First you obviously have to possess said tape, and then load it into your pipboy or terminal.

I've done that, I can fire up the game, I can move around, but I can't jump.

The game is pants. I've been exploring for 5 hours and it's all shooting. I spent more time talking to NPCs in Mad Max than this.

not sure if you are serious but maybe stop exploring and do quests

 

[Deathwish]

Managed to break some dialog routine.

This is in Diamond City and is part of a side-quest, so avoid unless you want it spoilt, kinda.

I am always wary of exploring too far as in the past with other games I have found and discarded or sold items etc that later turned out to be needed
as part of a quest. I am not even sure if the creatures and other NPC's scale with your character.
I don't know if i'm being over cautious as I will not be able to craft some items of furniture unless I do get the raw materials.

The desperation to prove its rubbish and flawed is baffling.

"Runs fine here"

And some people think 15 fps is "fine"

Define "fine"

Give some examples.

Heck why dont you go to that location I just told you about?
Then we can get it set in stone, oh and make sure its Ultra with Shadow Distance on High and Godrays on Low.

Google the location and "fps" you'll notice Im not the only one.

60fps, everything on maximum.

Looks like fanboys in denial.

It even occurs on both PS4 and Xbox One. So stop pretending the game is flawless and "runs fine" and "its user error"

Just went, stood on top of the second highest tower. Waited through the day for the weather to turn sunny.

Looking towards diamond city, 80fps
Looking down at Lexington, 50fps (37 min)

1440p, all on ultra except God rays on high

It's you

Lol, you've had it in for this game since before it was released. In fact as soon as the first reviews came out you couldn't wait to post the negative comments about map size and it's just gone on since then.

Personally I feel you've gone past the point of return with this game due to your predisposed negativity, and even if it was the best game in the world you'd struggle to pull yourself back from the precipice you've gone running towards.

Incidentally I had no problems in Lexington at the car plant, or any other location with my 780Ti @ 1440p. 5820k, Rampage V, 16GB. Solid 60fps (capped) with not a single crash in the 11 hours I've played.

Before you accuse me of being a fanboy, I've had my fair share of impartiality towards this game because there's some things it does badly in the shadow of it's predecessors. However standing on it's own it's a very enjoyable game, more so now I've started opening up the settlements and creating the supply lines between them.

I've started opening up the settlements and creating the supply lines between them.

I just took this perk thinking I'd have instant access to all my workshop materials from any location, but that doesn't seem to be the case. How does it work?

 

[new boy]

I'm frequently dropping to 30s and sometimes even high 20s with a 4790k @ 4.7GHz and a 290x @ 1080p

Thats godrays - low, shadow distance / quality - high and all the distance sliders dropped back, rest on ultra.

Dropping the quality down doesnt seam to back much difference.

Maybe I'll try cleaning and reinstalling drivers or something if no one else is really getting this.

Have you sent settlers from Sanctuary the other settlement(s)?

 

[D3K]

I hadn't. I just read up on the method and it makes sense now. I'm not sure it's worth it to avoid fast travelling, especially seeing as I had to burn 3 points in charisma to get to it.

 

[Winky_The_Winking_Turtle]

Playing this game just makes me wanna go back and replay NV again (...actually re-downloading a whole bunch o' mods right now )

They lack of meaningful dialogue options, skill checks, branching and weaving mission structure, overall quality of writing, etc. make this a poor Fallout experience...

BUT

That's not to say it's a bad game. I'm actually finding it pretty addictive and quite interesting in parts, easily Bethesda's best effort story telling wise imo, even if some of the dialogue and plot point and cringe worthy at times. At some points in the story I was genuinely confused on who I should trust and side with, etc. This game excels at telling lil' tales through exploration though, emergent gameplay. I love being able to stumble across skeletons questionable positions, terminal entries, scraps of paper, etc.

All these crafting systems are cool but really did need some fleshing out and polishing. Base building could have been so much more imo, they should have just gone full simulation mode Soem question designed decisions with the UI for example (guessing consoles are really the root cause though...) make things hard to manage, and the locked first person perspective makes it tricky to build anything remotely complex without some sort of technological frustration.

Same with guns. I love crafting all these mods but they're just not enough base weapons, and the ones that are there are ugly af (assult rifle in particular... shudders ) Though I know mods will fix this (there were some excellent ones for NV) so here's hoping...

Have you got a reference screenshot for where you're standing/looking because I also have a 980Ti and I'm not experiencing the same thing.

So far I've only encountered the Terminal bug, which was fixed by capping FPS to 110.

Yeah I'm feeling that way after ~7 hours. Nothing like F3 or Skyrim. Such a shame.

 

[coutinho]

I got to the top of the corvega factory and my frame rate tanked to a slide show,i thought a i52500 would be enough , cant be my amd 290.

 

[TNA]

Just reached level 41, still loving it!

Apart from one bug, well kind of a big one where you cannot access a small area in the map without the game crashing, it has been great. Here is a link on Bethesda forum where you can see which quests are borked as a result.

The common consensus is, it is linked to the save file, so something I in did the past, maybe someone I killed messed it up. Hope they fix it soon, as I cannot finish my silver shroud quest. I had to do a work around to finish the hunter/hunted mission. It was fun actually, I flouted up to the air ship to get on board

Spoiler

I went with the institute myself. Was considering going BoS but they reminded me to much of today's military which put me off.

Just reluctantly killed of the rail road guys, but they did not seem they could be reasoned with. Shame really. lol.

I believe the commonly used terminology of the modern world is...

Haters gonna hate

 

[Pighardia]

After about 35 hours, Preston has just told the main character that when he first met the him he had his doubts about him... He made him the leader of the Minutemen and was calling him general basically straight away!

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Anyone else having the issue where you can't leave a terminal?

Have followed internet advice and capped game at 60fps using Riva Tuner.
