So started playing this on PC for the first time - Straight away everyone's speech is bizzarely sped up or skips ahead & music cutsout early.

Google it and it's because I have a 144hz display - To fix you have to lower to 120hz and change an ini file to make it work. The guide for this is on the official website.

So if they've known about this bug with higher than 60hz displays for years, why the hell wasn't it just fixed in this update? It seems nuts that they didn't take the opportunity to fix even the basic issues that newcomers on modern PCs would have.

Sounds like the authentic Bethesda experience to me. I read on Reddit that RTX cards are broken?

I have to reduce shadows to high on my 3080ti. Ultra drops my framerate from 4k 120 to the 30s in some areas outside. So far that is the only issue I have had.

I ran the game today and it crashes on startup.

it’s a creative choice.

When I tried it on PS5, it crashed more than Richard Hammond. But at least Hammond felt some form of exhilaration before it happened.

Very happy to play on console. I just turn it on and play. No need to deal and troubleshoot all of these issues PC folks deal with.

Water is wet.

IKR, it seems kind of expected from a major update, though maybe the age of the game lulled players into a false sense of security.

 

[Krathoon]

Ok. I updated my video card driver and the game works now.

I would have been nice if there was an error message indicating that was the problem.

All the game did was crash.

You should be regularly updating your graphics card drivers to begin with. That PC Gaming 101. Why would you need a notification to be told the basics?

You can't get Steam to work properly. I don't think you should be throwing rocks from the glass house you're in.

Fallout 4 is an old ass game. It does not need the latest and greatest video card driver. That is bullshit.

I've been building and working on computers for 25 years. Sometimes shit just doesn't work right. And there are many reasons, sometimes certain pieces of software just don't interact right with certain hardware configurations. I may just have an unlucky hardware configuration. Based on the responses I've been getting in that thread, nobody has suggested anything that will work. If that's the standard then everybody is glass houses.

However, I am pretty sure nobody in that thread thinks that not updating video drivers is a good idea.

I've been playing on PC for a week, started from scratch, the only bug I've found so far is that the workshop menu miscounts the number of beds available on some settlements.

 

[Krathoon]

Now, can I make a copy of the Fallout 4 Steam directory and put the London mod on it? Does the game have DRM on it?

The patched version crashed for me at about 30hrs in. Where as a modded version I had before, was perfectly stable. It felt a tad dated for me, so a once beloved game of mine, I think is best left to become a good memory.
