Patch Coming for Fallout New Vegas on Xbox 360
As much as the wait for a game's release can be unbearable,we really hate it when developers rush a game out the door. That appears to have happened in the case of Fallout: New Vegas, which launched last week on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms simultaneously. It's hard to say which version is the most broken. On the PC, users have reported poor performance and compatibility issues. The Xbox 360 version suffers from annoying game save corruption problems, while the PS3 seems to be particularly plagued by weird graphical glitches like disappearing objects. All of the different versions suffer from quest scripting problems that can cause players to fail missions in bizarre ways. Thankfully, Bethesda is working on a patch for the game, which will be available for the PC platform first, and consoles sometime thereafter. Here is the official word from the developer:
As you may have seen, we released a patch over Steam for PC users last night. While we didn't release a full changelist, the patch contains quest and scripting fixes. It's not a minor hotfix, it contains over 200 fixes in all. We are in the final stages of testing this update on both 360 and PS3 and we hope to have them out to users very soon.
We are also pleased to say that we have just released a second fix for PC users to address the autosave and quicksave issues that some people were encountering. That particular issue was never seen prior to release and it was extremely difficult to reproduce reliably, even after the game had launched. In order to fix this problem we have had to disable Steam Cloud functionality. It has been turned off, and we won't turn it back on until we're absolutely sure it will not cause any more problems. Please restart your Steam client to make sure you get the update.
We are also working directly with hardware manufacturers to improve performance for certain video cards. This is a driver issue, and not directly related to the game.
On consoles, we are aware that a small group of 360 users are seeing a DLC warning which is preventing you from loading save games. We are absolutely looking into this bug now, along with other reports of save game corruption. It is our highest priority right now that we find out what is causing it. In the meantime, we recommend you save often, and revert to an older save if this occurs.
As far as general memory and instability, you should see an improvement once the patch goes live, but we are continuing to work on this based on user feedback.
We want everyone to know that we are monitoring the forums and cataloging every single issue we see reported. We're reading forum posts, we're checking Twitter, and we're reading Facebook comments. We aren't able to reply to most threads, but we're listening. If we see an issue, we have people here trying to reproduce it so we can fix it.
