Forum:Glitch issue

Strangest glitch has been happening to me since the new patch-the screen keeps fading to black, like it does when you try to go to sleep, I hear a creature snarling loudly in the background, and then everything comes back into normal view. Not even a second later, the same thing happens again. Is there something I can do to fix this?


 * I've never heard of this. Is it the latest patch? Also, did something trigger the occurrence or did it happen the instant you loaded your game? Yes Man default.png 06:15, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the second time I've heard about this, it keeps going to the sex scene with that female ghoul in Freeside. Other guy couldn't say what triggered it either. UserGreatMara.png pistol.png 06:26, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

This might be a stretch, but if you were to go to Freeside and kill Beatrix Russell (the ghoul), would the game stop fading to black? This is assuming that the game allows you to walk around and do things. Also, is this bug placed on a page somewhere? 06:32, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

1) This is from the latest patch, yes. Before the update was downloaded, this issue did not exist. It happened the instant I loaded my game. Nearly gave me a heart attack, too.

2) Attempted to kill Beatrix Russell, glitch was still not fixed. Also got shot a lot, but that was to be expected. The quest for the Atomic Wrangler has not been completed yet, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I have tried reloading save files stretching back to when I first began, and the glitch still triggers. Still not quite sure what's conflicting with what.


 * Another long-shot, but if you were to start a new game, does the issue still occur? Yes Man default.png 07:45, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Try clearing your cache if creating a new game doesn't work.. thats the only thing I can think of -- 07:48, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

New game still triggered glitch right as the character woke up on Doc Mitchell's bed. Clearing the cache didn't work either. Am I just out of luck here?


 * I'm not a technical genius but if it was a problem with the patch clearing the cache should have fixed it.. Apparently you've just ran into a weird glitch.. Or something with your disc is wrong. Sorry I can't help anymore.. --BattlecattleFont.pngBeware4sig.png 19:23, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
