dumb is such a harsh word... i guess it would be.... unwise

but, to each their own, and i bet there a few people that gonna try it on their second playthrough

There's a Pew Pew anyway, if you didn't get that perk. But then the questline's tedious, to say the least LOL

Well, I figured out how to make everything into a fomod. Now wondering what archive invalidation text to use. All of them seem to mention not wanting to use for one reason or another. Also wondering if I should be looking at anything for FPS fixes, or if thats been resolved through patches?

dx9 dll fix for ati gpus up to date on patches myself game still requires that to run properly

1Kurgan1 · Jan 1, 2011

Any idea on the archive invalidation text?

My FPS is generally fine maxed out too. Stays around 60 with one 6850 or two. Though I will sometimes get horrible slowdown in VATS where I can't really do anything. Happened in the first game too.

What is this DX9 dll ATI fix thang exactly?

crazyeyesreaper · Jan 1, 2011

i have the slowdown issue only with New Vegas

Fallout 3 and Oblvion run fine and dandy but avg fps with single or dual 5800 and single or dual 6900s was the same in major areas aka Vegas Strip avg fps was 20-30 no matter if single or dual card adding the Dll fix pegs my FPS at 60 at all times

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 1, 2011

Hmm well it appears like my VATS slow downs may have been due to CCC-forced 24x Edge Detect AA. Ran fine for awhile but then got auper sluggish in VATS about 15 or so mins in...

Great mod list with descriptions and links:

Anyone have any experience with FNV Enhanced Shaders?

Just beat the game yesterday. Awesome title. Now I'm just roaming around looking for new spots I've missed. I hit L29 before I beat the game. Not sure what the level cap is.

Level 30 is the cap.

WhiteNoise · Jan 3, 2011

awww bummer.

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 3, 2011

Just a minor nitpick re. semantics really but with a game like this you don't really "beat it" more like you solved the main quest.

WhiteNoise · Jan 4, 2011

True. I do have the mod that allows me to continue playing and I have. My biggest gripe is the lame ass reward for beating the game in hardcore mode. What a terrible reward.

woof woof!

I'll wait till GOTY comes out and steam has it for $15 lol.. Got FO3 GOTY cheaper than FO3 as we all know the price will drop sooner or later and lets be honest DLS are just short and partly annoying anyways.

I would like to see them to expand the map and not not just added area's which was the deal you got with FO3 DLC's.

IndigoGoose · Feb 8, 2011

Such a Epic game i love it
Fallout 3 i loved i did everything

BumbleBee · Feb 8, 2011

Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money (DLC) will be out Feb 22 for PC and PSN. there are 3 more DLC addons in the works.

PS, Mailman bring back oddball

Frick · Feb 8, 2011

I'm playing this and I like it more than vanilla Fallout. It feels like and actual Fallout game instead of a Fallout fanfic. The major downsides are all in the engine and AI (damn you Bethsoft!).

Anyway, I still don't like the gore and exploding faces. It's a serious turn off for me. The .ini-fix works only occasionally and the mods I've found only crashes the game. Anyone know any mod that can disable it?

Frick · Feb 9, 2011

A fresh example of said downsides: My companions (the BoS girl) talks to the air all the time. Crawling around in abandoned office buildings? She'll greet old friends. And now I just hacked a computer in an old place and suddenly my reputation with NCR (who are not even close) suddenly drops and a bunch of them run to the top floor of a building in the middle of nowhere and say I have three days to improve my rep or they hunt me down like the filthy dog I am.

Sigh.

I think this is not a fault of the game but more a problem of AMD graphic drivers i.e. the more modern drivers (10.10e included :ohwell:

).

I bought Vegas on release but haven't played it for months. The horrible slowdown in VATS you mention was what made me quit...

Anyway after being on 10.10e since its release I decided to play The Sims 3. After/during loading I get a frozen black screen and have to reboot the pc. I tried other later drivers, still no do.

So, for the sake of getting Sims to work I installed the driver I knew the game ran fine on i.e. 10.1 (dated Jan 2010!)

Thanks to 10.1 I resumed New Vegas. Now it runs fine, always 60 fps (vsync) sometimes dropping to the high 40's (but I don't blame the game for that, I'm running on all graphic settings maxed at 2560x1440.)

The fps lag I used to experience never happens now on 10.1 driver but it happened on 10.10 till the latest one 11.1. And believe me the lag I used to get was very bad, like 1 or 2 fps for more than 2 minutes. There'd be no way I would have quit playing New Vegas otherwise...

Stearic · Feb 11, 2011

Just started playing FO:NV a couple of days ago. So far, no game-stopping bugs, and the game seems decent (I really loved FO3).

I am running it on my new p67/i2500/GTX570 system..runs super smooth with everything maxed out and 4xAA/15xAF @1920x1200.

It's been a while since I have been able to indiscriminately max out all graphics settings for a game hehe.

Ray_Rogers2109 · Feb 13, 2011

Already sold New Vegas on 360 due to first DLC being released. Wake me when the Game of the Year Edition is announced for both so I can rebuy it for 360 and buy it flat-out for PC.
Even did the same thing for 3 on 360 but the retail price for PC is a bit too much to my liking. I'm one of those "discphile" persons. Force of habit since I can remember actually.
Very glad I always keep FALLOUT Trilogy installed from the DVD-ROM.
