Bethesda continues to caulk buggy holes in New Vegas. The PC version has received an incremental update via Steam – version 1.2.0. This should tide PC owners over until the “comprehensive patch for all three platforms” is released, which will presumably contain even more fixes for the PC version, and bring its console counterparts up to par.
The PC 1.2.0 patch includes the following updates, according to the official Bethesda forum:
– Companions now show up as waypoints on the map.
– Companions will always fast travel with you, unless told to wait or sent away.
– Crafting menu should filter valid (bright) recipes to the top of the list.
– Fix: DLC error/save corruption.
– Fix: Stuttering with water effects.
– Fix: Severe performance issues with DirectX.
– Fix: Controls temporarily disabled after reloading Cowboy Repeater while crouched.
– Fixed crash using the Euclid C-Finder while having the Heave Ho perk.
– Fix: Entering the strip after Debt Collector causes crash and autosave corruption.
– Fix: Using Mojave Express dropbox can cause DLC warnings.
– Fixed crash when buying duplicate caravan cards from a vendor in a single transaction.
– Fix: Sitting down while looking down a weapon’s ironsights leaves player control locked.
– Fix: If a companion is knocked uncon. with broken limbs they stay broken on respawn.
– Fix for varmint night scope effect persisting in kill cam.
– Fix for giving companions armor that adds STR does not increase their carry weight.
– Fix NPC Repair menu displays DAM as DPS.
– Having NPC repair service rifle with forged receiver decreases CND.
Some people have experienced issues launching the game after installing the patch. The solution is to verify the files with Steam thusly:
1) Open Steam.
2) Right click on Fallout: New Vegas.
3) Hit Properties.
4) Click the “Local Files” tab.
5) Click on “Verify Integrity of Game Cache”.
If that doesn’t work, delete your ini files and repeat steps 1-5.
There are no details on the date of the comprehensive patch but Bethesda will keep us all posted.
