So I got Fallout 4 yesterday and played like 5-6 hours of it already.

Game has massive problems holding the 30fps when inside buildings, cages or whatever you have a load time when you get in.

Here is a short video I recorded. (No Spoilers)

I uploaded the raw video http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/YvZYwBxi/file.html 37mb

This get's way worse when people shoot at you or throw molotow cocktails.
I am no technical expert, but I think this game might be locking itself like The Witcher 3 did. Firefights in buildings feel exactly like fights in The Witcher 3 in the swamp when it's raining.
In the open world the game has hiccups too, but not as bad as in buildings.

This just isn't fun, when you can't even aim properly because of the frame rate

Edit:
Sorry, Day One, or Patch 1.01 is installed.

Edit2:
I want to add, that in firefights in buildings it affected my aiming and character movement. You may not see it perfectly fine in this video, which has also no firefight in it, but I could definitely feel it. Also, the part where I want to go through the hole in the wall, I couldn't move my character properly.

here's a video, i've recorder earlier today.

i just uploaded it, so youtube is still converting it, i think.

the framerate war fine until i used the scope, then it dropped significantly, making it hard to get a good shot.

Edit3:

new link of the scope video https://vid.me/JLcx

Edit4:

I did a walkthrough in the same building without any fights.

You can see the fps go low when I am turning left or right, and sometimes when sprinting. FPS get's really bad at the end.

So I made a video of the loading times in->out and out->in

Last video for today.

Fast traveling can take up to one minute.

Could you add chubigans video to the OP?

Its an hour of PS4 footage if I'm not mistaken.

Bonus:

Made a thread in bethesda forum asking if this would be patched got instadeleted and i am permabanned xD

 

[Newtype-001]

Noooo

 

[Kezen]

Day one patch ?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Really hope reviews cover this issue and don't pass it off as Bethesda jank

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Day one patch ?

Sorry, Day One, or Patch 1.01 is installed.

 

[Lakitu]

Well, fuck.

Anyone on XB1 and PC able to test this?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Day one patch ?

Also want to know. Is there one? Is it installed?

 

[Ahasverus]

Change. Your. Fucking. Engine. Bethesda.

It runs pretty bad from your clip indeed, but not the end of the world.

 

[Acquiescence]

It's the PS3 all over again.

 

[kadotsu]

Change. Your. Fucking. Engine. Bethesda.

Not. If. You. Still. Keep. Buying. It. Regardless.

 

[TraBuch]

While that's a bummer, I beat 3 multiple times on the PS3 so this looks like a smooth 60 in comparison to that entire game.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Change. Your. Fucking. Engine. Bethesda.

It's not GameBryo's fault. That shit runs great on toasters. It's Bethesda's.

If you want change, either buy it on PC or hold out and play another AAA this season

 

[Alienous]

Change. Your. Fucking. Engine. Bethesda.

When your game engine shits the bed at the idea of the player climbing a ladder you should really take it out back and end its suffering.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Have ps4 version, experiencing same shit

 

[Dick Justice]

 

[burnside13]

Didn't look too bad to me. Can't believe you go the extend to say it ruined your fun. Crazy talk

 

[Ponn]

Yyyyyyup. Glad I canceled my preorder. Got screwed with Fallout 3 and Skyrim on PS3, you ain't going to fool me again. Will wait and see if they actually fix their shit by the time the GOTY rolls around.

 

[CasualTR]

Sorry, Day One, or Patch 1.01 is installed.

Damn. That is pretty unacceptable for interior locations. Does the problem persist outdoors?

 

[Loris146]

Good lord...

 

[Philippo]

Point is, i can forgive TW3 for having these problems because it's really huge and actually has no loading times for interiors.

But this one? That barely looks like a current gen game? It's really ridiculous how behind Bethesda is regarding tech.

But Skyrim runs on my PC with same specs at over 100fps.

 

[Hoo-doo]

If you're expecting a solid 30 from a Bethesda game running on consoles, your expectations are too high.

 

[Scrawnton]

I survived blight town and borderslands. I can survive any frame rate on the PS4.


This is nothing compared to what we put up with last gen. I'm gonna be thankful and be happy it's running that well.

 

[Robaperas]

It doesn't seem that bad, maybe they'll address it in another patch.

 

[Servbot24]

That's it? Didn't look like a big deal to me. :/

 

[justsomeguy]

Framerate compromised to ensure lush visuals

 

[MetalGearOnlineK]

The drop is noticeable but not to the extent that I think it would affect my enjoyment of the game. Hopefully it's patched fairly quickly.

 

[Ashtar]

Pre order cancelled

Ugh I hope the xbone version isn't as bad or a quick patch is out

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I guess everyone should just buy Tearaway™ instead.

I could live with that.

 

[Whompa02]

TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE...HORRIBLE!!! /s

Getting the PC version I think anyway. Never liked Fallout/Elder Scrolls with a controller anyway.

 

[Svafnir]

I don't understand why Bethesda hasn't just made a new engine yet. It's obvious this one always has problems.

 

[Gnilres]

I played Skyrim on PS3 (at launch), I think I can handle this.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

That's it? Didn't look like a big deal to me. :/

It is worse in firefights.

 

[R3TRO]

That looks rough

 

[Icyflamez96]

While that's a bummer, I beat 3 multiple times on the PS3 so this looks like a smooth 60 in comparison to that entire game.

Yup. Played F3 on PS3. Framerate issues galore.

This doesn't look so bad to me in comparison lol. I only noticed it when he was by that hole in the wall and briefly when he left a room.

 

[Skab]

Boy am I glad I don't give a shit about FPS. That looked absolutely fine to me.

You people are crazy.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Maybe they needed another year. Who am I kidding, everyone knew it was going to be a tech mess.

 

[Theorry]

Well its a Bethesda game. So is expected. Reason i wait a couple of months first to see it gets better.

 

[Game4life]

I expected bigger dips than that. It seems okay. Not ideal obviously but bearable.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Bethesda has the reputation where I will wait on release before I consider purchase.

You're the crazy one for not giving a shit about FPS


Even if it doesn't matter to you, it's still a negative aspect of this version of the game

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Noticeable but not game breaking op. Hopefully it gets improved with the next patch.

 

[DKHF]

I wouldn't call that "horrible", it's bad but not what I was expecting from the title.

 

[soulluos]

That's why they give you V.A.T.S so you can aim even with shit fps.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Well fuck.

This shit completely ruined The Witcher 3 for me.

Now I'm real scared

 

[Teletraan1]

Figured this would run the worst on PS4. I just had a hunch.

So if this runs better on XB1 can we finally start to talk about MS marketing deal shenanigans because this would make it 100%. The other games that ran better on XB1 all had marketing deals but anytime anyone brings it up they get a tinfoilhat.gif thrown in their face.

 

[PancakeAlmighty]

Bethesda game is a technical failure. in more news of the same shocking variety, the sun rises EVERY SINGLE DAY!
