Point Lookout bugs

Bugs and glitches/exploits in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

PC
Before arrival to PL, CTD after loading screen.

When meeting Jackson, one of his sentences does not match the subtitles at all. Though it does not harm the game it is slightly off putting.

Once the last mission of the main quest begins, a message saying "The Brain is unconscious" will randomly appear despite him being dead.

Xbox 360

 * After completing the main quest, a message saying "The Brain is unconscious" will randomly appear despite him being dead.


 * If you use the Double-Barrel Shotgun while in V.A.T.S and you have only 1 shotgun shell, you will be stuck in V.A.T.S and the gun will make a sound like its out of ammo, this happens to me all the time so make sure you have an even amount of rounds.


 * During the quest, The Dark Heart of Blackhall, if you opt to take the book to the Dunwich building, your quest marker will point to Springvale instead of Dunwich.


 * Water may become discolored due to a dithering glitch.


 * Ol' Painless Hunting Rifle disappears from inventory when reaching the Point Lookout locale.


 * Once Point Lookout is visited, the game is very prone to freezing


 * V.A.T.S freezing during mansion quest.


 * Problems with water texture in Capitol Wasteland and Point Lookout.


 * Since install of Point Lookout Mirelurks are not dead in the "healed" Water basin. Broken Steel - Compleated (May not be related directly to PL)

UPDATE: It seems Ghoul Ecology causes this increase. My weapons damage immediatly increased upon getting it on a new file. The Chinese Assault Rifle went from 30 damage to 52 damage right after getting it.
 * All weapons seem to have gotten an upgrade with Point Lookout. Eugene has increased from 110 damage (fully repaired, 100 Big Guns skill) to a whopping 260 at all times. It seems all automatic weapons are effected by this, so grab your Chinese Assault Rifles and go hunting!


 * If you are standing on the bridge to or on the Gambit, you may notice your feet sink into them. It is possible to fall into them, sometimes you simply are underwater, while others you are trapped "below" the water and must reload a previous save to escape.


 * After you see Mister Burke Blow up the Megaton Bomb (During the Punga Hallucinations), the game will freeze right after the loading screen. You will have to start at your last save.


 * Using the flamer on large natural gas swamp area causes the game to crash. Small swamp areas do nothing.

This editor noticed rendering difficulties on the boardwalk after exiting the warehouse building, possibly unrelated but "The Velvet Curtain" quest was active at the time. Large areas of black consumed the screen whilst facing south-west. Fixed when I finished "The Velvet Curtain".

Once you've killed the Tribals in Desmonds mansion he may freeze stopping you from playing on. He says "Help Me Take Out These Bastards, Whilst I Figure Out A Plan." But all of the enemies are dead, and you cannot proceed. Reloading to a point before you enter Point Lookout seems to fix this


 * Also when desmond asks you to help him defend aganst the last wave of tribals, the tribals may never come, another symptom of this glich is that desmond will be very unresponsive.


 * When entering and exiting a building a two minute or longer load time may occur.


 * The ferryman may not appear by on the ferry (happened on second visit to me), leaving you unable to return to Point Lookout.


 * After initiating the self-destruct protocol in the Chinese submarine and exiting the game freezes.


 * After Talking to Marguerite and retrieving the book for the "Black Heart of Blackhall" Quest, the holotape and the message on the wall do not appear, and she is nowhere to be found. she may have been killed on the way back to her tent.


 * Holotape in lighthouse doesn't register as received, and no message plays.
