Diamond Member Pelican Press 0 Posted April 26, 2024 Diamond Member Share Posted April 26, 2024 Fallout 4’s Next-Gen Update Is a Broken Mess Fallout fans waited years for the next-gen update for Fallout 4. From the moment it was teased, Bethesda Game Studios went relatively silent on the topic, focusing instead on more important projects, like Starfield. Yesterday, the Fallout 4 next-gen update was deployed across all platforms (finally) but it hasn’t proven to be the monumental update fans were expecting. In short, the Fallout 4 next-gen update is a buggy, broken mess. I sampled the next-gen update on Xbox Series X and marvelled at the boosted frame rate that I received through the new Performance Mode, and then was taken aback at the number of new quests that popped up in my Pip-Boy. That was where the excitement ended, though. Players worldwide are experiencing all kinds of issues with the Fallout 4 next-gen update, ranging from broken mod load orders to corrupted saves (some of which have been running for hundreds of hours). PC players are complaining that ultrawide support, a new feature added with the next-gen update, doesn’t work properly, and in the densest areas of the game, the frame rate is still experiencing drawbacks. It doesn’t end there, though. It was recently discovered that players enjoying Fallout 4 on PS Plus aren’t eligible for the upgrade everyone thought was free. There’s a price tag attached – which Bethesda Game Studios is reportedly working on now to alleviate that particular issue. Users on Steam Deck have reported having their settings wiped by the update, which is another issue. Also, the creators of Fallout London recently revealed that the sudden drop of the next-gen upgrade has thrown their project into disarray, forcing them to postpone it mere days before it was due to be released. In the last few weeks, Fallout has been on a path of resurgence, skyrocketing up the charts based on the success of the Fallout TV show. This is a punch in the gut from Bethesda amid that popularity *****, that’s for sure.
