New Fallout 3 Patch in the Works

Fallout 3 has been on the shelves for a few weeks--and it's still selling well--but developer Bethesda isn't stopping its work on the post-apocalyptic RPG, as another patch for the game is on the way.

"We are currently working on a patch for all three platforms," wrote a Bethesda community manager on the studio's official forum, which ActionTrip noticed. Fallout 3 is available on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Other details on the patch, such as fixes or a release date, have not yet been made available. "When I've got more details, I'll let everyone know," promised the Bethesda representative.

Fallout 3 has been patched once on the PC, mostly to fix crashes, but the upcoming patch will be the first for console editions.

I am having issues installing the patch. Everytime I attempt to install, the game will launch. I then run task manager and and it shows that the patch is "not responding". Any suggestions?

Honestly, my only beef with Fallout 3 is the level cap. Why oh why? I didn't know about it til I reached level 20 and now my lockpick skill is about 25 points too low to open any "very hard" locks. As for "bugs and crashes" I haven't had many of the former nor any of the latter, because despite what the popular commercial says, I'm not a PC I'm a 360! All I want this Christmas is a higher level cap (or none at all). [Zoidberg] And perhaps some shellfish maybe? [/Zoidberg]

"Fallout 3 has been patched once on the PC, mostly to fix crashes"

Correction, mostly to fix a single crash which nobody cares about, the crashes continue and the game is still broken.

  It's only been out for a few weeks. : Wadmaasi
  - Exaggeration is what I do. But really, they said this at least 2 weeks ago. : Confrustrating
  - Wadmaasi, they indeed said it about 2 weeks ago. Also said it when the first patch came out. : coolbreezr

Will they make a patch so it doesn't "end"? That was kind of infuriating to me.
