Yes, I said it and mean it.
It has ‘NPCs’ that feel way more alive than anything bethesda ever put out and even an anarchist faction that so far acts like actual anarchists do/would in real life not the common idea of anarchists in most media.
Apart from the ocassional crashes (even with the patch), this is a great game/mod and I highly recommend trying it out if you have Fallout 4.
The bar is pretty low, we’re talking Bethesda.
That being said, I have yet to hear anything negative about F: London.
I tried to play London and it crashed constantly. Now, that’s not all that different an experience from playing any Bethesda game, but it did kind of kill any interest I had in the mod.
I have to try again on my system with AMD 6750 video card, on my other one with Nvidia 3070 it keeps crashing every five minutes and I was already a couple of hours in and liking it.
out of curiosity, weapon debris -option enabled if you check the base game’s launcher -> options? that causes mad crashes on nvidia cards.
Disabled it but did not solve the crashes unfortunately.
Which version? The latest version includes Buffout 4 which helps some. However, yeah it crashes a lot for me, but thankfully I save a lot and have the patience to just reload. I understand not everyone does though.
It was very early on, the first week or so after it released. I’m sure they’ve fixed a lot of the bugs but honestly I just haven’t really been motivated to try it out again.
Didn’t Beth’ update F4 just before F:London dropped, redering the Mod partly incompatible?
Yes, that’s why it is necessary to downgrade Fallout 4 and there are instructions on how to do so on github, that and/or you can use Folon’s downgrader.
Yeah, if you have it installed still you can manually add Buffout 4, if you would like to.
I do understand not wanting to try something again after a bad experience though.
The only negative thing really is the crashing. It still happens a lot for me even with the patch.
the discord for the mod is really helpful, and has a pretty smart bot to decipher crashlogs. Definitely solved some issues I had. Recommended, unless discord is a nono, which is fair.
I do some “community service” over there and help out others where I can. And seems like most crashes are either some lingering mods from old-fallout4 install, creation club mods (any cc*.* files in fallout/data -dir, or old config files in mydocs/mygames/fallout4) or “bug fix mods” intended for 1.00/1.01 folon versions, and lastly: weapon debris -option enabled - that causes crashes outright with nvidia cards.
edit: also “long loading times fix” -mod is a total nono, there’s better and less files corrupting options out there (highfpsphysics)
Yeah discord is a no no for me for three reasons:
I try not to use proprietary things,
I don’t like messengers without (audited and good) end-to-end encryption,
I get overwhelmed easily in groups and bad things happen.
Still, appreciate the recommendation and suggestion 🙂.
Mine was a fresh install of both fallout 4 and fallout london and hasn’t had any mods added to either, so it is unlikely any of those are the reason it crashes.
Edit: I will look at that option but I have an AMD GPU, so that shouldn’t be an issue if it’s only nvidia.
not 100% sure if the weapon debris is nvidia only issue, but I’ve only seen the crashlog sniffing bot mentioning it when people have had nvidia cards.
I’ll try turning it off. Thank you so much for the help!
