McclaudEagle Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm getting really sick and tired of Steam and Obsidian. I wish they'd stop patching my game without my say so. All their patches do is make things worse, so why bother? I've gone from a stable game to nearly unplayable thanks to Obsidian or whoever it is that made the patch. They should just leave it to the modding community who seem more capable than them at fixing bugs. Sorry for the rant, I'm just extremely angry right now.

ita Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 My guess is Obsidian, seeing as they're the ones who developed the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 what's "the latest patch" though? the dead money patch, or was there another more recently(which nvse wouldn't work with, so i doubt)? it would certainly explain my sudden crashes whenever i exit most city or interior cells, but those only started within the passed day or so, i hadn't had any CTD's until recently. interestingly, i noticed if i just walk around and do things outside of cities or interiors, i get absolutely no random CTD's. i'll start a completely new file and see if anything changes, but i doubt it.Fallout New Vegas was patched (as in an update was downloaded via Steam) right when Dead Money (which is, in perhaps more current terminology?...a DLC) came out, so they are two different things. As far as terminology goes (and correct me if I'm wrong anyone), nowadays (and around here, can't say for other gaming forums or areas of the internet), a patch refers to an update to the game itself, dlc is used for big official downloadable additions, and plugins are mods. Back around Morrowind-time, I think plugins and patches were synonyms even in this community but they've been "stabilized" into different identities. i was sort of referring to the patch that predated dead money. prepped the game for it, etc. too much wow on my part, and considering i modded for morrowind, well... :thumbsup: anyway, fresh start seems fine. as i said, these consistent crashes only started within the passed couple of days, the patch that predated dead money did nothing to me before, so i'm lost on whether or not that's the cause. then again, i had none of the bugs everyone complained about on release.

XerxesBlack Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) OK i have a question. i got dead money a while back and have been leveling up my char to 20 before i embark on the DLC. everything has been running decent until today when my game keeps getting about five seconds into the first loading screen and it crashes. any ideas on why? The only thing i did different was delete two unused mods out of the mod manager. again they were both unchecked and had been that way for some time.

GrindedStone Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Start a new game. (just pretend they didn't survive) Open the console. TMM 1 (Toggles all map markers on) Fast travel to the Dead Money Bunker. Run over toward the river a bit. open the console TMM 0 (Hides all mapmarkers) Rewardxp 3000 (Repeat until 20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickin Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) played a bit of my new file today, i started crashing near the electro-city HQ and the gas station just north of novac, and hadn't crashed at all until then. i kept trying and trying and kept crashing just as i entered that area. went back on an old file, walked around a bit, shot a few ants for a while then crashed again. anyone else having problems in that area? OK i have a question. i got dead money a while back and have been leveling up my char to 20 before i embark on the DLC. everything has been running decent until today when my game keeps getting about five seconds into the first loading screen and it crashes. any ideas on why? The only thing i did different was delete two unused mods out of the mod manager. again they were both unchecked and had been that way for some time. sure you didn't delete more than that? sounds like you deleted something that a plugin needed as a master file.
