Came home 4 hours ago, fallout was in the mailbox, played a time, no lagging so far, until i deceided to hunt geckos within the training tutorial-->> freeze.
rebooted my ps3 now, restarted the game--->> update available (19mb), im testing it now.

So i would say, you just post your issues after this patch here in this topic, so we see what issues are left.

just got finished playing for a hour.

-game is still freezing every 10 steps on travel.
- have to wait like 20-30 seconds for a load screen when im entering any room or building, even if i just was in there. seriously, for a game of this stature, should i have to comtemplate whether or not i feel like exploring a room because i dont feel like waiting 30 seconds for a load screen?
-killed a boat fly at the cemetery and got a 15 second kill cam of it falling down a hill. while i was shooting the other boat flies there, i got a quick cut screen of a scorpion that was no where to be seen.

the game is billed as a game that reacts to your play style. i helped the NCR at the Mojave outpost on multiple missions. helped them beat the great khan at boulder city. rescued 2 of their peeps. built up notoriety with them only to go to helios one and have them refer to me as a civilian that is not allowed in. then i leave the building and get shot up by their soldiers there. WTF??????

everybody is complaining about the travel freezes, so its not just me. how did this make it past their QA testers?

1-they tested on a far superior platform then the stock PS3(which is stupid)
2-they ignored the problem
3-they didnt notice it?

i really cant believe a franchise title like FO was released in this condition

I've received word that it's live in Europe today.

There is no update up yet at all

Will we have to start again when the update does arrive?Or is it recomended to start again when you apply the update?

Yes, it got available, 10 min before i started this topic. ( Germany) im playing the uk version, so i dont know if this makes a difference.

any mod or admin, could you edit the topic name to " First Update now available"

Done.

Why does Europe get the update before we in the US? Or at the same time?

also like to know.

I just downloaded and installed the update... And it crashed on my first attempt to load the game... ... ..

Second attempt to load the game and it.... loads... but whoa, that was one long black screen between the loading/sync trophy data message and the first logo to come up.

It's only 19MB so I'm not too hopeful that it'll do a lot.

Loading a saved game seems to be taking a LOT longer than before.

Edit: 30 seconds into the game and theres one of those tiny freezes/pauses that pop up every now and again.

Edit 2: Not been able to test this myself... but aparently this patch removes some of the big infinate cap/xp glitches and little else *slow claps*

Before the update I didn't have any problems, a little stutter here and there but I guess that's just probably loading the area ahead. I went and played another game for a bit, came back and had to download a patch. Small patch, took no time at all to download, "Great, time to play again!". I load up, walk through a house a bit, there's an enemy in here so I enter VATs to chop him up, the game crashed. "What the [censored]?". Radio carried on playing music but nothing responded, I had to hard reboot the PS3. Try again, I load up and enter VATs again. Crashed again. I tried several more times to make sure and the conclusion is:

I cannot enter VATs without crashing since this patch.

How does something like this get through testing?

I just downloaded and installed the update as well. My loading time seem to have lessened, but in return my game freezes up bad every time I enter V.A.T.S. mode. It's not just for a few seconds or even minutes, I have to stay out of V.A.T.S. or quit the game entirely. Before I installed the update, I had minor freezing issues like everyone else seems to have had, but it's impossible to play it now, if you expect to use all the functions of the game.

I must add that I've had absolutely no problems with freezing or crashing in any other game than Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

I looked forward to this game for long, so hopefully this Very Annoying Issue will be fixed ASAP.

I do not have that problem. I entered Vats and fire a weapon, left it fine.

Entered Vats and didn't fire... left it fine.

I don't even get that far. As soon as I press R2, before the VATs interface even comes up, it crashes.

Also are you really defending this game right now?

I'm having this exact problem. I press R2 and my game is out cold. No interface, nothing.

It's called reporting issues that you do/don't have since others will be considering to download this patch or not. Also... considering I've only made 4 posts on this forum, I really don't get where you're coming from with the are you really defending this game right now...

I just tested VATs again, only this time it was against an enemy that was defaulted hostile, again no problems.

Have you tried firing on a friendly? I've only encountered Legion, that are not yet hostile and that gives me the same crash issue as jorbas.

I've tried it aginst a friendly Mercenary, a botfly, and a variety of those yellow lizard things. Each time it works fine.

this game at the moment svcks i have the same bullcrap problem !!!! i wish i never installed the so called makeshift patch !! was working excellent and now as soon as i press r2 to enter vats and the shoddy game just freezes. This makes to my temper rising they better fix this bug quick or i will be claiming for a new tv and dual shock controller after i throw it at the tv through frustration !!!

Sorry, you just came off as a complete really devoted fan running in saying you're having no problems so I'm lying.

Just crashed again, tried to play on without using VATs, was walking along swinging my machete through the air and the exact same crash occurred within about 2 minutes of loading, completely unresponsive.

Amen to that! Though I might send mine out the window instead.

Also, I cannot fast travel either. That crashes the game too. Oh, hurrah. I love this game so much right now.

Got a temporary solution, delete the Fallout New Vegas installed game data and disconnect the PS3 from the internet. Start up Fallout and let it install itself again. You should now be on the original version. I'll wait until this is fixed before I update again.

was either going to do that or start a new game ad see if that works ??? might be the save file

do you people have these issues in goodsprings?

these are the things i could notice so far,

i just completed goodsprings ( i think i completed it)

the last quest i did was fighting the powder gang.

and here we have a bug, after completing this quest --->> i helped goodsprings to defeat them.

so after i talked to this guy again that needed my help with this gang, the whole town became red and started to shoot! but ive got the status "liked with goodsprings" and "vilified with poweder gang",
so i run away, waited 24 hours and came back, they returned to friendly again and i could listening to "thank-you-sentences" they said.

as second, the game stucks a bit, but minor, its ok so far, no freezes

BTW---> I turned OFF Autosave at all !!! and i dont have any DLC activated, downloaded, wearing or whatever.
and i am connected to the psn.

I got the same as the above guy. The game crashes as soon as I enter VATS. Didn't have this problem before the patch.

Utterly pathetic.
