Yes! Finally! The megapatch for Fallout: New Vegas we’ve all been desperately awaiting is now available for PlayStation 3 owners. For those playing on Steam or Xbox 360, the same patch is expected to go live early next week. Here are the so-called “top fixes”:
- Companions now show up as waypoints on the map
- Companions will always fast travel with you, unless told to wait or sent away
- Fix: DLC error/save corruption
- Fix: Entering the strip after Debt Collector causes crash and autosave corruption
- Fix: Using Mojave Express dropbox can cause DLC warnings
- Crafting menu now filters valid (bright) recipes to the top of the list
- Weathered pistol no longer glitches when applying mods
The fixes for specific quests and game mechanics/areas are listed on the Bethesda Blog. Basically, much of the content in New Vegas is being tweaked in some way. As someone who is about to do a Hardcore mode run, the mere promise of not having to un-glitch my companions every twenty minutes is overwhelming.
