If and when you guys end up doing the PC review, it’d be great if you could take time to test it on Win7 systems. Fallout 3 was “not supported” with Win7, so it’d be nice to see whether New Vegas is.

Wait… what do you mean, Solo? I just played Fallout 3 on my Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, last week. Are you saying it wasn’t supposed to have worked? o.O

I also play Fallout 3 with no problems on my windows 7 64 system, my only issues were down to my xonar sound card which got fixed, my current f3 game with all dlc etc is about 190 hours. can’t wait till friday when this comes out in the uk.

I was waiting to see a review on this game, and alas, it is looking like it will be just as good, if not better than Fallout 3.

I have a PS3, and will be picking this one up shortly. I’m hearing there are bugs with this game though, has anyone experienced this on the console or PC version?

Hey there TJ-

I found New Vegas to be just as good as Fallout 3. There are however a few bugs- the game does get stuck once in a while, or enemies will not be facing/ aiming at you and somehow their attacks will land. For a massive game though, I found these glitches to be rather minor.

Fallout NV is looking as awesome as its predecessor I especially like the premise in the above review “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, so many sequels have been ruined by game developers, and their need to “improve” the next offering, Tiger Woods 10 and 11 spring to mind.
As regards a few bugs, like getting stuck behind a rock or such like plenty of saving should cover this, having said that I hope there are not too many, anyway come Friday I’ll have three days before going back to work and a stack of hours to invest in this master-piece….viva NV

I’m saying that the official Bethesda line is “Windows 7 is not supported. We never developed for Windows 7.” People have reported plenty of problems with Win7 and FO3, especially for things like multi-core processors (there’s apparently a workaround), and various crashing problems. Personally, I’ve found FO3 to be….less stable than any other PC game I’ve played in recent years. I’m curious to see if Bethesda will officially support Win7 for New Vegas, or if they’ll wash their hands of it again and leave it to the customers’ luck.

Says right here on the box requirements are Win 7, xp Vista.. Id pretty much call that official support.
As far as the Gambryo engine is concerned, it has definate flaws and known common bugs. Its fairly easy to get running stable on most systems but being a console port there are issues from time to time.
The most common one ive found is Gom player.. The game will simply not run for me with that app installed. Ive run New vegas for 5 hour sessions with no real problems other than the quicksave is completely broken

Good game considering the dated engine .

This game was truly fantastic to finish.
I loved that when playing this game, I noticed right off the bat that the overworld map compared to Fallout 3 was much smaller, but after your 4th hour into the game, the missions, people, factions, items and locations make this place seem WAY huge.
This game was unfortunitley rushed into market though, the amount of flaws this game has is [friggin'] MASSIVE.
Once you’ve beaten the game and feel like playing it again, be warned; you need to delete your previous character saves, all of them, in order to level with your new one.

Saying that it’s just a “few” bugs is a real understantment man. watch your a$$ when you play this game, you’ll notice the assorted [bleep] amounts of glitchs and bugs, for the record, none of them help you, all of them [bleep] you over.

Good game though. I like it.

Christopher-

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad you liked the game as much as I did! I agree- the amount of glitches was almost at a weird level…didn’t ANYONE from the production team actually play the game??? It makes you wonder.

But thanks for the feedback- it’s always welcome!

Best,

Okay finished my first playthrough 92 hours, amazing game started a new char already
As for crashes and bugs maybe I was doing something right or wrong but in 92 hours of play over 7 days (couldn’t put the damn game down lol) I had one quest issue and 11 crashes now that to me isn’t alot.

My pc was on 18 hours a day without reboot, I had skype and teamspeak on in the background plus alt tab’d to the net many times, game never crashed in the same place and the updated graphics drivers (25th) + patches seem to help alot.

I am already recommending this game to everyone I know.

The crazy thing is in a 92 hour playthrough I felt I rushed it, I know I didn’t explore everything and know I missed lots out.

My next playthrough i’ve started is going to be taking the pure evil path.

have fun all.

My pc just to give info of anyone elses problems.
Intel Q6600 liquid cooled oc’d 4.0ghz running stable at 39c
DFI Lanparty DK UK X38
4gb ddr2
Xonar Dx2 sound card
Win 7 64bit

I think they should make some fallout lego it’ll be well good
