LadyCrimson Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 According to Josh it's an NVidia drivers bug so either you roll back to older drivers or use the quick-fix provided by funcroc in the first post. Using a GTX275, still running fine on high for me. Bought it a year (?) or so ago, I think I updated the drivers once since then. But experimentally, I tried clicking the "ultra" option. Frame rate dropped by half to about 40-45fps and the mouse turning motion became skip-frame herky-jerky. Running straight ahead etc. was fine, but big mouse turns were ugly. I then tried turning the AF back down to 4 instead of 15, slightly decreased view distance away from full on a few things & lowered shadow quality to medium, which improved the jerkiness but it was still there. Haven't tried funroc's fix to see if it would enable me to run in Ultra without the mouse motion turning into chop suey since I don't have a big need/desire to run the game in ultra.

Unarmed it works to go between a boxer stance & relaxed arms...but guns?

Blodhemn Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I wish I would've waited and not got Bethesda's Fallout 3, and instead chose Obsidian's. I'm sure Obsidian's take will be better but, after I beat Fallout 3, I really couldn't get back into that type gameplay to do much of a second playthrough. Unless New Vegas is just so much better, but it's probably not different enough for me to get it. Oh wells, I'll just wait for the user reviews on this mofo board.

Lexx Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Is it safe to assume that if FO3 ran smoothly that this will too ? Apparently it runs like ass with Nvidia cards. Not for me. My system: Intel Core 2 Duo 6400, NVIDIA GeForce GTX260, 2GB Ram, Windows XP == Game runs 100% smooth on ultra high settings and 1280x1024px. I have no stuttering, no npc slowdowns, etc. pp. **** man, it runs better than Fallout 3, which I cannot play in ultra high.

sorophx Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) okay, I have a few questions and I hope one of the Obsidz will answer 'em: 1) does my headgear count when determining if I'm disguised or not? I had a few NPCs comment on my red beret but when I put it on the game doesn't say I'm wearing the NCR uniform. still I get attacked by Legion's troops (but that might have been scripted) 2) does my companion's armor count?

Lexx Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 As far as I've noticed, headgear does not count. I am running around with my red baret all the time. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Labadal Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 My copy has still not shipped. I'm really tempted to go to the nearest game shop and buy the Xbox 360 version.
WDeranged Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I just got my Collectors Edition box, the graphic novel was a short but decent read and I'm just watching the making dvd, all in all the quality of the extras is excellent, no rough edges, the poker chips (platinum and otherwise) are nice and weighty too. I ended up buying the game over steam at the start of the week and unlocking it via vpn so the excitement of getting the box set has obviously been dulled a bit, I'm pretty sucked into the game though, the rough edges are a bit of a contrast to the excellence of the box set but hopefully mods will sort it all out by the time I get around to a second playthrough. The characters are decent, the quests so far are interesting with lots of different resolutions available and I'm only about 15 hours into the game with barely 20% of the map explored, technical issues have gotten in the way once or twice but nothing unfixable. It does feel like a true successor to the first two games, there's a reasonable sense of necessity to the quests and the vibe is *very* different from Fallout 3, I'll be loading it as soon as I get back from work, which is always a good sign.
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Been playing 5/6 hours so far. Only bugs I've seen so far are a glitch with the ragdoll of my character while he died and an error with Trudy's discount (it's based on your Goodsprings' reputation which means that you can get it even before you've completed Ghost Town Firefight, just by doing the tutorial and saving the lady attacked by Geckos). Game's good so far.
Morgoth Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Is there a way to finish the Mojak quest? That ghoul Bright was heading into the REPCON basement, and I followed, but now I don't find the dudes and can't finish the quest. Bug, or did I miss something? Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Fun bug I encountered. Apparently part of the reason I have so much weight is that my armor is stacking. Only way I found this out was by dropping my armor. Then I find I still have armor. I drop it again and it's still there. One more time and I'm done! There were three things of armor in my pack. Stacked and they simply don't seperate. I was wearing them all. Too bad the DT didn't stack. Two were at full condition, the third was at partial because it seemed to be the top layer and took the damage. If I put them back in my inventory, they start stacking and disappearing again, while still contributing weight. Oh, and I think I'm in "save overwrite" territory right now. I'll know for sure when I get home. When I started saving last night, my save numbers dropped by 30. I made double sure to save repeats before I ended the game just so I had a higher save number than my old saves. I don't want to lose my progress.

And it owns bethesdas FO3 hands down in every aspect. Bloody good job, GOTY material! I agree. Despite all the claims of bugs, it also seems the most polished to me. No despawning enemies when loading a save. No "I can't get into Moira's hideout" or "the conversation with the hags drops because I don't have Gann." It's also the most functional Bethesda Gamebryo release I've played. I haven't gotten locked into a Vault, found dead named NPCs below a ledge, or gone to a quest target with no update. *sniffle* I miss having to go into the toolset to find workarounds for quest/game breakers.

Kaftan Barlast Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I havent found any bugs that I noticed, it seems s polished as any AAA game on release. The only thing I mind is that bethesdas character creation system forces you to use a ton of mods if you want a character that looks fairly human, mine looks like this after mods and half an hour of 'showracemenu' tweaking DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Gorgon Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I like it so far. I'm worried about my build though and I'm a compulsive re-starter. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Niten_Ryu Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Managed to play this far without crashing or freezing. Then I tried VATS (because dynamite throw is more accurate that way) and what do you know, it crashed just like it did in original Fallout 3. Oh how I loathe Gamebryo engine and all it's legacy issues. Other then that crash and game being fugly as hell, it's been a good times. I'm not a fan of the hard caps on skill checks (but that's been discussed already to the death) but at least skill books help a bit. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
mkreku Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I get home from work in about.. oh, 15 minutes. Then I'm going to play until my arse falls off. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
C2B Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) BEST OBSIDIAN GAME EVER. Somewhat agree. I still like MOTB, KOTOR2 and AP better but thats because I'm a sucker for certain parts about them. On the whole on the other hand. Yes, FO:NV is the best. Also finally AWESOME GAMEPLAY. Basically Obsidian improved the FO3 gameplay immensly. (Apart from a little hardcore mode imbalance) Edited October 22, 2010 by C2B
Orchomene Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I get home from work in about.. oh, 15 minutes. Then I'm going to play until my arse falls off. Still 45 minutes for me.
Enoch Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Quick spoiler request: Who, if anyone, gives you the quest to rescue the guy who was trapped in Buffalo Steve's? I chatted with the NCR leader in the tent outside Primm, and I never saw an option to do any kind of mission for him. Then I went into Primm, wasted all the convicts I could find (the bunch with the leader were tough, but after a reload, a few mines made short work of them), and sprung Deputy Whasisname. That triggered a quest that I'm apparently already on the 2nd leg of. This might be blindingly obvious with a bit more poking around the area, but I had to go to bed at that point, and now I'm sitting at work getting a little curious.
Tale Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Building right across from that one. The guy you're supposed to talk to for the quest that sent you to Primm in the first place. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
