Forum:Bugs...

So -- apparently Fallout New Vegas is rife with bugs. My only experience has been that quicksaving doesn't work once you exit the game. You can quicksave, quickload and play normally within the game, but once you exit the game and try to load your quicksave it turns out that it doesn't exist.

Fortunately this did not end up spelling disaster after logging half the day into the game because the lag issues are ridiculous. It's the same engine as Fallout 3, so why should Fallout 3 work maxed out and New Vegas lag so badly that it's unplayable? It's not like the engine is new and demanding. Unfortunately I've spent the past two hours of my morning trying everything to make this game work and have come to the conclusion that it must be Steam related in some bizarre way. I have an insuperable hatred of Steam from years gone by, but after eliminating everything else I think my first instinct must be right. I'm working on an almost fresh and newly cleaned version of Windows 7 64 bit with up to date drivers.

Bottom line -- can't play New Vegas. Frustrating.
