I think the patch has made this happen to all enemies.

i just read at least three move incident of this, you want me to make a video of it? i guess i could download fraps and try but really im not making this up.

also i killed about 10 or so monsters before this one, it was just this one so far, ill keep checking.

but honestly doesn't this seem extr ordinary that a patch can go through testing and Obsidian doesnt even see this problem? wow... just wow... im amazed this made it through QA

I keep running into enemies who take no damage at all. No matter how much I hit them their health doesnt go down in the slightest. This has been happening for a while though and isnt since the latest patch.

hmmm havent encountered that yet you sure it not a damage threshold thing?

anyways this little radscorpion just wont die

I just registered to report the same problem.
While the issue does not happen to humanoid enemies, I am no longer able to kill Cazadors. Anything, including a headshot from a sniper rifle results in "Cazador is unconscious". Shortly they get back up, at full health, and resume the attack. There is no way to finish them off while they are unconscious because they are immune to damage and cannot be targeted via VATS.

Positive. I fast travel to Scorpion Gulch where im immediately attacked by 3 Giant Radscorpions and a couple of the small Bark ones. Usually there are at least 2-3 of them that take no damage at all and im able to kill the rest as normal.

I just posted this too as i didn't see anyone else's. All I can say is wait till you meet a mother deathclaw that won't stay dead.

I have run into invincible "feral ghoul" along with a few others and have posted on this thread. I'm not sure if it's the new patch or was always an issue....I do know that I didn't have the issue before the patch with any other enemy.

Let's just say that the odds are not on my side when fighting 8 Cazadors at once...

I'm certain that this is post patch, i mean it just started affecting me. I've never enconutered it before, loading, reloading doesnt do anything.

Wow do we need to go back to an earlier patch now? shesh ...just sheesh

I got one even better. 95% VATS shot to the torso of a NPC and the bullet strike animation happens about 1-2 feet in front of what I'm shooting at with the target taking zero damage. Now enemies can have magical star trek shields in VATS.

I just came across an invincible mole rat pup, it just goes unconcious when it should die.
The mature ones with it died OK.

This was an existing game to test patch perfomance, not tried new game yet.

By the way enjoy fondling the bones of your enemies you gathered during your Eternal Doctrine

Of course it's post-patch. I am 42 hours into my second playthrough and it never happened to me before.

Oh crap, the patch has made them setessential!, I just tried to kill a small gecko near goodsprings source, it just went unconsious, I know these were originally killable because I wiped them all out at the start of the game, wth!

At least you guys can still play the game... sort of. This new patch is super broken for me. Before this patch, I couldn't play my corrupted save game (due to the "Come Fly With Me" side quest bug). But I was able to play a previous save game 3 hours prior to having started that quest. Now, post-patch, I can't even launch the game at all. When I click "Play", I get an immediate CTD.

I'm having this issue too, super annoying...

LOL yeah, I play on hardcoe, so it was interesting to see a "Lakelurk is unconcious" message. Good times, I get to kill 'em all again.

Quick question, what platforms have this been confirmed on?

I can't seem to kill anything wildlife. Dogs, Cazadors, Mantis about 50 percent of them just go unconscious, then get back up. didn't happen untill after the patch was installed. and it's effected the entire wasteland and any new characters i make.

THANK YOU BETHESDA was going on my 80th hour in NEW VEGAS and i totally needed a game breaking bug to move me onto something else!

Im on PC playing on hardcoe normal

I just realized HOLY ********* You know Beth or Obsidian really messed up, this is flippin HUGE i hope heads roll for this, seriosuly i can see people just giving up and playing another game till its fixed or even worse people just not buying it or return it to the store

I'm on PC....I thought I was in the pc issues forum...perhaps they are shared....

I think this patch was only released for PC. There's a bigger patch coming for all platforms in a few weeks.
