Unfortunately I never had FRAPS on to record it when it happened so I have nothing to show for it. I saw my character’s neck elongate, and limbs grow and shrink in size for no reason. Still, I found it kinda funny.Īnother fairly hilarious bug shows up during some death animations that causes the body to deform in weird ways. At least not without making some more or less complex changes to the engine itself. I guess this is a limitation of the game engine – there is probably no way of making semi-solid, semi-destructible objects that would simulate how a real tumbleweed would react to my attempts to jump onto it. Yes, I am crouching on top of a tumbleweed. Or maybe I’m just lucky.īy far this was my most favorite of all bugs I have encountered: I bought the game through Steam and I have seen it update it at least once so far, so I’m thinking that maybe the issue got fixed already. People keep telling me about some crazy save game destroying bug that affects the game, but I have not seen that one yet. It is not a big issue tough, and I suspect the cause is burred somewhere really deep in the physics engine guts, because Bethesda now has 3 games and a few expansions and DLC’s that are all affected by it. If you nudge any of the floating items with the Z button or bump them with something else they will drop down to the surface, but otherwise they will just stay in mid air forever.

More often than not, everything else that was on the same surface, will inexplicably float up about half an inch into the air, and stay there. You can test it yourself: walk up to a table or a shelf with bunch of items on it and take one of them. The very old physics bug is still there though – the one that has been around since Oblivion.

New Vegas does not have either of these, which made me a very happy camper. There was also some water reflection bug that would crash the game if I looked at a puddle of water under the right angle. It didn’t happen all the time, but often enough to be incredibly frustrating. It does not mean they are not there, but luckily I was able to avoid them somehow.įor example, Fallout 3 had a persistent bug that would constantly crash my game to desktop when entering VATS. A game made by Obsidian on Bethesda engine should be rife with game breaking bugs but (knock on wood) none of these showed up yet. Before I start complaining about the bugs in the game, let me say this: so far New Vegas had fewer problems than Fallout 3 for me.
