I'm on PC and I haven't noticed anything changed. Literally. I don't notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0's and don't do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

The primary issue on PC is that it broken F4SE, breaking a large number of mods and delaying Fallout London, a mod they poached developers from.

That, and loading times in some areas are suddenly a minute long.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Every update breaks F4SE. Same with SKSE. Just wait a few days and it'll be fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

yep, and im still waiting for the dev to update it (tediously painful he says.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.

And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.

I wish I hadn't installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it's actually worse. I think they've increased the graphical fidelity, but it's come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn't fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

Everything I hear about AAA games is just straight garbage

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Because there's a good experience buried under a mountain of extremely bad decisions. If the games lacked potential people wouldn't care.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.

It's just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn't even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.

I'll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

Mine works fine without mods on the next-gen update. It's looking much better than before on my widescreen monitor. I used to need mods to make it work in 21:9 and unlocked framerate, and now it's all supported by the stock game so I'm pleased with it.

I did have a crash to desktop bug until I disabled the Weapon Debris graphics setting though. That was my one lame hassle that happened with it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Happens every time, especially if it has been years since the last update.

Damn and the next one for Dragon's Dogma 2.

Those flickering shadows you get whenever a light source moves—like, you know, the sun

🤦‍♂️

Killed abandoned mods for money.

Consider Tale of Two Wastelands if you have the Fallout and modding itches. I've got lifetime nexus premium back in the day so I loaded up a wabbajack playlist and was good to go in less than an hour. Otherwise, it just takes more time to follow a guide.

Capital punishment or Begin Again?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Begin Again

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Be careful with your lifetime. Mine was “cancelled” after trying to do an account restore, and they gave me a few months free to compensate. Wish there was someplace else for mods that wasn’t run by scum.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Fallout really needs its own version of Minecraft's Modrinth.

Does wabbajack now work on linux?

Nobody wants to make a Linux build?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.

Best bet it to use a VM of Windows, (or dual boot or whatever). But if you use Virtualbox, dont try to use a shared folder to make moving the mods easy, it just crashes the whole VM. My lazy work around was to use sftp to move the mods after.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I have heard of people making it work, but I can't confirm for sure.

"Excellent Fallout series"

lol feck off

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Do you think it's bad? I've only heard good things about it 🤔

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The Fallout fandom can be divided into two camps, Fallout fans and Bethesda fans. I don’t like Bethesda Fallout and from the little I watched of the show it wasn’t anything for me. 5/10 at best. I don’t care about ”the lore” or any discrepancies, I just thought it wasn’t very good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Ah, so it's more like the vibe of it for you, I guess? I kinda get that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Lol shut up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It's as excellent as a live action adaptation can be.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Nah, it's good. Don't listen to the salty "fanboys."

There are literally like two discrepancies, but it's really not a huge deal imo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

It changed a few small details like how becoming a ghoul works but other than that it's really good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Hopefully London is around the corner

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh, Bethesda. Bethesda, Bethesda, Bethesda.
