Heh, same thing happened to me when I was adding a Silencer to the 10mm.

Yeah it is a weird glitch with the 10mm. I have no trouble with mods for any other weapons, just the 10mm.

i don't get it how do they not notice these problems especially the npc issue, i mean wtf none of the developers used the 10mm before ?

Obsidian Entertainment, technical glitches is their trademark.

Remember, Fallout 3 and Oblivion are extremely glitchy too, even after being fully patched.

As far as bugs are concerned, the Beyond the Beef quest in the Ultra-Lux is the worst. I had at least two dozen crashes (probably closer to four) until I finally finished it.


You'd think Bethseda/Obsidian would have learned from Fallout 3 not to terminate the game after you complete the main story but no...we'll have to wait for a DLC for that.


By the way, has anyone come across any mods for the Anti-material rifle?

Well yeah of course there games are on a much bigger scale than most games out there so of course it has it's fair share.. Like WTF..... And to top it of some of the best out there and not these crappy 4-20 hour BS lame pussy ass crap like COD3 and the rest after.

i had no crashes at all, just did that quest

All the complaints people have about these games I found really peculiar. I always of course patch my FO3 and NV as soon as one comes out from the paranoia of all the people having loads of problems but yeah mine has been fine. So fine in fact that on FO3 I am running a tonne of mods with no problems and makes it look really awesome. You have to give Bethesda one thing, after what 3, 4 days they released 2 patches to help fix problems reported. That is some really good support. As to those who say it shouldn't be buggy in the first place, every game has it's bugs, and these bugs as mentioned before are not like some of the ones in Medal of Honor where if it's bugged, BANG! crash to desktop, they are more like quirks if anything be it annoying or not.

It depends on what path you take. It has quite a few warnings in the dialogs that you are committing to it just like in Fallout 3. Actually, I think a whole text box popped up and asked if you wanted to start the end game or not so it is impossible to miss.

No mods for the .50cal rifle .

Sucks. I guess that makes the Sniper Rifle the best all-around sniper. Save the anti-material for Deathclaws and the end game. XD

You are so, so lucky. Literally, after getting past really really crashy part (talking to Chauncey in the steam room), I was getting all mental over anticipating the crash. I never had seen a game that was so hit-or miss on crashing like that.

It was maybe the sequence of events leading up to that mission that caused it to get bad. I don't know. I just hope it doesn't do it on playthrough two.

You have to give Bethesda one thing, after what 3, 4 days they released 2 patches to help fix problems reported. That is some really good support.

That's typical. They send the product to manufacturering while they continue to develop it. For example, it is released to manufacture on the 1st of the month for a 30th release. On the 1st, they also start on, or finish the first patch. It then goes into debuging and quality assurance which could take a month by itself. Come the release date (30th), it is co-released with a patch. Most games do that these days because development is always cut short.

Back when patching was non-existant (because the Internet was still <=56K), they made sure every game worked perfectly the day it was released because fixing it means a very costly recall. Since all platforms can update (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Windows, and Mac), they have a release now and patch later mentality. Publishers no longer value day one quality and some (like EA), actually use patching as one of their supposed DRM methods requiring the user to go back to the publisher to make the game bareable.

Look what I just found

 

[SabreWulf69]

that... looks... freakin... SWEEEET!

 

[Mussels]

i found that one too, the .50 cal did far more damage, but that blingy rifle is semi auto for more rapid fire

 

[KieX]

There is a store in some town which only stocks energy weapons. If only I could take on the whole shop for those plasma rifles... but think I'm still at level 10 so gotta go easy

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well i can say theres a rifle i prefer more then the snipers

its called the All American it uses 5.56 rounds but is 24 round semi auto has a scope built in and uses a green and black cammo it works to stop everything in its tracks except Deathclaws

and for anyone attempting to kill the Alpha Deathclaw and Mother Deathclaw *theres only 1 in game so far that ive found of each*

Spoiler

find a high spot use the khan encampment at the Quarry jump on top of the rock crusher bin you cant miss long steep conveyor belt just get up there with the anti material rifle + armor piercing rounds on very hard + hardcore took 15 headshots for the mother and 20 for the Alpha but it dropped them both for the record its the ONLY way to kill them im dead serious even with power armor and 450HP they will 1 hit you no matter fucking what so no lame fight them like a man BS you can try it and you will die

that place your talking about has a major quest for 1 companion easiest way to deal with it is Grenade Machine gun if u want to loot it equip the faster firing mod and kill the guy outside go inside move outside they will follow you just start firing that grenade machine gun and you will kill them all and can loot the place to your pleasure made around 50k caps for there gear for the record im lvl 26 and and have found all but 7 location in game and still have yet to enter New Vegas im having to much fun dealing with the various factions

those two DC's are actually part of a quest, hence their uniqueness and sheer toughness.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

true mussels im aware im just saying theres no other way to kill them but the method i described serious i took every chem u can to boost str agi hp dam resistance etc my total damage resistance is 50+ meaning most puny enemies cant even hurt me and they will still 1 shot you pretty much no matter what even a Fat Man wont kill them

I'm seein this a lot more in this game than Fallout3. Killing people then being told I failed a quest which I never even started. Or it could be my kill everything approach

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

btw im STILL PISSED that Fraps will not properly record this game so i cant take badass game footage videos... i wanted to record my smaching Cook Cook to death with my super sledge only to at the last minute pull out my anti material rifle and blow his leg off... or the Deathclaw kills... that was awesome or my attacking the base of Mr House's robot workers.... took on like 30 robots that was awesome theres a tool shop in the wastes where if u read the terminals u get some insight into some of Mr House's past as far as i can tell eitherway that and when i got the Tesla beaton prototype... i had to kill 4 sentry bots and a bunch of other stuff was a hard fight on very hard but so worth it

From what you're saying I'd love to see you deal with the secret of Vault 11

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

lol its simple for me now begining game weapons made me hate NV after i got some better stuff and worked my ass off for the brotherhood and got the power armor shit balanced out mostly it comes down to headshots and leg shots cripple them they cant keep up and i can just run in circles shooting them ill get some SS of my characters weapon load out in a few

Is that the one from the sniper's nest? Next level up I will have lockpick at 100 so I can unlock that weapon box.
