Fallout: New Vegas!

[Mussels]

yea i didnt get the pre order canteen so dosent work i gotta buy water like its meth to an addict

fyi, its very easy to acquire the DLC packs online and add them to legit steam versions of the game.


i dont even consider it immoral/illega since you cant buy these packs at all anymore. (and some of them were never available in Au in the first place)

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Interesting, the games called New Vegas, but if you havent entered there, how much of the storyline is really there?

It's mostly like the open wasteland in Fallout 3 and you can do a lot of exploring out there before going to New Vegas. But visiting New Vegas itself is essential to the game and there is a lot to see in New Vegas itself. There are quite a few quests, some interesting characters, lots of locations to check out, etc.

When u say buggy as fuck, is it as bad as it sounds ?

There are bugs no doubt, which I would have to say is inevitable with the game's sheer size and scope. But it's definitely playable and particularly so for anyone who knows how to Google for help. The Vault is a great resource.

i like this game so far. but i get weird artifacts like you have when you are overclocking your vidcards too much. even when i am running at stock clocks. and even when i uncheck v-sync i still have the 60fps cap.

please help. thanks

Possibly a hardware issue. I'd suggest starting a new topic about it.

oh for those that dont know the big weapon on my character is a tesla proto whacha ma call it

I'm guessing you're talking about the Tesla-Beaton Prototype. I picked it up a long time back but haven't bothered to use it much. Those robots sure did try to keep it out of my hands.

try very hard + hardcore mode + 9mm pistol only lol much harder

That seems like it would be difficult to the point of not even being worth it. I'm playing hardcore mode at "normal" difficulty and I wouldn't try to take down the Deathclaw-infested quarry with a 9mm, regardless of ammo.

yea i didnt get the pre order canteen so dosent work i gotta buy water like its meth to an addict

I just fast travel to the closest place that has rad-free water, like Goodsprings source, or someplace around the river.

 

[AltecV1]

Yeah I have all of the packs!

me too

anyway if someone is interested i found a really nice lighting mod what makes the game look a little bit better on the eyes http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34831
and if some of you get stuck or need some item or companion codes check out this http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Fallout:_New_Vegas

Is there anyway to get the Vault 13 canteen unless you pre-ordered?

 

[KainXS]

some mods from fallout 3 work, especially the ones that change the body and pip boy

Yes. Just get the correct files and put them into your Steam directory.

EDIT: I have to be vague or I will get banned so...

NPC Lag and World Stutter FIX


Worked for me, where I would lag in the low 15 I get my well deserved 60FPS

NPC Lag and World Stutter FIX

I just tried it and now the game recognizes my 5850 as a 7900GS

Yeah it does that. Just roll with it. It will work better after you do this.

 

[Mussels]

the 'fix' forces the game to think you have a 7900 and therefore disables many graphical options.
turning the options on in the launcher does nothing if this 'fix' is installed!

ones i've seen reported as disabled using the fix:

AA
HDR
bloom
all shadows
all advanced lighting



when i tested it it did NOT remove the NPC slowdown, the overall higher FPS just made it LESS laggy - not stopping it completely.

It disabled it for me but I just re-enabled it all back in the options. I went and tested areas where I knew I lagged (cause of lots of NPC's) and I wasn't getting it.

And yes it changes what your card is recognized as, which is why it turns down settings to medium but you can just turn back on.

No lag and tends to maintain my FPS at 60 with all settings maxed out. Now I will admit I haven't tried every location but the results seem positive so far.

 

[AltecV1]

Just finished the game and got a good ending

 

[erocker]

I'm taking a very long time. I'm trying to help everybody without having everybody else wanting to kill me. Anyone opt to kill Mr. House?

 

[TIGR]

Another nerd check: I recognized the voice of René Auberjonois when I first heard Mr. House speak. It took me a little longer than recognizing Marcus as Michael Dorn, though....

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well eitherway hopefully they fix the npc lag without needed to ruin the eyecandy i tried the dll a second time and yea i cant use AA or HDR etc even if re enabled it dosent work so looks like im sticking with the NPC lag etc to the end.

and i dont know if anyones noticed but if you go to the super mutant town of Jacobstown you will get 0 npc lag even tho theres a shit ton of friendly mutants there yet any town with just 2 human npcs ill get the frame drop its rather interesting 20 + mutant NPCs are less strenuous to render then 2 human npcs but im well aware its an Obsidian fuck up so just gotta be patient i suppose

 

[AltecV1]

on the "hoover dam" mission my FPS droped from ~50-60fps to a staggering 8 and yet the 5 and 4 y.o next-gen consoles can run the game at a steady 30 fps

no, it doesnt.


even if you turn the things back on in the launcher, you are STILL getting lower graphics. various things are disabled because the 7900 it thinks you have isnt compatible with them.

turning them on in the launcher does nothing, the game overrides the launcher since you have an 'incompatible' card


and yeah the NPC lag sucks, they need to patch it already.

 

[TricksterMatt]

Wow, that sucks :/ Fallout 3 had enough problems for me tbh, and now they released an even more buggier/glitchier game... I pre-ordered this and still aint arrived which I'm glad now cause hopefully when it arrives they would have come with a solution to fix all these errors xD

 

[TheMailMan78]

How much is the collectors edition is? I looked on flea-bay and its like 200 bones.

 

[DaMulta]

Son is in tears....how do you turn gamepad play on? he hates the keyboard with a Passion...I don't see how to switch over to it.

plug in a 360 controller and it auto detects.

 

[DaMulta]

360 controller only?

What Bull-shit if it is...... I don't want to run out and spend 60 bucks on a controller......
