OK so here is a new one I can't play the effing game anymore without it just freezing up on me after a few minutes what the heck? How was this patch supposed to help again? Sigh... I hope they come out with another patch sooner than they did this one.

I just confirmed this bug post-patch, saved a game on monday, quit to the dashboard, started the game and loaded the save, its sunday again. I even started a new game to see if this was not a pre-patch save issue, but no, bug still happens in a new save.

How come your current day is not saved?

It's incredible the number of bug this game has that where part of a basic feature of the gamebryo engine, day management exists in gamebryo since Oblivion, how can they [censored] this up?

After I freed the captives from the Legion in the quest "Booted", and killed the Legionaries, I later came back to the camp to find Recruit Decanus (I think that was who it was) sitting in a prisoner's position. This is the guy I killed, and he's not only alive, he thinks he is a prisoner and nobody else is there.

Which is exactly what I will do once people start listing the bugs that have been fixed for them.

i had this issue with regular Fallout 3 over and over and its has to be my most annoying and hated glitch.
is there EVER going to be a fix/patch for this embarassment? why put out a game that has this many problems? this thread is unbelievable! that there is this much wrong with this game. the company should be ashamed and heads should roll.
Any info on the first person perspective where the players arms go up and down please let me know what to do to fix it or what to do.
on fri. 12/17 i downloaded a patch ??? i guess that is what the "this game has an update" is when u go XBOX live?
thanks :foodndrink:

Seeing as the new patch arrived, which should have fixed most of these bugs, I'll start crossing out bugs that have been fixed and I'll start bolding bugs that are still in. I've started a new game and I'll update the list as I go on. Your help in listing the bugs that are or aren't fixed is also appreciated.

Still can't send Companions to the Lucky 38.

Started a new game to test bugs myself.

Xbox 360 bugs:

1) Encountered a permanent framerate drop (that I had never experienced before) just after leaving Goodsprings. Shutting down the console and reloading my game didn't fix it, so I had to load a previous save to make it go away. It was pretty bad, probably somewhere around 8-12 Frames per second. It happened just after I encountered a pack of giant radscorpions near the Yangtzee Memorial.

2) It's still always Sunday when you load a game after exiting to the dashboard or restarting the xbox 360 console, messing up merchant inventories and preventing you from resetting them with the Wait feature. Annoying, to say the least.

3) Game froze when I used the "Continue" button on the Main Menu.

Didn't encounter 1 or 3 before, prior to patching.

4) Minor annoyance... but Doc Mitchell's head still does a spasm when you create a character and he picks you up from the bed.

First the still present bugs
-Also suffered the fps drop after goodsprings, but had it pre-patch, near the cemetery and just once.

-arms dissapearing or above head still here.

-its always sunday when you load a save after quiting to dashboard.

-sometimes character will do nothing in VATS. If the enemy is really slow you come back after about 40 seconds, otherwise you'll get killed.

Now the solved ones.

-Game didn't froze nor save did get corrupted once, so I think this one is gone

The annoying bug I've run into is in the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite. I purchased the "Craft Locker 1" and Craft Locker 2" upgrades. I put items in the lockers, and when I leave the suite then return, all items are gone -- Lockers read "empty", and no items are in the menus when the lockers are opened.

Xbox 360 and latest patch bug:

Have Raul as companion and talk to ranger andy; pass speech check of 30 and get taught the ranger takedown. When exiting dialogue a 2nd prompt will appear saying you learned the ranger takedown (again) and the game freezes up. Happens everytime, so the takedown is un-learnable for me.

If you skip the speech check (and dont learn the skill) everything works fine with Raul's quest.

The list has been updated. Don't forget to report which bugs are fixed as well, I want to clean up this list.

Don't know if it is a bug and probably this have been reported before, but after the patch, in the quest "Come Fly With Me" when I meet Harland at the basemant, he talks to me and I get the optional quest of finding his/her friend. After that if I try to open the door in his room, go up the stairs and come close to him, he will get hostile all of a sudden, even if the door was open and nothing in his dialog indicates that he will attack me if I come close.

I'm pretty sure thats intended. You need to find his friend first before you're allowed up there.

See for yourselves

My character turned into a bat.

I'm still having problems getting back into Lucky 38, Victor won't talk to me, so without killing the robots I can't get into the suite or talk to Mr. House, which is required for the mission.

Xbox 360 Bug:

Using the Ranger Takedown (unarmed perk learned from Ranger Andy in Novac) may cause the xbox 360 to freeze. (I finally got the perk by using a different character that did NOT have raul)

Happened to me twice when performing the move within a timeframe of under an hour. Once was against a legion soldier, another was against a fiend. Both freezes seemed to occur at the same frame in first person mode.

Thank god I didn't buy the dead money dlc. After all these continuing problems I refuse to spend even another 10 bucks for added content. The vats problem is borderline gamebreaking for me, but 100 percent takes away all immersion for me within this game even if I do survive some broken encounters. The messed up thing is that I was enjoying the complete unpatched version, which surprisingly, for me at least, had very little game breaking bugs (I worked around them). However, when the latest patch was released, I downloaded it because it fixed some things that I definitely wanted, such as legion assassin encounters, ncr radio, and quite a few other things. So now I'm stuck with a very annoying vats bug, not to mention quite a few other problems, and my only option to delete the patch and lose things I wanted in my playthroughs. Just doesn't make sense and only angers me.


I would never say I was ripped off, because what I consider being ripped off is a 15 hour game that's mediocre whole way through, but I expected much more with this latest patch and I'm more disappointed than anything else.

posted these on the other glitch thread, may as well post them here...

three glitches i've come across

1) there is no way to cure a poisoned companion...their health will slowly degrade until they die, and telling them to use a stimpack kills them immediately. equipping them with antivenom has no effect either...

2) i think this might only happen with jury rigging, but i'm not entirely sure. i was dressed in Brotherhood T51-B power armor when i came across another suit of power armor that was unassociated with any other faction. i used the Brotherhood armor to repair the regular (green) T51-B armor while i was still dressed in the brotherhood armor. because i never officially "unequipped" it, the brotherhood armor somehow became ingrained in my characters DNA. i was getting attacked by the NCR no matter what kind of armor i was wearing....luckily i had an earlier save and was able to remove the brotherhood armor, which fixed things...hope that makes sense...

3) an overturned big rig has appeared on the strip...the game froze when i first discovered it...it's still there but no longer causes the game to crash...

Well, this topic is also for bugs that where fixed, so here we go.

-So far 20h into the game and didn't froze once

-Also no saves got corrupted

Can't complete You Can Depend On Me due to Doctor Hildern having no dialogue options so this and other quests that relate to him can't be completed so I can't recruit Cass either. I completed There Stands The grass though and I believe that is the problem...

i just downloaded the newest patch yesterday.
i hated the arms moving up and down bug that is what bothered me the most in this game and in Fallout3.
i think it is gone now...but not 100% sure it didnt happen to me after the patch downloaded yesterday.
Few questions since this is the only place i can get answers for this game.
#1 what is the VATS bug that i read above? what does it do/dont do
#2 after getting the patch yesterday vegas radio keeps playing the same song over and over. what is up with that?
Thanks for any info.
:thumbsup:

Maybe with a new game, but not with an older one. Had no corruptions, no freezes before the patch. Since then has frozen three times, save corrupted once.

Its a bug where, when you activate vats, your character will do nothing and just stand there. Vats mode will not end (or will take a very long time to end) resulting in you taking damage or sometimes dying.

helios 1 still has molerat and dog displacement bug.

the NCR guard dogs still are agro. Work around for this is to take animal friend. at level 10. I tried it in a older save and it worked fine.

Also the arm movement bug is still around. arms move either up or down and prevent usage of pipboy unless you holster weapon.



I've had the VATS bug aswell, got lucky it was only bloatflys.
