I didn't see this one

Dark and Blurry: Although I do not know the cause, during my gameplay the screen becomes dark and blurry, can be very obnoxious.

I've seen this explained somewhere on this forum.

I think it has something to do with rounding up (I think you get 31 skill points per 2 levels)

Go to The vault, the fallout wiki. Under almost every article is a list of Bugs and the platform the bug is for.

Who actually tested this game for bugs???? Seems to me NOBODY did....

As much as this game frustrates me you have to know they did test it and take care of some of the bugs. Makes you wonder though, how bad were the bugs that they had to fix prior to release.

Quest: "High Times": After killing Dixon, his skull still floats in the air.

Maybe this only happens if his head gets blown off.

Didn't notice this on my first playthrough, but on my second playthrough (which got hit by the DLC bug 55 hours in and my earliest backup was about 20 hours before that), I noticed that sometimes the slot payouts would be wrong. Like the occasional max bet with two cherries would get me 400 caps instead of 1000, or I would have one cherry and I wouldn't get anything. I even had one time where I had 3 oranges and didn't win anything. Most of the time the slots worked correctly, but then that occasional no or incorrect pay out would happen. So, after the DLC error I decided to start a third playthrough with the same kind of build and saw the no/incorrect pay out thing once or twice, and then it seemed to stop doing it. Instead, I would get paid when I shouldn't be. I noticed this trying to hit 3 oranges at the Atomic Wrangle and had Lemon/Bell/Lemon, and got paid like I had 3 lemons. So I reset it in order to try to hit the oranges again and saw the bug happen again, where I had Bar/Bar/nothing and god paid for having 3 bars. I'm not exactly complaining about getting paid when I shouldn't, but something is obviously messed up, since there were times when I never got paid when I should have.

Three bugs I noticed that aren't on the list.

1. When asking your companions to either return home or to the Lucky 38 from Caeser's Fort (and you NEED to in order to meet Caeser), your companion will never make it to their destination because they can't get past the drawbridge to exit the fort.

2. Using the elevator in the Vault that has wild plantlife (sorry can't remember the number) your companions can get stuck either temporarily or permanently, don't respond to commands, or will occassionally wander around attacking anything at insane ranges and won't respond to orders or produce the companion wheel when you interact with them.

3. Helping Cachino assume control over Gemorrah (sp?) prevents you from completing the quest that involves finding a prosttute's lost love.

Some bug issues I have noticed with Veronica and "I Could Make you Care" quest chain.

If you do not have Veronica in the room with you when you achieve a quest - so physically next to you when you download the Bio-files from Vault 22, or when you are in the Armory of Vault 34 when you grab the Pulse Gun (say you left her at the vault entrance for some reason - like you don't want her to die on hardcoe mode). The quest updates in your Pip-Boy, but when you take Veronica back to the Hidden Valley Bunker and you enter the room with the Elder she walks up to him - says nothing, he says nothing (you can't select either for talking) for a few moments then after a bit you can talk them but the quest does not update. Even if you take Veronica back into the rooms where she then quips about how easy that was does not solve the problem. The only way I see of fixing this at this point without a patch is to reload a game prior to getting the quest target and making sure before you download the data or loot the Pulse Gun that she is in the room with you.

But as stated by others check out the wiki for Fallout New Vegas, lots of bugs listed there as well and what platform it is associated with, a good place to start - though I am sure it would be daunting task to fix them all, it still is probably the most comprehensive listing of all the issues.

I'm going to hold off with updating the list until after the patch, which will hopefully resolve most of the issues in the list, after which I can start the process of removing fixed bugs from the list (and adding new ones, if the need arises, but let's hope not). Thanks for all the help!

Here's my list thus far, what I can remember anyway.

360 Elite 120G HD install

Firstly on average one crash every two hours or so...ish!!

Stuck in hill in rocks going up towards Vault 22, reload needed. They're ten a penny though.

Weapon not showing in aim mode, reselected weapon, resolved problem

in fact has a tendency to wander anyway think its in her nature, cool idea but lost four hours of gameplay.

When i only had 49 caps, the money was taken, and the agreement to fulfil the deal was made but from that point on all mention of product was gone in speech options so product cannot be obtained and therefore the mission cannot be completed.

Those are the most glaring ones, I'll keep them coming.

Cheers

Using the Grenade Machinegun causes major slowdown on the Xbox 360, especially in an enclosed space. It might even be stressing the GPU which could damage some players machines.

Not completely sure if this a bug or what to put it under

game says disc dirty clean it with soft cloth when installed as well as now it stops installing to drive at 90% installed and saying disc unreadable and now I can't even play the game and next to never not have it installed on my HDD so I'm getting my disc looked at the video store Mr. Movie within the week.

In reference to my previous post regarding please be aware that I was wrong and dialogue did reappear after a couple of days. Sincere apologies to Bethesda and the compiler of the bugs list.

It's always sunday when you load your save game on the Xbox 360. This can cause problems with merchant inventories and prevent you from resetting them.

Edit: to clarify, it's always sunday when you boot the game up from the dashboard. You can save your game on friday but when you start the game again it'll always be sunday, messing up Merchant inventories.

I had the same problem. With 2 discs. The disc isnt actually unreadable as it always loads up and I managed to start a new character once and that helped me to be able to play the game again. Until I had played it for ten minutes - at which point it freezes. I gave up trying to play the game a few weeks ago. hoping the patch fixes this but I'm not holding out much hope.

Having a bit of a problem with the quest I Could Make You Care. I've ousted McNamera, then obtained both the Pulse Gun and the fully active E-Finder. However, when I go to present one of the two to Hardin, he treats me as if the quest doesn't exist, giving me only the dialog options about Elijiah and HELIOS 1. Is there any way I can get the quest back up and running or am I going to have to try again on a new save file?

that a relieve I thought it was my Xbox disk drive because of my last system the PS2 and the infamous DRE's!



The game won't even start screen goes black like it's going to start. the disk drive spools up and then makes funny sound and then says disk unreadable. Now the games will NOT load and
that means that I'm not able to play my game. (makes me want to go Office Space on my Xbox 360).

My companions ED-E and Cass are nowhere to be found and everytime I try to go into the strip the game stops working and when I hard reset the save file is corrupted. I had a couple of glitches here and there. This is the only one that I can't get around.

Most annoying bugs for me so far.

COMPANION WEAPONS CONFISCATED FOREVER: Happened sometime while I was hopping between casinos, Gomorrah and The Tops. Now all the weapons Acarde was holding for me are gone, and he doesn't even have his default weapon.

SHOTGUNS CAUSE FREEZING: It seems the game simply can not handle some fast shot-gun action. Any time one of my companions has a shotgun with a decent rate of fire the game has a VERY high 75-100% chance of freezing during combat. I suspect the same might be true if I used shotguns more.

DEAD hoker: In Gomorrah where you find Clendan's dead hoker. Found her there, but she was alive and walking around the room, but when you click on her, she reacts as if she was the dead hoker, and you are able to continue your story. I suspect this happened because I discovered the hoker and the room before I discovered Clendan's study.

If you want to add this to the list I added the Maple Stock mod to the Cowboy Repeater and it didn't reduce the weight of the gun. I was pretty disappointed.

Also, before getting the "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" quest, Boone disappeared for a day or two. Not sure if that is supposed to happen or not but I was pretty confused on where he went. Before the quest unlocked (immediately after Boone said he didn't want to go to Bitter Springs) I fast traveled to the Bitter Springs Recreational Area. Maybe that was related to his disappearance.

I'm not sure if these bugs are reported...

After completing Cold Cold Heart Quest the game freezes when I try to buy and sell to the trvaelling merchants in Mojave Outpost and the one near the Nippon Road Reststop

After completing One for my baby quest the game freezes when I try and buy and sell from Cliff Briscoe in the Dino Byte Gift Shop...

The By A Camp Fire Quest is still highlighted in quests even though it's completed...

There are 2 soldiers stuck running into each other in the middle of Nelson by the camp fire...

This game is soooo buggy compared to Fallout 3... must have been a rush job to get it out before Xmas....

Thanks

Since people are still having problems with the game, even post-patch; I just want to bump this thread back to the top of the forum.

Downloaded new patch and now I cannot buy and sell to NCR vendor at Mojave Outpost or the vendor at Goodsprings that's on top of the other 3 already mentioned so hardly anyone left to trade with... cleared cache and it still isn't wotking... Game also crashes at Mojave Outpost Saloon/Barracks for no reason... Am trying to complete Ranger Outpost questsbut cannot give new signal instuctions to Charlie Ranger Outpost because I already did the quest where everyone has been killed by Legion... but it still keeps showing as needing to be done ?

This game svcks bigtime... Such a disappointment after fallout 3...

It would be helpful if the OP could strike out the bugs that have been corrected. I'm sure folks take pride in pointing out how many bugs/glitches are in this game, but it would be nice to see if the patch has addressed some of these things.
