Hey guys just found a bug that i havnt read about just thought i would post it just incase it hasnt been seen b4. This is my brothers mess-around file that he plays because his other one is corrupted. I am not sure how this happened all he could tell me was that he cleared the catch a half hour ago because he feels like it helps with load times temporarily. It happens when he pulls out a certain weapon. The weapon is not visable but it still works, a red boxs with a ( ! ) apears around the character. He took some pics then kept playing. Shortly after this file became corupted.
I have included a link to a short slide show of his pics in a youtube video here:

yeh he modded a weapon that was no supposed to be modded, it did not have a file, the only thing you can do is live with it or reload from an earlier save. Some of them should be fixed with the next patch

Figured it was somthing like that, i was also woundering if it increased chances of corrupted files, sence thats what happened. And i will have to ask hom if he modded the weapon bc i dont know.

its not corrupted, it doesn't exist, just don't worry about it, but don't drop the weapon you wont be able to pick it back up, just put it into a container until the patch comes out

And im not saying the weapon means the game is now corrupted, i just noticed shortly after his file became corrupted. It was his third charcter he had to start over with. I gave up after one charcter and am waiting for the patch. It seems that once a person has the corrupt file thier chances of having it happen agin are inceased...

Remember when Bethesda released The Pitt DLC for Fallout 3 on Xbox Live and then had to remove it due to being a total bug-fest?
