Poll: A question for those with New Vegas.

[GonzoGamer]

How is it working for you?
It keeps crashing on me. A couple of times these crashes even corrupted the autosave. I also had to go back to an earlier save when an objective disappeared on me. And to top it off, yesterday RNV played Big Iron twice in a row. If I hear that song one more time, I'm going to go Mysterious Stranger on someone.
I was expecting this game to have problems (that's a problem in itself) but I wasn't expecting this many.
They've even patched it. but the patches only took care of some of the more goofy bugs and exploits not the really annoying game breaking glitches.
How is the game working for you?

It is an Obsidian game after all. I'm just one of the few people who didn't run out and buy it despite this knowledge.

I'll just wait a few years for them to fix a quarter of the problems, call it quits, then have their fanbase finish it all. Kinda like how they handled KOTOR II.

I am at the end of the game. The final mission. And I can't beat it, because my game keeps crashing. I literally can't progress past this point. It is such a slap to the face to come this far and then get hit with the game crippling bug that renders it unplayable.

Prior to this, I would have said it was working relatively well. Only crashed occasionally. Of course it still had the typical Bethesda engine bugs such as people floating, but nothing that killed the game for me.

 

[soulasylum85]

had it since day 1 and not one problem. also im playing on 360 u might want to post what you are playing on. and your poll only has 1 option

 

[Grayjack]

No problems, other then Johnny Guitar.

Edit: PS3 version.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

[PC version] it crashes now and then (reduced that problem by following a tweaking guide) and sometimes me and my companions get stuck in objects (fixable with "tcl" - toggle clipping in the console)

 

[Mr S]

Not a single problem

 

[Scde2]

I'm playing it on the PC and it crashed/froze a total of 8 times.
It's pretty annoying.

And I had some companion bugs. (They won't follow me, get attacked at the Strip gates, etc.)

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I haven't gotten to play too much of it but I haven't run into any problems on the PS3 version. Same goes for when I played the 360 version.

 

[EHKOS]

It's prettty amazing, but it only crashed three times. Twice was early on and then it stopped. Twenty hours ingame without a crash. The third time was my fault. I wanted to see if they ever fixed a bug so I typed advlevel in the console. Leveled up, did it again and it crashed which happened with F3. I've had some freaky shit happen to me but nothing major.

Yea, if there were more selections I would've included platform in the poll but I'm more interested in the kinds of problems.
I hope people will follow your lead and post their platform.

I fixed the poll, I guess FNV isn't the only thing experiencing glitches.

I'm on PS3 by the way. Big mistake.
Next time I want one of their games, I'm getting the pc version. At least with that the fans/modders can get it working properly.

 

[Deathninja19]

It freezes a lot but I've never seen these bugs that people go on about

 

[Argtee]

I played it on the 360.


It's been working fine for me.

I've only had it crash twice in my first playthrough, which was about 30 hours.
I had some bugs, like radscorpions getting stuck in walls, but nothing too bad.
I've also had my load times get up to 40 seconds, but I just cleared the cache and it was fine after that.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Is anyone getting more than one selection on the poll now?
I fixed it twice and it still looks like only the first selection comes up.

 

[Summerstorm]

Hm... works ok. Had Boone vanishing once. (Thought he left me... but no message - and couldn't find him again).

A few crashes... maybe every 3 hours gaming. Slight lagging (fixable).

But not much weird stuff or critical mission screw ups or something. Played it to the end two times now. (But the ending is pretty much a let-down, like ALL Obsidian games... doesn't feel polished, fully scripted and awesome enough).

EDIT: Oh and P.S.: PC version, of course.

 

[Sassafrass]

I'm on the 360 version, for reference. And it's also unpatched as while I obviously have net access, it is thanks to an App on my phone which is meant to be used for business only and thus, cannot handle LIVE or otherwise.

Two corrupted saves, both occurred in Novac. Not sure if that's relevant to the corrupted saves.
About 5 freezes and lock-ups in 70 hours or so of play-time.
Davison (Hope that's right) attacking me 2 out of 3 times when I try to go and tell him about the Stealth Boy shipment for the quest "Come Fly With Me".
A few frame-rate slow downs before it picks back up, normally after entering a new area.
A black line horizontally across the screen when aiming down the sights, fixed by changing weapon then changing back.
The station "Radio New Vegas" goes quieter then it should normally do at times. Mojave Muisc Radio also has this problem at times.
It suddenly takes about 30 seconds to a minute to load at times. Fix is to save game, quit to Dash-board and clear the 360's HDD cache.
Plus the usual bugs that were present in F3, i.e objects float up when you take something, creature getting stuck in ground etc etc.

All that said however, I'm still loving it, the bugs above happen very rarely to me anyway.

 

[sanguinator]

are you playing it on the pc? in my experience all pc games are more crashy/buggy than console games.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

over 100 hours in, i've had a handful of crashes/freezes, a few clipping bugs (easily rectified with tcl or fast-travel,or simply ignored in the case of mobs), and one or 2 quest related issues that i was able to resolve with reloads or zoning a couple times.

oh, and my crashes/freezes likely have as much to do with my graphics card as with the game itself.

 

[postalworker147]

johnny fucking retard. so annoying

 

[Kenko]

Ive had the occasional glitch,bug or crash. But nothing gamebreaking.
