This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.

MODERATORS
let me guess, they still did not learn to add a beta branch for the old version after all the shit with skyrim mods and anniversary edition
I am so glad that Irongate is being much smarter with Valheim. You can opt into the beta and also choose older versions of the game to downgrade to, all within Steam. Very helpful for an early-access game with tons of mods and sporadic updates.

The most thriving mod communities are ones for games that have essentially been abandoned by their publisher. Bethesda is infamous for trying to integrate with its modding scene and personally I don’t care for it.
So, they're giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it's received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it's future proofed.

They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.
It took that time before the update for me as well. 1-2 minutes for every loading screen. There was a mod for that (before the next-gen update) that you could not load via nexus, bc the setup was a little more conplex, but it worked really well (see https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 )
The method of this mod was to speed up the fps only while in the loading screen to 300-350 bc the loading times were somehow tied to the fps. Well done Bethesda.
Console "tweaks"
It seemed a lot faster for me prior to this latest update, but they were never superb. Here's hoping either the mods can be fixed or bethesda can get their shit together.
That's the classic Bethesda experience.

Still haven't updated to the new update. You just have to swap an app manifest file, takes 5 seconds.
I'm not sure why people with modded setups updated, I guess they had yet to learn that lesson.
I see the FPS still maxed at 80 through DP connection and the Fallout 4 Script Extender no longer works. The XDI and Be Exceptional mods have

Leave Bethsoft alone guys. They're all out of fun game ideas and need something to do.

You have one story, thats it. They can update that game til PS7 is a thing and you will have 1 story. I love the game but the replay value is minimal, at best
My "nExT gEn" update experience:
- Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
- Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
- Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
- Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
- Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K
FYI, most mods I installed are from:
- The Midnight Ride:

- Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk
That's kinda spoiled, lol

Yeah, but you'll get a few hours in and uninstall because you stop playing.
Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.
Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.
Albeit quite bugged at release,
but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.
The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened..
An official modpack would have been much better.

Except that all of their patches broke all the mods.
FO4 also was a mediocre fallout game but a decent FPS and base builder

The updates will continue until morale improves.
