Joker-Kun890 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Is there any benefit in playing through this with the vanilla version and then using the UE for the DLC? Or do they both have the same issues? OP recommended doing that, but someone above said that both versions are just as bad. Im getting rid of some doubles and have both vanilla and UE of this.

Eblait Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Damn, I have a chance of buying this used and I really want to go for it, but if it's that unplayable, I might not get it. Back when I played vanilla FO3 on my old account, I had similar issues with crashes and low framerates, but I managed to finish the game. I recently picked up a copy of the GOTY edition, but I haven't tested it yet. I think I'll bite the bullet and do a "humble traveler" run and just keep essential items, I guess lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Guess I should have looked around here a bit...bought the Ultimate Edition a few weeks back. I held off on buying this game for so long because Fallout 3 and Skyrim were just hard to enjoy on the PS3 back in the day...the bugs these versions had are why I don't have an affinity and appreciation of those games like a lot of people do...and i just decided that I didn't want to go through that again with New Vegas. But over the years I've just heard time and time again how great NV is compared to FO3 and FO4 (I'm one of the oddballs that prefers FO4), so I finally just decided to get it and figured getting all the DLC with it made the most sense. I figured, while the bugs in FO3 and Skyrim were annoying...I would just put up with them for NV, just to get the experience. But damn....if it's even worse off than FO3 and Skyrim to the point where people are saying it's unplayable, maybe I'll just keep it in my collection and never actually touch it. Luckily I didn't pay much for it ($11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometowner Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Remember it was happening to me too, and the more you explore the more it hard to play. I managed to plat by dividing my progress into two different save files, being the second-speed run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milanbarca82 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yikes! And to think I was this close to buy this edition to save some money on DLCs. So, is the vanilla version + separate DLCs the way to go to play this game on PS3? What would be the optimal roadmap to 100% this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInHell Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Anyone know how it plays on PS Now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaluguin Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 The lag in the Old World Blues DLC is horrible. And it happens from the very beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slender_adrian Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hey if you manage to get this game you must know that the performance is really poor, I bought this game a few years ago and stop playing it because it crashed a freaking lot, this game curses you for playing the game, the bigger the save file is, the bigger the framedrop you will get, making it a pain to 100% complete. Its a shame really, this game is broken and you will not experience all this game has to offer because of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Null_Spectre Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So I decided to reinstall Fallout New Vegas UE on my Super Slim PS3 after feeling nostalgic and clean up the last of the trophies, trouble is during the installation it stalls out every time at 80% It's bizarre but reading online this game has serious issues with the Super Slim model and the last I played this game without serious issues was on the a Slim model. I don't have another HDD or SSD at hand to test incase it's more a hard drive issue than the PS3 itself but considering borrowing a slim model and seeing how I fair. It's also funny how this game got past Sony's QA team and didn't get any serious backlash like CP 2077 did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish it first, and make sure you keep few save files untouched from early to mid game. Do not install any dlc before you get a platinum(with the exception of gun runners arsenal), then do only one at a time. Load that early save for dlc if you have frame rate problems. That way it would be less miserable experience. Edited April 15, 2021 by dimonemt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tenno777 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I have been playing the ultimate edition, and the problems I have are the framerate and the slowdown once you play the game for around two-hour hours. I had made saves just in case the game crashes/freezes, or just be stuck on the death screen on the Dead Money DLC (I had encountered that bug personally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
