Is there a patch for xbox yet? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 6:43 pm

I have been reading the forums and still don't know if there has been a patch released for the xbox or not. I have been playing since the day it came out and have yet to get a prompt from xbox to update the game. Other xbox users are posting that they have gotten an update. Is there a way to check my version? Typically xbox automatically prompts you to update the game when you turn it on, is this one different somehow.... if its even out for xbox yet.

There was a patch for Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 22. It should've prompted you to download when you launched the game while connected to XBL.

There hasn't been another 360 patch yet, but there are rumors of another PS3 patch having gone live.

what version of the game do you have ?

There is apparently a patch available for xbox..

but I wouldn't believe anything they post. Just take Australia waiting a week for their Pre-Order content after being told it was available.

no, second patch yet. im still waiting myself. Im sure when the patch hits, the forum will explode with good or bad news on it.

I guess what I really wanted to know is if anyone has actually gotten the update screen on xbox since the day it was released. Just about every game I have seen has an update the first day it comes out on the xbox. According to the post by the devs the xbox patch should have been out on the 26th, but I have yet to have xbox prompt me to update the game. I hope this isn't like the borderlands patch where it seems ps3 and xbox have to do their own certification for 1-2 weeks before they actually release it... or so I am told.

I got the game when it first came out. I believe a couple days after the release date, i got a update prompt but that was around the 22nd or so. I have also heard of a second update for the 26 but nothing so far.

There is a second patch I just downloaded it when I started playing and yes I already have the one released on the 22nd.

Yeah but for some reason I get updates so often for games I play a lot so it could be something with my Xbox. :shrug:

That wasn't a new patch. The Xbox 360 can only hold so many updates for each game in it's cache. If you exceed the limit, it'll start prompting you to redownloading updates for games again, each time you put in the disc. I had it with my old 20GB console.

i guess there is no news of the official updates is that they are looking at whether these on the side updates actually fix things or make it worse. its lets wait and see what happen with these fixes.

I got the patch on the 22nd. I'm in the UK.

You can check if you already have the patch by clearing the system cache using the xbox memory settings and then seeing if you get prompted to download it again.

If you don't have the patch and don't get the prompt then maybe you are in a country where the patch isn't available.

I played yesterday and there has only been the first patch, which only fixed a couple of exploits which in my opinion could have waited. Really, who finds that glitch in the casino, but doesn't end up with a broken quest or corrupt save?

asian version of the game didnm't received any patch yet, seems they are working on it

» Sat May 28, 2011 3:15 pm

So, as I understand it, PC users got a 2nd patch but PS3 AND xbox are still waiting for the same patch? Like I said, I am pretty sure everyone got the first "patch" when we first put the game in.

Think that there has only been one patch, needless to say I will never be buying another game that Obsidian has any part in. The company is completely unreliable.

The Patch #1 released the 22nd. But patch #2 has only came out on the PC and the PS3. Not the 360

kinda hard to when we are kept so far in the dark no one ever knows i mean i know they are busy and all but still your going to tell me that they dont have someone working there for that and it only takes like 5 mins at the most to make a small update on whats going on with this stuff

There are only one patch for Xbox360/PS3 and the second patch for pc just turned off steamcloud.

In your friends case, he may have cleared his cache (which also removes the patch), therefore he is redownloading the same patch over and over again.

Correct... we're working on additional updates covering many of the issues being reported here in the forums and elsewhere. Presently, I dont have an ETA to share on that update.

Fair enough. Do you have (or are you able to request) any more information on what actually triggers the save corruption so that while we wait we actually know what to avoid in the game so that it doesn't happen? I'm sure a lot of people would feel much more comfortable playing the game if they weren't afraid of losing their game with each passing save.
Sure, there are posts giving ideas about major areas to avoid, but some people manage those areas without issue, so a real list would be good.

If we could at least avoid the save game corruption we can roll back to other saves to try and get around quest bugs.
