Yeah I'm running it on my xbox with the dlc I received from game stop. The only thing is that I didn't install the content till I got through a few missions. (Internet issues)

Hmmm, you are lucky then if you completed the quest and it didnt corrupt your games. I am skipping that quest for now until they fix the issue and I will go back to it later on.

On the 360, if you complete the quest "Come Fly Away With Me" every saved game after becomes corrupted. You try to continue and the load freezes the XBOX. You try and LOAD, and you get an error about the DLC content being missing and you cannot load the game.

This does not happen to everyone so this quest is not the exact problem to the corrupt save issue that they are addressing in the next update coming to the 360.

The best advice for anyone playing this game and obviously wanting to avoid corrupt saves or experiencing them every so often, is to save around every 10 minutes or crucial points (before and after) and make sure to save outside in the world of Fallout. Do not rely on the auto save feature, keep it enabled as it could end up saving you one time in case the game does freeze and it does not corrupt your save (it does not always--50/50 chance it will).

I say to make sure to save outside, because you could come to a point in the game where you cannot exit the location you are at because all it does is give you a black screen of death (freeze) when you exit the building. This is an issue going on too, my brothers Hardcore save nearly near the end of the game has this issue in the Gomorrah Casino (not saying this would happen to everyone either--just a warning to make sure to save outside a location). We've tried everything too to get out of the building without it freezing from getting rid of the 2 companions to dropping absolutely everything being carried to disabling auto save since we are exiting the casino to god knows what else. Who knows if Bethesda will be able to fix this problem for saved games already, be it this particular problem for me brothers or just someone else having a similar issue.

I was at the NCR Outpost and inside the building where you can get supplies and get your weapons mended (if they are broken) if you walk through the offices there are soldiers standing around or sitting down at desks. Well I came across this one sitting at the desk and you can clearly here the keyboard clicking away but somebody forgot to add a computer and the solider is typing on the desk...?

I found out something within Vegas which I do believe was the same as in Fallout 3, did you know you can drink out of the toilets if you are short of water, Quite revolting to say the least but you can.???:x

Now this crazy chick at hoover dam wants me to kill everyone at the brotherhood after i have befriended them (which sucks)

I thought the same thing when I got there, however if you're on "liked" terms with the Brotherhood you can convince them to join the NCR at Hoover Dam as support. I didn't overthrow the elder so I'm not sure if they'll still join the NCR if you left the other guy in charge.

I had a fairly high speech skill, but I don't recall it being a [speech] option, so I'm not sure if that matters or not.

I'm liked by both of them The Brotherhood and the NCR, but i got the elder overthrown for Hardin, i will try to plead to these two to join forces if i can (Hopefully) cause i have 100 Speech and if i can't well Me, Boon, & Rex my (RoboDog) are going tear up The Brotherhood bunker so i can just finish the game.

Crashing and save game corruption lol.

I'm so waiting for the GOTY edition with DLC/patches. That being said currently hooked on Fallout 3, and every now and then it still screws up after a legion of patches.

D'oh, I managed to get the Platinum Chip before Mr House told me where to find it. Damn my exploration skillz! Still, I need to get some sort of outfit to cut back that radiation I'm getting from the weather station bit.

I don't want to get to the end of the MQ so soon, I'm assuming there's much more going on after all this. xD

Happens to a lot of people including me with that one quest. annoying as hell because I tested it. All I have to do is go to the control tower to finish the quest. So I saved the game, finished it, and then tried to load the saved game...it would not load.

I have pretty much done everything I can do and need to finish this quest to continue the game.

As for the Come Fly With Me Quest, I did every part of it without a single glitch or issue. My save corrupted much earlier on, just after I first spoke to Boone in the dinosaur mouth. Crashed as I turned and re-entered the Gift Shop. :[

Ah well, all is well now.

Lucky, I wish i could complete the Come Fly With Me quest. I keep trying and nothing. Keeps saying I am missing the DLC when I try to load the game.

Has anyone tried selling the armor and gun you get with the DLC and then try the quest? Maybe if the DLC info is not in your inventory, it will find what it needs.

^ About the "Come Fly With Me" quest: Had no problems with it either. I even quick saved just before the launch, to try all the options (crash or not to crash the rockets) to see what happens.

Just got a showstopper bug where I can't finish the mission where you have to raise the b-29 plane, the detonator is doing nothing :(

Did that mission. You need to make sure you use the detonator at the shore, on the specified spot marked by the quest marker.

In other locations it doesn't do anything. The marked location also gives you a nice viewing spot, on the plane rising from underneath the water.

Are you standing in the right place?

I wasn't sure, but I got out of the water by the dock where the arrow was and it started beeping, so I don't know if there is a place you have to be to do it.

Yeah I am, I'm standing beside the wrench and it's beeping, but once I use the detonator nothing happens, no matter where I do it :(

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
