Grimhound's PC Bug List (Ever-growing)

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:44 am

I've been playing New Vegas and making a list of bugs I've encountered.

  • Trudy gives you discount (or discount dialogue) even before you actually do anything to help Goodsprings.

  • Workbench list breaks when accessed.
    -Another account. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1124269-did-anyone-else-get-the-workbench-bug/

  • Caravan does not give any reward. Betting system broken.
    -Patched.

  • A Giant Radscorpion near Goodsprings returned to full health when killed.
    -Happened once. As of 10/20/2010 the anomaly has yet to repeat itself.
    -May be related to the Nightkin bug posted 10/25/2010 3:02 AM EST.

  • Objects not loading successfully in the world.
    - Dead Courier NPC in Primm failed to load until game was reloaded.
    -NCR items in Searchlight failed to load.
    -Various static corpse objects failed to load in Scorpion Gulch.
    -Disappear again on subsequent loads.
    -Appears to be a global issue rather than isolated to areas.
    -This is one of the most frequent and game-breaking issues. I've had quests broken until I fully reloaded the game several times due to entities not loading with the world.


  • When assaulting the NCR prison, theft of Powder Ganger supplies results in karma loss. (bug?)

  • Game deletes session saves when crashing. (uncommon)
    -When it crashes, it always rolls back Auto and Quicksaves. Make actual saves to get around this issue. Make them frequently.

    -Patched.


    (10/20/2010 10:02 AM EST)

  • The Lead Belly perk seems to not work for water drank from water sources and instead only on consumable items.
    -Can anyone second this? I tried the perk and a +5 Health/+5 Radiation fountain was still +5/+5 after taking it.

    (10/22/2010 12:23 PM EST)
  • The Cowboy Repeater has an issue where it can lock up firing, loading, weapon switching, Pipboy activation, etc. It leaves you only able to move until it resolves.
    -There are reports of this happening with other weapons including shotgun variants and the grenade launcher. Unable to personally confirm at this time.
    -Confirmed as of 11:36 AM EST, 10/26/2010.


    (10/22/2010 2:18 PM EST)

  • The entries on Mayor Steyn's Terminal in the Nipton Town Hall are mislabeled in reverse order.

    (10/25/2010 3:02 AM EST)
  • The floor in Walking Box Cavern glitches in the far room. (visual)
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/lFGEb.jpg[/img]

  • The Nightkin you kill in Novac respawns after a period of time and becomes a static NPC with no instructions.
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/SSSar.jpg[/img]

  • Corpses occasionally deny inventory access until moved with [z].

    (10/25/2010 6:18 AM EST)
  • Neutral NPCs will open fire on ED-E randomly.
    -Just happened. They started firing at it for some reason at the 188 Trade Post. Unprovoked.
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/nn9Tj.jpg[/img]
    (10/26/2010 8:56 AM EST)
    -Just happened again in the Vikki & Vance over in Primm.
    [img]http://i.imgur.com/vF6yo.jpg[/img]


    (10/25/2010 6:59 AM EST)
  • NPCs of hostile factions reset to neutral. Unsure if this is a bug or if factions are meant to calm down after a while.
    (10/26/2010 9:00 AM EST)
    -They seem to cycle back and forth. In my game the Powder Gang is again hostile after being neutral.

    (10/25/2010 8:39 AM EST)
  • When cycling different ammunition types with the Cowboy Repeater and certain shotguns, changing ammo twice will result in an instant full reload of the ammo selected.
    -Seems to affect any weapon with individual reloading rather than magazine reloading.

    (10/26/2010 5:51 AM EST)
  • Companions do not use better weapons when they are given to them.
    -I'm unsure if this if a bug of if NPC companions can only use default weapons, but someone posted it and I can confirm.
    -Several sources confirm this is a bug.


    (10/26/2010 10:41 AM EST)
  • When you help the NCR retake the prison, there is no event resolution. Meyers remains locked in the same bump speech as when the NCR is invading, thus making it impossible to complete My Kind Of Town by buying his pardon. Alarms continue indefinitely.

    (10/26/2010 11:01 AM EST)
  • Buying doubles of cards you already possess from merchants will cause the game to crash.
    -Seems to happen more when you buy them among a group of items. I have no idea how this works.
    -This has been reported previously in this thread by others. I've gotten the chance to repeatedly test and confirm.

Other bugs are detailed by others throughout the pages of this thread. If I get a moment I'll run through them and try to make a list to add to this post.

- I spoke with Trudy before doing anything in town. The magazine "Fixin Things" she had was 29 caps. I did the quest that got me faction with Goodsprings. When I talked to her, she said: "Alright, I'm gonna give you that special discount. When I looked at her inventory, the magazine was 20 caps. She doesn't give the discount before doing anything.

- I used the Workbench outside the general store, and the list worked fine. It wasn't broken.

- The first Caravan game you play is against someone who isn't betting any caps. You won't win anything because it's to teach you how to play.

- Haven't encountered the Radscorpions yet

- Haven't had any issue with objects loading in the world.

- Played for 4 hours, no crash.

Here's some things I've noticed in about 3 hours of gameplay:

-Sunny's dog (Cheyene) eyes were floating beside it's head for the first tutorial missions. After completion they returned. http://imgur.com/iJ1Av.jpg
-Victor, after having talked to him for the first time, stopped "driving" around, and instead was glitching, or teleporting, his way back to his house. Basically he would look like he was standing still, but he was teleporting about 5-10 feet in the direction he wanted to go.
-On my way to Primm, I encountered a random NPC who was also doing the same "teleporting" (for lack of a better word) in the direction she was going. I couldn't interact with her however. She was wearing a white shirt and tan pants, her name wasn't showing up, sadly.
-The deputy you rescue in Primm was floating with his head stuck in the ceiling of the casino across the street from the Bison. This is after I rescued him and told him to get out of there. I could talk to him just fine, he was just glitched in the ceiling some how. After I left that casino, he came out behind me. Thought I'd make mention of it.

Possible bugs, or weird game design:

-Looting the Powder Ganger's West camp, you lose karma. Not sure how it's considered "bad" when they are trying to kill you, but whatever.

Technical issues:

-Quick save and auto save get erased if the game crashes, or you exit the game manually. The manual saves seem to work fine so far.
-When using HDR and AA, white and black squares flash on screen randomly. This is with a Nvidia card (GTX 480). Turning off HDR or AA fixes the problem.

When I talked to her, she said: "Alright, I'm gonna give you that special discount. When I looked at her inventory, the magazine was 20 caps. She doesn't give the discount before doing anything.

- The first Caravan game you play is against someone who isn't betting any caps. You won't win anything because it's to teach you how to play.

Then she uses the quest dialogue out of place. The first time I asked her what she had to sell she used post-quest dialogue wherein she mentions you having a discount.

The Workbench list issue seems a bit difficult to replicate. The first few times I accessed the workbench in Goodsprings the list of requires materials spazzed out and would freeze.

I've played multiple winning games of Caravan against different NPCs with seemingly no reward.

My main problem with the game is that it randomly crashes. Fallout 3 also started doing that when I was finishing up getting the achievements last month or so. Here's a list of some of the few times that the game has crashed for me:

Talking to the bartender and convincing her to help out in the quest.
Killing Geckos during the tutorial and saving the girl.
Walking out of the saloon past Easy Pete.
Walking towards the cemetery during the tutorial quest.
Turning on the Pipboy's flashlight in the gas station.
While in the transaction menu in the general store.

It's always a bit random and it always occurs anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes during gameplay. The screen minimizes (leaves a blackened window up) while the sound still plays. Soon after, the error report will pop up and the window will close. I do realize that it could be a memory leak, but I have no clue how to remedy the problem or if its even possible.

Been taking bugshots.

Issue: Resources not loading.

Issue: Falling through terrain into inescapable box.

(Yes, fast travel can work to free you. It's still a bug, even if generally impossible to catch due to the nature of these sorts of things spanning the game.)

Issue: I have no idea. I just laughed at this.

Anybody else getting purple heads on npcs? I'm getting a ton of npcs I encounter having purple tinted heads, kinda like nuka cola quantum color and glow as opposed to skin tone. Anyone else get this? It happened to maybe 40% of all npcs I've encountered so far.

I have noticed if i have the radio on i get random crashes and bad frame rate. Also had the auto and quick saves revert back after a crash. Not a bug but why did they bring Moria back?

I've noticed that the History Keeper of the Boomers tands to talk for a little bit (he starts out we were in a big underground vault...), but then he stands still, nods around a bit, and restarts his dialogue.

-All locations on the Pipboy Map disappear , once exit the PipBoy Menu then re-open it all locations reappear
-Game crashes (WHEN THE 2ND UPDATED WAS RELEASED) whenever a NPC other then the ones that are "in-tow" do anything such as , dying , talking , shooting , getting shot , appear , HOWEVER only ghouls can do anything without the game crashing to desktop
-A friendly NPC randomly turns hostile and shoots you
-The NCR troops at Forlorn Hope attacked and killed each other , with some of the "wounded" NPC`s missing arms and or legs still up and fine , or stuck on the ground as if they are dead but not (during the nelson quest)
-after reloading a lever action shotgun player is unable to fire for three seconds then fires three rounds at once.
-Lag issue that is well listed in other threads


I could not really care about most of the glitchs , including the ever commen "lag" glitch , but the crashing it just too much for me , i can get around lag , but not the game herp`n and derp`n itself into hell.

I'm getting a CTD when I try to use the C-Finder, every time.
I dunno what's the problem, all drivers are up to date.
I just have this one problem.
everything else runs fine (had the save bug but I'm used to hard saving in Bethesda games)


Edit: the problem is the 'Heave, Ho!' perk, without it the C-finder works fine

When entering the Gramora Casino All the controls lock up except the look around function.

I think the doorman is not asking for my weapons and just leaves me stranded at the door.

Other than that I have not encountered any bugs,

-During the ED-E quest Upgrades her Items disappear ANYTHING to give to her will be destroyed when you get her back "The game never metions before you must take your items out of ED-E before any upgrade can being". This is just as bad as the casino bug where your items are gone.
