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<\/a>” is released, which will presumably contain even more fixes for the PC version, and bring its console counterparts up to par.<\/p>\n

The PC 1.2.0 patch includes the following updates, according to the official Bethesda forum<\/a>:<\/p>\n

– 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.<\/p>\n

Some people have experienced issues launching the game after installing the patch. The solution is to verify the files with Steam thusly:<\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n

If that doesn’t work, delete your ini files and repeat steps 1-5.<\/p>\n

There are no details on the date of the comprehensive patch but Bethesda will keep us all posted.<\/p>\n
