Don't buy this game

Mind blowing post. There are some issues with this game. But personally I am having almost no problem at all other than very occasional crash to desktop which seems to be caused by issues with windows7 64bit memory management. Try reducing settings,

 

I use 2 machines (2 homes in different countries) but right now I am playing on:

 

i7 950

Rampage III extreme mobo

Gskill Low cas 1600mhz mem 12gb

5970 x 5870 crossfire (Which doesnt seem to be working too hard even at the highest settings)

256gb ssd (Samsung)

750 gb Samsung HD (Game installed on this).

 

Absolute no major issues other than the occasional (once even 1-2 hours maximum) crash. This is really really annoying but hardly the end of the world. Apart from this I got the game I thought I was paying for and am well happy.

 

BUT - If there is one thing I dont appreciate so far its the poor quality textures in the game. These would have been ok in 2007 but they look tired and dated now. I know it has to run on a shite box 360 but at least give us pc gamers some better choices. Having said that I am sure some decent mods for that will turn up soon and all will be right in my wasteland world.

 

In these days of games designed to last a week (Publishers call this market the casual gaming market---- see console owner) I always appreciate anything with some longevity which isnt so linear it might as well just play itself like a bad movie. Good job as usual Bethesday I would say. If it isnt perfect I can forgive the flaws (as long as you fix em) Would rather they had come up with the next TES installment but this is a fun intermediate game.

I had a few problems after first installing the game, however, it was nothing a good restart of the computer didn't fix. I think I've had one crash after 8 hours of play. Make sure all your drivers are updated and you meet the requirements of the game.

Playing with Ultra setting, lots of mods(PC) and no crashes in 2 days of playing. Wonder if its the problem with preorder version or corrupted STEAM version? Also never had that wierd spining head, bug, did anybody else even have it besides they guy who uploaded it to youtube?

at first all audio was messed up, NPCs wouldn't talk at all, the opening scene won't go on and dialogue had no sound.

 

I casually encountered a silent hill homecoming fix patch that completely fixed that audio problem for me, no more problems whatsover.

my game works just fine other than the occasional enemy getting stuck in a rock but I just get right next to them and they come right out....only to get sniped by Boone. :D

I really think the problem is these peoples computers. The game runs fine on my computer and i have been playing for several days. Only thing i have come across is a few glitches. Had like 2 scorpions stuck in the floor or fall through the floor when i killed them. And i had a dog that was stuck inside a stairwell. Nothing game breaking so far.

Same. Playing on all settings at max, got 20? hours ingame. Only a few bugs; Got a dog spawned right beside me out of nowhere. A greaser ran away and suddently hes gone.

 

All in all. Its a good game, and patches will fix it. As fallout producers ain't a bunch of Basement pimpleskins.

Yeah, the OP's problems really do seem to be machine related, or possibly steam broke the download. bethsoft games are notorious for being really susceptable to registry problems as well. My advice is to start with a clean windows install, make sure your specs meet the min (if you're on a laptop, increase the required specs about 20% to be sure) and have steam verify the install if you're still having trouble. Those things fix 90% + of game breaking issues.

Seriously. I loved Fo3, despite the bugs, but this is just unplayable. No volume or sound on my copy exept chirping cricits and ambiant music. Plus freezes, and the matter of fact I had a builing spawn on top of me. That's right. I was walking along, some some odd stuff floating around, walked up and a building spawned on top of me, requiring console codes to get out. Not worth 50$ at all. I'd pay about 10-15$ for this peice of s***. If patches don't fix it soon I'm selling my copy...

 

 

I laugh at you. lol :devil:
