i get halfway up black mountain,get a freeze,log out and go to my last quicksave and it brings up the beginning of the game where ya get your bonus items.i go to the blackmountain auto save and all the stuff i used to get that far are gone,meds ammo etc. and it looks like i have to go up not properly equipped becuz of that.the quicksave shows me over a super mutant that i killed just about at the top of the mountain before the vill.i am royally pissed.when are they going to straighten out this frikkin game.

All I can say is: Dont use quicksave.

I had only left Goodsprings when I realised that autosave and quicksave were faulty.

1. Always save regularly;
2. Always use a fresh save;
3. If you can, cull off older saves regularly.

Haha, it's not just quick saves that get borked.

Save often and save saves.

Was like that in FO3 and Oblivion too. Gamebryo at it's finest.

It happens a lot, but it's not like you're short on save spots. Several people on these forums have said they have 5-20 save slots per character in a rotating fashion and never have those problems. I just continually make a new save slot and only delete them when I am finished with a character, or if the save is so far back that I'd rather restart then go from there. Most of the time I have around 30 saves, but I've let it build up to 70 before deleting any.
