Even Xbox One and PS4 Mods Can’t Solve the Real Problem with Fallout 4

So finally Bethesda has made good in their promise to bring mods to Xbox One and PS4. But let’s be honest, there’s a large and craterous problem with Fallout 4.

my game crashes after 15 minutes, or if i go into a place where theres alot of acction like in the city, i know its not my pc, what a big dissapointment this game was, terribly unoptimized, and cartoony graphics from 2006

_-EDMIX-_2923d ago

That sounds like it's more so you're PC than anything else.

I could never say it's Graphics from 10 years ago, also irrelevant to the game.

spoonard2923d ago

Perhaps you'd prefer an engaging text adventure game based on the Fallout universe? Graphics always matter.

Khaotic2922d ago

@spoonard you have an opinion, just like in this article, but the game is widely accepted as being a beautiful and engaging world. So people that think this game has bad graphics are an extreme minority , just like the opinions in this article.

I would have thought by now people would've quit bashing fallout for attention.

MRMagoo1232923d ago

it's gotta be your pc I have this game on pc and my wife has it on her pc and we have had maybe 2 crashes at most each and we even mod the heck out of the game.

Majister-Ludi2923d ago

You need a new pc buddy. The game is slightly cartoony on purpose and I really think it looks nice on high setting. Especially after you add some mods it can really look beautiful. I've only crashed when I get my mods mixed incorrectly.

garrettbobbyferguson2923d ago

Nothing wrong with "cartoony" graphics. What is wrong with the graphics is that they are just horrendous. Crap textures all over, terrible looking character models and facial expressions. I remember the first thing I saw when making it out of the vault was a hideous vine texture hanging over an equally hideously modeled house. The game is barely an upgrade over New Vegas, and with the right amount of mods you can make New Vegas look pretty damn close to the visuals that Fallout 4 is outputting. For all the crap I give Battlefront, at least Dice had the decency to make the game look good. I legitimately can find nothing good about Fallout 4.

DrJones2922d ago

Wow you got disagree bombed

nowitzki20042922d ago

@DrJones

Well just about everything he typed is wrong imo.

conanlifts2923d ago

In parts the graphics are ordinary. But other scenes like when you see the airship are pretty good.

nowitzki20042923d ago

Im thinking its the PC. I dont want to say I have no problems, but the game runs amazing and looks great as well on my 970. Not the best looking game, but good enough. I got bored of other stuff with the game though.

Helios862923d ago

Your PC, your drivers, whatever it is, it's fixable.

@iNFAMOUZ1 Badly optimized PC much ? Runs perfect on mine.

WellyUK2923d ago

it ran pretty poorly on launch, dunno if it still does as I uninstalled it.

Dragonking0072923d ago

If they wanted to make cartoony graphics they should of at least been creative like a cupheads art style now that would of been creative 1950s cartoon style

SavingPvt_Highon2923d ago (Edited 2923d ago )

I wasn't aware FO4 had problems. This was and is an amazing game. Just my opinion though. It got a lot of hate, even though Bethesda gave the fans what they asked for. I played over 7 days on PS4, not 1 crash.

MRMagoo1232923d ago

I think it's because everyone expects every Bethesda game to be a broken mess at launch they don't see that this game is fine.

2923d ago
Helios862923d ago

My biggest gripe with the game is that it's devolved into an almost pure action game. The dialogue is pathetic, the story is meh, the customization is ultimately lackluster and the world just lacks alot of what made previous games so interesting to explore (where are all the creepy vaults?).

Omnisonne2923d ago

The dialogue and story would be my only points of criticism for F4. Though the average story doesn't matter that much for me, they changed the dialogue interface options for the worse, and left little room for roleplaying aswell.

Otherwise the game has been very enjoyable for me, the only crashes I had was due to building a settlement out of proportion and using fast travel whilst inside.

Blacklash932923d ago (Edited 2923d ago )

I don't like the Radiant Quest system either, but those quests are generally completely avoidable and it's not a big deal if you don't do much with them. Fallout 4 has more than enough proper quests to make up for them, if you ask me.

gamespulp2922d ago

Agreed. They are wholly optional and avoidable. But we don't think they should be; they should be as unmissable as everything else.

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 15h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 10h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

anast2d ago

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN1d 22h ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 4h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

attilayavuzer1d 23h ago

Guess we're stuck with 60fps

GamerRN1d 22h ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 11h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 11h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
