How has your experience been with the pc version? I have noticed some graphical bugs. Sometimes they get so bad I have to restart the game. How about you guys?

Not had any graphical glitches yet, except once or twice enemies getting stuck on things. Had one crash in 10hrs of play, pretty good really.

Only bug I had or glitch was the sheriff at the town the convicts took over, when I released him and went to find him after finishing he was floating up near the ceiling with his legs tucked up like he was jumping with his legs moving like he was jumping in the casino. Since then no other noticeable glitches on my end. I also had two CTD`s in my 20 hours worth of play time but the second one happened at almost the exact same time in the day which is around the time my automatic virus scan starts around 2am. So I cant blaim anyone for that.

So I have to say the PC version atleast on my system is pretty much bug/glitch free (aside form that glitch I mentioend above) and is very stable on my pc for the most part.

I've had some minor graphical glitches like stuff not rendering, I've also had some sound issues with the 9mm pistol, shotgun, varmint rifle, recharging rifle and 9 iron where I'd be shooting and or swinging and there'd be no sound at all. And I've also had one crash / freeze.

Nothing major and nothing i haven't experienced with FO3 before. Then again, I'm only 2 real time hours into the game and haven't gone to any settlements yet so I haven't run into anything too demanding.

Playing on a pc is great. No crashes in 15 hours or so, (not 15 straight hours), little if any lag issues, and only one instance of a raider floating about 3 feet up off a bus roof. Seems the people playing on xbox or ps3 are having alot harder time, at least thats where most of the complaints I see are coming from.

I've noticed some graphical bugs. Artifacts at a distance in one place. One area with heavy pop-in. Nothing to bother me.
Autosave/quicksave reversion. But manual saves were fine.
One helmet I couldn't pick up again after I dropped it.
Veronica got stuck once, she got over it.
Rare occasion I end up in third person mode. Possibly user error, pressing F when not realizing it while doing something else.
Rare occasion I'm prevented from firing or entering VATS for an unspecified reason. If it's a gun jam there's no cue.
Ghost is not on top of the roof like she should be.
I had some caravan traders that started freaking out and running away when I entered a town once.
One time I kept trying to buy something and it wouldn't take. Repeated it 3 or 4 times. When I paid attention to whether or not I lost caps for the transaction, then it worked. May have been user error.

None of it been a gamebreaker for me. Everything else is just dreamy.

Oh yeah, lots of fun on the PC. I spent the first day trying to get the micro stuttering bs fixed. Then I get the game to run somewhat ok and I find out that I can't save my game. Oh yeah, I'm having a great time with this POS! Shame on you, Bethesda for releasing such a bug infested so-called game. I feel so duped!

It's been a pretty painless process on PC so far, aside from some save-game overwriting BS. I do get wierd framerate slowdowns from time to time, Don't know why, it always passes in a few seconds. I tried updating my nvidia driver from 158.x to the latest (160.x) and then the game crashed every hour or so, so i rolled it back. slowdowns are annoying, but I can deal with them. I have the settings on Ultra, and if i really wanted to i could prolly just lower them and it would go away. but I don't want to!

I also had weird slow downs randomly (at least it seemed random), but after a while I realized it was when ever there was a large group of NPC's on screen. According to another forum member, you can hit the tilde key (the ~ key), and in the console enter "toggleEmotions".

This make absolutely no visual difference that I could see, but now I never get any slowdowns. The only annoying bit is that I must re-enter this command every time I start the game.

With the exception of a few mobs getting caught in terrain, I really haven't had a problem playing on pc. It's been a great experience. Though, as I'm typing this, I realize that I will now have problems because Murphy hates me.
