Don takes a look at the numerous issues that are specific to the PC version of Fallout 4, and why he thinks that means Fallout 4 isn't in an acceptable state on PC.
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.
Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.
I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.
That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."
It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.
I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.
Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.
Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.
My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?
I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise
The Fallout 4 next-gen update is now live, bringing with it improved performance and visuals, as well as brand-new exclusive content. This new update brings the latest single-player entry in the series up to modern standards, with it also marking an official PS5 release of Fallout 4.
Bethesda games are usually released in unacceptable states on all platforms, it's a shame that it hasn't affected their sales.
So I'm somehow ended up with the best version I guess. Only two bugs have been present on my now 80 hour playtime. One of them is a know real issue, the Kidnapping at Greentop nursery. Which is real easy to bypass on PC.
Don't play on pc. Solved.
Very well thoughtout article. Thanks. I already passed on day 1 for obvious reasons, but this seems like it'll be a late 2016 purchase for me.
I did't see it in the article, but xfire and sli is currently broken too ... very poor sgowing indeed.
I'm roughly 12 hours into the game and haven't experienced any problems yet besides a texture glitch. All I had to do was reload the game and everything was solved.
Compared to most multi-plat PC launches this game seems to actually be in relatively good shape.
