The Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Thread - Early version of F4SE now available
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
What platform are you on? Have you tried reinstalling?(annoying basic question, I know, but still)
Downloading now for Deck. Are they any benefits for Deck owners, or any opinions from people who have played it?
Ummm, not really. It hides the launcher, if that's a benefit but you have to re-enable it manually if you want to change your settings. Plus you may need a workaround or two to get the game to run smoothly on the OLED deck but that's no different than it was before the patch, only the method differs.
Oh really, so if I want to change video settings there's no other way than re-enabling the launcher?
I'm on OG Deck. I'm hoping loading have improved! Thanks.
It's not capped, but you should cap it to 60. Anything above will break the physics and conversations.
o.
Mhmm how do I cap FPS? And are there directions anywhere on how to set up the Ultra Wide Screen settings? The launcher is dated and I can't get the proper combination to get my resolution to match w/ the game once it launches.
Played a little Yesterday. On PS5 performance is fine. The IQ IS perfect and crisp on my TV. With some graphical mode it's perfect ! I'm new to fallout 4. Any tips ? I have explored a little around Concord and sanctuary, go to Lexington but thé ghoule seems many here :D
Couple times and even come my PC for leftover files. I haven't even used mods either.
That's a really weird bug, then. Hopefully it's something they're aware of.
My game is completely broken now on PC and Steamdeck, I don't think I will finish this now. Having an update like this mid playthrough almost 10 years after release is a joke. The game doesn't even look better and it runs so bad now on my Deck where I was playing at 60 fps.
Thanks Bethesda, creation club and the Game's Store work perfectly :D

Far Harbour looking great. Man, I can't believe what I happily accepted with that 60fps "ultra" mod. No way it was running ultra settings like it advertised. What was the resolution on that no fps boost One X version?
I finally turned on survival mode. Had to make sure I turned off system auto updates because this release feels like it will get multiple bug fixes and I don't want to wakeup to losing my save and potentially hours because I hadn't sleep in game recently.
Also, good GOD that carry limit penalty was rough when switching over, and this is with 2 ranks in strong back preparing for this. I expected to lose everything but three weapons and a hand full of chems, I did not expect to have to stash 50% of the ammo I hoarded for those weapons.

One of steam's requirements to get a game verified is not to ask the user to use the "mouse" for example on a launcher. It's absurd because the game ran perfectly before and was just one click away from playing. Now you can't even change your settings if you don't force-launch the launcher from steam settings.
I wish they'd put in all the weapons, armour and clothing from 76 even if they sold it as extra DLC.
And some settings as well like draw distance, textures and shadows apparently.
Less perks needed to craft basic stuff and scrapping goes way smoother. I don't think you can mass scrap junk in Fallout 4 unless I'm missing something.
YMMV but I also enjoy unlocking weapon and armor mods from scrapping weapons and armor in Fallout 76.

Amazing first-impression of the new update lol

Normally I'd agree, but considering the size of the modding community I think I do prefer having one version that is established as the "live" one. Otherwise you'd see some modders staying on version X/Y instead of adapting their mod for a new version, which unfortunately just fragments the whole scene.
It's not an optimal situation either way and offering different branches via the drop-down menu could probably work without too many complications within the mod scene, but I think it's a pill we need to swallow if we want better mod support.
(Impossible to say if this is Bethesda's reasoning however!)
Thanks for the info; this makes me more excited to finally start Fallout 76 soon since exploring the wasteland and looting and crafting stuff is my favorite part about Fallout 4.
Using both a modded launcher that launches F4SE instead of the vanilla launcher and a mod that tricks Steam into thinking the game is up-to-date and it's like the update doesn't even exist for me. I imagine I'll be keeping it this way for a while.
Those of you playing for the first time, or if anyone still remembered their first time enough to answer, a question: At which point would you go out and explore freely as opposed to following the main quest markers? I'm having a choice paralysis of sorts
Wait
Your trophies don't carry over?
I just levelled up one time and I did get all the levelling-up related trophies, but nothing else has come across with the save transfer.
Fallout 4 is the last game where "go do all the trophies again," is a reasonable ask.

should be able to roam freely as soon as you fully awaken and leave the vault iirc.
Sorry, I should've been more clear lol. I meant at which point would it be adviseable/ideal to "ditch" the main quest temporarily? In case there are some good stuff that comes from doing the main quest that would make stuff easier or more efficient.
One way to check is to scroll down on the game's tab on your PS5 dashboard and see if the DLCs listed underneath says "Free"
To be more specific, the PS5 SKU itself doesn't come with all the DLCs included with the base game download, they all still need to be downloaded separately. I can't check since I already own all the DLCs before, but I would guess you'd still need to buy them.
No, there are PS5 versions of all the DLC packs that you need to 'buy' (they're free if you already own them on PS4) again in the PS Store and download.
Oh ok. Because after I got out of the Vault after a few mins the game started throwing quests at me (automatically) and I have never bought any DLC. So I was perplexed as to why so many quests started popping up.
Can you people change the HUD/Pip-boy colors from the fugly green to something else? Anything is fine over that default green. These screens hurt my eyes lol
That you can do from the main menu settings - no mods neccessary, was there in the vanilla
They're not asking for themselves, they're requesting others to not use the green if they want to share screenshots ITT lol which I kinda agree, the green does hurt the eyes
This is weird...
I am checking the add ons page as you suggested and the only ones I see requiring a purchase are Nuka World and Vault Tec DLCs. The rest of the DLCs dont show up a price to purchase. Even weirder there are also versions of Nuka World and Vault Tec that dont show up any price right next to the ones that do. All thumbnails have PS5/PS4 logos.
I am confused.
I've seen it happen with some other games, but not this one when I claimed my DLCs earlier. Are you checking from the PS5 dashboard > game tab > scroll down? Or are you using the Store page from your console, or maybe the mobile app?
EDIT
As you roam the lands you will get some chance encounters with befriending companions to team up with (a few can develop into romance and get some kind of friendship/lovers buff stat when you sleep together per night) or just go the lone wanderer route although iirc most might be tied on story progression same could be applied to joining factions you can take advantage of the odd benefits.
If you decide to set up a settlement there will be chance encounters to find level 4 tradesmen that can sell the odd exclusive weapon/armor. Another thing to point out about settlements is..
every now and then a spy will join the settlers and kill them off during the first half of the main game story

Ah.
I was looking through the dashboard -> view game but it only showed a limited amount of add ons.
Now I scrolled down and used the option Show All add ons or something.
Now there is a full list of all add ons twice. One version without price listed and one with price listed (before I only saw 2 DLCs with prices only because it wasnt the full list).
This probably means I dont have free dlcs lol, but then again makes me wonder why the hell are there 2 versions of each DLC where one is marked as "map" while the other is marked as "add on". What is the point of this?
Indeed. Also noted by Digital Foundry.
