Yes it runs with win7.....but how, just terrible without the dll, this is not far from not compatible for me!
130'000 downloads only for the nvidia version of the dll fix...

i play it now with win xp, the funny thing is vegas runs even better than with win7 AND the dll!

lol

There's only been 2 patches right?

Yeah i think so.

BUMP new patch comming feel free to comment my hidden moderator\dev\snowman thingys

bump

The Beyond the Beef quest crashes everytime I'm halfway through it. I have to Ignore such a cool quest until further notice =/

I already got it updated on my ps3-certain glitches are gone.

No only 1 patch and I didn't see any differences.

Two patches on the PC.

Hey; if you guys want a rushed patch that screws up more than it fixes then go for it.

They most certainly did know about it before the game went gold. That's the only explanation for a PC patch fixing over 200 issues being released the day after the game was released. Bethesda as the publisher and manager of the QA process should have pushed back the release date. Probably would have pissed off fewer people than the bugs have.

What they could have done better is pushed back the release date. Now that the game has been released buggy all they can do is release patches, which IMO they're doing a decent job of so far.


Really? After the patch all of the Nightkin in my game are wearing Lakers jerseys and have Superman tattoos.

i dont know about you guys but a patch before the weekend would be sweet.. i would get a fresh start.. ahhh

I would like to see more patches [as the game direly needs them] but this article by CVG [link + important quote bellow] makes me think that there might not be much in the way of future patching let-alone DLC unless Bethesda have some other company/internal team working on things

"Almost everyone who was on New Vegas was slated to move over to another project within a week or two after it went out, so they're all getting ramped up on other projects now," - Senior designer Chris Avellone

Of course there is a patch coming. We've been assured there will be one and then reassured by the community manager several times each day. If you want a what, when and where....you most likely won't get it because how could they possibly know exact moments when devs will be done tweaking?

This isn't anything to be worried about. Not only have the devs promised more patches several times, but the entire dev team isn't needed (or even helpful) for bug fixing and patch testing. The project leads and PR people from both companies know better than to repeatedly promise more fixes and then not deliver. If they weren't working on patches they wouldn't say that they were...they just wouldn't say anything at all most likely.

still i never heard of QA teams working without a action plan or a got a bugfix list before release so its still a bit meh to me.

i just hope they just have one svcker working and like the 15november releases a patch with patchnotes.

Fixed Airborn Radscorpions.

and that would be basicly it

I don't understand what you're saying here. Can you clarify?

Your running a multi-billion dollar company. Im sure they would trust, not only the respectability and honesty of the company, but one of the patch developers or their security. SeeTheBiggerPictureNow?

I sent Bethesda a xbox360 memory card last week. why??? you may ask?. Well Last week GStaff asked me to download all my saved data onto a memory card from the old xbox360's. I take it so they can try and make a patch for the 360, well i have not heard anything since i sent it back like a week ago. Just thought i would let everyone know.

It'd be nice if they paid more attention to the game breaking crashes and freezes rather than "tweaking". It's taken me 75 hours, according to Steam, to get halfway through the game. I've given up for the time being because of the delays and interruptions the crashes are causing. I've given the developers 2 weeks to at least address the obvious defects that prevent continuous gameplay yet not much has happened to assist in this. What's worse, although this is in no way Bethesda's or Obsidian's fault or even problem, is that the on-line store I ordered a retail copy through has gone bust, they are "restructuring" and aren't processing anything, so I can't even get a refund.

A bit of communication would be nice from bethesda....

How hard is it for someone to say to the dev teams "what's the ETA on the next patch ?" and give us a rough date.... its not hard and it keeps customers happy and content to have a rough date on when we can hope bugs get fixed.... but what do i know its not like i went to an expensive business school or anything......

Christ after all these years you would think bethesda would have learned all we ever want from them is a little bit of information and the human touch on when we can expect updates.... not a corporate entity giving us no useful information..... i mean really bethesda hire a corporate team of investigators to check out how other game devs work their official forms... a little bit of humanity and information calms the masses big style instead of the bethesda PR brick wall we have grown to love/hate over these years !

Consider 3 patches were released just to support DLC. No fixes in them.

Patches don't have an ETA. Patches are not products, they're used to fix bugs.
A correct ETA for patches would be:"When we finish fixing all that bugs".

No, ETA on patches don't make happy customers. If you fail the date, you'll see many other customers ranting about the delay.

It would be nice if they release something to let the customers know that the patches are coming and what the changes will be. Because right now it's just dead silence and I'm left wondering if the game is going to be left buggy as hell forever while the devs are busy cashing their giant bag of checks.

You'll never get details about patches before they're released from most developers. In fact, it would be a bad idea for them to give out that kind of information. First of all, if a certain bug isn't listed some people will start freaking out. Second, if something needs to change between the announcement and the release people will scream bloody murder about being lied to or a zillion other ridiculous accusations. No, most game companies have strict rules about releasing that kind of information, and for some really good reasons. Sorry.

Anyway, read the posts stickied at the top of every forum section, read the Bethesda Blog, etc. They haven't been silent. They've posted a bunch of stuff about a patch being in the works and suggestions to post details about your issues in the troubleshooting forums so the devs that keep track of what bugs people are finding. Take a look.

Yeah, it stinks that Bethesda chose not to push back the release date to make sure the bugs were fixed, but outside of that they've already released one major patch and have promised that they're watching the forums and working on more patches. I don't know what more could be expected at this point. The game's barely been out for two weeks.
