Forum:Stuck in the Tops casino b/c The Strip always crashes

Trying to enter the strip from freeside results in a crash. I get the loading screen with spinning roulette wheel, but when it tries to go from that to the Strip, it crashes every time. Crash meaning the screen is black and the XBOX is unresponsive. Yes I am patched.

1 out of two times leaving the NCR monorail station into the strip it will crash.

25-30% of the time simply walking around or across the strip will cause the screen to lock, and the XBOX to stop responding.

I managed to get into the TOPS casino, and now every time I try and leave, it crashes with the black screen again.

Going to be kind of hard to finish the game if I cant get into the Strip. Seriously, can I return it for a refund?

Also the tunnel from Ellis AFB has some serious bugs - like walking through the tunnel wall, and a bottomless pit in front of the maint room that will teleport you back to the entrance door.

Hi I had this issue also trying to enter the strip, I read up a little and seems rather oddly that wearing an "old cowboy hat" solves this issue. Are you able to get to the strip station? if so you're going to have to kill someone for his hat in that station. Once you have it remember to take it off for combat. :)Vk209 09:11, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

Very interesting. I can definitely go back a few saves and acquire the cowboy hat. Hope it works. Thanks for the heads up amigo!
