Wait till they release another 20 gigs update 6 months later to fix this
Bethesda gonna’ Bethesda.
Every update breaks mods. They never claimed to be changing anything. And the biggest reason for the update was to offer a performance mode on consoles while integrating CClub content.
The only problem I have with it is that CClub just doesn’t work. They did maintenance on the service for hours just for people to not be able to download anything from it. Bethesda really knows how to fumble the bag every time.
This update really only sounded exciting for console players due to set graphics settings. I’m surprised pc players were expecting big changes with bethesdas history.
Guys every update breaks mods. Why are we making something out of nothing? Not everything is some reason to get up in arms. Its a patch with some minor updates. Its 14 gigs because they had to overwrite those assets. Thats not abnormal for Bethesda games either. This is expected.
Also “”none of the minor bug fixes or added Creation Club content seem to justify the extent of the disruption from this update.”
What disruption? It was a nearly dead game. Modders are not Bethesdas employees. We are supposed to be upset they updated their game and people who have nothing to do with them were “disrupted?” Is this veiled reeing over the London project?
Stardew just got an update.. the entire modding community has to redo everything now. Same with Rimworld. This is the norm in moddable games.
No.. Shit? it’s a graphics update for consoles and bug fixes?
Every update breaks mods, that shouldnt even be a headline
Still crashes randomly if you have a GeForce 20xx or another RTX card, which is a known issue for many years now. And even if it doesn’t crash, the load times between areas is INSANLY long if you have a somewhat powerfull PC. But the worst about it is that nobody is suprised.
Did people think this wasn’t going to break mods? Has there ever been an update to a Bethesda game that didn’t break mods?
How is it on PS5?
I was reading patch notes and was wondering “is that it” lol, literally nothing has changed.
If I play again I was gonna start over from the beginning anyway.
This update is for a very specific demographic.
If you’re a vanilla player on console, go for the update. If you’re playing with mods you consider essential for your Fallout 4 experience and don’t think 60fps is worth sacrificing your mods, don’t update.
PC deff should not update, especially thise with modded playthroughs
Every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa.
Anybody know if the 1440p setting on PC works?
Game runs amazingly on series X. I’m loving the update!
I just want to know if it still fucking crashes when I boot it up on PS5 with the expansions.
Are animations still tied to refresh rate
Wait.
Why wouldn’t it break modded saves? Are pc gamers under the impression it wouldn’t?
All it did was ruin the fallout London release date
All I care about is increased frame rate on console. I like many others started a new F4 campaign but the gameplay feels so dated it’s so hard to aim and fight, etc
Free update and content btw
If I’m not mistaken it’s supposed to have better compatibility with dlc for ps5. Prior to the update I was unable to play the game with any dlc installed. The game would crash every time I tried to play it. I’ll be able to confirm that later tonight, in my case at least.
As a console player, just hope it fixes every DLC asset skin back to normal from it being purple.
I mean… almost every update breaks mods so we shouldn’t be acting like this is some big crime. People who mod like me just take this with the territory and accept it as a risk.
As far as what it changes, I wouldn’t know but it doesn’t sound like a lot except for some extra creation club content.
Everybody excited because of the tv show, but this is the Bethesda we all know and love!
I finally got into my first Fallout game ever last week after hype from friends. I’ve always been a huge Elder Scrolls fan and loved Starfield too, so it was a no brainer that I would like Fallout too. I’m not sure why I didn’t think to try any sooner.
I have an ultrawide monitor so when I got into Fallout 4 I just downloaded a mod to fix the resolution. It’s the only mod I have and I was a little disappointed that it would disable my achievements. Hearing that their fix didn’t even scale the UI is…embarrassing lol. That’s such an obvious thing. I’ll be disabling auto-updates for sure.
What’s up with PC Gamer shitting on Bethesda every article
I fucking ruined this game for myself with console commands and mods. I’m excited for a fresh experience
I assume those shocked by mods breaking have never nodded a game before…
Before this update I couldn’t play Fallout 4 with full DLC on my PS5. That was 100% what I expected it to change, and nothing else. Anything beyond that was a bonus for an almost 10 year old game.
I don’t even use mods but even I know that updates, especially of this kind will “break” the mods. How’s this *news*?
It’s bonkers how people are still supporting bethesda after all the crap they’ve done and trashy release after trashy release since they finished morrowind.
How about making a new fucking game for a change?
Still only getting 60 fps is a fucking joke.
Honestly I turned off my updates bc I knew the update would break my mods and I just started a new play through due to the show, and I wanted to enjoy my game.
Just Bethesda things
We console gamers are happy at least.
Typical Bethesda.
Classic Bethesda. Create flawed games and rely on the mod community to make the games enjoyable and then fuck them down the road
classic Bethesda
So a Bethesda patch
Oh cool, it wasn’t enough for Bethesda to do that with Skyrim and it’s creation club last december now they’re doing it with FO4. I don’t understand why they keep dropping these updates for single player games that have been out for a long time that seem to serve no other purpose other than fucking over games with mods installed. 4 years from now they’ll probably drop an update for Starfield that makes it unplayable for the all of 10 people still playing it.
