QUOTE (Karoline @ Nov 19 2010, 12:45 PM)  I'm kind of thinking their problems came from not testing on enough different systems, and so it is only certain systems which are having problems. You just got lucky and have a system that is trouble free.

QUOTE (StealthSigma @ Nov 19 2010, 12:12 PM) My game is updated, I think. I bought it via Steam. I've actually not had any crashes with New Vegas and it's been pretty stable as well. A little sluggishness (maybe) when there's a LOT of clutter around, but that's to be expected. Likewise. It's even taken the myriad of additions I've slapped onto it with only one slight hiccup (that was fixed after I found the supplementary pack for it). |

I wonder what else could be the problem. Does it require SP3?

There is a performance boosting fix DLL file that is available here:
http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778 Alternate version - http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34970 Apparently the version of DLL that comes with the game can cause system conflicts, these are older versions that may be more stable. -k |

So, NV was on special in the local gamestore..
Steam apparently wants me to wait until Christmas anyway as it's not playing nice and I can't install the damn thing. |

Apparently, having bought an actual physical copy, I still have to download it through Steam before it'll install.
Can't say I'm impressed. Edit: Apparently, If I try and install it with patchy Steam access it does a partial get if off steam later install. If trash it then reinstall with steam working properly, it finally installs from disk. Go figure. |

Veronica's mission was very unsatisfying, it seemed they set her up for failure. i don't know if there is a way to get a positive end out of it. I was going to try and run her mission after getting the lockdown ended and keeping the moderate eldar in charge but at that point I just wanted to end the game and collect my Hardcore and NCR achievements. While veronica is one of the most interesting personality wise her side quest had to be one of the more tedius and annoying.

I had two branches being blocked off because they relied on overlapping with some other quests that i had already finished (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) I wonder if it is another case of obsidian having some grand plans but getting cut of by whoever wanted a release asap. Basically the same that happened with a ktor2. |

Well the helios branch may not be broken pr say (i think i could have completed it if i had made helios work as a weapon, my intention, rather then break it), but the food branch was pointing me to the vault mainframe with no option for it to go "ah, that info have already been collected". This leaving me with only the irradiated vault option (ye gods!). |

i collected both quests and then went into the vault, so both quests got completed and it started E-DE's quest. |

Hey, i would not mind if the plant vault branch went like helios, saying "oh crap, already got/destroyed that data so thats not a option". Problem is that the branch basically hangs, pointing you back to a mainframe that contains no data. I guess they never considered the possibility someone would bypass veronica on first meet, and then backtrack when going solo got "boring". I just wonder if the NCR quest will break in the same way if i try to get the data for her first rather then NCR. But then i also managed to loose the vegas passport at some point (guess it happened during all the "stripped of gear that then gets returned", and i fast traveled back to vegas before the messages had finished playing) and had to force my way in via the NCR base (pesky trigger happy guards!).

It's in the room that has a window to the rocket staging area. Might make the irradiated areas a mite easier. -k |

By the by, be VERY WARY of dealing with the Brotherhood of Steel when trying to get them to ally with the NCR. I am putting the BoS quest on the queue to do last, so if I muck it up, I can actually reload and fix it.

The Outcasts were assholes. It's also very telling that the Capitol Brotherhood chapter is only very tacitly aligned with the California chapter - and that every single one of the Brotherhood expeditions to expand their influence has become a chapter in its own right and sits on bad terms with the original. No wonder Veronica's line is so crappy. They're stagnating and they know it. |
