Fallout 3 patch 1.1 causing problems on PS3?

Fallout 3 - Image 1Some save game problems have been reportedly introduced by the Fallout 3 1.1 patch that was released a while back. The problems have supposedly been happening most often on the PS3.

According to The Gaming Vault, important keys and other items have gone missing from save games on random occasions. The chances of freezing after loading an area has also reportedly increased.

There have also been instances where old save files made before the patch was installed won't allow players to save as the Save option on the start screen has been darkened. The recommended workaround so far is to delete the patch from the Game Data Utility and running the game without installing the patch.

Now, I have the PC version myself so I've never had the inclination to get the PS3 version, so I have to ask the PS3 gamers out there: have you ever encountered these issues?

I'm curious as to why this is now posted when the patch has been out for awhile now.

Reports must be coming in a lot now - or something like that.



I havn't noticed things like that - but then again havn't played much since I got the patch. Honestly I got the patch for the trophies but already went through the game 3 times before that... so I'm busy with other titles before I delve back into the world of fallout3.

It hasn't created any problems for me, but then it hasn't fixed any either. I can't get into Tenpenny Tower as my PS3 freezes up when its just about finished loading the lobby. All my stuff is stashed up there so its pretty stupid

bought the game on launch... finished the darn things... then when the patch was released played it again to get the trophies, i'm playing it more thoroughly now than i did before (trophies will do that)..



had a couple of loading errors (not more than 5 in my entire play counting both times) but it gets fixed again after a restart... still playing it and haven't had a single incident in the last10 hours or so of gameplay.



i'm loving the patch (not only because of the trophies) cause it took away the delays due to message/friend alerts.

» Really? Save Problems?

They are having save problems? You'd think they would have innovated the one thing that was vital to Fallout. Updates not messing up saves.
