My "nExT gEn" update experience:

  1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
  2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
  3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
  4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
  5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

    The updates will continue until morale improves.

    Reason #150 on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

    Bethesda despises it so much that it'll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

    No Todds, No Masters

    Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

    They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.

    It took that time before the update for me as well. 1-2 minutes for every loading screen. There was a mod for that (before the next-gen update) that you could not load via nexus, bc the setup was a little more conplex, but it worked really well (see https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 )

    The method of this mod was to speed up the fps only while in the loading screen to 300-350 bc the loading times were somehow tied to the fps. Well done Bethesda.

    Alt-tab until you hear the music stop and it will load quicker.

    That is the hackiest workaround I've ever heard lol but I will give it a shot, thanks.

    This is starting to feel like their way of blocking Fallout London from releasing indefinitely.

    bethesda has historically hated mods and the people who make them. its why their games have such a small modding scene

    let me guess, they still did not learn to add a beta branch for the old version after all the shit with skyrim mods and anniversary edition

    I am so glad that Irongate is being much smarter with Valheim. You can opt into the beta and also choose older versions of the game to downgrade to, all within Steam. Very helpful for an early-access game with tons of mods and sporadic updates.

    Yeah I know, the show came out and everyone is hyped because of that. But maybe put those resources into fixing shit in Starfield?

    Starfield can't be fixed. The game's issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they'd have to effective make a whole new game.

    Don't you know Bethesda? They won't even fix bugs that are thoroughly documented by the community and take 5 minutes to fix. They're not going to fix a game that is missing entire features.

    Leave Bethsoft alone guys. They're all out of fun game ideas and need something to do.

    Todd Howard: we hear you fans, we are currently working on updates for Morrowind, Starfield and Elder Scrolls Online which will break add-on/mod support and ruin the frame rate for those games instead of just FO4!

    Shouldn't they just beg Bethesda to incorporate the script extenders directly into the new releases or the script extender devs to update?

    I play vanilla. As long as the updates stop my constant crashes on Linux, update away.

    Still haven't updated to the new update. You just have to swap an app manifest file, takes 5 seconds.

    I'm not sure why people with modded setups updated, I guess they had yet to learn that lesson.

    So, they're giving it the Skyrim treatment. I think it's received about 10 version updates since AE launched like 2 years ago. I ended up downloading a modlist that was 1.5.97 (the original version of Skyrim SE) and ended up sticking with it since it's future proofed.

    Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard. All companies I no longer spend my money on.
