Bethesda’s launch of Fallout 4’s next-gen update has been marred by a slew of issues, particularly for PC users. The update has been met with widespread criticism due to a host of problems, such as broken modded saves, distorted UI on widescreen monitors, and frequent game crashes. Adding to the frustration is the lack of substantial improvements for PC players, making the update appear largely insignificant.
After a lengthy wait, the next-gen update for Fallout 4 has finally been released by Bethesda, marking the company’s return to a reputation for buggy releases. PC players have encountered numerous issues since the update’s launch, with reports indicating that existing mods have been rendered inoperable. Some players have even faced difficulty loading their games without deleting and reinstalling all previously downloaded Creation Club content.
Additionally, non-modded saves have also been impacted, with the game failing to recognize official DLC expansions. Widescreen support, a promised feature of the next-gen update, has fallen flat as users now contend with stretched out UI. The need for a user-made patch to address this issue has further compounded the frustration, especially considering that widescreen players had previously relied on such patches.
Despite these issues, the next-gen update for Fallout 4 offers minimal benefits for PC users, prompting questions about the rationale behind its release. The update appears rushed and underwhelming, leading to speculation about its hasty rollout to align with the Fallout TV show and capitalize on the increased player interest in the Fallout series. However, the outcome has left many users questioning whether the update was truly worth it in the end.
