Thanks - downloading now! :)

EDIT: Looks like it's being hammered! Initial connection was over 600kB/s but it's dropping fast! Down to 24 kB/s and dropping! Might leave it until the morning if it gets much slower!

EDIT 2: Frozen at 3.8MB - hasn't budged, hence the fast dropping average. Down to 8 kB/s so I think I'll try again tomorrow! :)

I have allready installed this patch,But it does not seem to fix my bug where it's ok for a few minutes then the frame rate drops from 60fps to about 10-20fps
Im starting to hate pc gaming at the moment (Used to love it) But with fallout 3 GTA 4 bioshock(Sometimes that frame rate is the same as FO3) I know i should not say this,But im thinking about buying another 360 instead of upgrading my PC (Which i dont think i really need to yet!)
But it's just a shame,Dont get me wrong i love the PC for games,It just when they run like this thats all lol

My spec if anyone wants to know

AMD 64 X2 6000
8800gt 512MB OC
3gig ram

Have a look around the bethseda forum for people with similar hardware to yourselves before installing this patch. It seems it's caused far more problems than it has fixed.

And definately back up your saved games before installing it if you must, save games seem to be getting messed up also.
 
After reading the forums it seems that peoples saves were lost because everyone read that the patch had come out before there were links available for it on the Bethesda site and the only way you could get the new patch was through Games for windows live. Now when this is enabled it uses a different folder for saves than when you don't enable and use it and this is the reason saves were lost it seems.

None the less just make sure you all backup anyway whichever way you are installing it :)

it could be overheating causing that
 
kinda late for the patch for people that bought this when it was released... completed this quite a while ago.
 
I patched manually rather than through GfWL and have had no problems so far, and I have aprx 40 mods/plugins installed. Altho FOSE mods don't work properly yet (that will need updating)

For those complaining about balance, etc...why not download some mods to fix it? It's well known that Bethesda make basic sandbox games that are ripe for modding to make them better, hence why I'd never buy their games on console. There is over 2,500 mods available at Fallout Nexus alone. Get in there and tailor the game how you like. My current Fallout 3 is tons better than the out of the box one.

I went from dual to quad (E2200 - Q6600).
changed nothing else (apart from disabling vsync in GTA4)
I can now run GTA4 maxed at 1680x1050 apart from textures, they're on medium.
I used to not be able to put any sliders above 30 without major slowdown.

The 360 is poo in comparison to pc's, it's better to make small upgrades
 
What a great game this was. I'm not really a RPG guy (apart from Knights of the Old Republic) but this was an incredible game. I've lost interest since completing it (as a goody) though. I started going back through as a baddy, blowing up Megaton etc., but it just doesn't hold the same interest. I've tried it with the cheats to see what weapons I missed. That was fun but again, can't make myself play back through it.
