Forum:Ash/Goo Pile Problem

Do the Ash/Goo Piles ever disappear?(PS3) They used to disappear on me after about a game week but now they don't... I really want to use Energy Weapons but can't cuz if there's too many Ash/Goo Piles in your play area, the frame rate will drop & most likely freeze, I learned that the hard way in Fallout 3 & hard to start a new game without using energy weapons...--38.120.11.197 16:03, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately this bug was never resolved and has yet to be patched. Expect your frame rate to get worse the longer you play a EW user or buy a rig and the PC version.Cpanda 22:12, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately no, which is weird because there is an incredible small third party mod available for the PC users (Goo Be Gone) which corrects this very problem, however I guess the developers just don’t want to fix issues like this. ReapTheChaos 01:19, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

I can't seem to find the thread now, but on the official Fallout forums, one of the developers responded to this question by stating that this wasn't a "bug" as ash/goo piles didn't disappear in Fallout 3 either. I guess more players need to make noise about it in order for them to consider it a bug, I don't know. I'd definitely prefer they'd disappear too. Besides the technical problems they cause, it's a tad ridiculous that an intact corpse will fully decompose in three days, but a pile of ash won't get picked up by the wind.--174.0.106.101 02:26, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

REally?! That's almost disturbing to me that a game crippling problem can be written off when a lot of people are having problems with it. I mean the people that are having problems are the ones who love the game enough to play for so long that it becomes a problem. Very sad indeed and shame on Bethesda and Obsidian in my opinion.Cpanda 18:25, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Is there a way we can e-mail the Developers so they can at least hear us out?--38.120.11.197 19:04, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

I suppose you could register for the official forums where they can be occasionally seen answering player questions. Here's a link to one of the threads concerning the upcoming patch: http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1201937-to-jason-bergman/ --174.0.106.101 19:27, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
