I wouldn't put it past them to have launched this two days after London was due so as to not be overshadowed by fans during their "moment" in the sun with the TV show.

It's a pitiful update.

Yup I wonder as well.

so stupid question will the unofficial patch be needed once the new update arrives on the 25th ? I'm thinking of starting from scratch again should I wait until the 25th ?

If you going to use mods, then yes, wait until the mods you want to use have been updated. Depending on the update, it might be a quick thing for the mod authors or it might take a bit of time. I would wait a while after the 25thg before start playing the game if I were you.

Has anyone used this to mod their game? https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/index.html

I've gone through the "basic" stuff and will try it out later. Have turned off updates for FO4 so will just see how i get on with this as I've only got sporadic opportunities to play but watching the TV show made me really want to play a fallout game again. Last one I played properly was Fallout 3.

F4SE breaking with update is not going to be fun

It's been nearly 10 years since I played this but I've never played it with mods.
Does anyone with mod experience know of any must-have mods I should look out for? Aside from Fallout London of course!

** Fallout 4 Next Gen 2024 - MODS & TWEAKS **

Seeing as many people will be playing the new(ish) version of Fallout 4 next week and many of the old mods will not work on it unless updated. I thought it would be best to create a new MOD only thread, just like Skyrim so we can start a fresh...

Has the update come out yet? nothing in steam.

edit - comes out at 5pm

 

[Minstadave]

Considering a new play through but the update doesn't seem very exciting from the details I can find. It's not even a texture update let alone DLSS/HDR.

Will be Steam Deck verified though so I'll give it a try on that.

Update is out. My game now crashes randomly. At least I get to see it crash in Ultra Wide-screen.

Par for the course, it's Bethesda!

Apparently the UW support is garbage, just stretches the HUD horizontally like the old config tweak.

How much lower can Bethesda get...

There was Fallout 76.....

It seems to be the "weapon debris" option that causes it. It was defaulted to off so of course I whacked it up to the highest setting.

Turned it off again and crashes appear to have stopped. And yeah, the ultrawide support is just a stretched screen by the look of it.

Might just cancel the download tbh. Sounds a total anticlimax.

It's looking like Fallout 4 GOTY + Mods is the way to go. This is even worse than Starfield

It's Bethesda.
Bethesda logic usually means more bug fixes lead to more bugs.
So yes. It's bad.

Also this sounds about right

Folks : next generation from Bethesda meant that people who play in consoles, will have now 60 fps instead 30 ... so this update is to match the consoles capability so that is why they called a next generation update cause those new consoles are next generation consoles.

Bethesda never meant to "remaster" this game with this update, otherwise, it would have been a next generation graphics game.

In this case, if you play on PC ( as I do ), nothing will be different. Graphics and textures will be the same and we will only get some weapons and a couple of high resolution rocks that probably we will never find ... BUT ... we will get a big pain in our butts cause we would have to wait for F4SE to be fixed and all the mods that depends on it as well, so it will take days if not weeks for us to play a modded game again.

The same thing happened when they update Skyrim to Anniversary Edition. All mods broke and we had to wait weeks for those mods to be fixed. So, sit tight, relay and start playing another game till this is fixed. I will take a guess : probably by the 2nd week of May we will have all mods fixed. I hope we can get them sooner but modders are not getting paid to either create or fix / update their mods.

I wasn't aware there was any confusion as to what this minor update actually was. Despite someone on this thread telling me actually it was a "significant" update for PC. Was it ********

 

[TNA]

I am glad I waited for this update. Lol
