The Watcher Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 So I was wondering about buying Fallout: NV Ultimate Edition but was worried if the lag problem was fixed or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Nope it's still laggy as heck! Lonesome Road is the worst, some areas in there have a Frame-Rate that's nearly always in single figures when your Save is past the 10mb safe zone . Edited April 27, 2013 by Terminator Fixed typo.

Lonesome Road is the worst, some areas in there have a Frame-Rate that's nearly always in single figures when your Save is past the 10mb safe zone . I'm in a pretty bad place on Lonesome Road, I kept pushing ahead as back on Fallout 3 (The Pit to be precise) I had single digit FPS up until a save point where I could reload and things were more stable. But on Lonesome road, it's a never ending slides how of images rather than a smooooooth gaming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiL Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Im pretty much stuck now, I just cleared out the Nightkin from a basement for the ghouls next part is to follow them down and im getting like 1 frame per second when I shoot it takes about 5 seconds after I hit the button. I tried restarting my ps3 but no luck, looks like I will have to delete my save and start again my save has grown to 6mb I have UK version of Ultimate Edition Edited April 27, 2013 by FiL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Try the Cache Clear Code: Hold , and after the anti-save file corruption message has disappeared and the trophies have loaded and keep holding them until the main menu appears. You'll know if it has worked as the words "Fallout: New Vegas" and "[Press Start]" will disappear. All the CCC does is clear any and all temp and corrupted files that FO: NV generates. This will temp fix all except the absolute worst Frame-Rate issues. Edited April 27, 2013 by Terminator Fixed typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobreak Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) ^Good advice^ Also I always save often, and in a new save file every time - this can significantly reduce save file corruption, especially if you turn off all autosaves which is only recommended if you stick rigidly to a 'save often' regime. Another thing I always do is as soon as I detect any lag whatsoever, I will save (in a fresh save file) and restart the game, clearing the cache as I do that - usually the game will then be good for another few hours of clean, smooth play - even in troubled areas. I realise that what works for some may not work for others, but these tips can help reduce the frustrations with what is otherwise one of the best role players ever...imo (Btw, I have had the vanilla UK version since release, with all the DD DLC, and by following these rules, I've had no significant problems recently - my save file is currently greater than 16MB) Edited May 7, 2013 by bongobreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs_85 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Fired this up last night thinking about getting the last 2 Trophies I need... lagged, froze... turned off I love Fallout too, the DLC is the worst for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DORITOSHunterXD Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It's such a shame. I would really love to plat this.... (sigh) oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's such a shame. I would really love to plat this.... (sigh) oh well I just started it last night and played it a couple of hours and ran into no issues. Of course I still got a long way to go, so I'll see how well it holds up there. I do plan on deleting my save files every once in awhile though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figma Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I also played it just last night and it was better than few years ago when i last played it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I still haven't experience any lagging yet, but I'm starting to run into a freezing problem. Twice within the last 5 minutes it's froze on me and I've had to restart my PS3. Now I'm done with it for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpossX Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's always going to lag. It's how the game was developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing you can do is leave the DLCs for another playthrough then focus purely on them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PainOfDemise Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 After playing for awhile, the only lagging I've been experiencing is right around and in the strip, and it's some awful lag. Move stop, move stop, ugh. Almost makes me want to say screw this game, considering a good amount of quests and the main story takes place at the strip, I'm guessing.

NY_Madness Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Luckily I haven't experienced too much lag, only inside the casinos does the game lag for me, and it lags really bad so I have to restart the game to get rid of it. I don't see how its possible to leave the DLC for another playthrough because you can't do playthrough+ and you need to be high level for some of these DLCs.

Terminator Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) The max you need to be is 35 if I remember right so here's what I'd do: 1: Start a new game 2: Earn enough XP to start the Lowest level DLC (Dead Money if I remember right) but save before you start and backup that save somewhere. 3: Finish the DLC then reload the save you made earlier. 4: Continue the game as normal until you have enough XP to start the Next DLC 5: Repeat steps 2-4 until you have all the DLC trophies. .

bongobreak Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Here are some tips that could help reduce lag: Lower the volume and turn off the radio - (a known resource hog) Only have one companion if you can - (companions sap your systems resources too) Remove any misc. items you see by placing them into a dead thing, or selling them - (this removes all the data associated with that item from the game when inventories are reset, or when the dead thing disappears) Install an SSD. The last point is a drastic one, and expensive too, but would certainly significantly speed up your system - personally I wouldn't go to all that expense just for one game. If you combine the first 3 points with clearing the cache (posted elsewhere on this board) and saving with a fresh save file everytime, then maybe it could help reduce the likelihood of slow downs/lag, although as your save file gets beyond ~10mb it's likely to be inevitable at some points. Hope this helps someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaPanther Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Bethesda and Obsidian should be ASHAMED of themselves. There is no excuse for this game. It lags way too much, boots me out the game. No excuse for them releasing a half finished product onto the market. Nintendo NEVER would release a game with this many bugs and these developers should be ashamed cause they have a big development team and they basically copy and pasted from Fallout 3 so you'd think by now they'd figure out the problems with the system and make the glitches uncommon but no they managed to make MORE LAGGY GLITCHY GAMEPLAY. Trade your copy of New Vegas in and just play Fallout 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikoe Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Damn, hoping this would be fixed. Brilliant game but the fps problems on lonesome road and when youre over 10mb is the worst. Made it unplayable for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfree7 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Made a mistake a few years ago. Got one trophy and turned it off. Now I butt............ Will work on cleaning it up some but do not care to go for plat. The clean up journey continues. Free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Winged Joker Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This must be one of the games I've played the most this generation. Hundreds of hours on my X360 flew by thanks to this game. Then I tried the PS3 version some months ago, and quickly understood all the complaints about it. It's a real shame at two levels. Firstly, no game should be released with so many bugs (and if so, developers' top priority should be fixing them right away). And secondly, of all the games that could have been this poorly presented, I feel sincerely sad it had to be Fallout: New Vegas. Because it's an incredible game a lot of people will miss due to this, and I can't blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric-B14 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 So far I've only played the main game, Dead Money and Honest Hearts and its only lagged a few times in one of the casinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiL Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have the G.O.T.Y edition after spending 80 hours in the main game, I moved onto the DLC and the frame rate would drop so bad and crash the game about every 20 minutes. In the end I had to start new saves to do the DLC trophies. This is still one of my favorite games, I am a PlayStation fan boy but I admit this game is best played on PC, I don't have the greatest computer but still played the G.O.T.Y edition on it with all settings maxed out for 120 hours without any lag at all and only crashed 2 times.

DaddyGamer Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I have played a fair amount of Bethesda's games on the PS3 (FO3, oblivion, skyrim, etc) and this game was the worst performing title, by far. I played the GOTY edition (disc), multiple freezes, system crashes, and the frame rate slow down/lag was beyond obnoxious towards the end of the game, so much so that it became a chore to finish/plat. I enjoyed FO3 loads more than this, i also played the GOTY edition on that one and did not have even a quarter of the issues with that game as I did with NV. It really soured the experience and that is what will stand out in the front of my mind whenever i think about this game. Not Bethesda's best work by a mile.
