Version 1.02 does not fix the following glitches:

1. Merchants/Vendors randomly stop updating their wares.

I have seen many posts about this both on these forums, and at the GameFAQs FO:NV board, mostly in regards to the Silver Rush merchant. I personally have had Cliff Brisco of Novac, Chet of Goodsprings and Lupe of the Grub N' Gulp stop updating their inventory.

2. Merchants/Vendors that reach 30,000 caps will make sold goods disappear with no caps awarded and will no longer update their inventory.

This one is documented on the wiki, and I personally have been affected by this with Knight Torres, who unfortunately reaches 30k caps easily when selling you T-51B and high end weapons.

I am experiencing the same, with a few other vendors as well. I will come back and edit this msg with a list...

So, two weeks later and the only merchant who updates his wares now is good old vendortron...

Worst. Bug. Ever.

Please fix this.

bump

This also happens with Contreras' inventory, however he is something of a special case since his inventory can be upgraded (although that function is also bugged) so his not refreshing his stock may not be related to the same glitch.

Of course, if you have to upgrade his stock to get him to refresh his inventory then it would help if doing that actually worked...

This bug has now occured for me at the Gun Runners vendor, will you sort it out please?

sorry man, but the most the patching crew can do is make sure it doesn't happen again. your saved game with this issue will most likely still have this issue after the patch.

to OP;

sorry about your luck, but unfortunately the same thing applies. you may notice new inventory after the next patch, but likely your game will glitch out again. I'm curious to know, was your save with this issue one from pre-patch 1.02? because it's best to just start a new game after a patch for a heavily programmed game like fallout. all the new data is suddenly put into a game that had issues the patch was supposed to address, and may just cause more problems.

did the list get to long? hehe...

I had the same issues with all the merchant/vendors before the first patch, couldnt tell u about 1.02 because my ps3 is broken thanks to FONV, here are a list of other vendor faults i had on a regular basis, before i started wearing my black armband:


not able to buy caravan cards without freezing on purchase

buying items that stack on top of each other, when merged with inventory not displaying how many there is (looks like u only have one instead of (3) )

same old stuff every time, no selection

when selling items and cleaning out all the vendors caps they stay broke

when offered to see the special inventory at mick n ralphs or at mckarren they are the same as the std inventory

buying a large volume of items causing freeze on purchase

I found this topic after trying to find a fix for this glitch.

So far, Chet, Mick and Ralph's, Cliff Broscoe (or whatever the Dino-Delights shop owners name is), Old lady Gibson, and the traveling merchant outside of your Novac motel room, have all stopped updating their inventory.

This is very frustrating, mostly because I want to buy throwing knives. As far as I know, everyone who sells them (and then some) on my game have stopped selling them due to this annoying, prevalent, very frustrating bug.

This all happened to be on the most up to date version of the game on the PS3. Bumping to find if there is any sort of fix yet.

Yeah it svcks, I can't get all the weapon mods because they only have the same stuff over and over. :cryvaultboy:
