Fallout: New Vegas Viewmodel Errors

Hello all,

In Fallout: New Vegas, suddenly and for no apparent reason, the viewmodel of my gun will begin acting up, performing such stunts as jerking high above my field of view and adjust my aim accordingly, sending my bullets far off target, jumping slightly too high and to the left, obscuring my screen, and occasionally vanishing entirely, causing my bullets to emanate mysteriously from a point about 5m in front of me on the floor.

It used to happen only when I scoped while in sneak mode, but now it happens randomly, and usually within 5 minutes of me starting the game. If I try to ignore it, it gradually worsens, eventually leaving my gun arm scrolling up and down the screen, sometimes vanishing entirely only to zoom laterally across my field of vision at high speed a second later. The most annoying part of it is it changes my aim too, making aiming a futile exercise.
This happens with all weapons, even melee/unarmed weapons and grenades, though it seems to be less severe with non-gun weaponry.

I’ve scoured multiple internet forums for some way to fix it, but I’ve found nothing, and more annoyingly, I seem to be the only person experiencing this problem.

If anyone has any idea on how to go about fixing this, please help me out, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Shameless self-bump.

No idea. Try asking here:

Is something like this happening to you? If not then there are a lotta bugs on that page I posted. Concerning Fallout the Vault Wiki is very useful in general.
Maybe you can find some way to fix your bug there.
i suggest you start by looking if this “true iron sights” option is enabled. I never quite realized it was there but you might find it somewhere in the graphics options.

Also, I agree to the previous post. The nexus is awesome.

Here you may find an unofficial patch. Use the search option. You may need an account to download things there. That aside, there are some truly epic mods for the fallout series. If you want to know how to mod the game, send pm to me or search for tutorials on that page. Some authors were so kind as to post some useful advise
Also, first post —> hi

I have true iron sights disabled, but I have already tried re-enabling it and it does nothing towards fixing the issue. I’ll have a look on New Vegas Nexus for some sort of unofficial patch. Thanks.

Is this on console or pc? I have the console version and it is REALLY glitchy. However it is known to be glitchy but they did release updates to fix it a while ago.

The only bug I noticed on my pc is the eyeballs floating beside the dog…

PC. I’ve had so many glitches with this game. I’ve played more than 90 hours of it, but never finished a file.

Update the game? that was fixed a while ago. Try finding an update for your cracked new vegas(;
