Fallout 4 Fans Are Begging Bethesda To Stop Updating The Game

2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk

That's kinda spoiled, lol

How did you roll back to before the game was updated?

Console skyrim mod enjoyers are weeping having to re-download 75 mods because Todd liked the word Creations more.

lol perfect.

Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

Such a weird narrative that Bethesda hates New Vegas. Fallout 3 also doesn't have a remaster or anniversary edition.

With Bethesda's blessing, season two of the show likely revolves around New Vegas.

bethesda has historically hated mods and the people who make them. its why their games have such a small modding scene

It took that time before the update for me as well. 1-2 minutes for every loading screen. There was a mod for that (before the next-gen update) that you could not load via nexus, bc the setup was a little more conplex, but it worked really well (see https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 )

The method of this mod was to speed up the fps only while in the loading screen to 300-350 bc the loading times were somehow tied to the fps. Well done Bethesda.

Alt-tab until you hear the music stop and it will load quicker.

That's the classic Bethesda experience.

Hah, those are the load times I used to get on my Xbox One with its dinky HDD. At the very least, The Midnight Ride has been updated to post next-gen, and I now get really small loading times (<5 sec) on my SSD. The game feels less rough around the edges, too. Only took 3 hours to set up :,)

Super strange because on PS5 the load times are extremely fast since the patch. indoor / outdoor transitions are never longer than 4 or 5 seconds, and quick travel maybe 6 or so

I am so glad that Irongate is being much smarter with Valheim. You can opt into the beta and also choose older versions of the game to downgrade to, all within Steam. Very helpful for an early-access game with tons of mods and sporadic updates.

I actually downgraded from Skyrim SE to oldrim in November. I started playing modded after a hiatus after the first big update whatever that was

Everything a little harder to deal with but at least I don’t have to worry about it updating

Rip in peace my mod list: from whenever I started to December

Starfield was so forgettable even Bethesda already forgot about it.

Starfield can't be fixed. The game's issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they'd have to effective make a whole new game.

Don't you know Bethesda? They won't even fix bugs that are thoroughly documented by the community and take 5 minutes to fix. They're not going to fix a game that is missing entire features.

They’re all out of fun game ideas and need something to do.

They could try fixing something for a change

I'm far from an expert with mod development, but this seems like the best way out of the mess they've put themselves in. I think modders would come in droves if they made it really easy

I play vanilla

constant crashes

Yeah that sounds right.

So current fallout 4 install is fine and safe?

1.6 mods are also stable now, but of course Bethesda shits out the patches every now and then so you need to downgrade anyway, just to 1.6.

It’s not that they can’t, it’s that people are getting blindsided by updates to a game which supposedly hasn’t received updates for over half a decade, and downgrading on Steam is a surprisingly huge PITA. The Midnight Ride recommends patching, fwiw.

They can. The issue is it'd eventually split the community. Mods that no longer have support will be lost, and the ones that do will either decide it isn't worth updating each time or have to put up two versions. It also creates needless new work for people, especially the F4SE devs.
