Boone is now a robot

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 11:48 am

I haven't seen this here and I hope it's okay to mention it....

...Ever since the patch Boone is not himself. He just stands there like a robot and does not look at you when you walk up to him. Also, he doesn't say anything anymore. The guy didn't talk much in the first place. Why take away all the comments he made? He has no personality now. What gives?

Please give us back the Boone we have come to know and love.

Boone is a Zombie. He doesn't head-track and is the only companion that won't look at you. It's like he's dead but still standing. He doesn't say Eat This anymore either and keeps holstering his weapon in the middle of a battle. Those are not things he ever used to do...a completely ruined companion. I hope this will be fixed. He was a huge favorite with a lot of people. You can see that by the things on YouTube and the threads here but no more. :(

And it's not just on the PS3, it's on the PC too and will likely be across the board on the XBox too.

We don't get feedback on whether or not a problem has been noted and will be fixed in the next patch so I'm going to add something here and bump it up if need be so that it will be noticed and fixed.

I have the PS3 version and the PC version of FNV. I can play on the PC but the broken Boone on the PS3 is not something I want to play with. Here's the explanation from the modder who made the bugfix mod that allows me to play happily on the PC. This is what fixed Boone on the PC. Please fix it in the next PS3 patch so I can play hardcoe on that console...that was my plan because that's where I have my trusty canteen. Thanks.

"an issue in the VDialogueCraigBooneSCRIPT. There is a section that monitors the player's reputation with the NCR and triggers a force greet if certain conditions are met. The code was causing Boone to evaluate his packages every five seconds even when not required. Two semicolons fixes it. On hindsight, it's pretty obvious what was happening. An EVP will cause an NPC to drop out of combat - holster their weapon. When run constantly, apparently it breaks head tracking in the follow packages also."

BugFix has been downloaded 275 times to this point...to rave reviews. :)

There's a new thread reporting this problem in the Cheats area this morning but it's a Console User who isn't helped by a mod. It could be another PS3 user or Xbox.

So far there are 332 Total Downloads and 232 Unique Downloads to fix this problem for the PC but that's not helping Console users like me for my PS3 version of FNV.

Fix still needed for all formats, thank you.

It's so sad playing with Broken Boone. Please make another patch and include his fix in it. I know everyone's moving on with the new engine but we just got this game on the old one and it needs more tweaking to work right. :( My newest game on PS3 is mostly ok but not poor Boone and he's one of the earliest companions you can get.

The mod downloads are now 371 Total, 251 Unique for PC but the console owners need this fix too. Please.

It's becoming a huge disappointment that we haven't heard about a new patch yet. I'm able to play on PC with the BugFix but people who aren't modding are still stuck with a broken Boone who keeps holstering his weapon during combat and stands like a zombie the rest of the time. My PS3 game is still crashing like crazy and there is no Fix for Broken Boone yet. New people who got the game should have seen him before the Patch broke him. He's a fantastic companion when he's working.

To this point there have been 418 Total Downloads and 280 Unique Downloads for this BugFix.

Please announce the next patch with this fix included so everyone can have a Boone that works instead of one that was ruined by Patch 1.2. Thank you.

we haven't even heard news that they're working on a patch... I hate to say it but I feel like we've been put off to the side after all the bad media NV got, which should have been worse, IMO....they just don't give a [censored] anymore....

Well 85% of the.games.issues went away when they did.the.update, biggest problem I had was that I had to make a.new chat for the.problems to be resolved. My original char is about as [censored] as a life long hoker. Though I didn't quite mind it.much as I made the game way to easy with my skill set. Hard hardcoe mode and.I was popin everyone like.pimples... to no effort. Still I think the.game difficulty is was to easy on the hardest mode but ill deal with it for.now I guess can do nothing but.deal with it.for.now. try making a new char it freezes but not as frequent and reset any lingering issues with quests

It has increased to 617 Total Downloads and 385 Unique Downloads to fix this problem for the PC.

When that new patch comes and the Boone BugFix is in it, I'll be able to play on PS3 again finally. I have a mod BugfFix on the PC version but I want to play on PS3 too. Fix still needed for all formats, still keeping hope alive.

He's a Terminator for sure but he's even better when he's not broken. :)


674 downloads of the BugFix on the PC version now. It works great so the devs just have to do it for my PS3 version now.

806 downloads now for the PC version and many others since this mod was included in the community bugfix. My Annie on the PS3 is waiting for the patch so Boone won't be a zombie......

Are we there yet?

Thank you.

Such good news. High hopes the Boone fix is one of the ones mentioned. :) I'm also very happy to hear that there will be another patch after this one. It's a great game so thank you, devs.
