Also, I absolutely hated the game for not having an easy way of switching from melee to a ranged weapon or grenade. Pretty much ruined my favorite way of playing, as a sneaky ninja / terrorist. I mean, imagine going all stealth and then throwing grenades. Doesn't that make perfect sense? Anyway, it can't be done....

oh yes it can!

you can use a hotkey for weapons, clothes, drugs...

You blew my mind. This game is getting reinstalled. Right now. Bless you :)

that's what i'm here for.

have fun!

About two weeks ago I posted these two bugs....

1- Every time I enter the bath house at the Ultraluxe casino the game hard locks.

2- Entering the Gomorrah casino, I get no cut scene about giving up my weapons happens, my HUD display disappears, and I can’t move.

both of which requires a Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of

Well I just started playing the game again and thought I'd post some feedback on those bugs.

1- I literally "saved" my way out of the bath house. That is I'd move a few feet before the game locked, save, move a few feet more and saved until I finally got out of the bath house. After that, I was finally able to complete the "Beyond the beef" side quest.

Now.... here's the biggie for item 2...... (possible spoiler)

Once I got the platinum chip, and returned it to Mr. House, I'm now able to enter the Gomorrah casino without issue. That is I now get the cut scene to give up my weapons, and my hud no longer disappears.

So..... either do any tasks you might have at the Gomorrah casino "before" meeting Mr. House, or "after" completing The house always wins, l quest.

This seem like it might be some form of a scripting bug or error?

BTW.... If you've been to Camp McCarran and stumbled on the side quest The White Wash, that quest leads you to the Gomorrah casino. So that's one reason to go there when you first enter the strip.

Just an update. I am now fully back in the game.

Looks like Bethesda will be releasing a new update for the PC version soon....

Please note that once you've updated the game, you can confirm it's been installed by going to the Title Screen>Settings>Display. In the lower left corner you should see Version 1.2.0.310 in the lower left-hand corner.

It must have just released because I got a popup saying New Vegas was updating as I was replying to some post here.

Here's hoping some (most) of the issues are fixed as I'm still trying to finish the game.

I guess he decided to write a guide for GeForce.com to fill a void? I say that because when the game was first released, he stated that the tweaks were pretty much the same, indicating that no new guide would be forthcoming. With a sponsor like Nvidia at your door, well...

FYI....

For those looking to tweak Fallout: New Vegas....

Update: Tweaking Fallout: New Vegas is similar to tweaking Fallout 3, so see the Advanced Tweaking section of the Fallout 3 Tweak Guide. Note that tweaks which would normally go into the Fallout.ini file must be made in Fallout_default.ini found under the \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas directory.

I guess I read that wrong. Still nice of him to provide an updated version though.

Thanks
