The game crashes a LOT, and sometimes fails to even LOAD so it goes on an infinite "loading" screen. The game is buggy as hell, yet I am absolutely addicted to it.
I fucking love this game, but the engine is horrendously broken.

Look around on the New Vegas Nexus, there's probably something on there that'll stabilise it.

Bethesda's Fallout games are fun, but it's still sad how they're thrown together so sloppily with technologies recycled from Elder Scrolls games.

If only they'd use the Xray engine. WHich is also buggy but not quite as buggy.
