Huge Lagging Issue

Ahh, you gotta love this little guy

I'm not sure why they never fixed that...I haven't used hotkeys for the longest time but I hate going back to the pip-boy every time I need to heal (slightly better with auto-stimpaks).

Ya, it was the first time I ever experienced that. I actually thought for a moment I wouldn't be able to play using the hotkeys anymore.

i got really bad lag in OWB but i havent had it so far in LR.. i have not downloaded the GRA pack yet so that might be it home they patch it!! btw my save is at 11MB...

So it was as I feared: I spend six hours today doing the Gunrunners' challenges... and I only got to the one star and two star challenges. The game crashed about nine times and started lagging so badly I had to restart another four times. It's insane. I have to make a new save every time I enter a new area, just so I won't lose gameplay.

I hope to wrap up the three star challenges tomorrow and then uninstall this crappily designed game and never ever play it again. Don't get me wrong, the game itself is amazing, but the buggy Fallout 3 engine is should never have been used for another Fallout. Once your save file goes over 10MB, you're in for hell.

welcome aboard.

i on the other hand will wait until i have the desire to play it again to actually do those challenges.

i'm no sure if this only happened with me but, sometimes when i switch weapons that are assigned as hot-key, the weapon i'm holding doesn't get changed but instead it reload the gun and remove all the ammo for it ( around 2000 ammo ) and whenever i check at the pip-boy it says i have the ammo but when i change back to the gun it says 0 again and doesn't let me reolad.

so i had to change via pip-boy most of the time.

Something is really wrong...even my new file is having some major lag issues but it seems artificial somehow - when I go into a menu, it works fine.

Edit: fixed by exited the game back to the XMB and then reloading.

And I still haven't finished the DLC. Got all my challenges now, though. The three 3 Star Challenges took me almost three hours to complete, because of all the freezing and crashing the game did. Especially the robot Challenge, where you have to go outside, wait for 72 hours for a respawn and then go inside again... it would lock up every time I went outside or inside. So damn frustrating when you know you could do this challenge in 10 minutes if the game actually worked.

Now I have 3000 points of damage left to do with unique weapons and I'm finally done with this horrendously designed game engine.

I had to travel all over the map to find Enough NCR Officers for the Bear Challenge as there are loads that don't count ! For some reason several of the Kill challenges generate severe lag when you start killing the required targets.

Absolutely true.

And I actually needed to check the Fallout Wikia to find places where named NCR officers are. I had already cleared out all the NCR stations (two named officers per station) and the Mojave Outpost, but after that, I was afraid I only had the Embassy at the Strip left... and at that time, the counter was stuck at 12. Tried the Hoover Dam, but all I found were soldiers and engineers.

Of course, i forgot Camp McCarran, where at least three named officers are to be found (I stopped looking after getting kill number 15). Unfortunately, Camp McCarran is among the laggiest locations in the game for me, even before I finished the main quest months ago, so that required a reboot or three.
