Just one more day, shame I can't play it on that day, need to beat FO3 first!
Also, I can't seem to access that Sawyer links, gives me some bullshit about needing to log in. Sure it's really Sawyer posting on SA anyway?
Someone earlier asked if we (Obsidian/Bethesda) knew about the PC bugs that people are currently experiencing. I can't comment on every bug, but I can comment on the higher profile ones:
* Auto/quicksaving bug - I can honestly say that we never saw that bug or heard it reported prior to release. I played the game primarily (and extensively) on the Xbox 360 and PC (I also played on the PS3, but not as much) and never saw anything like that. We are looking into it right now because obviously it's (very) bad.
* NVIDIA + water = lol - This is a known issue that was introduced with NVIDIA's drivers as of (I think) two revs ago. It can affect Fallout 3 as well. We are still discussing it with NVIDIA.
* NPC faces = slow framerate - I hadn't heard of this prior to launch, but I'm going to talk to Frank (our lead programmer) about it.
* CTD Apocalypse - CTDs are often very hard to diagnose, so honestly maybe we have seen "your" issue before, maybe we haven't. These are the hardest to figure out. My apologies. We have to take them on a case by case basis.
* Video Card N + Sound Card Y + This Driver = Death/Bad Framerate - Chances are high that we didn't know that a certain combination of hardware/drivers/some other software would result in something bad happening because, quite frankly, PC compatibility testing is logistically really, really, really hard. That's not an excuse, but I hope it serves as an explanation. Anything that seems to affect a significant number of users and is systemic is something we can hopefully look into.
Please don't take my lack of commentary on bugs to mean that I don't care about them. I just want to avoid hazarding guesses and doing remote amateur troubleshooting. Bethesda's support/testing teams are coordinating known bugs and new reported bugs through to us. I know it's frustrating. I hate seeing people experiencing bugs. We are addressing them as we learn more information about them.
Putting that file in my folder disabled my graphics card. I started it up and it defaulted to the nvidia chip (onboard video).
It didn't help at all.

Obviously, he isn't impressed. The boring, lazy landscape worries me as exploring the environment in FO3 was my favourite thing about it.
RPS is usually spot-on, but that's a pretty baffling review. I know those guys aren't fans of the Bethesda games (other than Morrowind), but the fact that he compares NV to FO3 and finds it worse is just madness. Especially when it comes to the writing and voice-acting. It's ****ing night and day.
I'd say if you liked FO3 there's nothing to worry about, other than the shitty technical issues. NV is an improvement in basically every single way.
There’s a distant sound that can be heard throughout your time with New Vegas. Quieter than the cheery 1930s pop hits that warble from your radio, quieter even than the chirps of night-time insects, or the long gasps of wind blowing across the wasteland. It is the sound of Obsidian phoning this game in. I’m talking long distance, reversed charges, not-giving-a-****.
You did only put it in the game folder right? It's not meant to go into your system folder.
I put it in the main folder with the other startup apps and stuff. >steam>steamapps>common>newvegas>insert
Go through boulder city. You need 2000 caps to get in though.Anyone know how to get to The Strip for the first time? I tried taking the main road but a guy said there was death claws up ahead. Then I tried taking a side path but I kept running into these unique fiends that are for a later quest that I don't want to get ahead on. Anyone know?
Wow, the performance hiccups in this game are annoying as hell. 60 FPS in some spots, then ~20 in others, almost completely at random. FO3 had a solid FPS for me at the same settings. This is really distracting.
Im finding it hard to decide if I want this game or not.
It just looks too much like FO3, makes me think whats the justification for waiting so long for a new game that looks as-near-as-makes-no-difference the same as the last?
for those who play it on the 360 and have issues, do you have the game installed to a hard drive?? because I do and see no problems whatsoever. also you may way to clear the system cache. http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/xbox360faqs/a/ClearX360Cache.htm or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971755
Once I got to Freeside, I ended up walking to the King's place randomly while browsing around the area. Paid the guard at the door to go the inside theater and started working for the King.Anyone know how to get to The Strip for the first time?
