FutureGuy

There was an update for Fallout yesterday...anyone know what it did?

I think I read about it before,

pretty sure its a higher cap on your Level and a couple of maps one is like a battlefield while one is A city that was fairly untouched by the war.

I think thats DLC to be released in March. It was a pretty fast update. I'm wondering was it just to fix glitches?

It was a patch before the DLC is released. It fixes a load of glitches in the game and crashing issues and a small new controll option on the VATS. There is a full list up if you can google it.

Badly needed IMO, the amount of weird glitches in this game is unreal. Haven't seen anything strange since the patch so it's working well so far

calex71

Don't know tbh, it just showed up recently. It only happens on boards for some reason.

Ah look, I just fixed it It was the settings on MGC.net

Its more fun with the glitches!! Nothing like watching people fall out of the sky to certain death for no reason at all, or just farming xp off asking an NPC the same question a hundred times over

120_Minutes

the only glitch i came across was the screen going corrupt when looking in a certain direction (and nearly always the direction i had to go for a quest) but it only happened twice, once in combat!
