Since the patch today, I keep randomly getting messages "___ has gone unconscious", usually blank but occasionally it will say something like 'Bloatfly' or 'Mole Rat'. Anyone have any idea what's going on? :facepalm:

I'd say it's just a glitch. No idea why it's happening, but it sounds pretty minor at least. Annoying, but not too big of a deal.

It's already had a hot fix released which is working. Please update your game on steam.

Working? My game was just fine until I was forced to update. Now my character has animation glitches that make him hover as he's sneaking, and while I'm trying to aim in first person mode, it won't aim down the barrel on its own! I have to actually left click for it to allow me to aim properly again. That's a minor problem though, what the topic starter reported is a pretty serious bug. I've also seen those messages on screen and thought nothing of them, but a short while later I ran into a bunch of Deathclaws and Cazadors that were set to essential. When they're killed, they simply revive after a few seconds. I don't mean to be rude, but this kind of ruined the game for me tonight.

i'm pretty sure that the dev have worked up a fix for it and that it will be out soon.

i think they where having troubles with the patch released, try updating again. Of course i maybe wrong as i have the 360 version.

Yeah I was having this problem earlier, I was shooting Deathclaws and none of them would die. They would just go unconscious. I was like, wtf?

Oh dear God.

*Slays all the deathclaw in the hidden canyon across the river* "AT LAST THAT POWER ARMOR IS MINE MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!" *Looks up to see all 25+ Deathclaw staring hungrily at him....again*

No. I'm starting to get this as well, even on saved games that are several days old and never exhibited any such behaviour at the time.
Seems to me this 1.1.1 patch is more than it seems. :facepalm:
