Talk:Hidden Valley computer virus

General
This quote: "Apparently, if you follow the instructions on the computer screen, you only need to do one computer and it will isolate the virus. (Yet to be confirmed)." Just plain isn't true (Aside from the unconfirmed part). Removing it so there's no blatant misinformation. - The Capulet 15:23, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to get this bug to work either. I recommend it be removed as well. --Ayumix 13:30, November 10, 2010 (UTC) (Nov 10, 2010)

This article should be merged with the 'Still in the Dark' quest. I understand that it has it's own specific bugs, but let's be honest, it is integral to the story arc Head Paladin Hardin gives you, it is directly related and part of 'Still in the Dark's completion. MERGE.

This article isn't even REFERENCED on the 'Still in the Dark' quest page. Added reference, no opinion on merge, but the quest article is long and this is part of Optional quest. --LawdyMissMaudy 17:48, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Bugs
To the guy telling me that the bug wasn't an issue on 360, please explain what happened, so I can update accordingly.- The Capulet 15:23, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Virus Bug
The bug for picking the science option in dialog with Ibsen is present on the 360 version. --Coryhamfist 21:29, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Bug does not apply to PC version
At least not when I did it with a high science skill.--Zebon 22:22, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've locked out 3 terminals and I can't seem to find the virus anywhere else anymore now, so it's definetly in pc version too.


 * Agreed. So that means that this bug is conditional.  We just don't know what the conditions are.  Btw, don't forget to sign your name in talk channels.


 * I'm stuck with only 3 also. I'm a PC with 100 natural science. Cancausecancer 2011-02-01 10:05Z

Bug on 360
I think I ran into some sort of bug today. While doing the virus lockout I tried to open the terminal and nothing showed up on screen and the screen went blurry but I could hear it. Once I exited the terminal everything went back to normal until I open up another terminal. So I think it's a bug. Nicholad 17:59, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Easy strategy - Save and Load after each virus.
Here's an easy way of accomplishing this task:


 * 1) Quickly find a terminal with a virus. Isolate.
 * 2) Create a save.
 * 3) Find another terminal with a virus. Isolate.
 * 4) Find last terminal.

If you find yourself short on time finding the 2nd or 3rd terminal, just reload the save from step #2. The virus will always be in the same locations. So you can easily find the 2nd and 3rd separately, then reloading the save game to complete the task within the time limit.

There may be a bug where reloading and finding the 3rd virus doesn't complete the task. Just reload and do it again and it should work. (This happened to me in one instance). Good luck! --Ayumix 13:36, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Speach/Science Check Walkthrough

When you pass the speech check, Ibsen will be amazed and yadadada.... he starts the isolation process. But if you choose the right terminal, you could quikly find the virus and capture it without doing all the other partioning, isolating stuff with the other parts. -(Not a user but tryin to be)

Merge
As this is listed as an individual quest in the GECK I don't think it should be merged with Still in the Dark, for the sake of keeping a full catalog of New Vegas quests. --Cartman! 06:33, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. You can complete this quest to help out Ibsen (he seems like a good guy :D) even if you don't agree to help Hardin and never give him any of the tapes. --Actreal 07:40, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

after further review.... perhaps it is a good idea to keep them separate???


 * I am in agreement with Cartman and Actreal, the quest does not need a merger, especially if it is listed as a seperate quest in the G.E.C.K.---bleep196- 06:33, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

This is bugged out totally.. It is always the one right in front of the idiot with glasses terminal that have both check and access. Then when it jumps it is only able to check. So I check it and tries to move on. Then NO FRIGGIN LUCK. And it is NOT 60 seconds. More closely to 10 totally. So it is impossible to accomplish this. I think it got bugged when doing the science check..

Yep. As I thought.. If you don't do the Science check and tries to find the terminals it's a walk in the park.. If you do de check it gets impossible. This is on PC latest patch (2011-10-29)
