Did I accidentally pick up a beta version or something?

Got the game yesterday, here's the problems I've encountered so far

- game crashed during character creation the first time round
- rifles keep glitching out in first person. Character holds them weird or you can't see them at all, just two lines floating up to the sky or something
- sometimes can't look down sights, have to madly press the button till it decides to work
- sometimes when I try and snipe someone the bullet will hit something invisible in mid-air instead
- ground textures can sometimes load weird
- people going about their daily routines but always walking backwards in the process (looking at you lonesome drifter)
- random crashes
- replicatable crashes. weirdly i can't jump on top of trucks, that always makes it crash
- giant ants walking upside-down
- sometimes get the shield icon saying that my weapon DAM < their DT when shooting an opponent in the head when they're not wearing a helmet
- turned hardcoe mode off so i could skip a few days to let a vendor restock. turned hardcoe mode back on, died instantly
- some doors take upwards of a minute to get through
- lip sync randomly stops working
- sound & voices randomly stop playing

Are any of these bugs known or is there something wrong with my disk? Was a new copy

Jokes aside, that's a lot worse than normal.

Except the headshot part; DT is based on all armor put together, so even if not wearing a helmet, if an enemy has high DT armor, their head gets that same protection.

But all that other stuff... not normal.

Have Steam verify the integrity of the game cache, or whatever it's called, under properties.

Edit - or scratch that, I guess this is posted in the XBOX360 section. I always forget you can ''play'' this on consoles. Good luck.

All these bugs are known, but some happen more frequently than others. The flailing arms when holding rifles in first person mode, for example, happens to everyone, as do the crashes and the extremely bad loading times of new locations and textures. I've heard less complaints about the ants and have never even heard of the people walking backwards bug. The ants have gotten so bad in my game though, I can see dead ants getting shot through the air everytime I pass by Ivanpah Dry Lake. I'm just walking by and then suddenly a flailing dead ant comes flying through the sky. Every single time.

Anyway, take a look at these links, and you'll immediatly see that you're not alone.
