Fallout 3 bugs

List all known Fallout 3 bugs here, to help other players cope with them and hopefully to help the developers fix them.

All platforms

 * Missing head/face in haircut screen - using the robot in the Megaton house to change appearance, you can still make the change in appearance, but you cannot preview what the change will look like because your face is missing

PC

 * Disk unable to be read, viewed or otherwise seen as media on some DVD drives such as a Sony DRU-720A.
 * Game crashing when "New Game" is pressed in the main menu (related to ffdshow - adding fallout3.exe to the exception list off directshow audio/video apparently fixes this).
 * Game crashing when "Play" is pressed in the launcher splash screen.
 * Memory leak related to excess processes, on-board sound card, and/or SLI.
 * VATS - related severe performance issues.
 * Game sometimes crashes on exiting with a send/don't send error report.
 * Player stuck unable to move, hud also missing.

PlayStation 3

 * Slow or Jerky Movement while in The Vault. (akin to Lag in an Online game), might be fixed by rebooting your PS3
 * Graphic Glitch - Officer at Birthday Scene has left eye that stretches out for the entire viewable screen and follows head / eye movement
 * Game freezes during GOAT exam, may be circumvented by saving and reloading.
 * Messenger bug - game freezes or pauses every time a friend comes online or sends you a message. Current workaround is to disable notifications in the xmb.
 * Unable to proceed past the book when you are a baby. Fathers leg gets glitched into door.
 * At the birthday scene, the door in the back opens up after some dialogue, and if you go through, you will be glitched to another part of the vault, with no way back to the birthday scene
 * Jefferson Memorial Freeze - While traveling or approaching the Jefferson memorial during main quest the PS3 freezes.

Xbox 360

 * It is possible to get "stuck" between rocks with no way of escaping (jumping, crouching, etc.)
