If you liked wandering the wasteland in Fallout 3, but hated the story, have I got the game for you. I was having a blast for about 30 minutes, but then a full sized rad scorpion came out of fucking nowhere, and now I'm decorating his stinger so he can show off to all his rad scorpion friends.

[Bleck]

I watched somebody play this for maybe an hour yesterday and it crashed six times.

[Bal]

I have yet to crash, but I am having weird framerate problems. I don't think anyone expected the game to be stable.

I still say hiding in a mini-vault is about the best you can do. It raises your odds of success by 25-30% (of nil)!

PC version is almost comically bugged. Nvidia cards especially. Anytime an NPC wanders into view, I drop from 60fps to 10. this is apparently quite widespread.  The hour I played was pretty fun though.

A gamebryo engine game, being stable? ha ha, nigger, you must be joking.

[Burrito Al Pastor]

Man, this game will be great when it's finished in six to twelve months.

[patito]

Hey, so far the game is far more stable than the convoluted mess that my fallout 3 installation had become.

I can even use autosaves without worries!

No noticeable frame drops on my ATI card over here either.

This is the only major issue I've faced. It's really fucking annoying, but I don't know if it's more or less annoying than crashing every 5-10 minutes in Fallout 3.

[Detonator]

I think I'll hold off on this until it's stable on NVidia cards.  These problems seem pretty inexcuseable, even if they are "expected".

[Bal]

New nVidia drivers came out today. I'll let you guys know if there is any improvement after installing them.

Fallout New Vegas intro bug

This is in the intro. That's just embarrassing.

[Bal]

New drivers helped. Still chugs a little bit, but is playable. Maybe it's just because I'm an old school PC RPG player, but this shit doesn't phase me all that much. The fucking car used to disappear in Fallout 2, but I still loved the game.

I've noticed a framerate hit during large battles in outdoor cells, but it's manageable.  I could probably fix it by turning down settings.

There is one thing that I think almost has to be a bug, though.  [spoiler]The entire NCR, and all the people of Primm,[/spoiler] are hostile to me, and I don't know why.  All I've done is [spoiler]the Goodsprings stuff and the first two quests for Eddie.[/spoiler]

Are you wearing powder ganger armor or friendly with the powder gangers?

[Malikial]

I have not had a single bug so far, six hours in... Sooo. I dunno, I'm running it on a laptop.

[TA]

Are you wearing powder ganger armor or friendly with the powder gangers?

I'm not wearing their armor - they attack me even if I'm naked.  I've been doing the Powder Ganger quests, but I'm still Hated to the gangers.

[Classic]

So it's possible it's not a bug, just an inept attempt at balancing?

[TA]

Well, given that the third Powder Ganger quest tells you to talk to the NCR and Primm people, that's unlikely.  The girlfriend got through the exact same point without this aggro problem, but she went to Primm before going to the Gangers.
