Forum:Fallout NV - EPIC FAIL!

be careful folks I just came across the mother of all of all bugs, and given most bugs I have read about are cross platform.......

Location Spoilers Below

Have been playing since 10am (About 8 Hours).....no extra saves other than the auto saves....you go in and out of doors quite a bit!!

I was coming out of the Dino head and just a Black screen!!! was unable to do anything at all..turned of the 360...restarted...went to load the Autosave and get the following:

THE SAVE GAME IS CORRUPT AND CANNOT BE LOADED

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!

Together with all the other bugs like ants running on theire heads and Nightwatchers trapped under rubble....

THIS IS THE BIGGEST LETDOWN OF A GAME! I feel violated that I could put my trust in the next installment of a franchise i actually believed in. Fallout 3 has taken probably a minimum of 200 hrs of my life...

This is going back tomorrow for a full refund....NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

That's why you're supposed to save manually. Don't say this game sucks because you're a dumbass --XvLIGHTNINGvx 07:55, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * i have it for ps3, have had a couple of very brief pauses, to complain about. had it black out on me, once, butit reloaded.;i stopped relying on autosave, and that never happened again. overall, i'm content.--Logopile 08:13, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

ive had some minor glitch's like zoom in screens looking like when i open a monitor..stuff like that, and if i play for 6 hours straight it gets a little laggy sometimes and i have to just save,go to menu, reload save, and im fine, so far ive found a moderate amount of glitch's but none i cant handle, fallout 3 before the patch's prepared me for this..lol youdeadbro? 09:20, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah i have noticed similar glitches as well. and in most houses you can see where wall just dont meet all the way leaving small gaps. that coupled with the AI getting stuck in animation when its running after you and a number of other glitches i've seen makes this game quite a let down in all it just feels unfinished. i realize its not Obsidian's engine so they weren't very familiar with it but some of the mistakes r realy amateur and just make me scratch my head and wonder "How did they miss that during testing?" ~Neofawkes

well firstly maybe some wall's don't meet up because some buildings weren't exactly built by master craftsmen, idk where you saw that glitch but I've seen it a few times and mostly in old shacks made out of scrap, and fallout 3 was so screwed up if you tried to use the railroad rifle the game died, im sure eventually through patch's fallout nv will be fine, anyone else have those glitch's where enemy's are immune to damage and stuck at a random location, and the only way to kill them is to melee or have a companion do it? also, in fallout 3 even now with all the patch's i wont use the railroad rifle..that thing just screws with the game.. youdeadbro? 18:55, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're a fool to rely solely on autosaves. This type of thing happened with Fallout 3 as well; if the game locks up while saving, that save will be corrupt. Make hard saves. Not just ONE hard save, but several. This goes double for PC users, with the current Steam bug which overwrites your old Autosave and Quicksave files with the last one from your first gaming session. -- 18:59, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

You are retarded for relying solely on autosaves. they are just there for if you happen to mess up and dont want to load your last manual save. just so you get it ill say it more clearly, you are retarded to call a game bad just because you never save and then have to restart. TheGuyNextDoor.

FUCK YEAH! you´re right, go get yr refund!

BTW relying only in autosaves is the epic fail you mentioned? c´mon man, every gamer knows they should save often and in different slots. I know you´re frustrated but this is the chance to restart e do it again. if the game wasn´t funny, you wouldn't be so mad.

bugs happens, and shit, old beth provides us with the buggiest games ever, althought, they are the coolest. oblivion a have 500+ hours of gameplay, fallout 3 600+, you lost 8 hours, lets lost another 300! sonicthreat.

I learnt my autosave lesson on the first day i played FO3. I went to Megaton with low health and i made fun of Simms' hat and he attacked me. I ran in the doctors and they all came in and killed me. I only had a save at the doctors. I was pissed, and i had to start a new game. Tezzla Cannon 19:32, October 21, 2010 (UTC) Whaaaaaa...... Uuuhhhwaaaaaahhhhhhh... BITCH SOME MORE! All you do is bitch, bitch, bitch. Guess what? NOBODY CARES IF YOU'RE TOO BLOODY STUPID TO SAVE EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. Doctor L Weegee

I understand everyones upset, but with a game this big theres bound to be problems they didn’t see, I’ve heard so many glitches that only happen, as an example; while climbing a mountain, facing south at 10:56pm game time shooting laser rifle and jumping while being attacked by a death claw and my laser rifle was at 59% durability and I was wearing Leather armor and no hat and my characters hair is bright green cause I thought that would be cool and my companions where Boone but using his machete and ED-e after I finished his quest and upgraded his damage I fell through the floor. BUT if someone else went there without the laser rifle it would never happen, the engines old, the game has too much content,stop complaining they’re trying to fix it.

I feel violated that I could put my trust lol, it's only a game right? You should have used some manual saves and need to lighten up a bit ;)NPCs trapped under rubble etc was quite common in FO3 as was random crashing etc associated with specific locations on specific gamers playthroughs so again I think you are a over reacting.

 * Feeling violated? What, did the game pull off a Fisto or something? http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 11:32, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Did you get an add-on pack with your game? If so, delete it. That should fix your troubles.

Just for the record...when you went out the door, the game was auto-saving. If you turn off your console when it's saving (no matter what the game) it will most likely corrupt your save file. That's why it always says "Saving, do not turn off console". Oh yeah, and Manual save before and after you do ANYTHING!!

I really don't know or care who you are, but if he let Fallout 3 take up OVER 200 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE, I would hope you learned to do more than just save once and let autosaves do everything else for you. 107.9.237.38 20:22, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Send it in to Microsoft Depends on the model of your box if it is the first one made then you got problems here is your reaction:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUHkyb9MqRw

Reading through the comments above is a profoundly depressing experience. So many people are piling on to a critic basically because (s)he is annoyed the game doesn't do what it's supposed to do. Well, guess what, kids? If you cover up and make excuses for a buggy game like Fallout 3, your reward is an INSANELY buggy game like Fallout NV. And just what did you expect? You painted "RUBE" and "SUCKER" on your foreheads the first time you let the game designers off for screwing up in elementary ways. And that's how you're going to be treated from now on. "Oh, it's a big game, of course there are a lot of bugs." Try that on your boss when you grow up and get a real job. Next thing you'll hear is "You're fired." There will be SOME bugs, of course, but in these two last Fallout games there have not only been an unacceptable level of really stupid glitches (like the Silver Rush shoplifting exploit), but there has been ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT by the makers to correct most of them. Other companies -- Valve, for instance -- corrects bugs when they are informed of them. Bethesda/Obsidian gives you the finger instead. And you must like where they're putting that finger because you're all here sneering at someone who would rather the autosave worked and the ants didn't run on their heads. You deserve every bug you get with that attitude. The games are wonderful -- I've logged about 1100 hours in the two of them combined -- but whoever did quality control should be terminated with extreme prejudice by a gang of the sickest members of Caesar's Legion.

 * The shoplifting exploit you refer to is a legacy bug from Oblivion, as are most of the glitches. Blame Bethesda for providing a crappy engine, not Obsidian for working with it. Given their past, New Vegas is surprisingly functional and relatively bug free. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 07:36, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

New Vegas just seems to differ from person to person. I hear reports that it Runs fine, and with little to no bugs (I semi-fall in this category, but I did experience a few crashes, but that happens to me on most games...) and of course I hear the Massive amounts of "GAMES SHIT, ITS SO BUGGY! AND I CANT DO ALL OF THE MISSIONS BECAUSE I HAVE TO HAVE MY GAMES HOLDING MY HAND THROUGHOUT MY PLAYTHROUGH!!!" but yeah... its wierd. Some say it runs better on Xbox, some say it runs better on PC... I love this game more than Fallout 3 but boy is it inconsistant... 5t3v0 08:27, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

this has never happend to me on my 360 or wii but all the time on ps2 even once on my gameboy. but it did ask me if i wanted to save and corrupt my file i thought that was nice.--75.214.184.29 13:46, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

i would just start again and save properly this time auto saves are just so you dont loose everythink i.e the hole game file addmitidly i have it for ps3 and yea it does freez and do some dumb shit but you also have to take into acount how many things fallout NV is doing at once it is a massive game therfor having alot to do to keep it going [true-to-ceaser]

Dude you gotta realize that the mojave is a huge cell, with so many doors, detail, creatures, etc that every once in a while it is gonna glitch. Best thing you can do is every time you do something huge, finish exploring a vault, complete a quest, when you get on the strip for the first time and other occasions you just gotta save it normaly. When at the begginging of mine i snuck through 5 deathclaws with a sneak of 17 and no stealthboy and made it to the strip so i could intellegence implants. And then i saved when i got through them! AMAZING!!! You are a fool if you think it is the games fault for your laziness. 174.109.137.71 23:39, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

I think I'd feel my trust was violated if a fallout game was released with no bugs. Game Crashing Bugs are a part of the Fallout experience! it has been from the beginning - why on earth do you think it was left to Killap to freaking patch FO2? You darned kinds today (grumble grumble) Agent c 01:24, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

GUYS GUYS!!!! MUST READ!!!! its just a rumor and i apologize if someone already said this cuz im sayin it again! Theres supposed to be a patch coming out around the time of honest hearts that will FIX ALL FREEZING, CRASHING AND SLOWING BUGS.Nivlac96 02:35, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

Dont reley on autosaves, that simple Spraynpray9932
