In survival you get diseased even sleeping or a molerat blinking their eye at you from 30m away.

Survival after five hours though just kind of becomes busywork as you get ahead of the curve pretty fast.

I tried Survival pretty soon after it first came out. I decided about when I met up with Danse that I wasn't having fun and switched it back to Hard

Has anyone figured out how to get the Achievements Enabler to work on Steam Deck? I've gotten it installed but it still doesn't work upon loading the game.

Installed manually, I put everything in the required folders. Using F4SE new version. Still nada.

According to Mystic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPRvRlnllSg at 1:26) the issue with PS Plus is fixed and you can now upgrade to the PS5 version if you redeemed the game from the PS Plus Collection. Is that news? I thought Bethesda said they would not do it?

They never said they wouldn't do it. It was IGN editorialising for clicks.

I can't remember when it was fixed but it was on Monday or Tuesday I think.

Hope they fix the XSX version soon...so many major issues compared to the PS5 version:

* Performance mode only
* Bugged VATS
* Hitching every few minutes (Im guessing this wont happen in quality mode once it's fixed)

Put a considerable amount of time in both versions and the PS5 on quality mode is great.

I'm level 16 on survival mode and I decided to do the Kellogg quest and man, I died so many times he could just one shot me. Finally had to go get the fat man in the fort and shoot him from the hall. Shit didn't even kill him I had to finish him off with my laser musket.

Started a playthrough a few weeks back, haven't been on it since the update. Loaded it up last night and this morning and seems my mods are chugging along with no issues so far.

Been scouring that all day, and it seems none of the fixes work for me.
I got achievement enabler to work with their dll loader, don't know how one does it with F4SE on the Deck. Download the main zip, download the dll loader one, drop both on the game folder and then at startup options
Code:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b" %command%
I'm only using the unofficial patch so at the time I have no need to mess around with F4SE.

Haven't had a chance to test overall performance, but I found a couple mods for Series X that boost the settings to ultra, and the difference is pretty massive. I did run around a few densely packed areas in downtown Boston and got in a few big firefights and performance held up great. Mods are Tweaked performance mode and next-gen ultra settings v2.

I'm using Moribund World as well which is why the color palette is different.

And here it is without moribund world, but the same ultra mods.

This is what I am waiting for. But I am not confident they will fix it based on their comment that it is not broken. But that was said before all these video's showing it is broken.

yeah so this also doesn't work because I have a patcher that puts Mod Organizer into the Play Button for Fallout 4 - meaning launch options just don't take. It's weird because before patch, it worked just fine.

Ugh, I need help… my save loads up just as I'm about to be swarmed by some bloatflies.
I just can't take them out before they kill me, I don't know why I'm so ridiculously weak but they take 2-3 shots each but I die from a couple of hits from the flies. Tried lowering the difficulty to easy but it doesn't seem to make a difference, like it's not registering?
I don't know what to do - I've died like ten times now and I'm sick of it.
You guys playing on survival are insane.

You don't have any earlier autosaves perchance? If not, you could always try running away and kiting them towards friendly NPC's. You could also enable god mod through the console or a mod. That disables achievements though, if you care about that sort of thing.

Some early game enemies can pack quite a punch, it took me a while to get over the hump again too. Now I'm entrenched in a Gunner-infested Vault severely underleveled, with several Assaultrons coming after my ass, lmao.

Yeah once I saw all that mess to get MO2 working on the Deck I said screw it, just going to play with mods from Bethesda.net. Going to leave all that work for another time lol

They seem fine. I tried them both along with vivid fallout and although you get slight stutters it was quite bad in the Boston area. Game runs fine just as Next-Gen & Tweaked performance mods or if you want to stick with Vivid Fallout then leave the other two out. I even tried Vivid Fallout with just Tweaked performance but again it was bad in the boston area. Now to decide which mod set up to stick with

EDIT
Also I don't know if it's different on Survival, but I'm pretty sure settlers are immortal unless you go out of your way to kill them yourself.

I went and tested this out. Yeah you right. I was lead to believe they could from watching years old youtube vids.

I'm really blown away by Sim Settlements 2. The new city management mechanics (which I don't really pay attention to, tbh) and main story quests are not only the highlights, but the side contents are also very well done. Besides some series of side quests from new, unique characters scattered in the Commonwealth, they also added 2 new factions with their own storylines. I particularly like the Nightingales, as their presence and how they operate do make sense in the wasteland. They also have some cool characters.
