Fallout London is Out, and With It a Slew of Issues, But Is it a Surprise?

After a long wait, Fallout London was launched yesterday for fans of the series, and it promised to bring a ton of new content to the title. Set in London, the game is a massive undertaking by Team FOLON that is a work of passion from the developers.

Considering it’s come from a small team that has worked over the past three years to use various Fallout assets to create the experience, there will be some hiccups along the way. People who have played the mod have shared the issues they have faced, but this was not entirely unexpected.

Fans Share Early Experiences and Issues When Playing Fallout: London

The modding community has breathed new life into many games. Skyrim, launched in 2011, can be modded to such a degree that it looks like a current-generation title! The newest mod for Fallout 4 has the potential to do the same if the team can iron out some issues.

The complaints for Fallout London started much before the mod was released, with people in the community speaking out about the delays and lack of clear communication from the team. More understanding fans pointed out that this is a big undertaking being handled by a small team, so there are going to be inevitable issues. Not to mention, it’s being done for free!

Now that fans have access to the mod, the complaints have not stopped, as people point out some issues they have encountered.

Fallout London is pretty terrible so far, lots of crashing and an awfully long intro. lots and lots of being stopped to hear bad dialogue. im gonna finish it just out of curiosity but not a good start

One tweet stated they witnessed some issues encountered by a streamer playing the mod.

One streamer states they want to play the game but find the process of downgrading the game from their Steam version a bit too tedious.

Fallout London. Although I have steam version & install process is quite annoying and really CBA. Need to downgrade so will ***** with all the mods and setups I’ve already done. Wish I owned it on GOG instead

Some people have also found the loading times to be an issue, as well as the layout of some assets in the game.

For now my biggest issue with Fallout London appart from the loading times(which i can’t really blame em for it, every total conversion tend to have this issue) is the scarcity in benches

Like i’ve been playing my character for five hours and i’ve seen only ONE ******* workbench

It seems the game crashing is also an issue for some, but there appears to be an easy enough fix for it as well.

Well it’s safe to say I’m having fun in Fallout London. Had issue’s with crashing but I downloaded the buffout 4 mod and things have been stable sense. Will be returning after work tomorrow. remember, Mind The Gap.

It’s important to keep in mind that the mod is a free addition to the game created by a small team, so there are going to be issues, especially at launch.

Fallout London Gets Competition for Attention with the Fan-Made Fallout 2 Remake

Fallout London‘s issues should be resolved over time. | Credits: Team FOLON

Team FOLON can rest easy and work at their own pace on the issues, as there is a new addition coming to the franchise that should excite fans. Fallout 2 is getting a remake, but with a different perspective! Players can now enjoy the classic title in first-person mode, replicating the same experience of many beloved games in the franchise.

The remake has made some strong progress, and this might be bad news for Bethesda. The studio has been under ***** from the community for several decisions, including the underwhelming release of Starfield and the recent shutting down of three softwork studios.

If two mods can offer more content and a better experience than an entire studio that has worked on a project for years, it doesn’t set a good image for the company. With modders offering higher value than some developers, Bethesda has more than just rival companies to watch out for.
