that option on the wheel. He just stands there.

Also, the dialog asks him why he's in Novac when he is a long way from Novac.

I'm seeing a lot of bugs as well, including a few that are mentioned in the opening post (like the flailing arms in first person mode and the caravan card bug). Here are some of the bugs I encountered that aren't listed yet:

Questline Bug(s)

Quest "My Kind of Town": Completion can result in everyone being disgusted by the occupation of Primm by the NCR, even when you convinced Meyers to be the sheriff.

Quest "My Kind of Town": Meyers can turn hostile automatically at the NCRCF even when you don't accidently hit him. This shouldn't happen since he isn't a powder ganger.

Quest "My Kind of Town": Meyers can't be recruited anymore after completion of "I Fought the Law", he gets stuck in a dialogue loop.

Quest "I Fought the Law": Upon completion, Radio New Vegas always reports that the raid on the NCRCF by the NCR has failed, even when the raid was succesful.

Enemy NPC Bug(s)

A very bad spawning point just outside of Goodsprings, close to Victor's Shack, where powder gangers keep spawning out of thin air right beside you.

Visual / Audio Bug(s)

Some powder charges between the NCRCF and the Power Ganger Camp South are floating a metre above ground, at least in my game.


The devs should also check The Vault if possible, they list bugs for each quest.

In that cave on the shelf is a steel briefcase, it contains the other 2 suits you need.



Due to an issue where Victor could end up getting killed before you get to the Vegas Strip they patched it so that Victor is at every point he needs to be for you to progress to the strip. If you ask him about it he should say something about "Victor" being a program running in multiple Securitrons, or something to that effect.

For some reason I can't get into Silver Rush. No one asks me to take my weapons, and when I enter the 4 guards stand there. If I move past them I get shot, while 2 people stand (I think for the demonstration), but do nothing. I've tried waiting for hours in the location, but nothing progresses. Any way to fix this, or is this permanent?

Which shelf would that be? I've been all over the Hidden Supply Cave and have only gotten the one rad suit, helmet, gargnak the barbarian, and the med supplies.

I have encountered a bug at a door in fort Nelson near forlorn hope, its on one of the doors where one of the Legion higher rank soldier is at, one of the longer bunker places, there are 2 beside each other, there is a generator between the 2 and if you were to be south of the 2 bunkers and look north it would be the bunker on the right with an issue. Anyhow every time I try to enter the bunker the screen will go black as soon as i try to enter, before a loading screen even has a chance to show up. I also have an issue with creatures especially scorpions of all sorts being underground, and i have had a few lakelurks just vanish or become a glass-like looking object and not moving but still making noise, but that usually doesn't happen unless I am at the south to south-west end of lake Mead. I still have a lot of freezing issues, but who doesn't?

I just ran into another bug...

Bug Type: Game "Freeze"
Where: Camp McCarran
NPC Involved: Sgt. Daniel Contreras
Action: When exiting barter mode with Sgt. Contreras

What's Involved: The bug is when I accept his side quest to make a trip to the Gun Runners. If the quest is accepted, you'll receive the task. If you enter barter mode with Sgt. Contreras, you can trade as normal, but upon exiting, the game will seem to freeze and Sgt. Contreras will be in a frozen animation state BUT you can press the A button to get out of it. You can still reload a save, but won't be able to bring up your PipBoy, draw weapon, jump, etc.

*This happens only after you accept his task to meet with Isaac of the Gun Runners.

Sorry if these are reposted.

BOS quest line. Siding with Hardin locks up further progression, even after 30 days waiting. Just side with McNamara and you should be fine.

10mm Weathered pistol. Adding silencer makes the visual of the gun disappear but you can still shoot it and causes screen to be foggy.

EDE My Love. If you go to the BOS and don't agree the first time you talk to Lorenzo he won't reply if you try later.

Hard Luck Blues quest. If you go to vault 34 first, part of the quest gets added then later if you go to the sharecroppers and try to investigate the east pump station nothing updates and the quest arrows lead to nothing.

Heartache by the number quest. Talked to Cass and got her to sell company. Turned into Caravan company got exp and update, but quest still shows active yet its all grayed out.

Victor and the Lucky 38. As soon as I zoned into new vegas for the first time Victor spoke to me and I followed him to the Lucky 38. His faced changed from cowboy to cop on the way and we passed his corpse on the stairs. When I zoned in all the bots attacked.

The floor of the train station near the Boomers disappears so you fall through the ground every time you try to go up the stairs into the only room in the tunnel. Drops you back at the entrance of the train station and possibly on a bear trap.

I find it helpful to restart my xbox every few hours to lower the zone loading times. Not sure if there is a memory issue or what, but is a brand new xbox slim.

the exact same thing happened to me, reloading the save also fixed the problem.

also, small bug here, but i receive positive karma for steath kills, regardless of who i'm killing.

Anyone have their weapons fire automatically? I switched to different weapons even melee, same thing attacking nothing by itself. tried a gamesave from before glitch, on loading same thing happens.


First glitch for me in 15 hours of play

Copy Pasta from another site:

So I searched everywhere and I seem to be the only one to experience this. I am doing a quest to find a laser rifle in Scorpion Gulch just East of Hidden Valley. Me and Boone come across a RadScorp with a 0%HP health bar. We take it on and kill it, and open its death it exploded and has turned my entire game black and white, I kid you not. Reloading the game made it go away, but upon reload i got that "just finished taking a drug/poison" effect. So I am guessing somehow I was randomly poisoned by the exploding radscorp (despite being miles away sniping), but instead of exiting the shimmery effect, it just stuck in black and white.

Now whenever I enter the Gulch, I randomly get hit by this and it doesn't go away. Fast traveling sometimes removes the effect, but I have also noticed that Boone no longer follows me through fast travel everytime and I have to re-fast travel to get him to appear! Also notice in the video that the radscorps now sometimes don't have healthbars (the 2nd Bark one I fight has none, where as sometimes it will be one of the giants). So far I have to reload saves to get this to go away 100%.

Turns out this may be an issue with the Thermic Lance on Boone. Did some testing and investigating and I think this might be the cause. When he attacks Rad Scorps he somehow causes the game to go black and white. No idea why he is going with that weapon instead of his default.

UPDATE: Okay, turns out its NOT the thermic lance. I loaded up a pretty old save from before I even touched the lance and it still happens. However, after a long while playing around, I started to notice it wears off after about 2 mins. So I watched and now I believe that BOONE is getting poisoned or crippled by the rad scorps and its making my screen go all messed up. Its the only answer I can come up with. But its happening quite frequently when fighting radscorps and once with death claws (leading me to think cripple might be the issue)...
