Fallout 76's New Ultrawide Mode Comes Under Fire From Players

Fallout 76 players are unhappy with the game's new ultrawide mode, which doesn't seem to offer true 21:9 support.

RpgSama1999d ago

There is no shame with bethesda, their 21:9 official patch after one month is just a stretched 16:9 that modders already did like day one by changing ONE line of code.

And let's be very clear, they just stretched the image, the UI looks stretched because they didn't update any of it.

Valiar1999d ago

Wow, what should be expect now for ES6!

porkChop1999d ago

The game itself apparently renders correctly in 21:9, it's just the UI that doesn't. It's still a big problem though, and a clear sign of laziness. 21:9 support should be there on day one.

It's becoming increasingly clear that Fallout 76 is essentially an early access title, which wouldn't be as big an issue if Bethesda was honest about it from the start.

Phoenix761999d ago

It's not even an early access title at this point. It's a pre alpha at best!
Hopefully Bethesda will actually consider using or developing a new engine from scratch for their next titles, but at this point I don't believe that they will.

porkChop1999d ago

That would be ideal. Clearly the Creation Engine can't support modern games. I mean it used Gamebryo as a base, which was a bad foundation to use. They either need to build a new engine from scratch, or license a suitable engine.

Magic_Spatula1999d ago

What's funny is that there's an unofficial patch that scales the UI correctly for 21:9. There's also an unofficial patch that does the same for Skyrim and Fallout 4. So it can be done in the Creation Engine. Bethesda's just too damn lazy to figure out how to do it.

RpgSama1999d ago

They are the ones that keep messing up. They don't even try to get themselves out of this hole

raWfodog1999d ago

At this point, Bethesda should really consider approaching some of these modders and offer to pay them to improve and patch their games. They do a much better job than the actual devs.

TheColbertinator1999d ago

Instead of Bethesda paying modders to help them out, they are telling us to pay for modders' work through Creation Club.

Bethesda is officially going backwards into a ditch

DrumBeat1999d ago

All physical copies of this garbage belong in a literal fire. Basically anyone who supports this game should be chemically castrated.

As Fallout76 Crosses 20Million Gamers Amid Success of TVSeries, Todd Howard Talks Franchise’s Future

“Fallout 76″ has found a whole new world of players thanks to the popularity of Amazon’s “Fallout” TV series. The Bethesda Game Studios title, which first launched in October 2018, crossed 20 million downloads and plays as of Wednesday.

Obscure_Observer1d 17h ago

Impressive!

Hopefully Fallout 5 will be among next gen Xbox´s launching games.

-Foxtrot1d 16h ago

Yeah will be great. Can’t wait for it on the PS6.

Notellin1d 1h ago

What's the point of mentioning the platform you plan to play on? Tribalism.

Zeref1d ago

Can't wait to not have to pay 70 dollars for it lol

ocelot0723h ago

Will probably be decent on the HP Omen Xbox but not so sure about the Dell Alienware Xbox though. But I have high hopes for the Asus ROG Ally Xbox Edition running this game at a stable 60.

thesoftware73021h ago

Fox,
I'm sure MS can't wait either; all that money they will make.

Everyone wins.
Play it on Xbox, play it on PS, play it on your cell phone, play it on PC, shit, maybe even on Nintendo.
ALL=$$$$ for Microsoft corp, literally all these companies care about.

It's Obscure_Observer...and I like to wind him up by saying what he would say to others

I'm sure Sony can't wait to be part in 30% of Microsofts profit, without spending $7,5 billion + development cost.

All free money for Sony 👍

You think it's a positive but it's funny how much of a negative it actually is...lol

Though it would be nice i think tod with his team should stay away from it let someone else take the helm like fallout new vegas.

I also hope after all these success they do not make fallout 76 number 2 sense 76 is the most profitable game they made in the series thanks to monthly subs. Then you got the billion + they made on elder scrolls online.

First thing first is the new elder scrolls title they been working on and we got more updates for starfield to come out but one has recently added a new feature called interactive maps you can see icons along with paths now true next gen.....

So yeah with starfield being there "years" of dev time biggest budget/team size do you trust them with the next fallout title?

MrDead1d 2h ago

The next fallout will be on all systems as Xbox is their smallest market. You don't restrict your flagship games to one of the worlds smallest and shrinking platform.
Bethesda still needs PC and PS as we've learnt from recent layoffs thanks to Microsoft's greed in trying to ban multiplatform publisher's from their biggest console platform.

Obscure_Observer16h ago

Whatever happened to your claims that MS should be boycotted and ultimately destroyed due its greed and monopolistic goals?

You said that the only reason MS released Starfield on PC is because its a new IP, otherwise it would an Xbox exclusive game, as MS ultimate goal is to remove games from players, right?

Now you come to realize that all of your smearing campaign along with all of your doom and gloom prophecies was for nothing!

You don´t really care about MS being destroyed as long Playstation gets some Xbox games.

The moment you find out that neither TES VI and Fallout 5 will be making it´s way to Playstation anything soon, you will be right back where you were a few months ago, shoehorning how MS must (again) be destroyed. Smh.

"Bethesda still needs PC and PS as we've learnt from recent layoffs thanks to Microsoft's greed in trying to ban multiplatform publisher's from their biggest console platform."

Last time I checked, Tango, which released Hi-Fi Rush on both PC and PS5 got shut down while Bethesda (Starfield) do not.

Yes, MS is greed. Yes they do care about the money above most things like every company does.

But just like Sony, they´ll not put their flagship titles on Playstation while damaging their own consoles in the process. I though both Phil and Sarah were clear about that subject when they confirmed that a next gen Xbox console is in development.

That said, the thing that most people don´t realize with all that port begging nonsense, is that Xbox releasing all of its flagships games on Playstation will do nothing but hurt the Playstation brand in the end.

Let me explain:

First - If all games from Xbox land on Playstation, what real interest Sony will have to continue and invest in innovative and multi hundred million dollar single player games that they´re known for? None! I mean, why would Sony take risks when the competitor is doing it in their place?

In the end, Sony will just rest on their laurels by allowing Playstation to be carried by third party publishers and ultimately, Playstation´s premiere first party games will be no more.

Second - After the recent events, you know now how far Sony is willing to go to get that MAU from Steam gamers, they literally banned Steam gamers from 120 countries and regions for it. In Microsoft´s case, you also know they will demand Playstation players to connect to a MS account to play Xbox games, which favors no other but MS itself, because they´ll be "stealing" gamers from the Playstation´s player base, via the ultimate "Trojan Horse".

As a wise man said: "Be careful what you wish for"

Oh Obscure, the irony in what you're saying is crazy.

Fallout 5 will most likely be 80% generated by AI.

It's a good show. They are really good at live action trailers.

Huey_My_D_Long21h ago

Yall have alot to prove after starfield. Personally I think they will squander the potential for the game, but hey, I look forward to being proven wrong when its released.

4Sh0w17h ago

Yeah the TV Series was better than I expected.
