A list of known issues, not including minor details like grammatical errors in NPC dialogues. For a more complete list of reported issues, see the forum here
Barter
When using the trade function to Barter directly between characters, Hidden Mode can crash game client.Should be fixed
Bases
- Sometimes a new faction leader gets auto-demoted to Recruit after building a new base
Caravans
- Some Caravans have been known to stop suddenly, throwing all player characters to map, especially between Hub and Gunrunners
Encounters
- Often times, the NPC groups that you actually find in random encounters are not the NPC groups indicated by the encounter prompt
- Looting a dead NPC often moves the corpse to an adjacent hex, resulting in loot failure/malfunction
Interface
- Audio chime often not heard on non-SE forced encounters - new issue as of last update
- In the past, the absence of the forced encounter audio chime always meant you found a Special Encounter
- Running client in Full-Screen mode sometimes has resolution issues, including world map functionality
Game client crashes sometimes when dropping items one-by-one on ground from character inventory.- If you die, for example from Poison, while driving a vehicle on the Worldmap, you will need GM assistance to respawn
- Clicking Quests in Pip-Boy shows info for wrong quest Read this for a temporary fix
- Repair Timer is triggered during a Junktown quest, which prevents Crafting
Items
- Hypo does not work with "Take All", as when found in a footlocker and you use that button to take all contents in the footlocker
- Flint does not work with Control+G "grab all"
- There are two in-game items with brahmin hide inventory image, but the lessor-known one looks correct on ground too
- If you find a stack of multiple Stimpak blueprints, they might only work if used from their stack, and might not work individually if removed from their stack
Maps
- Cannot build Tents in zone 14:18 or in zone 20:30
- Stand in front of the rear wheel of a Cockroach car, and the wheel appears to be in front of you
- Multiple places where characters can run behind walls and into/thru solid rock (to be reported here)
- Multiple places in towns where active Scavenging nodes are blocked - nobody can scavenge them even though we get the Tool icon overhead
Mechanics
- Characters log out in towns and don't disappear after the usual 3 minutes
- Repetitive mining in a quarry can lead to a lot of client crashes with a Windows-style error box. No choice but to close box, close game client and re-launch
Miscellaneous
- Player Farms are sometimes appearing on top of a town, like Redding
- Same with some quest locations, like the robot tent in the main quest
Dialogue error with Rancher at Player Farms.Settlers at Player Farms do not "unlock" and have no dialogue to do so even after unlocking the church.- Grab-All (Control+G) does not work on Broc/Xander in Lander's Point
- Grab-All (Control+G) does not work on Flint
- No Brahmin Dung in the pen at Vault City, apparently due to constipated Brahmin there
- When poisoned, use an Antidote and get the text message, "You gained 30 Current Poison Level" even though your Current Poison Level has reduced; message seems backwards
NPC Companion Followers
- These Followers have been known to disappear and/or become very hard/impossible to find
- When a companion dies, the players should expect a delay in finding them anyway. You might need to search multiple tents/bases
- When a companion dies in the NPC caravan encounter where also the Caravan Leader dies, the companion is lost forever.
- When choosing a base as meet-up point, use the "SAY" button to type the name of the specific base (not the name of the faction), and do not expect a confirmation
- Young Adventurers come back even after using permanent removal option
Other NPCs
- Claire the Tanner is a man, and Claire can be a man's name, but in-game desc does not match
Ronnie of the Wasteland Band is usually stuck since S3 began. Hidden behind bar and won't move- Dialogue with T-Ray about the Rot Gut Engine Upgrade suggests your vehicle needs to be in his garage first. Wording needs to be altered for clarification
Quests
- A Tent in the Wasteland locations stay on worldmap after completion, and persist for months (years?)
- Hippocratic Oath allows examination of only 2 of Frier's children, but quest status in Pip-Boy points to more
- No way to get Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator anymore - might be since Science/Repair caps were changed to 125
- Fuzzy Painting for Risto still does not work after 10? years
- Okay, might be working now, but item was changed from painting to some semi-rare item nobody will ever provide, so might still need to be fixed to work with painting (or other normal item)
- Blood-Soaked Heroes: The main quest only loads to your Pip-Boy after Cira is shot, so if you cancel dialogue with Cira before she gets shot, and exit to The World map and re-enter, the farm family's tent is back, Cira and her dogs are gone, and you apparently have no way to start the main quest
- Investigate a hidden bunker near Necropolis can get into an "error" state, and become unrecoverable
- Day of the Wanderer: possibly each quest location in this quest-line is broken as the relevant NPCs usually don't spawn
- Kill the Basement Rats: no spore plants in cave - can't kill, can't finish
- BoS quest-line leads to a large mutant camp, but the boss mutant is no longer there, thus preventing quest-line progression to the "Alpha Bunker" and beyond.
Turn-Based Activities
- Combat gets "stuck" in some quests if done in Turn-Based mode, and can take a painfully long to time to complete. Better to use Real-Time
- Caves can also be a problem in TB
