I tried the 'Fallout 4' Next-Gen Update...

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fallout 4 is a 2015 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fourth main game in the Fallout series and was released worldwide on November 10, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. The game is set within an open world post-apocalyptic environment that encompasses the city of Boston and the surrounding Massachusetts region known as "The Commonwealth".
The main story takes place in the year 2287, 10 years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 years after "The Great War", which caused catastrophic nuclear devastation. The player assumes control of a character simply referred to as the "Sole Survivor", who emerges from a long-term cryogenic stasis in Vault 111, an underground nuclear fallout shelter. After witnessing the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their son, the Sole Survivor ventures out into the Commonwealth to search for their missing child. The player explores the game's dilapidated world, completes various quests, helps out various factions, and acquires experience points to level up and increase the abilities of their character. New features to the series include the ability to develop and manage settlements and an extensive crafting system where materials scavenged from the environment can be used to craft explosives, upgrade weapons and armor, and construct, furnish, and improve settlements. Fallout 4 is the first game in the series to feature a fully-voiced protagonist.

I just downloaded Fallout 4 again to see what the nostalgia is. But for the next Fallout i personally would like something similar to Baldur's Gate 3, take it back to its original state.

[@quintrapnell3605]

without mods high frame rates break everything btw. The character animations, game clock, and weather are all synced to frame rate for some reason so when I was pushing 1000FPS the game was unplayably fast. Like break neck speeds the UI can't even handle.

[@yakimandu5098]

basicaly non of the big important bugs ppl constantly run in to are fixed and 21:9 support is just a flat out lie. it doesnt work. 3440x1440 resolution isn't even an option. no options for fov, fps limit, v-sync... you still have to fiddle around in the fallout.ini and gpu driver for that stuff. nothing about this is nex-gen. effectively the patch just ads some mid-tier creation club stuff and breaks all your mods. Thanks Todd!

[@Rangure02]

London developers are just lying. They were never supposed to release the mod in the promised date. They just blamed this update for it. In Discord, since this update was announced, we told the team to just make a mandatory requisite to have the GOG version or to use the trick of the Vortex mod manager to fool Steam in think the last update is installed. The team never said anything. They just canceled the release.

[@Lycanvenom]

@@Rangure02 I wouldn't say they're "lying", but I would agree that there's a strange amount of dramatics over this release when we've known this was coming for years, they've informed us of each delay, it seemed like a no brainer would be some time near the release of the show, and there are literal ways to get around this and even downgrade your game if you accidentally auto-updated if Fallout London is actually important to anyone. Especially when the one thing people keep pointing to as a reason for upgrading PC was Ultrawide support. I sincerely doubt the majority of people complaining about ultrawide support being improperly implemented are actually a part of the 2.1% of reported owners. It's just regurgitation. It's also been funny seeing people like "Bethesda did this to break mods because Fallout London was coming to kick their ass.". Like. Yeah, a FREE mod for BETHESDA'S game is gonna kick THEIR ass. 😂😂

I think out of the dozens of mentions of this series and this exact game, this is the most concise and considered synopsis you've given about the fallout 4 experience.

[@arsenii_yavorskyi]

Jesus, even comparing it to The Witcher 3 is an insult.

[@ramonzaions7522]

The first time they talked about this patch... they talked about something NEXT GEN (ENHANCED), and that was right after the witcher 3 did the same thing... everyone thought it would be a total increase... better graphics...bug fixes, stability, etc, etc! Without any information for months and months, some began to think that the update might not be released... with the insistence of fans for more information, Bethesda announced that it would come after the release of the series on Amazon and made everyone feel relieved and more excited again. Even because it took more than 1 year to do this upgrade, everyone thought it would be something big! The truth is the opposite! Bethesda not only didn't improve but also fucked up a lot of things, which after the whole fallout 76 case and criticism of starfild, it's amazing how nothing changes and they continue to be liars and disrespectful! Fallout 4 had NO GRAPHIC IMPROVEMENTS! What they did was increase the resolution and fps in the console version! If you played on PS4 or Xbox One and are now on PS5/Series X, you will see an improvement in image quality... but IT IS NOT A GRAPHIC IMPROVEMENT! Ray tracing, mechanics and content graphical improvement is what Cdprojectred did with the witcher 3! ON PC you have an eternal bug that when running at more than 60 fps the physics of the game is broken THEY DIDN'T FIX THAT! There is a graphics option linked to the Nvidia GameWorks graphics library that can be activated in the game to improve bullet fragments and impacts (and it looks much better) but for years activating it means crashes and crashes.. you run the game for a few minutes and it will always crash and in more than 1 YEAR of ""working"", THEY DIDN'T FIX IT! To make matters worse... the patch broke many mods, many mods are simply completely unstable! all thath for what???? Better graphics? NO! Improved mechanics? NO! Improved gameplay? NO! For bug fixes that have plagued users for years, especially on PCs? NO! So why did we have this patch that is a disgrace for the modding community, and it didn't improve anything??? MONEY !

[@osominor419]

@@__jojo__ If this was a game that was still getting meaningful content updates (such as Far Harbor, Workshop DLCs, or even bugfixes) I could agree with putting the game aside until mods were updated. The thing here, is that BGS took a game that is well past it's end of support and hasn't seen an official update since maybe 2017? (could be wrong) And decided to make very minimal changes that break the game for people that have been tweaking their load order for years now, hell, I'm sure that there's people that have been playing the same character for years who likely, cannot do so after this update unless they knew how to prevent the update, or know how to revert it. There is nothing "abnormal" about being upset that something you loved/enjoyed and could consistently rely on is broken or taken away, I would too, be upset, if I hadn't prevented the update and the 3 years I spent on my load order was basically destroyed (remember, a lot of the OG modders no longer maintain/create mods so a good number of them will have to be let go if we wish to use the new update). There's no need to insinuate that this person isn't "normal", its harsh and entirely unnecessary.

Important context: As with most Bethesda updates the 'real' update is backend. According to Ianpatt from F4SE the compiler was changed, and F4Edit reports that the archive file format was adjusted/changed as well. Situation reminds me of when they added esl's as an option with Skyrim which basically had no change at first but has completely revolutionized modding today, not to say the outcome will be the same scope, just to say that there probably will be a significant effect that's not seen short term. As much as it's easy to shit on the updates for breaking mods, they are usually helpful down the line, and potentially may one day lead to them finally porting the games to DX12 where we won't have to deal with draw call limitations and pandora's box is finally opened.
