What’s wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

JakJak98,

Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.

And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.

I wish I hadn’t installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it’s actually worse. I think they’ve increased the graphical fidelity, but it’s come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn’t fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

Everything I hear about AAA games is just straight garbage

RaoulDook,

Mine works fine without mods on the next-gen update. It’s looking much better than before on my widescreen monitor. I used to need mods to make it work in 21:9 and unlocked framerate, and now it’s all supported by the stock game so I’m pleased with it.

I did have a crash to desktop bug until I disabled the Weapon Debris graphics setting though. That was my one lame hassle that happened with it.

UsernameIsTooLon,

You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.

It’s just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn’t even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.

I’ll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.

LodeMike,

Perhaps

derpgon,

I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

Omega_Haxors,

Because there’s a good experience buried under a mountain of extremely bad decisions. If the games lacked potential people wouldn’t care.

Happens every time, especially if it has been years since the last update.

Damn and the next one for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Consider Tale of Two Wastelands if you have the Fallout and modding itches. I’ve got lifetime nexus premium back in the day so I loaded up a wabbajack playlist and was good to go in less than an hour. Otherwise, it just takes more time to follow a guide.

MonkderDritte, (edited )

Does wabbajack now work on linux?

Nobody wants to make a Linux build?

I have heard of people making it work, but I can’t confirm for sure.

SquirtleHermit, (edited )

It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.

Best bet it to use a VM of Windows, (or dual boot or whatever). But if you use Virtualbox, dont try to use a shared folder to make moving the mods easy, it just crashes the whole VM. My lazy work around was to use sftp to move the mods after.

Ragnarok314159,

Be careful with your lifetime. Mine was “cancelled” after trying to do an account restore, and they gave me a few months free to compensate. Wish there was someplace else for mods that wasn’t run by scum.

Fallout really needs its own version of Minecraft’s Modrinth.

“Excellent Fallout series”

lol feck off

TheDarksteel94,

Do you think it’s bad? I’ve only heard good things about it 🤔

ThatWeirdGuy1001,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

It changed a few small details like how becoming a ghoul works but other than that it’s really good.

Zahille7,

Nah, it’s good. Don’t listen to the salty “fanboys.”

There are literally like two discrepancies, but it’s really not a huge deal imo.

theonyltruemupf,

It’s as excellent as a live action adaptation can be.

AceQuorthon,

The Fallout fandom can be divided into two camps, Fallout fans and Bethesda fans. I don’t like Bethesda Fallout and from the little I watched of the show it wasn’t anything for me. 5/10 at best. I don’t care about ”the lore” or any discrepancies, I just thought it wasn’t very good.

Zahille7,

Lol shut up.

TheDarksteel94,

Ah, so it’s more like the vibe of it for you, I guess? I kinda get that.

I should be surprised that a bunch of nerds are fixing game-breaking updates in their spare time that were created by a multi-billion dollar corporation, but I’m not, at all.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Plus, this is Bethesda, and in particular their open world games. They have always been shit the fans had to fix if they wanted to play it, as the foundation was solid but the company didn’t do any actual development.

When Bethesda began re-releasing Skyrim without ever fixing any of the many, many, MANY bugs, was when I realized they really don’t give a shit about quality. Unofficial Skyrim Patch has over a thousand bugs that haven’t been fixed by Bethesda, some as old as the original release.

ZombiFrancis,

This has been the gaming industry since the internet.

Back when gaming was still considered a niche pastime or just toys for kids, and the developers weren’t multi-billion corporations, the dynamic was one of a mutual love of the product.

That was like, barely a generation ago.

I haven’t been having any major problems except for occasional framerate stuttering, but then I don’t use that many mods.

My only real complaint is that there’s really no new story content, it’s just a couple of new locations (Enclave checkpoints like FO3) some new armor and weapon types, and a handful of quests that are pretty much radiant quests with a coat of Enclave paint. Considering the download was like 10GB I was expecting more. If Google is telling me the truth, that’s bigger than all the other DLC combined.

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

I thought that it was going to be new Bethesda content, but then it was just workshop content, so it's not substantial.

Bugthesda tried to patch something and fucked it up? Oh no, I am thoroughly shocked. Definitely didn’t see that coming.

It actually fixed a game breaking crash on Xbox so I’m not gonna complain.

I’m just happy to have the wasteland back

Oh man the Starfield modding scene is going to be a fucking ghost town.

kbin_space_program,

It already is. Check it out on Nexusmods. I did so late last week and they couldnt even fill 1 row of new mods this week. Even Morrowind still gets that done.

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Have they released a creation kit for Starfield yet?

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

Nope.

p5yk0t1km1r4ge,

“Soon”. That’s all we got to go on. It’s coming “soon”.

FenrirIII, (edited )
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Soon ^^TM

kbin_space_program,

That never stopped any previous Bethesda title from being modded.
