A Bethesda community manager recently revealed that the company is actively working on a patch for all three versions of Fallout 3. His statement, framed as a response on Bethesda’s official message board, was quite vague.
He told users, “We [Bethesda] are currently working on a patch for all three platforms. When I’ve got more details, I’ll let everyone know.” That means all of you sitting on a pile of pre-war books and Nuka-Colas that won’t count for mission goals are going to have to wait a bit longer. The same goes for all of you PlayStation 3 owners who may not enjoy some of the problems that you’re having specific to your platform.
If you’re not having any problems thus far, rejoice, but know that this patch won’t be able to solve a problem that our very own Conrad has with the game. After 100 hours of play, he points out that the ending could use a bit of fixing.
Have many of you experienced a problem? What would you like to see a patch handle?

The random freezing on the 360 version is my main concern. It's happened to me three times in just under 25 hours of play, so that was a little disheartening. I installed the game to my HD last night, so maybe that will be a possible solution.
My Xbox would still be on and everything just with no picture.
Just getting that out.
Now all the town does is stand by the junkyard and say "Are you going to fix the robots?" "He's going to show us how to fix the robots!" Over and over.
It's kinda creepy.
I had that same problem, but I loaded an older save file and instead chose to tell them I'll kill the mutants for them. 4 mutants show up. Just kill them and all it well.
Moral to the story. Save often and in many different slots.
However, all the food I have or pick up is now listed as giving "+0 rads" even though I still get the normal rad poisoning from it. It seemed to start about 4 quests from the end and I haven't tried re-loading a save from before that to see if it'll fix it, but its a pretty minor glitch.
Torpy patch pweese?
Sadly, I wish I had the forsight to make multiple saves. I didn't (afterwards I did)
Another bad issue I've had with the PS3 version is with the friends list. Everytime I have a friend log on or off the game will freeze for 5 seconds. Does that happen to anyone else?
I was so fed up and I was dying to play the game (it cost 100 dollars here in Australia) and I didn't want to have wasted my money, so I formatted my computer. After that, the game worked absolutely fine, all settings turned up to maximum. So if anyone has any problems starting the game, I recommend completely formatting your computer, that is, if you can be bothered going through all that backup stuff and re-installing windows.
- the freezing. Sometimes i can play for hours, sometimes i can play for 5 min, and it freezes. Once, i loaded a game after it froze and it had frozen again after 30 seconds.
- Make the dog incorporeal. Sometimes hes nearly too frustrating to have around, hes just always in the way. Heck, sometimes its actually bad, not just annoying(prevents you dodging/escaping, or even gets you stuck; i found a place you cant get out of if he follows you in).
Actually, the only buggy game I think I've ever had problems with was Force Unleashed.
...but there wasn't a single thing right with that game, so I'm not really complaining.
Glad for all the people subject to the bugs that they'll get their fix one day.
