Game Breaking/Annoying Bugs + WITH VIDEO

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 11:45 am

Rather than clog up the forums with hundred of posts that just barely describe the issues I’m having, I’ll make some videos so that people can actually SEE the problems in action. First of all, my system specs, in case anybody cares:

AMD XP 64 5000 DC (Shush, I’m upgrading soon)
BFG GTX 295
2gig DDR Ram (Shush again, upgrading soon with mobo/cpu)
X-Fi Fatality Pro Sound Card
XP+SP3 (Deal with it… For now.)
Latest Drivers/updates for everything, even tried rolling back to older nVidia drivers too, no dice.

Anyway, on with the show…

Video One - Missing Terminal/Lockpick Screen

Ok, excuse the rough voice, haven't long woke up in this vid. Also excuse the amazing Avatar style HD video my iPhone 3gs pumps out. Woot.

Anyway, this video shows the computer terminal bug while using 360 pads on PC. Worth a note is that the FIRST time you do this on a 360 pad, the screen will blur and you will hear the tapping of the keys etc as if the UI is there, but nothing will show. Pressing cancel/back will take you out of the UI as normal, but going into it again will cause it to just quit straight out...

There’s talk of this happening with the lock picking screens as well... The joys of a rushed product with no real QA time...

Video Two – Can’t Search Dead Bodies

This ones an odd little bug… Sometimes, you just can’t search dead bodies after killing them. You have to actually move the dead body first, and then you can search it… Game breaking? No. Annoying? Yes.

Video Three – Weapons Won’t Fire
This one IS a deal breaker. Sometimes, you just wont fire your weapon, no matter how hard you try, it just won’t work… Until it wants to. This video shows just how random it is. Give it a watch… (FYI this bug was also in Fallout 3, but very rare. In New Vegas it happens ALL the time, ugh)

Video Four – Bloom/HDR On SLI Cards Causes Screen To Flicker

This is a bug that was in Fallout 3, and they just never bothered to fix… I’m running a BFG GeForce GTX 295, which is of course an SLI card… But when running SLI, the bloom/HDR are totally out of sync at times, and this causes your screen to flicker. Its not to bad at night, but in the day time it causes some serious head aches. Its also a random bug… Sometimes it will show, others… Not a sausage.

(No video yet, just waiting to spot it ingame again).


As I see more bugs, I’ll post them here. Feel free to upload and post your own videos if you spot them.

For some reason I can't edit my post, no idea why, the forums give me a permission error? Lol?

Anyway, an update to the weapon firing bug... Its not just firing. Reloading, VATS, Going into the Pipboy... Its all the same. Sometimes, it just WONT work... Very odd...

When I put some items on ED-E in Vikki and Vance Cansino, everyone in there opens fire on him until he's dead. They have no problem with me.

Like I said, I have no idea why I can't edit my posts, otherwise I would add this to the first one... Ugh...

Oh, I managed to get power armour easy enough, but had to sell it because I ahven't had the training yet...

Anyway, bug time!

Video Five - Model Spazzing Out

Not a huge one, just a stupid error, but odd none the less... Seen it about 10 times so far. The model gets stuck half way into the ground, and the verts spaz out. Also seen enemies in the floor, and people stuck in walls/doors.

Video Six - Achievements Not Unlocking

Yeah... So, heres the thing, I actually managed to get the achievement to unlock, but after loading my save up to make the video, it re-locked (lol?) and is greyed out again... Amazing. Anyway, pretty simple to explain really, I get to level 10 and... Nothing. The joy... Also, while making this video, you'll see a bonus bug at the end of the video... Woo!

Video Seven – Weapons Won’t Fire, Can't Reload, PipBoy Won't Open etc...

Just like the other weapons won't fire bug, only now I managed to catch it messing up everything else too, so no reloading, no PipBoy, can't Zoom, can't Fire... Serious issue is serious.

Video Eight - Door To Nowhere

It makes total sense to have a building 500x500 feet have an inside with about 4 rooms. Really, it does. But regardless... Check out what happens when you manage to jump up to the second floor in here...
