Fallout: New Vegas Question

Anyone else have trouble loading maps after a few hours of play?

I've had to reboot my xbox after a few hours of gameplay. It seems that the areas take longer and longer to load the longer you play the game. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

This is due to the games nature. After hours of gameplay I can asume you've been to many locations and killed several people. Those bodies, items carried, chest looted, and various other factors of what you've done is being stored in what I figure is some kind of real time memory. So each time you go through a loading screen your Xbox is dealing with old information and all that new information. Saveing and going to my dashboard does tend speed up some loading times once this occurs. Turning off the console and letting it cool down is also effective and saves your machine.

    I get the same problem. I figured the game was causing my xbox to over heat or something. But yeah after a few straight hours of playing the game gets really laggy or when I go to a new area the game freezes at the loading screen. Annoying as all hell. Just make sure to save every few hours, just in case.

    Same to me. After a marathon of about 5-6 hours, it became unstable and incredibly unplayable.

    Simply restarting the Xbox was enough to solve this though.

    Yeah the cache fills up restarting your xbox is the best to clear it.
