The Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Thread - Early version of F4SE now available
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
This stuff has always been in the devs hands, nothing to do with Sony. Any version they aren't upgrading is their choice.
Happened with other free upgrades in the paat though.
But yeah, see what happens. It's still on Premium I believe, so might happen.
They said they're looking into it on Discord so seemingly not neglected on purpose
Well, Sony is the one that decided to have a convoluted upgrade system instead of allowing developers to simply push an automatic upgrade like any other platform. It's probably an oversight in this case but it's one that shouldn't have to exist.
I wanna see the proper 21:9 support
I'm sure their mods/Creation club pages are getting absolutely decimated right now, so it's probably just a traffic issue.
Was gonna play this on PS5 because that's where I bought the season pass back in 2015… but I'm just now realizing that I must have had it on disk back then. Not getting the next-gen entitlement despite having the PS4 SKU in my library, which must be the PS+ version
Hopefully it's just an error! Otherwise I guess I'll just play this on Series X and purchase Far Harbor on its own, since the big Fallout sale is over 🙃
4 is a good place to start, each game is basically standalone. I personally prefer New Vegas and 3, but they can feel clunky by modern standards

The Bethesda fallouts are open world RPGs. You wander around, talk to NPCs, fight raiders and monsters, etc.

They literally have the most backwards upgrade/save system when it comes to entitlements. I doubt this is Bethesda's fault.
As ever, Sony's store is making it confusing as shit when it comes to PS5 upgrades.
I own the game, for absolute sure. The question is whether I own it digitally or physically, which I actually can't remember. In my library the Fallout 4 thumbnail doesn't have the PS Plus symbol, implying I own it digitally for real. Oh, but the new PS4/5 app is charging me £15.99. So now I don't know if its a typical Sony store glitch, or if I didn't actually own the digital version and that it's the Plus version which isn't showing the Plus symbol in my library because I originally played it via a physical copy.
Oh, but I scroll down the app and see the Choose Edition section which lists Fallout 4 PS4 & PS5 which is tagged as "Purchased". When I press X on it it gives me an error saying "You already own this item".
So wtf Sony, WHICH IS IT HUH?
I'll try and see if I can find the physical copy if I have one, but jesus do Sony make this so much more confusing than it needs to be.

In this one your supposed to go around the ruins of Boston looking for your kidnapped son, but what'll happen is you get distracted by a side quest where you dress up as a comic book superhero.
Serious answer:
Fallout is an RPG series. The first two were isometric turn-based CRPGs and the Bethesda era games are open world RPGs. If you want a rich RPG experience, play Fallout: New Vegas. Fallout 4 is more of a shooter with some RPG mechanics on top.
Just started a new PC play through… played up to Vault Tec guy at front door and I'm having some audio issues. Character lines not synced up and some character lines running over top of each other.
Bethesda never lets me down.

Just got the PC version yesterday but now I feel like I oughtta wait for all the mod stuff to get sorted out before jumping in. REALLY struggling here to stop myself from going down the rabbithole. Last time I played Skyrim back in the fall I, of course, ended up using Wabbajack to install hundreds of mods, and then only played it a handful of times.
I'm in Canada too and I would say most people put their decorations up after our Thanksgiving here too. Like what's the point of a holiday season if you only put decorations up the night of or before? Maybe some people don't think of Halloween that way but it's very much a seasonal thing to me that runs through most of October.

explore, shoot giant cockroaches, choose if you're good, neutral or sarcastic jerk
If you own the physical version the app icon should show a little disc icon in the corner.

Unless of course, you stop them first. Features the classic Enclave Colonel uniform and over a dozen workshop items! If you have other Enclave creations installed, some of these troops may use this equipment against you!

Talk to people, compete with janky mechanics, drink irradiated water, fight annoying bugs and come across some cool random side quests. Fallout 4 is probably most aligned with the show instead of finding your dad, you're searching for your son that went missing after you were both in a cryo-chamber to start the game.
Even Fallout 4 feels pretty dated. People who love the games really love them but they're definitely not for everybody.
Update on F4SE.
"The 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim's "Anniversary Edition" patch. I am working on an update and cannot currently offer a timeline for its availability, nor whether there will be any critical technical issues that would block an update. Do not email with questions."

I'm kinda hesitant to start downloading mods on Xbox because I'm not sure if they'd play nice with this new version
I'm tempted to start a survival run through (on Steam), but does anyone know if the survival mods that allow quicksave will work with the update? I hope so, as that's my only beef with survival mode (requiring a bed to save).
Here you go.
Survival Options
Adds a holotape that allows you to choose various options for survival difficulty, including hunger, thirst and exhaustion rate.

Just checked and the disc icon actually only shows when you've already had the game installed on your PS5 at some point.
All the games I have on disc that I haven't played on PS5 yet show a lock icon instead while the digital ones don't.
If there isn't a lock either I don't know what could be wrong.
Weird stuff seems to always crop up with PS+ versions so it's likely the absolute shitshow that is sony's backend cropping up again.
With all the posts, can we get this post pinned?
They're looking into it
So is the enclave remnants content baked into the update? I wasn't seeing it in Creation Club, Im assuming they took it out of that and just made it apart of the game, yes?
Wild. On my street growing up in Texas and now in Oklahoma, Halloween decorations go up on Oct. 1st. All of October is spooky month.
On PC, I cannot select the resolution of my ultrawide monitor, 3440x1440. The menu gives me the choice of two aspects ratios "native" (2752x1152) or "21/9" (max 2560x1080)...
Downloaded on Steam and patched no problem. Launched the game, it runs in 21:9...and crashes after about 30 seconds.
