[Official] Fallout New Vegas

[techbeck]

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.

[sw1tch..]

Ok so I finally got the Sniper Rifle at Cottonwood Cove. It is pretty awesome! I took out 90% of the Legion with out even being seen. Well worth the travel there however you will need a lockpick skill of 100 to attempt to open the gun case.

my god, the comic that came with collector's edition is such rubbish.

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.

For those of you running the game on the PC, http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778

This improved my FPS by 2x, where it was horrible on a very capable 5850. No visual quality hit.

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.

[arrrgh]

What does the "r3pc0n" password that you find on the rocket facility administration computer open?

Speaking of mods, http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34902 makes the UI much nicer.

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.

I really wish there was a take all option for companion inventory.

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.

Jonessie: Unfortunately you could do that in F3 as well but it looks like they have made the toilet water even more revolting this time around.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Toilets have always been that crappy (ba-dum-tish)

[Corris Veteran]

Those damn bugs, I'm just wandering, and one small winged bug came out of no where and killed me in like 1 hit, damn annoying I tell you!

That's it, you're fired, you can let yourself out.

[KyleGM]

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 :(

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.

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 :(

Did you have the DLC that came with the game? Also, PC or 360?
