Basic functions that should have been there or worked properly to begin with are now “features?”
Thats the future of gaming. Correction would be more appropriate. Iam not buying this game now, I will wait for several patches. I made the mistake with W3.
Frame rate seems to have gotten worse? Anyone else getting that?
A Beta patch, seriously? Does that mean the patch is an unpolished mess too, and will need corrections later?
Bethesda usually does it that way. They release a beta patch very early in development to test it on as many configurations as possible and when everythings fine they release it to the public. And after some optimization to console. Probably the best way for an open world game like fallout 4.
you need to mod the patch lol
nothing about the FPS/phycis fix or the god awful menus? the 2 things from keeping from playing this.
They’re counting on mods to fix those.
well inventory sure, but i never see a mod fixing the physics. Simply put the game is beyond broken on a high end machine.
such a great day for pantie sniffers, thks bethesta
Does anyone know if the patch helps with the random CTD’s? They really really bug me.
