Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Gets Release Date

Glad that not a single mod on Xbox is broken after the patch. I think only mods on PC that require the Script Extender are broken.

Btw running from Sanctuary (top left) to the bottom right to snatch the Luck and Agility Bobblehead is not that hard. Just use the river with Rad X and Rad away.

One thing I haven’t determined is how do we select the games new settings. Or are they automatically selected depending on our set up?

Edit: found it.

So do you have to set Xbox to 1440p too for that? If you want the ultra settings?

Quality mode is ultra settings. Normally is 30fps, if you have a 120hz TV it’s 40fps, if you are at 1440p it’s 60fps

Oh, then quality mode sounds like it could be worth it. In your opinion do you see a significant visual difference between the two?

Still, 1440p at 60fps? This when apparently a mod brings you 4K/60fps with ultra settings. But that can’t be right. There’s no reason BGS wouldn’t do this if it’s possible.

Maybe the mod can’t deliver 4k/60 @ ultra consistently under the worst case scenario so they don’t do it. Who knows.

And I haven’t played the update so I don’t know how big the difference is between the modes.

Ok, that’s a nice effect. When using NAT(Natural and Atmospheric commonwealth) mod, if you put on sun glass the screen becomes darker.

But others in that thread say it’s working fine. So…

Sucks that the Quality mode is busted, but Downtown Boston is a hellhole packed with buildings and raiders, super mutants, gunners, ghouls around every corner. That gets worse when the brotherhood arrives and starts flying their Verti birds into the city to fight the raiders, super mutants, gunners and ghouls. Throw in wondering merchants, my Minutemen every once in a while.

Also, I guess just continue to use the 60fps mod.

You are using that mod that apparently brings 4K with ultra settings?

If I go for another playthrough I’d be fine with mods too. I think I have unlocked most achievements, but if not, meh anyway.

Yes, It’s been the best way to experience Fallout 4 for a bit now. I’m also using a mod called Vivid Fallout AIO 1K, which adds new textures at 1K that have a fair bit more detail than Fallout 4 generally has. The mentioned NAT above for the look, also the fact that it adds brightness, contrast and gamma, exposure and saturation settings with some other effects throw in for good measure.

Super Mutant Preston Grarvey killed most of the raiders as I was sneaking around to get into the speak easy to get a machete.

I’ll definitely be restarting, but I really needed to see the guy up close first. There’s a bit of a glitch that when he looks to the side his mouth opens an closes super fast when talking.

I tested the game myself now and there is zero difference between performance mode off and on. It definitely isn’t 40fps, so quality mode is not working for me. I mean I assume turning performance mode off means it’s in quality mode, right?

Everyone is saying that the option doesn’t work and it’s forced into performance mode right now

I saw a few on Twitter saying they saw a difference, but seems more like that’s probably wrong if so many do have this issue.

It does surprise me how these things happen. Isn’t this what QA is for?

This stupid thing has to be my main reason why I love creation club, and likely will keep supporting it even if a mod just straight up ads a free version.

Sooooooooo…not broken after all? They confused us because the patch notes said 40fps, didn’t it?

Wasn’t it DF that said it was broken? Did they test the texture quality between the 2 if they did?

Added around 1gb mods, mostly graphics and lightning. 10h in and 1 crash when I was moving too fast in pip boy. And apparently they fixed the crashes in Boston ? Very satisfied with the update.

DF was testing vs. the patch notes which said 30/40 fps in quality at 60/120hz
