You can't do that on PC. If you try to change to another difficulty it tells you that you can not go back to survival. Is that different on console?
It's not, but there's a mod that lets you switch between normal/survival whenever you want.
Unlimited Survival Mode - F4SE
This is a F4SE plugin which restores some hard-coded features disabled by game in survival mode,for example,unlock console,enable TGM,enable fast travel,restore vanilla compass settings,enalbe quick s

Sorry, that's actually what I meant. Sorry for the poor wording.
I think if history has shown us anything when it comes to these kinds of updates from Bethesda on PC, it's always the most bare minimum effort , so I pretty much just expect it to be the reason London isn't launching this week and not much else.
Ah, that's a little harsh. Pretty cool to be getting any update for a 9 year old game.
Yeah, I'm really wondering what exactly this is going to entail. I know they've said there's going to be the kind of standardized "Performance" and "Quality" modes, 60 fps and "increased resolutions", and stability improvements/fixes.
So it's probably not going to be much more than something like dynamic res targeting 60 frames and higher dynamic res (pushing to 4K?) at a hopefully stable 30 frames?
I'm replaying the game for the first time since launch after not really playing it at all to begin with and I've been somewhat pleasantly impressed by how the vanilla game looks and runs on the XSX. Would like to see the ability to alter the FoV with this though, as that does feel a bit too constricting by default. And I'd love if they improved the game graphically beyond just increasing resolution and frames, but it kind of seems like that's not in the cards for this. Stuff like improved effects, HDR, better AA, improved textures, etc.. (I know they had some high res texture pack released years ago, not sure about HDR support)
Since these are going to be native apps for the new consoles, I wonder if it means more improved loads too. So far on XSX, the loads have been very short as it is, but if these versions essentially eliminate them entirely then that's another plus.

It's always been like that for global release. When a company sets a date, it's for the West. Timezones and all that so it's late in the night or very early in the next day for us in the East.

Damn. No one ported this to xbox
Edit scratch that, it's is!!! Why on earth searching for something called unlimited survival mode using those exact terms puts that result on page 2 essentially is beyond understanding
If your PC can already max it, basically just the free creation club content outside of official widescreen support
North America: 9am PDT / 10am MDT / 11am CDT / 12pm EDT

Meh. Thought it would have more graphics related upgrades but I guess not.
I'm going to guess that mods disable trophies on PS5. I can't imagine playing this game vanilla.
Even if you're new to the game? Or would you recommend playing normally first then on survival down the road?
Absolutely do not start on a new game unless you are a glutton for punishment or LOVE that sort of friction in your games. Survival mode makes everything do 4x damage to you which means replaying and reloading alot, on top of the game design throwing quest markers, especially the unlimited generated ones that tend to pick "dungeons" you haven't been to yet, half way across the map make the no fast travel maddening and basically adding a dozen hours to your playthrough of an already giant game just running around.
I highly recommend turning it on late game when you have some great weapons and armor and before you start the 2 main DLC, which are both smaller self contained areas and thus no fast travel feels fine. You can get absurdly strong that even very hard feels like a cakewalk so survival evens it a little bit on top of making the dozens and dozens of food and drinks in the game actually matter on top of the other wrinkles.
It's not out yet and we only have a blog post basically showing creation club items they are adding. So you aren't dense. It's PC on max for console, this isn't going to be a remaster
Yeah I get that, I'm just surprised there's not been one vid showing the upgrade
it'd likely be comparable to higher pc settings for lod as that was the only really notable difference from the console version from memory
That alone actually means that it is improved from the old console versions. I don't mean just resolution, but you said PC maximum settings so we expect to see improvement in textures, draw distance etc..
It's the surprise element, either it will be a very good effort or minimum effort to capitalize on the show's popularity.
If it's minimal, it's because of the size of the team working on it and nothing to do with the show. The update was announced over a year ago now and planned to release months before the show aired, last year.
It was but it is a "coincidence" that the update comes out shortly after the show is released on streaming.
Don't expect better textures. The 4k release on PC is an unoptimized barely noticeable mess. Luckily, console players have had mods for draw distance and other high PC settings for years. Now it's all official.
well thats a good thing tho. It was supposed to release last year.
Kinda delayed it to combine it with the show. But gave them extra time also
Oh, I think everyone knows it's not a coincidence, and totally understands why they are releasing it now lol
I didn't actually realise this was coming and started the game on game pass last night lol, not because of the TV show which I have no interest in, just felt like it.
It crashed to desktop twice in a row running to the vault at the start though, don't really want to get into a long game if that's going to be a regular thing

TV show is really good, watch a couple of episodes to check if it's your thing.
Those crashes would probably be fixed by disabling "weapon debris" in the launcher. It is some kind of bug relating to what GPU you have. It happened to me, too.
As someone who has no love for the Bethesda games: it's good and does Fallout justice.
The PS4 version is going to receive a patch, but there is also a Native PS5 version coming today with even more improvements like Performance Mode and Quality Mode settings.
Yup, It's not just an update, it's a completely PS5 Sku version. It will appear in the library or three dots.
Coming on the 25th of April*
*Sorta. Technically. If you happen to wake up fairly late in the day. lmao
On a positive note it makes it less likely to cause issues for fallout London maybe.
First enemy encounters could be difficult and frustating with survival mode if you are new imo. I recommend playing first few hours normally like a tutorial then start a new game on survival mode.
