Forum:Ahh Jeeze

So I'm back to playing New Vegas again and I've got the unlucky time of the month for the game... 24/7 game freezes. I can only play for about 30-60min before it freezes. Then I have to restart and what not. Mind you, I save often, but it is becoming annoying. I've found out WHY it happens. Once it froze as it tried to load hostiles going from hidden to caution while at the same time, making the hidden valley smoke effect go off. Another time is when I think ED-E wanted to talk to me while at the same time, caesar's drop box quest wanted to become active.

Thing is though, freezing has never been this bad for me, only happened once every 2 days, now its 2-3 times a day, if not more. I've downloaded all DLCS and have been wondering if there are any tips to lessering the chances of the game freezing. I know you can turn off radio, set music to 0, turn off effects and junk. But I love that stuff. Only change I've made that may be beneficial is that I made dramatic death scenes go to player view (which is actually 10x cooler because you get bullet time effect, lol)

So if anyone has any tips to lesser the freezing, I'm all ears. If it helps, I play on PS3. And no, I havn't enterred any DLCs yet (I can only imagine what a shitstorm that will be with all the freezing).--24.36.136.171 15:07, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I use an XBOX 360 so I can only say to try to get rid of unneccasary memory on your hard drive/memory card, stuff like for games you will never play again or all unused content, and when you're finished: try to copy the game onto a memory card. Hope it helps. NCRFirstReconSniper 21:03, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with NCRFRS on that. Copying the game to your hard-drive takes a lot of stress off of your system. Especially on the amount of work the fans have to do. Really it's better overall to install a game that you'll be playing frequently, and then uninstall it later when you're not playing as much. Dopesmylez 19:50, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I meant hard-drive, but yeah, thanks for correcting me. And make sure to clear up some space for it, FNV is a very large game... NCRFirstReconSniper 00:32, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
