Fallout: New Vegas patch 1.2.0.31x was released on December 9, 2010 for PlayStation 3 (1.2.0.310), on December 13, 2010 for the PC (1.2.0.314), and on December 16, 2010 for the Xbox 360 (1.2.0.315). Keeping with its previous naming system, the PlayStation 3 identifies this patch as patch 1.02.

The patch includes the fixes previously added by the PC-only Fallout: New Vegas patch 1.2.0.285.

From patch 1.2.0.285[]

  • The 10mm pistol laser sight and the 10mm pistol silencer no longer causes the red box bug when added to the weathered 10mm pistol.
  • Crafting menu now filters valid (bright) recipes to the top of the list.
  • .357 weapons no longer cause the game to glitch when you reload while crouching.
  • Companions now show up as waypoints on the local and world map.
  • Creatures are no longer unexpectedly marked as essential.
  • Caravan cards are added to the player's Caravan deck when purchased or picked up.

Fixes[]

  • HELIOS One and Vault 11 infinite experience exploits have been fixed.
  • DLC error/save corruption fixes.
  • Entering the strip after Debt Collector no longer causes crashes and autosave corruption.
  • Using a Mojave Express dropbox no longer causes DLC warnings.
  • Veronica levels up with the Courier now.
  • Raul's Full Maintenance perk now makes weapons degrade 75% slower (like it should), instead of at the normal rate.
  • The majority of bugs surrounding the cowboy repeater seem to have been fixed, in particular the control and weapon lock-ups (observed on the PC version, and the Xbox 360 version).
  • Lily can now use a larger variety of weapons.
  • Companions now fast travel to the appropriate location when dismissed by the player.
  • ED-E, Rex, and Lily will no longer enter unprovoked combat with non-hostile non-player characters.
  • Powder jars, primer jars, case boxes, and surplus ammunition containers now automatically open upon purchase from shops, rather than having to drop the item, then pick it up to open the container.
  • A copyright screen glitch on initial disk load has now been fixed.
  • If you use the NCR emergency radio and a support trooper is too far away or dead, he is resurrected (if necessary) and moved closer. Support is also called off if the player is in an interior cell.
  • The first NCR hit squad member who comes after the hit squad leader talks to you will always spawn now, and his leveled armor/gear will keep him a threat to you. Also, if the player shoots at a non-hostile NCR squad member and makes him hostile, you will receive negative NCR reputation. Lastly, to get back in the NCR's good graces, the player must be good again AND not wear faction armor to fake it.
  • The Lucky 38 elevator is unlocked if Victor dies.
  • You can now only use Med-X once with Dazzle at Gomorrah to bypass the cost of using her services.
  • Ant Nectar Addiction is no longer incurable.

Quest fixes[]

Additions and balancing[]

Miscellaneous[]

Companions[]

  • The absolute level cap for companions has been raised to 40 (see below)
  • Companions level at a rate of 75% compared to the player's current level, raising the effective level cap for companions to 22
  • The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. statistics of most companions have been lowered:
    • Arcade Gannon's Agility and Strength have been lowered from 10 to 6.
    • Craig Boone's Agility, Perception, and Strength have all been lowered from 10 to 7.
    • Raul Tejada's Agility has been lowered from 10 to 8, and his Strength and Perception have been lowered from 10 to 6.
    • Rex's Perception has been lowered from 10 to 8, and his Strength has been lowered from 9 to 6.
    • Rose of Sharon Cassidy's Agility and Perception have been lowered from 10 to 6, and her Strength has been lowered from 10 to 7.
    • Veronica Santangelo's Agility has been lowered from 10 to 7.
  • ED-E's Follower-upgraded weaponry (ED-E My Love) is now a blue energy projectile weapon with a high fire rate, damage of 30, and a high critical chance (2.5x).
  • ED-E now has a DT bonus of 8 (protectron DT ability) to begin with. Getting the armor upgrade raises this to 20, which was 8 before.
  • Rex's DT was raised from 2 to 10.
  • When you transplant Lupa's brain into Rex during the Nothin' But a Hound Dog quest, Rex's Blood of the Legion perk now gives him +10 DT instead of the bugged +100 HP (which was intended to add +100 HP to Rex's base HP instead of his current HP), giving him a total of 20 DT.
  • ED-E now has a unique combat style, instead of using the same ranged combat style as other companions, which should make him behave better in combat.
  • Rose of Sharon Cassidy now effectively has the Shotgun Surgeon perk whenever she is serving as an active companion. Also her Calm Heart perk now works correctly, since before the patch the +50 HP was added only in her total health (50/0) not in her base health (50/50).
  • Companions can no longer lose their weapons if they're not confiscated.
  • You can no longer use companions' weapons. They are automatically removed if they are in your inventory.
  • When you give a companion a weapon, it now deteriorates like player weapons. [Feb 20, 2011] At what rate compared to player used weapons is unknown.
  • Most companions carry less than could originally. (Rex's maximum weight capacity prior to the patch is 240, afterwards it is 210)

Crafting and recipes[]

Bugs introduced with the patch[]

  • Companions will not zone into the northern-most section of The Strip (from south Freeside). Looking at the map, their markers appear to be still in Freeside. However, once the player zones out of the northern-most part of The Strip (for example, into the Lucky 38 or into the middle section of The Strip), the companions will re-appear at the Courier's side.
  • Boone has been reported to not function in combat, holstering his weapon approximately every five seconds. Additionally, Boone's head tracking does not work. These two issues are caused by code placed in his dialogue script which causes him to needlessly re-evaluate his current AI package every five seconds.
  • The weathered 10mm pistol will not display a new shape when weapon mods are applied to it.
  • When dead, Victor's companion marker will still appear on the map.
  • When buying off traders there will be a 5 second freeze when confirming purchases and sometimes causes a complete freeze resulting in the game needing to be restarted. CLARIFICATION: This happens frequently when buying cards from them. If you see more than one of the same card do not buy them both, as that will cause your game to freeze.(Xbox 360, PS3)
  • When attempting to start Dead Money quest line, the BoS bunker will be locked and requires a key and there is no possible way to get in.
  • All miniguns (including the CZ57 Avenger) are no longer synced up with their sound files. Tapping the trigger will make the barrel spin, and then the sound effect will kick in, over and over, even while holstered. (Fixed in-game by unequipping the weapon, and re-equipping it, or switching to a different weapon) [Feb 23, 2011]
