14 DAY TRIAL // Fallout: New Vegas has received a new version of the third title update on the Xbox 360 console, as Bethesda realized that the first edition caused errors while loading save game files from the hard drive of the console.
Fallout: New Vegas received a brand new patch last week on the PC platform, while the Xbox 360 version got the third title update a few days later.
Sadly, owners of New Vegas on the Microsoft console, after downloading the patch, experienced lots of errors when they tried to load save games from their hard drive.
Thankfully for them, Bethesda has announced that it has re-released the update, which has been thoroughly tested, so that no other errors will be encountered by users.
The new update version is available just for the English language version of Fallout: New Vegas, as localization efforts are still preventing it from appearing for other versions of the popular role-playing game.
Bethesda also announced that once Sony will get the PlayStation Network back online, the new update will also be released for the PlayStation 3 version of Fallout: New Vegas.
Besides the save game errors, the new update also fixes many balancing issues encountered by players, ranging from regular guns to explosives or energy weapons, not to mention some of the perks found in the role-playing game developed by Obsidian and published by Bethesda.
Check out some of the most important fixes in Fallout: New Vegas' Xbox 360 title update 3 below:
