what is being done about the glitches

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:30 am

so i have the 360 version i have had a lot of glitches one of the worst is every time i try to enter the NV strip the game crashes and i have to restart my 360 so there are like 5 quests i cant complete because of this. i have also seen NPC's half way in the ground. i have had my guns not work. i have had it where i click on a corpse to loot it and nothing happens. i had a quest that i have completed that still shows up as incomplete (headache by the numbers). i had the card game not load right and was not able to see the cards. i have had my gun start jumping all over the screen when i got close to a corpse. and i had it just randomly crash on me. just to name some of the many. this is way to many glitches and i agree with the free DLC thing that some people are talking about. i payed a good deal of money for a working game and i did not get that i cant even complete the main story line. this needs to be fixed ASAP these glitches should never have made is past the BETA
i would vary much like to know what is being done about this from OBSIDIAN or BETHESDA


also i would like to hear about other glitches that other people are having

They're in the process of making a patch.

There is a thread on this somewhere. Use it.

The bugs when useing guns pisses me off, sometimes when I use a lever or hunting shotgun after reloading it just locks up and wont let me fire or go into vats or anything, apart from running around getting shot at while shouting ''fire fire fire ffs fire, boone don't just stand there shoot them!!!'' :brokencomputer:

Did you kill Caleb McCaffery in the strip? If so the fix for not being able to enter the strip is to either wear his hit or the non-unique versions of it (named 'Old Cowboy Hat') No [censored] clue why this happens. The Old Cowboy Hat can be stolen from Mick and Ralph's easily or bought.

ARRRRRRG. For the first fifty hours of gameplay I would only have an occasional freeze here and there (in addition to the countless 'harmless' glitches). But yesterday the game now freezes up almost every hour during load screens.

I run an XBOX and this is unacceptable. WTF is the problem with this game. I would have loved it...

That sounds pretty harsh. Could have been nicer about it. :). They are working on a patch. When it will come out, we don't know. But from experiance from Obsidian and Bethesda, there will be another patch or two. We already had one, so we should get one more, and hopefully more later on, since we know the next patch will not fix everything sadly.

My advice to you, don't let the McCarran/Strip monorail get blown up. I'm p@ssed that the creators wouldn't give a quick-travel marker for The Strip. After patch 1.01 released, it corrupted my Normal game file I dumped 110 hours into by not loading The Strip from North Freeside, instead it gave me the black crash screen of death, plus the monorail was out of commission. That was my only b@tch about the game. Ironic I can love buggy games like FONV and FO3 despite these terrible QA issues... At least I'm doing main quests on my new hardcoe file again. I'll leave the side jobs and Wasteland Wanderings for later.

We're looking at the issues being reported and working on future updates for the game. When there's more info to share, we'll let you know. Keep an eye on our pinned threads in this board, as well as the ones in the Hardware & Software Issues boards.

Funny, am on PC and rarely have any issues.


so i have the 360 version

Problem right there maybe? 360 is old now and was not exactly the most advance thing ever made either.


i have had a lot of glitches one of the worst is every time i try to enter the NV strip the game crashes and i have to restart my 360

Clear the cahse? blow the dust out of that 360?

i have also seen NPC's half way in the ground.

Welcome to the old oblivion engine, this was in that game and FO-3 as well.


i have had my guns not work.

No issues here.


i have had it where i click on a corpse to loot it and nothing happens.

Some times happens, NBD really.

i had a quest that i have completed that still shows up as incomplete (headache by the numbers).

If you got the xp/items for it, why care?


i had the card game not load right and was not able to see the cards.

Not happened to me yet.

]i have had my gun start jumping all over the screen when i got close to a corpse.
No issues here.



Crashed once.

this is way to many glitches and i agree with the free DLC thing that some people are talking about.

I agree.

That its a stupid idea and that beth soft or anyone else owes us anything is also equally absurd.

i payed a good deal of money for a working game and i did not get that i cant even complete the main story line.

Join the (imo) very small amount of people who have this issue.

this needs to be fixed ASAP these glitches should never have made is past the BETA

No way can they catch everything in beta.



Nothing? patch?
Who cares? they do, I do (slightly). Would be nice if you could enjoy the game, its a great game. At least they are going to patch it.
Should have gotten into PC gaming, at least what they don;t fix, fan made patches likely will.

Wasn't intended to be. Just being straight forward about it.

Also, has anyone had it where you reload then you can't shoot your gun, loot container/corpses, or go into VATS for like 5 seconds?

This happens to me too, but only with hand-reloaded weapons like the hunting shotgun or trail carbine.

If you guys just want to knock xbox owners and blame them for having "an old system" then maybe bethesda shouldn't offer it on that antiquated console at all. Wonder how that would work out for them fiscally. But I'm pretty sure they intended it to work with the xbox360 so it's not out of the realm of possiblity that xbox owners would expect this, especially considering they paid just as much as you did.

Sounds fine to me. The majority of Bethesda's demographic are still PC gamers, so while there wouldn't be nearly as many copies sold, Bethesda and Obsidian would still make a pretty good amount of money if they only catered to the PC demographic. I imagine the game's stability overall would be much better as well, seeing as it would be developed for only one platform.

I'm not saying it should've been developed for only 1 platform, I'm just saying that there would be no real loss if it was.

And also, I payed $10 less than for the console port of the game ($49.99 vs $59.99).

I Have been having all of those same issues. also my save file that i worked on for 23 hrs will not load WTF!!! is up with that? seriously guys did you not beta test the game?? these glitches are just completely unacceptable!

So we have this infamous line again... :rolleyes:

Obsidian barely had any time to bug test, because the window of time between finalizing the game for testing and shipping for release was very small (like 3 weeks) and Bethesda did not want to push back the release date to allow for further testing.
I really need to macro this line on my keyboard

I'm really getting sick of people claiming that this is the buggiest game of the decade, because it's far from it.

They're making a list, checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty or nice...


Then they're gonna find the people who gave them bad press and beat the bejesus out of em. Once they're done with that though I'm sure they'll fix the glitches.
