New Fallout 4 patch dropping may 13. New options for graphics and performance - Fixes and improvements

I can still target enemies through walls and the percentages still wildly fluctuate.
I wonder if it might take a few minutes to start. Because when I first fired it up, it seemed to be somewhat working. I could still target through walls, but I wasn't getting the fluctuations. I was about to post that, but then I started getting the constant fluctuations again.
That is correct. They've added toggles for both 'quality' and 'frame rate'. It's fine on the menu, would have probably led to more game breaking issues in the delicate Creation Engine in real-time.
Did they fix some of the texture/terrain issues on PC (like the Thicket Excavations/quarry texture bug)? That plus load times was what was bothering me the most.
Did the game ever have HDR? I thought it was only using Auto HDR?
It doesn't even have one on PC if you decide not to mod it in or put in console commands, so that checks out. It's ridiculous, but it is what it is.
I just noticed the "Dolby Vision" popped on the loading screen
Ok, so before the patch the VATS fluctuations seemed to be there with or without mods. I removed the Unofficial patch from my load order, and I'm not getting the VATS fluctuations anymore (very rarely one of the percentages will drop to 0 for a second, but it's not all of them wildly shifting over and over). I can still target enemies through walls though. I played and reloaded a bunch for about 10 minutes and it seemed hold. So maaaaaaaaybe somewhat fixed. If it holds, it seems to at least be tolerable now.
edit: It did not hold. Shit is broken

I agree it'd be more valuable to them to keep updating Fallout 76 to add more story content and Bolster the 76 team then to pull people off Starfield and ES6 to add dlc for Fallout 4.
my god, Bethesda is legit some of the most incompetent devs (っ｀Д´)っ･:∴ shoestring and bubblegum engine.
that's correct, it only had Auto-HDR. Don't have it installed anymore so can't check what it's using now, but prior to this, it was Auto.
Don't think that is "broken" as to be Steam Deck Verified a games launcher must work seamlessly with a controller which the default launcher does not. So rather then creating a new launcher, they just disable it. You can bring it back with launch parameters.
Waiting patiently for my Steamdeck to update the game. And when I say patiently, I don't mean it.

Fallout 4 has received a new update that adds the ability to manage your control over the game's graphic fidelity or performance. There have also been additional fixes and improvements to address some of the feedback you provided us with on the previous update.
Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5 Display Settings
Thanks to your feedback, we've been able to implement the ability to control your graphic fidelity and performance. We highly recommend you run with the default settings but now you can change your options to better fit your playstyle and display.
Frame Rate Target
Frame Rate Target allows you to choose between 30, 40, and 60 (default). It is important to note that to select 40, your display must be able to support 120hz.
Visual and Performance Prioritization
You can now choose between Visuals and Performance (default) while trying to maintain frame rate target. If you choose Frame Rate Target of 60, we recommend selecting Performance. Both modes may adjust internal resolution dynamically when scenes or action get heavier.
Please note both modes can only be changed from the main menu.
Update Versions
- Xbox Series S|X:1.10.765
- PlayStation 5: 1.10.985
- PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One: 1.10.984

That's how it has always typically worked for a locked 60hz mode. If you are in an uncapped 60hz mode it would use 120hz for the VRR.
It's crazy the state they are leaving the PC version in:
* Long ass load times (1-5 min load times)
* Randomly getting stuck on accessing a terminal (really sucks for survival runs)
* Broken graphical features that crash the game when enabled and at the very least there isn't a message saying weapon debris is only meant for Nvidia 1000 series cards
I know there's a mod for the load times on PC, but I really shouldn't have to resort to modding the game for something like this.

So... this has not been fixed if there is no alternative option without having to put parameters...
Is there a known explanation for what you're saying about the load times? I've played the most recent patch on three different devices (one Intel, two AMD), but hadn't run into weirdly long loads times like that.
I believe they're talking about exiting a building into the Commonwealth. I have the same issue, load times are very long. Running off an SSD.
Strangely I don't remember having this issue when I first played the game in 2015 on worse hardware and HDD.
It mostly seems to be when exiting a building and loading back into the commonwealth. It's a pretty common issue and thought it affected everyone, but maybe not. I'm currently on an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU. When I played around the launch of the game I was on an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU and dont recall any loading issues.
The longest load I've had was right after rescuing Nick and dealing with Skinny Malone…loading back into the commonwealth right after that took 5+ minutes.
The fix seems to be disabling Vsync since load times are tied to framerate in some way…higher FPS = shorter load times, but can also screw up other stuff like animations if FPS goes over 85 or so.
There's a mod that disables vsync just for load screens but I just dont like the idea of modding the game.
Thanks for the explanation. I might do some tests on my end, because now I'm curious.
I think the terminal thing has to do with >60fps. Use one of the high-fps-fix mods to clear that up.
Adding my voice to the "why is the PC version this broken" chorus. Before this patch it used to take no time at all to get back out to the Commonwealth but now I'm dreading it. Where's the mod for that?
Ya the last time I had it happen was at the end of the automotron dlc and had to exit the game set my monitors refresh rate to 60 so the game ran at 30 fps. Other times I just keep reloading just before accessing the terminal and it will eventually take.
nope. unbelievable that they tout this as a feature and its the most broken shit I've seen. good job bethesda!
