Also Rocks are no longer overlapping. - Now Patrick correctly talks about the invasion of different towns. - Killing a child in the random encounter will affect your karma and Childkiller status now. - Enemies in random encounters now don't carry weapons, they can't use. Localization bugs: - Those fixes are for the Russian language only and neither mentioned nor applied here. Removed incorrect fixes: Hub: - After Decker's death his active quests will be crossed out in PIPboy. - Mrs. Stapleton no longer has infinite quantity of books. Necropolis: - Now you can talk about the quest with Set at any time. Random encounters: - Lance the scout for Shady Shads can be encountered as an alive character. Not as a dead body only. Useless fixes (for possible future mods): - Experience gain is reported for beating Zax at chess. Also cannot repeatedly access the mainframe for unlimited experience. Engine bugs, can't be fixed by now: - Cheating with the 'A' key. - Died of radiation sickness for no apparent reason while resting in the Brotherhood. - Playing chess with Zax (checks don't generate criticals). - Caravans: Going back and forth will take 2-3 days from the time limit, but may take up to 20 days as measured; - Necropolis: Going to the Military Base takes 2 weeks according to the time limit and 4 weeks according to the calendar. - MacRae is supposed to give you +1 Melee Damage and +5% Damage Resistance, but he doesn't (engine disallows modifying derived stats from scripts). - Saving the game near an irritable person and loading can cause them to attack "unprovoked". Most map bugs can't be fixed now (we don't have a normal map editor). Not bugs: - Disarm Traps for the Facility: This pops up once you deactivate the robots from Zax. There's no way of getting it crossed out. -- It is not bug. Robots deactivation turns on laser and gas traps on level 1. If you reactivate robots, traps will be deactivated and quest will disappear. It may be considered as missed quest. - IN<4: Although Talus will know if you rescued the prisoner, you can't get the reward or the xp unless you get smart. -- Definitely not a bug. Talus doesn't tolerate "chem users", his script and dialogue clearly state it. So, this cannot be changed in a patch.
