[Official] Fallout New Vegas


Recommended Posts

I bought it today, it crashed, corrupted my save.. so now I'll have to start over again. :[

One thing I have noticed is the difficulty. You tend to get bombarded with enemies from an opposite faction and it's pretty hard to kill them all. :[

So I've been reading about you guys complaining about Fallout bugs, but never really understood what it was all about since I've never (on both F3 and NV) experienced them......Till today...

Bug 1

Bug2

Game freezes during loading (which forces me to restart my xbox)

Nothing that a simple load or restart won't fix but it get a tad annoying when it happens every time you play the game.

I love how easy it is to get distracted and lost away in side quests and exploring in these types of games. I have been able to go to the vegas strip for 2-3 days now and still have yet to set foot on the strip and continue on with the main story. I really want to go to the strip and do some of the achievements but Im so caught up in exploring all the undiscovered locations and finding loot. Great game content wise. Performance wise like many have already stated, buggy as hell. I have had a few game lock-ups, VATS not activating sometimes, NPCs stuck in level geometry, etc. Obsidian should have put more working into fixing some of the more serious flaws with the engine. Hopefully for the next Fallout/Elder Scrolls game they will bang out a brand new game engine with a lot less bugs.

Other than that I love the game. I am probably sitting around 15+ hours played so far and still have a bunch of the wasteland to explore and quests to complete. Like its predecessor Fallout 3, New Vegas has be busy looting like crazy, just to makes some caps and craft some goodies.

Well I lost my companion, they were there one minute and gone the next, lol.

And I went searching and ended up getting raped by a bug and killed in 2 hits, there is something peculiar with this games difficulty, it feels like they spruced up the hit points and defense of everything just because they can, the bits where I have died I was on Very Easy because I nearly got killed just before by some other seemingly easy beastie.

I told my dog to wait for me at Goodsprings. I then started exploring caves and buildings and so forth, I was sneaky-killing some zombies when my dog just strolls around the corner, walks up to me and starts barking. Stupid dog.

I finished the main story last night. Quality ending,

I was surprised at how many of the seemingly random quests it references at the end. Unlike Fallout 3, where there were like four things. It's a pity you can't continue after killing the Legion dude, because he has not only an awesome sword but an amazing helmet.

I think now I might start a Legion character and rape and pillage me some NCR.

Ok, try this:

Add this to the end of [Display]:

fDefaultWorldFOV=90.0

Try another values and set the one that is better for you.

Still no change :/

Maybe the game locks it?

I started playing it on the weekend and love it so far. I am about to head off to Cottonwood Cove in search of a snipers nest that apparently has a good sniper rifle in a locked chest. Bring on the Legion, I am already hated by them ;)

Me too - if you have Boone you pretty much have to hate the Legion because regardless of your setting Passive/Aggressive he will kill them on sight :/

Still no change :/

What file are you editing? You suppose to edit FalloutPrefs.ini

I got mine edited to "fDefaultFOV=85.0000", "fPipboy1stPersonFOV=58.0" and "fDefault1stPersonFOV=70.0000" and this is how it looks like:

edit: Never mind. Just noticed you aren't happy with the results, and not not seeing any.

I have heard that if he attacks them and you do not attack them back, they will not attack you (despite being hostile) and you will not lose faction with them, meaning you could drop him at a later time and go to their side. But, I haven't gotten that far so I cannot test it out.

As for the Deathclaws, I do not think they jumped, but they had some sort of dash attack where from medium range they could close the game and hit you very quickly. So maybe they replaced that with a leap attack?

I remember Deathclaws leaping at you, with their lunge attack.

They were never a problem for me in F3, I always ended up with the Gauss Rifle that did loads of damage (One shot kill everything but Overlords, Albino Radscorpions, etc.) with high enough stats + perks.

Well,

I started a new game, decided to explore a bit instead of just running from Quest Marker to Quest Marker. It was quite irritating at first, running into Super Mutants at Level 3 didn't really help me explore. *laughs*

It's definitely not as balanced as Fallout 3, and the exploration is limited too.. I've run into a few invisible walls which was annoying for me, but still.

I think it's a great game, it's not worth what I paid for it, but I won't moan about it. I'll probably never discover everything it has to offer, so I guess the quantity is there. :3 Just not sure about the quality yet.

Do like using companions this time around though - couldn't stand them in F3, always felt they were a bit useless. I'm packing Boone and Rex at the moment. D:

I really wish they would address teh save game issue in FO. I want to do that one quest, but cannot so I am doing other things. Annoying as hell that company produces a game with so many issues.

I heard something about a issue that corrupts your saves. Do you have any details on that?

I didn't had this issue. Didn't it fixed the problem for you?

That for the PC or XBOX? I have an XBOX

I heard something about a issue that corrupts your saves. Do you have any details on that?

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.

Oh, i tough you had on PC, you didn't mention your platform. :/

Now i get it, but on their blog it says they're working on the problem.

I completed the quest a few days ago and everything is fine with my saved games. Does this happen to select people or a game wide bug?

AHH this game sucks, constant freezing, glitching, quest glitches, Very very poor frame rate, you name it i have experienced it. Now this crazy chick at hoover dam wants me to kill everyone at the brotherhood after i have befriended them (which sucks) Caesars and his legion is dead as i took care of all them suckers early on, killed Mr. house and Big Sal cause of the conflicting (For The Republic, 2) quest glitch which wouldnt let me continue the game, so now i'm really upset.:angry:

Its happening to a lot of people. Do you have a XBOX 360? Did you download the DLC that comes with the game?

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)

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
