Bethesda are already working on patches for Fallout: New Vegas, and have promised they’ll be out “as quickly as possible”.
“We are currently working on releasing patches/updates as quickly as possible for Fallout: New Vegas, for all platforms,” Pete Hines, Bethesda’s marketing bloke informed Kotaku.
“Announcements regarding the patches are forthcoming.”
If you’re playing the game on the PC and are having problems with an uncontrollable head-turning bug, apparently re-verifying your files via Steam will sort you out.
The official Bethesda site mentioned the problems with the game though has since removed the post. This is what they originally said:
“Unless you’ve been stuck in a Vault, you probably know that Fallout: New Vegas released today. We’re thrilled that so many people are enjoying the game, but we also realize there are a few issues that you guys have been reporting.
“We’ve had a number of folks contact us regarding the digital pre-order bonuses on PlayStation 3. This issue has now been resolved, and users should attempt to re-enter the codes to download their bonuses. If you still receive a ‘80023156’ error, you’ll need to wait 24 hours before entering the code again; at that point, you should be able to activate the bonus without issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.
“We’re also aware that some of you are reporting gameplay issues. Rest assured, we’ve already got top our top folks looking into this. Just this afternoon, we’ve released an automatic update for the PC that resolves quest and scripting problems, as well as issues with Steam Cloud and saved games.
“In addition to those updates, we’ve also released the official G.E.C.K. editor for the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas. You can download it from the Fallout G.E.C.K. page. The editor will also be available on Steam shortly. And if you’re in the mood to theme up your desktop, we’ve also rolled out some fresh New Vegas wallpapers.
“Last but not least, we’re working hard on updates for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of New Vegas. As soon as we have more details to share on those, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, we’ll continue to keep an eye on issues that are reported within the community.”
Fallout: New Vegas is out now on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in North America and will be out on Friday across Europe.
