I was about to mod the game for HDR and then found out news of FO4 getting updated.

Updates break mods. Just how it is. Though, after seeing the work needed for modding Starfield after each exe change, I'm doing shader replacement now. As long as they don't change from DirectX, I should be good.

Edit: Nevermind. Somebody asked me for help and got roped in. Got HDR working. Let's see if it actually lasts.

Edit2: Just gotta fix TAA. Source

If it breaks mods, can't you just play a previous release via an option in Steam?

As far as I know you cannot choose to roll back, only not update, but I may be wrong. I'm hoping to be corrected.

Fallout London is about to release and it's a massive under taking. They are hoping to attract people who haven't played in years. Trying to get them to install the right version because Todd Howard isn't as easy as your dismissal suggests

I can almost guarantee that more people care about the free next gen update of Fallout 4 than will ever play the Fallout London mod.

I'm legitimately excited for the Fallout London Mod, so this isn't meant to minimize it, but modding, even in Bethesda games, is a much smaller niche than people on here seem to think.

Bethesda is legitimately doing something good for the game, for free, and they announced it two years in advance.

The only upsetting part of this is that they recently announced a launch date and it is coincidentally close to when Fallout London was planning to release.

If that one coincidence wasn't happening, then nobody would be complaining about this pretty cool free update.

At least not until after it releases.

I think from a wider market stand point sure... But for people who have e stayed invested this whole time its a slap. The Patch is mostly fluff.. Adding workshop items,Halloween content and performance shifts. The main problem is with the performance shifts they may alter variables such as delta, gravity and physics. Previous mods that have been worked on and polished with the intention of using the existing variables will be broken.

As the London devs even said, they are really excited for this new content and performance update, and they asked you to put down your pitchforks.

This is going to be a setback for the modding that has been done, for sure. That is the contract the mod community understands when they build their creations. It's very evident at every step of the way that you are not using consumer grade products with ABI guarantees.

But Bethesda has publicly stated they went out of their way to try to reduce breakage of mods this time compared to the skyrim anniversary version. So we have to wait and see what that means.

But if you want to hold back performance improvements for everyone because a small niche within the modding scene will have to update their mods to work, that's not a reasonable ask.

But can I fish?

GTA just did this to me… 2 and a half days after I was happy with my LSPDFR install.

Booo, misinformation. I legit thought I was just getting old for a sec but fo4 is like 8 years old. Although that does still hurt to think about.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So it was released in 2011

2024-2011=13 fuck your right its even older

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Wait, let them keep thinking it's 2020

Skyrim is 12 years old...

(It will be 13 in November, a teenager...oh god, get ready for the rebellious phase.)

Edit, I did not watch the video, which is about Fallout. The meme was made for Skyrim.
