I passed on Fallout NV when it was released because of all the technical problems, now I'm looking to pick it up but what is the game like now? Has there been patches, how many technical issues are there? Cheers. :P

There have been some "patches". I use quotation marks because the patches have barely salvaged the game.

Still freezes on me a lot. About 30% of the time I get stuck in V.A.T.S. mode. A few quests I've tried have bugged on me as well. Screen sometimes freaks out. Sometimes random noises would happen like loud garage doors shutting. Enemies and companions get stuck in the geometry

The latest patch fixed everything for me personally (except for a ridiculous delay whenever the mysterious stranger appears). It's only hitched up a couple of times in the 100+ hours I've put into it, which is much better than what it was doing before I put it on hiatus for a month.

I put about 60 hours into the game and barely had any issues at all, a couple of freezes and one quest glitch that was fixed by reloading an old save. Maybe I just got lucky.

i have 50 hours into this, and it froze on me about three times, i've seen about 4 enemies get stuck in the ground, and about 6 times when i enter into vats mode, nothing happens. That's what better when I rented it when it first came out, but I still feel as if it's inexcusable for a game to freeze on me.

I have problems from time to time, but overall it really hasn't ruined with the experience. Just a few freezes, objects in the world freaking out, and for some reason, invisible kitchenware appearing apearing at HELIOS I...

I had 1 freeze in over 40 hours of play with only the first 2 patches so I already thought it was fine, and I would think by now its gotten even better.

the only glitches i had issues with (bought it on day 1) was the radscorpions falling through the ground, and occasional freezing (personally, nothing to ruin the game for me) and after the the second patch I didn't have issues after that but I haven't played since november

I haven't had much problems. It's froze a few times, but that's about it.

I never had a single problem with the game... apart from the fact that it's too long and not, overall, as good as Fallout 3.

I doubt there is anyone that didn't experience the "jumping arms" while holding a rifle, and from what I've heard it still does it. I might put the game in tonight to see if they could even fix that.
