Then I checked my inventory and saw I was holding that same item already, so I thought 'maybe the game is freaking when I already have one of these', so I drop mine on the ground and try to buy it again - success! So now I head to my personal hotel room in Novac to store some more of my items as I click the door to enter and the game 'loads' - the game hangs.

I tried the same thing a few times and every single time it would lock up as I did this. Like clockwork, any time I would try to purchase a '10 of Hearts - Lucky 38', the game would freeze. Today I tried to play a little and within the first two minutes I went to a traveling merchant to buy some goods and sell some stuff.

I've had somewhere in the vicinity of 10-15 crashes where the game completely locks the system up and has to be forcefully shut off and restarted.
