"Between now and Thursday, the latest title update for Fallout: New Vegas will deploy across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. In addition to adding support for New Vegas’ next DLC, Old World Blues, the update will bring improvements to performance and stability, as well as a new feature that automatically creates a save before the endgame sequence."




So....many...Fixes.....

"Two vending machines in Hoover Dam were facing the wrong way."


Thought that one had passed over them, clever devs.

NICE!!!! Great Screenshots and lots of fixes in the update!!!

Yep looking forward to the fixes, thanks Obsidian!

I had no idea there were so many bugs/exploits with the Omertas. My dealings with them have always been smooth.

Sweeeeeeet.

And they still haven't fixed the glitch that causes the plasma caster to fire upwards in third person.

I really like the dome and lobotomite screenshots.

That's lots of fix and nice features of list.

Nice, now playing Caravan would be more challenging.

I hope they fixed the grimy buiseness suit finally

"Fixed instance where Boone would constantly holster his rifle in combat if player had lost rep with the NCR."

Color me scared that it's not really fixed because that isn't why it was happening in my games. I never lost rep with the NCR and it happened from beginning to end of the game.

Here's what Josh sent to Bethesda from the mod bugfix description:

"an issue in the VDialogueCraigBooneSCRIPT. There is a section that monitors the player's reputation with the NCR and triggers a force greet if certain conditions are met. The code was causing Boone to evaluate his packages every five seconds even when not required. Two semicolons fixes it. On hindsight, it's pretty obvious what was happening. An EVP will cause an NPC to drop out of combat - holster their weapon. When run constantly, apparently it breaks head tracking in the follow packages also."

Please be fixed, please be fixed.

I wonder if they fixed the guns going through the ranger combat armor?

Awesome!!! I'm so psyched for this patch! Can't wait .

They're nerfing crafting and repair kits, now we can't craft or use repair kits to repair items to 100%. WTF were they thinking? No one has complained about crafting/repair kits, so why are they choosing to nerf them? It's so stupid that they want to force us to use vendors to get 100% repair.

You forgot the Jury Rigging perk.

Using repair kits to 100% caused a lot of other problems. The solution was to prevent them from doing so. It's not a huge change, really.

I guess that got answered. Ummm.....so do we get to have 100% weapons by repairing with the Kit to max allowed then using other damaged weapons to finish the last little bit?

I did notice that with some weapons if I had modifications on them and attempted to repair them using a Repair Kit that they would actually get "more" damaged when I used the Kit.

There's a word for what the devs are doing, but this is sadly a Teen-rated forum, so I can't say it.

I believe there is (soon to be was) a glitch where using a repair kit on certain weapons repeatedly would cause their value to increase dramatically.

nevermind. answered.

It made sense to me :shrug:. Does it matter that much?

I hope they fixed the bug where you cannot send companions back to the lucky 38 its really annoying going back and forth every time i want followers.

I don't understand why you would have an issue with this change.

SO how high can the repair kits repair to? If it is in the upper 90 percentile - no biggie here

That makes it sound like Boone is simply programmed to EVALUATE the packages every few seconds, regardless of your NCR rep, and evaluating interrupts his combat so he reholsters his weapon. So yeah, he might be fixed.


Some things I didn't see on the list:

-Sniper rifle's mod to reduce weight doesn't actually reduce the weight. The item display in the Pipboy will show it weighing less but your total weight count will show it hasn't changed a darn.
-Backround effects of certain areas tend to hang. For instance, if you travel through Freeside, you could run all the way to the Mojave Outpost and still hear the breaking bottles and people talking backround effects that you'd hear in Freeside.



I'm curious about how the FotA allying with the NCR will work. Like for example, if you have any negative rep with the NCR, then to my knowledge you can't get in the Ranger Safehouse: you specifically need "Liked" or "Idolized" to get in. Wondering if it'll be the same with the FotA, cause doing a full NCR playthrough (doing everything in support of the NCR) would prevent the player from forming an alliance.

Ok, so I open the link and the first thing on the list is, "system save is automatically created prior to endgame sequence. After credits, user is prompted to load save game. This will allow single save players to play DLC without creating a new game."

SERIOUSLY????

Hand holding because people are too lazy to do it themselves?
