So like most everyone on these forums, I too ran into the game breaking bug of my save files becoming DLC corrupted.

I know there's more so keep the responses coming! I'll also update this and state which ones get patched as that occurs.

"Temporary work around for the DLC error"
Thanks goes out to augoosto for running these tests and posting this

I did this for my fellow fallout fans,
because of the lack of feedback about the "forthcoming" patches, i have done 25 hours of in game testing to replicate this save game bug we are all having under all different conditions.
The DLC savegame error is not caused by any quest in particular, and its not actual savegame corruption, I have successfully replicated the DLC error in over a dozen different instances, at different points of the game.
The bug is caused by certain combinations of actions, events, and quests, not specifically by come fly with me. The strip and the main storyline need to be put off for quite some time in order to avoid the DLC error, i couldnt start the strip until well after the 15 hour mark.
For those of us who dont want to wait to play the game that we paid our hard earned money for, The ways to work around this game-breaking bug are as follows
-save constantly (I have tried to save around every 15 mins or so)
-try reloading your saves after completing certain events to make sure the bug has not manifested
-if the bug does take out one of your saves, go to the most recent working one, and switch quests to a different task. Once youve completed the new task, try moving back to the one that gave you the error before and it should work now.
-as you build up gameplay hours, the DLC error will become less and less frequent, the combinations that cause it most commonly seem to involve the end missions of questlines
- if you are doing faction missions, space them out so you arent working all the way through one faction in a sitting.

I know that it is ridiculous that these are the only ways to avoid these bugs, but i can promise you that if you really want to play, these methods WORK. I have tested it over the past 4-5 days pretty constantly, so that i could try to give you all some sort of reliable way to play until we get this patch we have been waiting for.

I hope this post helps some of you. This is not my job, i just want to help out my fellow fallout fans

try putting a 10mm Silencer on the Weathered 10mm pistol, i get a red triangle around my guy with an ! in it, and its not in my hands when i use it. nor when i fire it and use V.A.T.S does it show bullets hitting them. they lose health but it's messed up.

the Weathered 10mm pistol is a pre-order DLC item is it not? Ive heard of this bug before just didn't know the name of the weapon

Hello there, I'm new to the forum but I thought I'd make a contribution to the bug list.

I just encountered this bug, and it won't seem to go away even though I reloaded a save I made before I encountered it.

It happened when at the Cerulean factory when I was doing a quest: Went up to the computer terminal to use it, and instead of getting a computer terminal screen I ended up with a "black" screen that looks like the backdrop of the world map in the middle. I reloaded my save, and it still does it. Now I've learned that it also applies to when I use any terminal, pick a lock, and even when I try to zoom in with a sniper rifle through a scope. The end result is always the same, I get the black backdrop and I can see a fraction of what is "really" supposed to be going on... ex. lockpicking I see just the screwdriver handle moving around.

You should bump this thread every now and then so people are sure to read it (moderators/dev's and people posting bugs)

yea im checking it like every 15m or so. its kept pretty current so far as long as its on the main page its good at least til it gets stickied (fingers crossed) if it actually does at least we will know theres a moderator that at least checks the forums even if they arent reading any of the topics.

I have a companion quest bug.
Quest "ED-E My Love" After receiving the message from the brotherhood at the entrance to the Hidden Valley to come see them about ED-E.
There are four parts to the dialogue. The first three are from Knight Lorenzo of the brotherhood. The fourth part switches from the young American voice of Lorenzo to an older Hispanic man's voice. The older guys says "Could you bring your robot to one of our patrols, so they can examine it? I'll have the robot mark the location on your map." The actual text reads "Whenever you get a chance, could you bring your robot back to Hidden Valley So I can take a look at it?".
After dialogue stops, I'm unable to move, or access my pip-boy, or fire my weapon. Though I am able to look around and crouch. My companions aren't effected by this, they are able to move and engage in combat.
And the recent patch didn't fix this problem.

I really wanted to finish this quest, because ED-E is one of my favorite companion.

I also have a perk bug.

The perk Friend of the Night says that your eyes adapt quickly to low-light conditions indoors and at night. But it your eye's don't adapt indoors during the day. Only at night.
Also the light contrast switches sometimes when there are weather effects present or some kind of visual distortion occurs.

same here id like to know what info ED-E has about the Enclave personally i think it'd be hilarious if ED-E is all thats left of President Eden ; Thanks for the post keep em coming! *Bump*

I'm gonna post this here too, because I'm sure its a glitch and it affects gameplay. The Chairman Job Offer does not appear in the evidence options when presenting Swank the evidence against benny for shooting you and taking the platinum chip even after you've gotten it from Jessup .

If you stand on rocks and use V.A.T.S up at a...... C something bug (the tough ones) nest near the ranger outpost and Vault 22 you will fal into the rocks and be trapped.

Good luck keeping this list updated at the rate the glitches and bugs are coming in...

Glitching everywhere I go. Especially at Camp Mcharren. I have to save after everything I do because if I walk out a door the game will freeze up. This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure someone has said it before but I'll buy something from different merchants and it won't be in my inventory but my caps will be gone.

Here's hoping a patch to fix this stuff will come very soon.....

I'm not to sure if this is a glitch or not but after I listen to EDs message after going to the scraqe yard nothing happens. I tried just playing the message again but the quest still tells me to listen to the message.

I found this when looking for more info...

Benny is heavily guarded when he's on the casino floor. Your best bet is to get him when he is unguarded in his penthouse on the 13th floor of the Tops Casino. At the front desk of the Tops Casino is a man named Swank. If you have Distinctive Cigarette Butts (found in the graveyard near Goodsprings), Engraved Cigarette Lighter (from Jessup in the Boulder City Shootout quest) and the Chairmen Job Offer (also from Jessup) then you show them to Swank. These items will convince him to let you into Benny's suite. (Note: sometimes you don't get an option to show Swank the Chairmen Offer, even when you have it. It may be a bug in the game.) The elevator to the suite is on the ground floor, in the southwest corner. You can also convince him if you have a speech skill of 45 or more. Once there you can kill Benny and get the Platinum Chip.

Not sure if thats right but you may need to have all 3 of those items to have that choice. But its also listed as a bug so onto the list it goes!

Just as a quick note for all new posters if you're extremely vague I cant really add the glitch to the list, I know your talking about the cazador but not specifically what rocks but between X and Y is a pretty big space.

I have a issue in the train tunnels between Raul's Shack and Brotherhood of Steel Safehouse. When I get to the stairs that leads up to that small room inside the tunnel, I just fall through the stairs. I am unable to make it into that small room.

Nightkin fail to uncloak upon engagement and after death while doing the Fly Away With Me quest. Seems to occur after loading an autosave more often.

http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101020191919AAw94d8

Came out of the tunnel from vault 19 and went over to a ranch house with powder gangers in it, killed them, came out and it auto saved, went over to the rock crushing yard and found several feinds and killed them all found the entrance to south new vagas and got shot from behind by a feind and died. it loaded me coming out of the ranch house and I could not use the look stick. I could walk forward and back, but the look did not work at all. I reloaded, same thing, went back into the house, same thing, changed to a different controller, same thing.... I cannot play now....

also dont forget the lucky 38 casino glitch where you get stuck in your penthouse room because you cannot talk to victor to let you use the elevator.

Also, if you're a female with Black Widow you can trick him into taking you to his suite for "a good time". It's pretty funny to do it this way. I'm also assuming you could do this with a male toon if you have the appropriate perk.

Another bug I found happens when you take ED-E to Gibson scrapyard after doing "Nothin but a hound dog" results in Old Lady Gibson only talking about the (rex's) brain. The other dialog choices are for repair and buy/sell.

I'm sure some of you have either heard of this glitch or have experienced it first hand but I didn't see it posted so I guess I'll bring it up. There is a glitch that has happened to several people, including me, where for some unknown reason the gate to the New Vegas Strip is locked and requires a key to open. Most if not everyone this has happened to has already been inside the strip but when they try to get back in after leaving they need a key that apparently doesn't exist. This makes completing the story missions and a lot of side quests impossible. I've heard that the only way to get around it is to use the monorail but if someone is already suffering from the "I Put A Spell On You" questline bug then there is no way to get to the strip.

Only the 2nd time i've seen a post about that one though, what a terrible bug... keep 'em coming folks. =D

Just a quick update, it seems to affect all guns with scoping capabilities at the moment. Turning the setting for 'True Iron Sights' on/off doesn't affect the glitch. It's pretty annoying, because now I can't use scoped weapons, and I'm just randomly guessing for lockpicks. It also blocks off the view when playing slot machines, making it impossible to see what the results of a spin are. Doesn't affect blackjack tables, and doesn't look like it's affected any other terminals. The black screen looks like the 'screen' from the Pip Boy, except enlarged and not displaying anything.

Edit: Binoculars too, here's some pics cause I'm not making stuff up:

Another... glitch? I guess that's what you'd call it. Or more properly, a huge typo.

While inspecting the body of a prosttute, the dialog box says:

"This girl appears to have been tortured for several hours and then murdered. Judging by the rate of livor mortis, you guess the body has been here for less than a day."

:facepalm:
