Installed the new patch and ran the game. I had it saved right outside the Gemorrah (sp?) casino. I walk in, play ONE game of roulette, and win 200 chips. Since I had hit whatever amount (4800 chips I think it is) at the Gemorrah to get one of those guys to give me a reward. so the guys runs up to me, and the game CTD.


What really annoys me, is this problem I've been dealing with, and have experienced quite a few times in playing the other casinos. Every time I win an amount that means one of the guys runs up to me to give me a reward, I always try to save real quick BEFORE he talks to me, because roughly 30% of the time, the game will crash.

Seems, this patch didn't exactly fix much in the casinos,

What really annoys me is in all of Fallout NV, besides dozens of quests being glitched, the other main problem is if you are in one of the 3 strip casinos, the game tends to crash a lot.

Is it so much to ask that they fix !@#$%^ problem with this so called big patch? The Strip area is simply so goddam bugged, it's ridicules. Hell, I won't even use the Lucky 38 to "store" my stuff, or leave any of my companions there because I've heard of so many horror stories of some companions attacking each other, or disapearing. I still use Novac as my only base where I keep all of items, since it seems to not be glitched over there.

Anyways, sorry for the rant guys. It's just so annoying, to pay $50 for a game, and it being so bugged.

I was able to solve the game (before this patch came out), but literally what I ended up doing to avoid getting any quests into an unsolvable state, so each quest I got, I ended up doing research on (in the Fallout wiki) and read the bugs section as to know what to avoid. I should NOT have to do that to avoid any major bugs.

Oblivion and Fallout 3 use the same engine, and yeah Fallout 3 had bugs, but compared to NV? It was flawless. And Oblivion had a few occasioanl CTD (like Fallout 3), but it was NEVER even close to being as bad as NV.

If I were Obsedian/Bethesda, I would go right back to the drawing board, because this patch plain svcks....

I really got my hopes up and this patch would fix a lot, but when I launch the game after the new patch and in UNDER 1 MINUTE I ALREADY CTD, that tells me this patch svcks.

I am running a very fast system, clean Windows setup, plenty of ram, etc..., so it's not something with that. Plenty of other games seem to run very well, for hours and hours and don't crash (Hmmm, Bioshock 1 and 2, Half Life 2, BF2BC, Left for Dead 1 and 2. These are all games I've played a lot of, and funny, they seem to not CTD.....

Oblivion and FO3 were just as buggy at release. You're just remembering the patched version.

It's a crappy engine. I can't wait until they drop the POS in future games.

Delete save. Start over. Win

Honestly, no. I played both Oblivion and Fallout 3 very early in their release (just like FO:NV now), and I had a lot better experience. With Oblivion, other than a few CTD, it was pretty stable. And my a few CTD, I mean over the 2-3 months it took me to solve it, I had maybe like 5 CTD. I'm not saying it did not have bugs, but they weren't ones that I noticed or seemed to affect gameplay.


With Fallout 3, yeah it had noticeable bugs, and CTDs, but again. they were there, but the bugs that not seem to cause issues that made the game unsolvable (or maybe I got lucky, and they didn't appear for me). As for CTD, yeah those did occur from time to time. I remember certain places in the game made it CTD more often than others, but again, nothing like with New Vegas.

In New Vegas, if you are anywhere near the strip, you are just going to crash all the time.

So what I am wondering, is how it seems each time they use the Gambryo engine to make a newer game, it seems to have MORE bugs than less. Wouldn't you think they would learn their lessions from past mistakes and have less bugs in future games using this engine?

I guess not. Oh well.....

You have to start over from scratch and not rely on your current save game. If you save game is pre-patch then why even bother asking for help here? Just re-start and catch up or use the console to cheat. Seriousy, you think your pre-patch save game is going to work post-patch? Jeez, how dumb are you. <----------------------------------------------------> this dumb at least
