So i completed all the main quests in junktown.Got rid of the skulz gang and killed gizmo and made it a safer place.
But i have this one weird glitch where if u go to the northern most part of junktown (where gizmo's place and the skum pitt are located.) the clock will immediately reset to 3 in the morning and all will be dark.Going back to some other part after that and the clock will work normally but will not reset to how it was before. Even if u made the transition to that part of the town at 8 in the morning. In fact it doesn't matter what time it is, when u step into that part, the clock resets to 3 a.m.Also this leads to a decrease of 1 day from my time limit of finding the water chip every time it happens. And there are guards standing outside of the skum pitt like when they were during the final fight with the skulz gang. Except that i already killed them and the guards had left. Its weird so i will not be visiting that part until after the water chip quest. Is anyone else having this? I didn't have this bug the first time i came to junktown.

That is the strangest thing i've heard happen to this game... I can't say I've ever experienced it. Does it happen every single time in every single game you run? Try starting a new game and recreating the problem there...

Well initially as i said, all was normal but then suddenly it started happening every single time i went to that place. Then i left junktown for good and haven't returned since, but i think i'll visit there and see if it happens again. Nothing like this has happened in any other town i've visited. I think the skulz gang quest must have glitched up which is why it was happening, although i completed the quest fine...guess i'll have to check again...

I'm remember that the same happen to me years ago, but that I loaded a previous saved game and all is ok again.

Elsewere this side of Junktown is buggy, sometime your teammates get stucked at the entry, near the Gizmo's sign, and usually after the Gizmo's fight, although Lars return to the city entry, each time that your return here, he is duplicated in Gizmo's casino.

Hmm now that u mention it, even i experienced my companion tycho getting stuck at the entrance whenever i got there. He just wouldn't move. Although dogmeat was fine.I did not have any issue of duplicating characters though.All was fine even after killing gizmo but now that i remember correctly, this all started after i eliminated the skulz game.The game is stuck at the same position as it was after the fight although the gang is gone.Unfortunately i don't have any previous saves, so can't load one :(

I tried applying the latest unofficial patch hoping it would fix it, but it was not compatible with my previous saves, so i couldn't load them! But anyways i don't have more quests in that part of town so might as well stay away, at least until after i get the water chip.

I got back to that part of junktown again after being out for a few days and it seems the bug is apparently gone. No more resetting clocks. Although there are still some guards stationary near the entrance of the skum pitt, but they're not a problem. Everything else is fine now..
