All enemies set to Essential after patch : Fallout: New Vegas

Just updated to the latest patch through steam, and I cant kill any enemies now! They just go unconscious and come back a few seconds later.

:(

You had me worried, but I just checked, and mobs still died. What were you fighting? hardcoe or regular?

Regular mode, and fighting them wasp things and fire dragon things. I've tried verifying cache, and reloaded different areas, nothing dies properly for me now.

I'll check its not forcing hardcoe mode or something daft.

Ive had no trouble killing anything since the patch.

Did you try killing humans or robots? I think this has just affected creatures.

After more playing, I found the same issue. It isn't all monsters. I went to Dead Wind Cavern, and immediately had to fight 3 deathclaws. I killed 2 of them, and "defeated" the third. But he kept getting up. hardcoe mode.

This Mother Deathclaw won't die.
It's killing me, I am still, currently, at this moment, running away for my life, running into NCR camps and watching all of them get slaughtered.

That's kinda cool actually. Not that it won't die but that it is slaughtering NCR camps

You should still be able to kill enemies when you dismember them.

As mentioned elsewhere, this will be fixed very soon.

More of the same here: attacked by 2 Young Cazadors and a mature one - young ones die but mature one goes unconscious and revives. Playing in hardcoe mode, normal difficulty. The only mods I have are cosmetic ones, changing font sizes etc., nothing that should in any way affect creatures.

Please use this thread http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1139189-the-update-just-went-live-on-steam/

There are several threads already started concerning unkillable enemies after the patch update, it's been confirmed they are not setessential, the problem appears to be with the engine itself after the update.

And to reiterate, it should be resolved soon.

I was all excited that my previously corrupted savegame was now working and I'd be able to continue my game. But now there's a new problem. I'm currently doing the Boomer mission of raising the plane from the bottom of Lake Mead. I've attached the ballast, made my way to shore, and I'm standing where I need to be (the device is beeping). The problem? Loyal's Detonator won't work. It 'fires' when you pull the trigger, but nothing happens. Can't finish the quest now.

Thanks for the update!

Same. I just killed some geckos (post-patch), no dismemberment, and they died and stayed dead. hardcoe = on. Difficulty = normal.

I hope it's really soon.

Yeah... thanks for the update that causes my game to crash to desktop from the launcher and now the only way I can get it to work is delete my mods. You freekin' idiots, the entire reason many of us purchased this game is to play mods! Words fail me!

Thanks Gstaff, hope it's not too long, heck, it's a good reason to get back to a mod I'm working on.

Edit: It is most likely ArchiveInvalidation that is causing that.

Add me to the list, but so far it's not my kills that are altered. Instead, I saw an NPC mercenary repeatedly defeating essential molerats, that I then had to kill. I thought, at first, that he was some kind of NPC with a fancy "stun" laser or something that never killed monsters, but nope, it must be a bug similar to this.
