Fallout New Vegas Xbox 360 patch fixed

A large patch for the 360 version of Fallout New Vegas is now fixed and can be safely downloaded, according to publisher Bethesda Softworks.

The 1.3 patch for the post-apocalypse RPG was released for the console earlier this week, but some players experienced system crashes and issues with loading save files when they installed it.

Bethesda issued a warning not to download the update until the situation was resolved.

Earlier this morning, an update on the game's official message boards said: "New 360 update is now available for the English version of the game, and with it, your saves should now load properly. When other versions become available, we'll let you know."

The Fallout New Vegas patch was released earlier this week for the PC version via Steam.
