deckel11 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 So....I'm thinking about staying with v1.6 (because I've finally got my game more or less stable), but I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a compelling reason to try the 1.7 patch. I play everything offline and don't care about achievements, so I'm really not too keen on downloading a new patch that will ...probably....mess up my game again. However: what's got me concerned is I loaded up Zeta and looked at it in FO3Edit.....and it's chock full of errors. So that gets me wondering if it's relying on the 1.7 version of the game somehow. In summary, I'm now as afraid to play the expansion as I am to patch up to 1.7. Anybody have any insight on this? I know it's early, MZ just got released today.

TheVampireDante Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 1.7 patch installed. Just finished Mothership Zeta with no problems, game runs stable. So far, I see no reason NOT to patch up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you've forgotten the debacle that was patch 1.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billypnats Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 that was 1.5... it's a different patch... 1.7 is fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerbalEarthworm Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 are you serious? Perhaps you've forgotten the debacle that was patch 1.5? yes, i am serious, i have used every official patch so far, bugs and all. you asked if "anyone had any insights on this", but why ask if you are only going to disagree unless it confirms your suspicions? willing something to be faulty doesn't make it so.

deckel11 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 are you serious? Perhaps you've forgotten the debacle that was patch 1.5? yes, i am serious, i have used every official patch so far, bugs and all. you asked if "anyone had any insights on this", but why ask if you are only going to disagree unless it confirms your suspicions? willing something to be faulty doesn't make it so. I was replying to your "I don't know why you're scared of it" comment. I still feel the patch 1.5 mess is plenty of reason to be "scared" of any new patch. After that, I was a longtime v1.0.015+fakepatch convert and it took a lot of community testimony before I was finally willing to give that up and use patch 1.6. So now that I've finally got my game to a relatively stable configuration, you'll have to forgive my skepticism at the prospect of potentially messing that up. But I thank you for your feedback on 1.7, as well as the others who have responded, it seems the majority out there are finding it a good patch.

VerbalEarthworm Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 good for you. i used the word "scared" soley because you said "In summary, I'm now as afraid to play the expansion as I am to patch up to 1.7." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddleofsteel Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 So it won't work with the fake patch at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I'm through trying to have an adult conversation with you. I wasn't trying to pick a fight, but apparently you were looking for one. Go flame in someone else's thread. Thanks for stopping by.
