My mods are ruined but at least Fallout is popular again.

Since the bombs dropped near Halloween, it'll always make sense to get Halloween decorations, at least that's how I'm justifying it

My mod accidentally turned all deathclaws into 12 feet tall Macho Man Randy Savages. My frame rate goes to shit every time i encounter a pack of em 😂

Playing fallout 4 on Halloween was one of the coolest experiences I had. Last year I rebooted it and I was walking around sanctuary before the bomb dropped and I was so immersed by Halloween decor forgetting that the bombs dropped 8 days before Halloween. The game just feels somehow right to play then and I don’t know why, but even outside the game that time of year fits the emotions of fallout 4.

we definitely need a 3 and new vegas ps5 port

Crazy that fallout 4 came out 9 years ago

I thought at performance mode it was 60fps at 1080p but by playing it no wonder it surprised me since it looked quite good being at 4k 60fps on the ps5

You really pulled a fast one at 9:52 with that New Vegas plug. 😂😂

Had to chuckle when you showed the shooting of flying bugs in the game right when you said "bug fixes". May be a coincidence, but if not then props for the clever editing.

Gameranx, gameranx never changes

The amount of times you said this game looks old and ugly in this video makes me realize how spoiled we've become as gamers.

It’s quite impressive that their array of stability improvements directly translates to constant crashes on my PC version and now I can’t play it at all. Great. (Edit: turns out it’s a graphics setting that needed to change, not the update itself)

For every like on this comment i’ll play one minute of fallout 4 Update #3 i decided to just make a new build, went with a melee focused build i did the duplication glitch of the perk book and just made all my stats maxed at 10 im now just completing side quest with the super sledge hammer avoiding the main quest to get the most out of the game

The Halloween pack will be due to the in game date of the bombs falling being 8 days before Halloween on 23/10/77. You can find a multitude of Halloween banners and decor around the wasteland in vanilla.

The first thing I did when I got my Series X, was download the 60FPS recap. It's been great since. I'm surprised it took Bethesda so long to release that simple feature.

I wanted to start fresh with this update, so I disabled all my mods and start from scratch, now I'm stuck on the concord museum terminal the character will not fix itself to the terminal, and since I can't open the console of the game to select TCL I had to restart from the Red Rocket save that I have.

I think the Halloween decorations are there because the month you leave the vault is in October.

Another settlement needs your help! But now in 4k! Preston,Preston never changes.

All the halloween decorations in Diamond City are put away after halloween ends in game. Pretty cool detail. Was Diamond City always decorated for halloween if you go on October 31 in game or was all that just added with the update?

How's it run on the series s? Does it still crash every time you go downtown?

They need an update for red dead 2 for 60 frames

For those running PC and already upgraded there are two groups of mods that you want to stay away from until to hear back from them: Script Extender and any engine patches INCLUDING the Unofficial Patch. Script Extender has to attach to specific code locations in order for it to rework so it has to get "re-sized", and this update corrected a number of issues (I think even Out of Time got patched) so you don't want those patches overwriting any of Bethesda's work until we figure out what has been fixed. Other than that there is a large number of mods that should work just fine. Anything that would work on consoles, minus the engine fixes, is fair game for now.

I don't mind the fo4 perk system for stuff like gun skills or lockpick etc. After all just dumping up to 49 in lockpick won't do anything until I add that extra one. But perks like Mr sandman etc should have been a separate one. Give us the option to upgrade a skill or take a perk each level/other level.

Dude, the Halloween stuff is because it was near Halloween when the bombs dropped. Some of the houses in sanctuary still have Halloween decorations on them. And when you are talking with your spouse in the opening there is an option to suggest going to buy Halloween decorations or something like that. It's not weird. A 6 second google search would have made you realize that.

Next gen on PC - 8 years to get the ultrawide screen support that modders gave us years again. Great job Todd.

Basically they did what we could do ourselves with a couple mods. Breaking thousands of mods in the process

By default settings post this update, the game is running actually pretty decently to honestly great on Steam Deck (LCD). The only thing I changed was setting my deck to 45 fps to just be sure. No serious stuttering yet. Also not draining my battery super fast either. But on my PC...yeah different story. I didn't get the memo about not updating. Have to wait till the smoke clears on that one.

What I remember from FO4 was its mod. Number 1 must-have-mod was inventory list screen and category. The one in the game was so inadequate for game with a lot of item. I don't play 76 or Starfield but I wish Beth can fix it in FO5 without relying on modder.

There is something about FallOut3 that just hits different though.

The Halloween pack is because the open world begins around Halloween, just noticed the date while sleeping at Diamond City. Also, on Series X, my game’s been running a steady 60FPS without performance mode enabled. Big W

I did “when pigs fly” quest to get the piggy launcher. Used that against the enclave ambush and took out the dude with 1 hit.

I have FO4 for XSX, bought the edition with the CreationClub mods, but haven't started playing yet. Does this update break the CC mod content on consoles?

"it just crashes" - Todd Howard (translated)

I recently picked up Fallout 3, new vegas and 4 on my Steam Deck during the sale. Got all 3 for like $12. FO3 is still alot of fun and I'm loving it all over again. Last time I played it was on the 360 14 years ago.

Didn’t mention that you can install mods on the Xbox through the Home Screen of the game now. I installed the whispering pines one, silent hill mod, and it’s pretty fun. Not sure I will leave it on for the entire playthrough as you can’t see anything due to the fog lmao but all the cryptids and silent hill enemies are cool.

My main question Can you download this update on console and load an old save (assuming you had no mods installed on that save, just non creation club dlc)?

I think the Halloween content was put in there because the start of the game is set just around Halloween time. It says so in the living room TV just before you need to leave your house. And the neighbors houses have Halloween decorations in them.

Can we normalize updating and reviving old games when they get an influx of new interest. New Vegas would still be great with a bunch of new updates but a well done remaster would be incredible also.

Good luck trying to revert your install too, since there is no way to do that on console and PC will require a backup of the old version so you can have the originals of all the changed files.

play on SURVIVAL!!! The slow pace and intentional actions makes the game way more fun imo.

This is a record-breaking achievement for Bethesda. They have released updates in the past sure, but to release an inconsequential update that breaks this many mods, that must be a new high for them. Kudos.

So, I did not know this was coming out and earlier this week went back and was doing the DLC from an old save on my series X. From directly playing the old for a week to the update, it was a noticable visual improvement. I am super happy with it.

Awesome framerate improvements on the XBOX SX version since the update. VATS seems a little broken, however with it allowing targeting through walls. Also had issues with sound delay but a simple restart seemed to fix that.

I always go for the graphical mode since I’m used to play on consoles that how lower frame rate than PCs and just want some nice resolution, but sometimes performance mode is better indeed so I’ll give it a try

They literally changed the resolution slider and then said it was a next gen update

The ultrawide 'support' just stretches the screen to fit your ultrawide and looks awful. The UI doesn't scale properly either so it takes up a huge portion of the screen.

They updated plenty on PC too. None of my mods are broken after the update. They added some new items and quests as well.

7:59 vats did you dirty

3:18, the ps5 version is using post-nuke textures on the vault hatch! Rusty and damaged? They made more bugs...

ive been playing it before the update but last night i noticed blinding green flashes popping in and out around vault 81 area it got so bad for my eyes i had to turn it off .dont know if thats always been the case

"four...four never changes"

I’m happy for this update it fixed the Lexington towers where I had to save Rex. There was some serious geometry glitches where walls with no collision were spawning in the entrance and throughout various floors. I got killed by a few super mutants at first until I realized it was a glitch and I could pass through them

love the way when you are on fire its just pretty flames and no screaming.. downloading right now on pc and play station. been awhile so I am looking forward to a play through

I miss all of the random encounters I used to come across before I started the Automatron DLC quest line. I swear, I will one day find The Scribe again.

The Halloween stuff is there because in the game timeline the bombs dropped right before Halloween. Like they fell the week before trick or treat day.

I love the kinetic gun mod. You fire it too close to you at the ground and it sends you flying into the sky and far. Using it on enemies is so fun.

Has downtown Boston been fixed then? The area where Goodneighbour and the library is...

The good… lots of free content, but sadly half of it is stuff most of us purchased anyway… That being the inferno and XO2 quests. These have been rolled into the Enclave Remnants line which is pretty good. Also rolled into the Enclave Remnants line are the Tesla canon, and a variety of heavy junk guns. I suspect these were added because they will make an appearance in 76 sooner rather than later. For me at least on Xbox S, all but the Tesla cannon has broken graphics. I can also attest that the entire quest line for the anti material rifle is broken. And worst of all, Preston is still broken, still not giving “taking independence”.

glad i have a lot of mines when I triggered "echoes of the past quest" .. All went kaboom in a seconds after all the enclave walks in to my trap

You almost move at Call of Duty Speed with that 60 FPS. I was running around for almost 30 minutes straight just for no reason. 😂

Great video, Falcon. I never finished the main campaign the first time around, playing a Bond spy type at the time. Starting a new game, (Xbox series S), with a different archetype, and i am finally dedicated to see this through. Really loved the Fallout show

I’m stuck on getting this game on PC (rtx 2060) or series x? I want to mod mostly visuals for my first playthrough

A) I like the idea of PS5 having save transfer since I have a lot of hours on PS4 but since the fresh set of trophies don’t retroactively unlock I have to start over anyway. B) Likewise whilst I have mods on last gen in order to earn trophies they have to be disabled (no trophy enabler mod on console I don’t think, haven’t checked in a while) broken mods haven’t impacted me. Granted I did recreate my mod setup and loaded up a modded save just to see how borked it got and as far as I could tell it was chugging along fine. Takeaway) The current gen upgrade for me really just boiled down to the graphics modes and faster load times. Mods I probably won’t get around to using until much much later which is perfect since it’s going to take time to get that situation sorted out.

I accidentally tried to get into the power armor included with the Halloween stuff. That was a mistake, it locked me into the get into PA animation because I was unable to walk around it in the animation. There’s a few terminals I cannot access either as it locks me into the animation for the terminal.

Very sad that they couldn't even bother to add an FOV slider with this

I think the halloween content is a reference to the bombs dropping a couple weeks before halloween. Its why some places are decorated with halloween decorations. So i think its a little nod to the timeline of when the bombs fell. Everyone was getting ready for the holiday.

I heard the game doesnt work on next gen if you have ps plus? I wanna buy it but i want it to work ofc :’) i currently dont have a specific ps5 version soooo

My mods were mostly weapons and armor, a few odds and ends. thankfully loaded up just fine.

As a console player, I definitely have fallout mania. Playing this game again after years

When you get these updates for ps5 games does the trophies stay the same, or do you need to start from fresh?

I think they gave us Halloween decorations because the bombs started falling (in game) Oct 23rd 2077, right before Halloween.

One of the new starting missions called when pigs fly is completely broken, it's ment to introduce new weapons, in my game it can't visually process or show any of the new weapons and all I get is a giant red exclamation point error.

While limited the mods work pretty well on Xbox. Sim Settlements is one of the best to play with.

I need help with this. On PS5 with a Fallout 4 that's never been modded, I try to do transfer save. Only one (out of MULTIPLE) comes up, it's kinda crappy since that save is literally from the beginning of the game. I have no idea why the rest of my saves won't show and i could really use some help figuring this out.

“Polishing a turd” is a crazy analogy 😂

I was glad to see old friends still remain on the PS version, like your character getting stuck running sideways and other such good fun, along with completely new bugs like your PipBoy getting locked out of use in Sunshine Tidings quest etc. Codsworth's AI is also about the worst I've seen since Diablo 2's desert merc, although I can't remember if it was like this in the OG FO4. Game looks good though.

Omg thank you for saying "Current Gen Consoles"!!!!!! I hear so many people refer to the Xbox series S and X and PS5 as next Gen consoles still, even though they have been out for years.

Fallout 4 really needed this, Finally get it at 60fps

I was going to play FO4, but I guess I'll wait six months for the community to fix their game again.

Also, they didn't fix the Automatron crash/corruption glitch on the Play Station version of the game. They only patched a half dozen or so bugs out of over 100 according to the patch notes.

My experience on PC post patch has been very solid. I only bought the game last week and I don't typically run mods on my first playthrough. Having said that, pre-patch the game would typically crash back to desktop every 3-5 hours of gameplay without fail. Post patch I've been able to play for 12+ hours straight without a single crash in sight. Also, the framerate is rock solid, no more random and frequent drops into the 30's. My only real complaints are that they did nothing for the long AF load times. I'm on a GEN 4 WD Black SN850X and load times can take up to a minute +. And, that Bethesda STILL didn't fix Weapon Debris from immediately crashing the game on RTX series cards. Yes I know there's a mod that "fixes" that by disabling Geometry Collision, but, as I've already said, I don't like to mod on my first playthrough.

I keep hearing more about these random fallout expansion mods that pop up year after year but the one I’ve seen being worked on for like 5 years now if I’m not mistaken never gets brought up. Has no one heard of fallout Miami? Sounds way more interesting to me than fallout London lol I’m sure it would be charming but Miami just seems to have a lot more interesting going on even without an apocalypse ya know

Excellent and informative as usual. The update did some very good things for consoles - particularly the XBox. The changes for PC aren't worth losing F4SE-dependant mods so I'm staying with the old version for now.

Are there any mods on PlayStation that randomize npcs with the creation club assets? Would love to see npcs roaming with added backpacks armors and skins

it was in late November when the bombs fell that's why the Halloween stuff is added AND if you talk to codsworth when you first see him again he mentions how little billy is dressed up as a "zombie" before its Halloween night

They should’ve just did what they had with Skyrim anniversary and package ALL of the creation club content in with the next gen update.

i think the halloween content in this is from the fact the bombs dropped on October 23, 2077, otherwise, i've got no idea

Just got back into fallout 76 with my buddy and it's been an blast. I'm over single players because I only hop on to play with my buddy when I have time. Do they have an mod for co-op on fallout 4?

Falcon forgot how the game starts around Halloween?

Getting new vegas on a 64 bit engine would be a game changer. Getting that game to work with mods on pc is half of the experience every time you install

As I saw in a previous comment, the Halloween stuff was added because the start of the game happens around that season. Nate has a line stating that he wants to buy a costume for Shaun.

Actually, performance mode switched to the 120 hz mode for me on PS5. So it's uber smooth

I know people really love 3 and New Vegas, but Fallout 4 has always been my go-to Fallout game. The story is, admittedly, all over the place and there is tons of jank, but having the core gameplay (combat, exploration, etc) actually be fun just trumps everything for me. I tried so hard to get into 3, and while the story seemed really interesting, it just wasn't fun to play moment to moment, and I got the impression that Vegas had a similar style. Edit: For all the people who are saying/will say I would just prefer Call of Duty, I've played almost every playthrough in 3rd person. The difference in shooting mechanics between 3 (and maybe NV) and 4 is like the difference between the mechanics of Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 & 3. Mass Effect 1 is kind of a slog for the same reason, but because the interconnected story of those games is so good, you kind of have to play the first game. That is not the case with the Fallout games.

Playstation should really allow custom assets

So, if I'm playing Fallout 4 on my PC from Steam, should i download the upadate? Will it ruin all the mods i plan on using for my next playthrough? like the unofficial bug fix and the other things

I just finished modding my F04 and stifled updates. 320 in total and smooth af. Not sure if I will upgrade unless I hear something really interesting

You made it sound like mods getting broken is specific to Bethesda games. Updates breaking mods is universal. You can't fault any dev for implementing software changes that don't account for any and all third-party modifications to it.

On the PlayStation five version I’ve already played with some mods still working fine. Like infinite caps all the weapons and guns and power armor in the cheat room etc that type thing.

Got the update for Xbox series X. The new weapons were replaced with Giant exclamation marks due to missing textures/images or whatever. I re-installed and removed creation club stuff but no luck.

not a single one of my mods broke so its dependent on what ones you have. ive seen F4SE break for others and it didnt for me so idk
