Patch 1.5.158 broke my game.

thanks for the update doode! at least I'm not the only one that has the problem with the robots. I don't understand why the Rad X is not working

 

Just been looking in the game settings.

There is actually an option to turn off the icons on the HUD.

This should get rid of the annoying pill icon.

The setting says 'Show Active Effects on HUD'

You can set it to 'All', 'Detrimental' or 'Disabled'

I'm assuming detrimental will only show the red icons. So if molerat icon is green you could try that setting.

But if detrimental doesn't work just put it on disabled.

 

hey dude thanks for the tip I'll check it out next time I boot up Fallout. I'll report back here and when I do. thanks again I don't even think I even seen that option before. Maybe they just added it with this last patch?

 

okay I had to put it on the disable completely because that other two options would not remove the icon. but at least the icon is gone now so it's not annoying anymore. it still shows up in the Pip-Boy menu but I don't care about that because I very
seldom go to that page on the pip boy itself! as far as the robots as vendors I've noticed now since I put them as vendors they are bringing in money/caps to my workshop workbench. at least that part works but you still can't buy anything from them or sell
anything to them. so it is still basically pointless, they should still work on that. I don't understand why they release this update and claimed they fixed it when they clearly didn't.

 

I'm sure they used to face the wrong way when behind the vendor stand and now they face forward.

That and the fact they bring in caps is probably all the fixed. They should have been more specific on what they fixed in the patch notes.

As usual Bethesda are silent on the issue when the problem was mentioned in the Bethesda.net forums.

 

Oh, I know that to be a fact because when the vault 111 door got broken with their january updatewhich literally broke the game because you can't go back in Vault 111 anymore there's a black Dome over the top of it, no matter how much I try to explain it
to the support guy he kept saying it was a one time isolated incident. meaning I was the only one that had the problem and they weren't going to deal with it. But on their forums a few people were having the same issue not with Xbox but PlayStation and pc
users as well. and even videos on YouTube about it. so I wrote back to him with links to the Post in their own forum about the issue and links to the various YouTube videos, he commented back saying thank you and that was last I heard from it and that was
since January. My vault is still broken and I was never able to go back into it since. only goes to show you they dont bother to read their own forums.

 

Wow you do have a lot of problems with your game.

The vault door still works for me. I have to press the button in that caravan first but it still works.

Problem with the patches for Bethesda games is they are not always retroactive.

They only prevent problems from happening rather than fixing them.

In one of my older characters I still can't hire preston garvey as a follower even though it was fixed in the patch. Seems the patch only prevents the bug.

 

I hear you dude and I agree about the patches only prevents not actually fixes. yeah it was funny because back in January when they released a patch all of sudden the Vault 111 end up having a Black Dome over top of it with the elevator broken. I tried
all my game saves that I did after the Patch and I was at level 85 and had already completed the game by then, they all had the Black Dome. at that time I already had the cryogun So I went back to an early early early save when I was only level 50 where I
saved it to do the multiple endings did not pick up the cryo gun during those old saves, there was NO Dome over the vault but I was not going to go back that far back. but just for testing purposes I did I loaded the old game saves and went to the elevator
into the vault grab the cryo gun came back out fast travel to a Faraway place and came back the Vault was broken Dome was there. so I reloaded it again went into the elevator but this time I did not grab the cryogun thinking that was the issue and came back
up the elevator just walk to sanctuary thinking maybe the fast traveling was causing it, turned around walked back to the vault and guess what? The Dome was there elevator broken. So I started a new game from scratch just to test after I left the elevator
from coming out of the Vault I walk to sanctuary turned around looked up on the hill and bingo the Dome was there again. So it's something that definitely told me it was the patch issue because I reinstalled my game twice during that crap. and each time it
makes me get the patch so that told me. It took me months to get it through their heads what was going on because they kept saying it was just an isolated incident. until I showed them links to their own Forum with people posting about it and links to videos
on YouTube about it. so shortly after all that complaining to them they had a new patch out, it was a small patch no release notes and the Dome is still not fixed. Apparently that patch was only to prevent it happening to other people. like you said.
