As you may have seen, we released a patch over Steam for PC users last night. While we didn’t release a full changelist, the patch contains quest and scripting fixes. It’s not a minor hotfix, it contains over 200 fixes in all. We are in the final stages of testing this update on both 360 and PS3 and we hope to have them out to users very soon.

We are also pleased to say that we have just released a second fix for PC users to address the autosave and quicksave issues that some people were encountering. That particular issue was never seen prior to release and it was extremely difficult to reproduce reliably, even after the game had launched. In order to fix this problem we have had to disable Steam Cloud functionality. It has been turned off, and we won't turn it back on until we're absolutely sure it will not cause any more problems. Please restart your Steam client to make sure you get the update.

We are also working directly with hardware manufacturers to improve performance for certain video cards. This is a driver issue, and not directly related to the game.

On consoles, we are aware that a small group of 360 users are seeing a DLC warning which is preventing you from loading save games. We are absolutely looking into this bug now, along with other reports of save game corruption. It is our highest priority right now that we find out what is causing it. In the meantime, we recommend you save often, and revert to an older save if this occurs.

As far as general memory and instability, you should see an improvement once the patch goes live, but we are continuing to work on this based on user feedback.

We want everyone to know that we are monitoring the forums and cataloging every single issue we see reported. We’re reading forum posts, we’re checking Twitter, and we’re reading Facebook comments. We aren’t able to reply to most threads, but we’re listening. If we see an issue, we have people here trying to reproduce it so we can fix it.

While there are definitely legitimate issues out there, we wanted to take a moment to address a couple of things that have been reported as “bugs.”

The now infamous Doc Mitchell video, while very funny (and horrifying) was not a bug. Unfortunately during our launch day, there was a brief window where Steam was pushing out corrupt or incorrect files. In the event that a user wound up with a corrupt meshes.bsa file, they would get that error. It was easily (and instantly) corrected by simply re-validating your files with Steam. At most, a handful of people ever saw that issue, and even then, only for a moment before fixing it.

We have seen forum posts where people are claiming they are not getting all of their perks. Again, this is not a bug. In Fallout: New Vegas, you receive perks every other level, not every level as you do in Fallout 3.

And finally, a quick tip: Be aware of your faction status before assuming the game is broken. Factions will react very strongly to you based on your current armor. If you’re wearing Powder Ganger or Caesar’s Legion armor, you will be shot on sight by the NCR (and vice versa). Also note that there are groups of renegade Powder Gangers (known simply as “Escaped Convicts”) who will shoot you regardless of your faction status.

Please post any issues you are having to our forums and we’ll do our best to fix them as quickly as possible.

Thanks,

The Fallout: New Vegas Teams at Obsidian and Bethesda

is this a quote? or why has this been written by an user?

nice post. :fallout:

it's pinned at the top of the message board.

thx, missed it..

im glad to read this.

yeah.. its from the top.. i just didnt know how to quote it... i think its important for all the angry people to relax.. these guys ARE working hard for the patch. A little patience is all we need.

I didn't spend 70 dollars to be told to be patient.

End users are not beta testers... that's what Beta Testers are for.

fallout 3 was one of my favourite games ever ane i had faith that all these bugs would be fixed, now im totally stuck every decision i make ends in a pretty dull crash, this is fundementally the same game so if you would have fixed them originally yhen surely they would not be there. and if you are not selling a product fit for purpose then were all entitled to a refund so get your return slips ready itll teach these people thet they are our monkeys and the dance when we say they do ( there is no excuse, i couldve found these problem and did with ease ) we pay for a game and they give us this???

sorry for spelling mistakes still got my controller in my hand

please guys me nice to the techys or mods on here they had no idea what happened to putting it back a month for a perfect product?

i dont want to hear you be a cry baby... take the game back to the store and get off the forums if you cant be patient. It doesnt help hearing people like you whine.

iron pod you said it all weve been sold a product that is faulty take them home

An issue I'm having on PS3 is that I can't head back into the Strip for some reason (after load screen it stays black). My logic, which I'm going to try right now, is to have 2000 caps on me once again, i'm 3 short, so i'm going to try that.

correct your grammer please... all im sayin is that they are working hard to resolve the issues.. they have people working around the clock... so just relax and quit crying. Its not helping at ALL.

i appreciate thet but surely after the fallout 3 problems that where the same mayebe the should have for seen it and i im sorry mr dictionary or mr dic abbreiviated

ps . if i sold you a car with no brakes ??? [censored] car i bought a product that wasnt tested properly and stops all the time "[censored]e product" im guessing your young and dont remember buying games that worked

INCOMPLETE PLEASE RETURN TO SENDER

if you cant be mature maybe you shouldn't have gotten the game,,, after all... M for mature

i must apologise after spending 40 uk pounds not those dodgy us dollars on a game i expect to be able to play and now I cant its no ones fault just a similar bug to fallout 3 how strange

Ha! 70$ What Edition did you buy? I got the Fallout New Vegas Collector's Edition and it 80$ + Fallout New Vegas Collector's Edition Official Strategy Guide 35$! 80$ + 35$ = 115$ So didn't spend 115$ for a game i can't play! That my Hard Earned Cash!

Obsidian and Bethesda "WE" I Said "WE" "We are not your beta testers! We are the Customers and this should have "BEEN FIXED BEFOR RELEASE" Not after! We know your working hard or not on this Patch that shouldn't be "NEEDED"! Im not try to start any thing but this is unbelievable! Were are your beta testers? I don't know how most of the big bugs were missed! AS I SAY Again We are not your beta testers! We are the Customers! And you need to git this patch OUT A.S.A.P."

Thank you! :fallout: :banghead:

im with him we buy games and then we find the bugs? something wrong there

That patch should have been out already.... I hope PS3 users in the U.S. don't have to wait forever. Apparently there"s already a patch for the Xbox version and the u.k. ps3 according to one of the posts that I read on this forum.

Thank you!!!

many thanks so... we gave you a game you cantplay but hey heres a patch fallout 3 was the onnly game ive ever played with bugs didnt fix that??? if you cant support us ignore us ￡￡￡ is all you saw

But you know what i miss? Remember wen if there was a bug in a game there was nothing you could do It was there. But wen there were bugs , They were small. But now that they can patch it you get stuff like this!! Befor they tested there games to the fullest!
