glitch and bug list...so far : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:08 am

I'm on my first play through and while I am really enjoying the game, here are a few glitches I've noticed:

Freezes/crashes on loading every couple of hours, so far had only one auto save corrupted.

Carrying round a rifle often results in you holding it high up as if your wading through a swamp.

Boone and I went and got in a scrap with some legion mongrels, one of them turned invisible and Boone spent the the entire fight running backwards trying to shoot it. 3 loads of the previous save and this kept happening.

I went to vault 22 with no companions, in the lowest level I opened a door and Boone was stood there.

There are numerous very minor things which should not be in a released game but don't really spoil the game, like If you have a couple of companions but have made them wait somewhere, NPC's still say things like "nice robot" or "I thought Cass was doing this or that" even when they are not with you. seated NPC's floating in mid air, radscorpions stuck in landscape.

I have managed to get Boone, ED-E, and Lilly to follow one of my characters at the same time...I tried to get this to occur again and could not dupe it. I had Lilly and ED-E with me and went to the Lucky 38 and Boone joined up with me too. They dont seem to like anyone and they are pretty efficient at murdering everything, save 3 or 4 deathclaws at once...
I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen yet.

among all the glitches listed ( I have had them all ) after completing the required tasks to get power armor training perk, I don't get the option to ask for it. I had it already, then had to return to a previous save and *BOOM* gone, no chance for power armor. I could be doing something wrong, though I doubt it.

-weathered 10mm pistol when equiped does not appear in players hand, screen gets whiter, and a large red square with an "!" appears around the player if you go into 3rd person.

-sometimes when their is more than 1 item in a players inventory it dose not display the quantity of the item, even when their not supposed to be stacked(exp. if you have three(3) 9mm pistols in your inventory it will only display "9mm pistol". if it was the way it was supposed to be it would display "9mm pistol(3)" in your inventory if they were all at the same condition, but even when their not at the same condition it only displays one at a time. when the item is droped it still displays the name untill you drop the amount their actually was. you cannot repair that item either so if you have 2 carvan shotguns, one at 50%CND and the other at 25%CND you cant rapair it because the game thinks it's only 1 item, it can get very frustrating when trying to repair your items or see whats not needed in your inventory.

-inside the brotherhood of steels bunker in the hidden valley their are a few bugs
~the game often freezes when tradeing with the trader "knight torres"
~in the shooting range by the trader, the ranger to the far left closest to the desk is often stuffed with brootherhood of steel knights and paladins all trying to use it at the same time, this causes them to get stuck, fall through the floor, and kill each other when their shooting(with no body left behind only their weapon)
~when you drop a item inside the bunker, it sometimes dissapears without a trace. I am familiar with the little bug of items going invisible when droped in some areas and this is different, with this glitched when droped they completly gone, with the other glitch which exisited in Fallout 3 as well, it would become "invisible" so to speak but you could still pick it up, move it, and see it's weight and value as normal.
~companians get stuck in the area by the trader(knight torres) and keep walking/running back and fourth in a endless cycle without being able to be pushed to "freedom" by the player

-radskorpians and bark skorpians often fuse into the ground, and fall through the ground when killed and when watched in cinematic mode looks really dumb

-when sneaking your characters arms and carried weapon will rise to almost the top of the screen, blockin the players view and no allowing for ADS(aiming down sight) which is a great addition to the game

-when ADS(aiming down sight) the players gun sometimes dissapears, makeing it impossible to take an accurate shot at a blood thursty death claw charging you with death in it's eyes >_<(lol)

-at random times when the pip-boy is brough up the screen is extreamly green, to the point you cant see anything on it and the only way fo fix it is to load the game again(this was a fallout 3 glitch as well)

Two more: Giiant Radscorpians like to spawn randomly right in goodspring, taking place of radscorpians fused in the ground.

The other one is that after shooting an automatic weapon and you keep holding the trigger, it keeps moving like it's firing but it doesn't shoot... not a top priority fix but it makes the game look unrefined.

All doors leading to outside the Hoover Dam Visiting Center may be locked and require a key while doing For The Republic, Part 2 and or You'll Know It When It Happens causing you to be locked inside the Hoover Dam Visiting Center

I went into the REPCON building main floor I think(it's the floor with the hard lockpick), and then I went there and saw the unique mulitplas rifle and picked it up. Then I saw a very hard lock pick, well I did what I always did when I was only about 10 or 12 points away from a doing something, I saved then did some drugs

, well I wound up with 2 pts to go and a mentats addiction. So I reloaded the autosave and I couldn't look around with the right anologue stick and I didn't have a save to fall back on so I'm pretty much screwed and can't do ANYTHING with the character that I spent close to 40hrs on and it's safe to say I'm very aggravated.

circumstances i have found for the vault 3 download content error:

i was fine clearing out and killing all the fiends in all of vault 3 EXCEPT the maintenance wing. it seems once you enter the door into the maintenance wing, it corrupts your save file. because my save file from before entering the maintenance wings door, was fine.

i also found that veronicas quest line (i could make you care ( ? ) (not sure if thats the name) cannot be completed in my game, because she sends you to a shack to check out a radio but when you enter the shack the game freezes at the load screen, a hard freeze to where you have to turn the xbox off using the power button on the xbox instead of the dashboard button on the controller.

i gave up on the 24 saves i lost and restarted my exploring from 10 hours before my last usable save. i say exploring because i have found most of the side quests are broken.

also ceasers quest for me is also broken at the part where you are supposed to gain the boomers trust. the boomer leader will not give me a dialogue option to "gain their trust". even though i am idolized with the boomers. this may have something to do with me being idolized with the boomers before starting caesars quest.

also, while carrying the mark of caesar, i have not been able to become villified, even after mass murdering most of the legion in the game.

you can have more than 1 of the same item in your inventory, no matter the difference in condition, they will stack on top of each other and not have a number signifying you have more than one of that item, it will just appear as you have only one.

the longer you play, the worse the framerate gets, until your system locks up.

NPCs and enemies get stuck in walls, fences, ground.

inside the brotherhood of steel bunker the virus side quest gets bugged to where you cannot finish it, i used speech(?) skill to contain the virus, found it on 3 terminals but it didnt allow me to finish quest, i reloaded a save and tried again and after 2 containments it completed the quest.

in my game, i completed rex's side quest for his item, he runs away from every fight.....which is kind of funny, its like hes smart enough to run for his life now, even on enemies that are easily killed.

when i give veronica items to equip, she sometimes doesnt use the best one. ie she uses the named golf club automatically, even though shish kabob is all around better weapon. same with armor, sometimes she will wear a motorcycle helmet with 2 armor instead of her brotherhood of steel special t-51d armor that has 10 armor

these are just a few i have found off the top of my head.

This is interesting-
I went to kill mr. house after going to Ceasar's encampment and destroying the bunker. When i attacked the robots I took most of them out but two keep showing up on my compass as hanging around but i can't get to them, they keep 'running away' for lack of a better term. I can't speak to mr. house either and i killed victor and paige. Occassionally when i'm chasing them down I can hear them talking but I can't get to them. i've tried this like 7 times. I don't mind most of the glitches but this one's a doozy

I now cannot go back to the fort without my game freezing on the load screen. I have cleared my cache, reinstalled it to the HDD, but no. Also, I had to kill Caesar, because for some reason, I went from being accepted with the Legion, to Vilified, and I have no idea how. I spoke to Caesar, got the mission to go to the bunker, left to do a side quest, came back, and they opened fire on me. My older save was a few hours old so have now had to kill Caesar, which I hadn't planned on doing! Very frustrating. Now I am stuck, unable to carry on with the story, and even if I could carry on, it would not be the path I had intended to follow. Not impressed at all, after 55 odd hours of time put it!

For me so far...

1. Some loading times it freezes. Even by going a different room.
2. Missing friends. If they are knocked out and player leaves the area and returns. the friends are missing.
3. Shopping can freeze during or after shopping.
4. In 2 questlines: "The fly with me" with the ghouls: Old Lady Gibson was no where to be found. My pipboy was telling me go to Helios One. "Oh My Papa" Where the player has to convince people that papa is an idiot. Player travels to the Great Khan Encampment and Melissa is no where to be found. Just after completeing "Don't make me a begger". The player kept Melissa alive.
5. Another quest at the Searchlight town that is in the rads. Can't complete as don't have the dog tags; and Private Edwards doesn't give it up after NCR takes back Nelson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New:
6. Just remembered this one. Visiting HELIO ONE plant a few times. When going to the back of the plant for the Sun panels Couple things happen. 1. Don't know if this is "normal" 1st time getting back ther i had 3 dogs and mole rats just came out of the building too and attacking the player. 2. Mupltle visits when walking back at around the door there are invisable items there. Player moves forward you hear a barrel being kicked. You look down and your hud picks up that you can pick up invisable items. One was a dog bowl that is invisable
