Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian studios has just revealed that a new patch for all the versions of the game, on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, has just been launched, and is available for download on either Steam, the PlayStation Network or on Xbox Live.Fallout: New Vegas has just been launched last week, but the game has already been met with mixed feelings, as although it is an extremely solid RPG with a great story and sometimes hilarious things, it is plagued by many glitches.
We've received a lot of comments detailing bugs encountered by players throughout the game on all of the platforms, but most predominated on the console editions of New Vegas. Now, after a few minor updates were released on the PC when the game was launched, a full pledged patch 1.01 was released for all of the platforms on which Fallout: New Vegas is available. According to the Obsidian, the patch fixes around 200 bugs and problems encountered by players, including ones related to scripting, quests and non playable characters. The studio also revealed that it is in talks with video card manufacturers on the PC platform in order to fix some glitches encountered on particular graphic cards. On the console side, Xbox 360 users which couldn't load save games because of DLC warnings are advised to save often as a fix for the platform is still in development and testing. According to Obsidian, console users will see an improvement in performance and stability with the new patch. The studio also revealed that it is monitoring forums, Twitter, Facebook and other media outlets for various issues reported by players and that it will continue to try and fix all of them through subsequent title updates for Fallout: New Vegas. Until then though, try to enjoy the post apocalyptic role playing even if some glitches may still be present, or at least try to exploit them, like the recent bucket stealing one.

| Comment #1 by: pdawgshomefry on 29 Oct 2010, 19:00 UTC | reply to this comment | I could live with the glitches. I can't live with not being able to load my game. Which apparently this patch doesn't fix. |
| Comment #1.1 by: NIck on 30 Oct 2010, 18:46 GMT | THEY REALLY NEED TO FIX THE DAMN LOAD OR GIVE US MONEY BACK WHATS THE POINT OF PLAYING IF U CANT LOAD? |
| Comment #1.2 by: Cooper on 04 Nov 2010, 13:53 GMT | I play Fallout and i just got plagued by the DLC no-load bug. I don't have Xbox live though. Will I be able to download this or future patches if I don't have live?? |
| Comment #1.3 by: BethesdaLover on 13 Apr 2011, 13:18 GMT | buy the game now and it will have no glitches because it is already patched on the disc. |
| Comment #2 by: justin on 30 Oct 2010, 11:37 UTC | reply to this comment | I did notice a improvement with the new patch.. but it only extended the amount of time I can play by maybe 30-40 mins more before the game freezes and crashes.. lastly this patch is a minor improvement BUT NOT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM I hope that obsidian finds a solution because these gliches and game crashes makes the game frustating and unplayable no matter how fun it may be... (I use the ps3 console) |
| Comment #2.1 by: jeffandheather on 18 Dec 2010, 20:00 GMT | we are experiencing the EXACT same thing with our copy of the game. did you get the collector's edition by chance? we actually wrote Bethesda a letter we were so frustrated; of course, have not received a response. we just learned about the patch yesterday and am trying to figure out how to download it. hopefully they will correct their mistake(s), especially if they want the majority of fallout fans to purchase any future games.... good luck! |

Supposedly it came out October 29th, well I got a patch on October 20th, but no patch on October 29th. |
| Comment #5.1 by: webslinger67 on 31 Oct 2010, 11:48 GMT | I also have not noticed a patch, where is this so called patch on xbox live? |
| Comment #5.2 by: dfg on 23 Nov 2010, 03:07 GMT | ive never gotten a patch at all |
| Comment #7 by: captainbc on 01 Nov 2010, 06:52 UTC | reply to this comment | I have this game on ps3 and am about 15 hrs into it and it never froze up..not once. That is untill I installed this patch!!! Within 30 min I had the ole freeze/ reboot routine 3 times. I quickly deleted my game data and it's back to normal now. This patch also gets rid of the infinate caps glitch at the casino in Primm. I'm better off without v 1.01 for now... |

| Comment #9 by: dtshirk on 01 Nov 2010, 21:33 UTC | reply to this comment | I want my money back if not fixed soon!!! Today rebooted ps3 all on its own mid quest. |
| Comment #9.1 by: DeadSkies on 10 Dec 2010, 17:07 GMT | That's not the game, that's an overheating issue. You're gonna need to get your PS3 repaired soon. I know because mine did it for about a week with Bioshock 2 before I got the YLOD, best way to prevent this is an intercooler. |
| Comment #10 by: oshua182 on 02 Nov 2010, 05:07 UTC | reply to this comment | yeah, screw that save often crap, for the 2nd time i got the DLC error, on 6 of my past saves, this is nonsense, FIX THE LOAD ERROR FIRST!ts on this story... |

| Comment #11.1 by: dfg on 23 Nov 2010, 03:09 GMT | same here |
| Comment #12 by: olp on 02 Nov 2010, 18:54 UTC | reply to this comment | i freeze every time i try to go to vegas |

| Comment #14 by: pist off on 02 Nov 2010, 20:05 UTC | reply to this comment | why would they release a game that wasnt ready?
its soo frustrating to get far then have the screen freeze.
i quit till patches fix this.
looks like its back to call of duty for me.
a game that never lets me down.
thanks bethesta for screwing the world. |
| Comment #14.1 by: DeadSkies on 10 Dec 2010, 17:10 GMT | Don't thank them, thank all the brainless X-Box fanboy idiots that they rushed the game out to please. If it was a PS3 exclusive, they would have had more time to fix the bugs before shipping, and most likely a lot of the bugs wouldn't have even occured if they developed it ON the PS3 hardware and not 360's obsolete garbage. |
| Comment #14.2 by: jeffandheather on 18 Dec 2010, 20:03 GMT | we couldn't have said it better!! P.S. we are playing Call of Duty Black Ops now!!! ha ha |
| Comment #15 by: jl on 02 Nov 2010, 23:34 UTC | reply to this comment | do we have any idea when it will be fixed all the way, should they have tested it better than just rushing it through it is so dissappointing right now can't wait, seems like i just threw 70.00 away so far |
| Comment #16 by: Shleppy55 on 04 Nov 2010, 13:43 UTC | reply to this comment | I am SO happy I didn't give in to the hype and buy this game. Granted it has the potential to be so great. Alas, I knew it would be crippled from the get go. I will not purchase it until I see that they have actually tried to fix most of the crippling bugs. If only most of you held out, you wouldn't be complaining about dropping 80 dollars on a game you KNEW was going to be busted and buggy. I hope they fix it sooner than later for your sake because what they are doing is robbery. |
| Comment #16.1 by: jeffandheather on 18 Dec 2010, 20:04 GMT | how could the average person "know"? |
| Comment #16.2 by: joemama on 05 Feb 2011, 13:31 GMT | Shleppy55, yes you did. That's why you're here just like the rest of us. You just make yourself look like a fool when you try to act all high and mighty about the issue. The "average" person has no idea if a game is going to be this buggy, especially if they haven't had problems with other games from the same developers. You got screwed like the rest of us. Put on your happy hat and deal with it like everyone else. |
| Comment #17 by: Cooper on 04 Nov 2010, 13:55 UTC | reply to this comment | I play Fallout and I absolutely love it. Recently though, I have been plagued by the DLC no-load problem. I don't, however, have Xbox live. Will I be able to download this patch or future patches even though I don't live? |
| Comment #17.1 by: Db on 05 Nov 2010, 19:41 GMT | No you need live |
| Comment #18 by: gopher1975 on 04 Nov 2010, 18:59 UTC | reply to this comment | I haven't been prompted with the usual option that game has a update, so were is the patch? |
| Comment #19 by: fallout on 06 Nov 2010, 21:26 UTC | reply to this comment | mine freezes everytime i walk past techatticup mine!! I took the game back |
| Comment #20 by: Del Zonetripper on 07 Nov 2010, 08:16 UTC | reply to this comment | how do you get the patch if you are not connected to the Playstation network. I do not have a broadband connection so I am unable to download the patch. I am quite frustrated with the glitches..especially when my companions will not follow...especially the eye bot. |
| Comment #21 by: hsynhkn on 10 Nov 2010, 21:05 UTC | reply to this comment | I haven't encountered with loading problems, but there were lots of bugs in quests and enviroment. They should release another patch that fixes major problems. I don't know when, but I hope it'll be released soon.. |
| Comment #22 by: dude on 10 Nov 2010, 21:19 UTC | reply to this comment | Before installing the first patch on the PS3 version, use vats to focus on an oponent while equipped with the anti-material gun loaded with incinerator bullets, then exit vats without shooting them, that character you focussed on catches on fire! you can use this trick to kill friendy characters who are equipped with special items such as the old black NCR sniper at Camp forlorn hope with the special one of a kind lever action sniper rifle. but anyways you can do this to any character without surrounding characters such as the other soldiers in the camp, attacking you |
| Comment #23 by: what a joke on 13 Nov 2010, 01:20 UTC | reply to this comment | unreal, on the 29 level and everytime i try to go into Vegas it freezes..... i have to start the game alover again???? really.... and this is why people pirate games.,, good by 70 bucks!!! |
| Comment #23.1 by: blackdragon on 14 Nov 2010, 21:56 GMT | yeah that is very true..... maybe if they would make a game worth buying then they wouldnt have to worry about pirates |
| Comment #24 by: bert on 17 Nov 2010, 05:48 UTC | reply to this comment | i really hope they will hurry fixing them especially the strip freeze up glitch |
| Comment #25 by: regulas on 18 Nov 2010, 00:34 UTC | reply to this comment | Who does the freaking beta testing or did they even bother!!!!!! |
| Comment #26 by: jackdog 2 on 19 Nov 2010, 21:05 UTC | reply to this comment | i think the company responsible for releasing a game that you cannot even play all the way through(fallout:new vegas) should issue a public apology and everyone who bought it should be able to get a full refund,receipt or no. seventy dolaars and approx10 hours of a persons life wasted because when I get to the strip and try to exit lucky 38, the * game freezes. it is just basically robbery, to but a product on the market that does not work. the game is highly addictive, no doubt, or i would not have tried starting over multiple times. fallout 3 had some problems but * at least you could eventually finish the story. and from what i am reading their patch is not helping! what is this crap! some of us bust our asses for 70 bucks, it would be nice to know our hard-earned money was not being wasted on a * product! refund our money and re-release the game in a year when it is fixed completely instead of worhless patches |
| Comment #27 by: nowork on 20 Nov 2010, 07:06 UTC | reply to this comment | Do I need xbox live for the patch? I dont have Internet on my xbox, anyway to download the patch and put it on my xbox.
This is a pain in the neck. Why do I have to spend $50 and still do so much work! |
| Comment #28 by: Fallout Fan on 21 Nov 2010, 18:29 UTC | reply to this comment | where can I download it?!?!?!!? |
| Comment #29 by: dfg on 23 Nov 2010, 03:04 UTC | reply to this comment | every time i try to enter the strip every thing freezes up and i have to shut down the ps3 |
| Comment #29.1 by: Katan13 on 23 Nov 2010, 13:38 GMT | I keep getting the same issue. As soon as i try to enter the strip it loads for a bit, then the screen goes black and it freezes up. I really hope they release a proper patch soon as i'm getting tired of not being able to play the game i paid £40 for. For god's sake Bethesda, at some point release a game that doesn't crash all the time and is riddled by bugs. You can do that right? I mean, every other company can do it so why can't you??? |
| Comment #30 by: Edot on 23 Nov 2010, 18:24 UTC | reply to this comment | Although the game is fun, the numerous glitches make it a pain. with no patches for the playstation and no way to down load the patch when it comes, I want my money back. I should not have to pay for an extended service, play station online, to beable to play this game, |
| Comment #31 by: Snitchiny on 23 Nov 2010, 21:06 UTC | reply to this comment | ya i have the problem where i downloaded the patch but everytime i go to load up my game in the main menu my game freezes, but whats odd is that only 1 save actually works and its during the "come fly with me" quest. its so freaking annoying that i cant even play this game, and i still couldn't load (except that one save) even before i got the patch too. |
| Comment #31.1 by: ko on 25 Nov 2010, 04:52 GMT | i cant even get inside miguels pawnshop for the veronica quest |
| Comment #32 by: DerelictShip on 26 Nov 2010, 18:26 UTC | reply to this comment | You should have bought this on PC. Finished the game today. Never had a save issue, or graphical issues, no quest problems, or any kind of bug or glitch. Not even any of the good ones like the money glitch at the casino either though. I guess I got mine from the future where it's already patched. |
| Comment #33 by: chris578 on 27 Nov 2010, 15:30 UTC | reply to this comment | how do you download the patch for ps3? |
| Comment #34 by: hsynhkn on 28 Nov 2010, 16:59 UTC | reply to this comment | bah!! i hate that kind of rpg's.. stalker was very buggy too.. only solution is time.. don't get it when it released.. wait about a few months, maybe even a year.. then, you can play it without any bugs and glitches.. |
| Comment #35 by: sunslinger on 01 Dec 2010, 15:03 UTC | reply to this comment | tons of hours into the game,,i go to the strip and now i need a key to get in!there is NO key to get in.Thats the last glitch for me. |
| Comment #35.1 by: toastytoast on 09 Dec 2010, 14:19 GMT | kill the the securitrons gaurding the front gate, they all have keys, do it from sneak and you wont have any negative effects |
| Comment #36 by: audc1 on 03 Dec 2010, 11:02 UTC | reply to this comment | i had racked up over 40 hours on this game now and it has crashed loads of times the most recent corupted the save data so now i have lost everything thanks to who ever made the game |
| Comment #37 by: FooledTwice on 20 Dec 2010, 01:23 UTC | reply to this comment | It's not as much Bethasda's fault as it is Obsidian's. This is the second franchise that Obsidian has completely screwed the pooch on, the other was SW: KOTOR II. I should have learned my lesson then but I had high hopes that Obsidian would have learned from their mistakes by now. What do I get for being optimistic? Bugs, crashes and corrupted saves. Obsidian employees should be fired outright and the company dissolved. |
| Comment #38 by: bigonerski on 28 Dec 2010, 01:33 UTC | reply to this comment | * go supposed best game ever and would of been except for glitches |

| Comment #40.1 by: Rexdout185 on 02 Feb 2011, 12:17 GMT | Its actually a RPG |
| Comment #41 by: david on 22 Feb 2011, 06:55 UTC | reply to this comment | it would be better if it was only on xbox, cause ps3 fanboys rushed the development. besides bethesda only made an extra $60.00 off that one guy still playing that over rated last gen peice of crap |
| Comment #42 by: n/a on 17 Mar 2011, 19:19 UTC | reply to this comment | I have this game for the PC and they need to release a patch to keep the game from completely freezing up the computer every five minutes. I will never buy another game from them until they fix this major problem. |
| Comment #43 by: Anonymous on 31 Mar 2011, 03:24 UTC | reply to this comment | really cool, and game is great, im disapointed there isnt a free roam though. I had such high expectations from fallout 3's epic free roam. >.< hopefully they churn out a dlc? I would pay :D |

It is annoying and I can't deal with it. Any help anyone?? |

| Comment #48 by: jedi on 27 May 2011, 02:41 UTC | reply to this comment | why is it that evertime i use the hotkey or the radial menu my whole system locks up. it seems all the fall out tittle do this at least on x box. you would think this would be solved in the testing stages or is there a testing stage. |
| Comment #49 by: dekdj on 08 Aug 2011, 06:14 UTC | reply to this comment | I experienced the same freezing issues with Fallout 3. |
