    I wish I hadn’t installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it’s actually worse. I think they’ve increased the graphical fidelity, but it’s come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn’t fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

    Bethesda has so far stayed quiet about the update’s reception, so there’s no clue as to whether an official fix or even an option to rollback may be forthcoming.

    My bet is they “fix” it in 6 months once most mods have been patched, this breaking them all over again.

      Will they be patched? It’s not like it’s a current game. Came out like 9 years ago. I imagine a lot of these mods have been abandoned

        I mean, technically yeah - the criticism here is just that Bethesda chose the worst possible time to drop an unnecessary patch considering the influx of new players from the TV show’s success.

          Game came out 8 years ago

          How many mod authors are gonna come back years after the last patch to fix their mods?

          Bethesda screwed over the modding community

      You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.

      It’s just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn’t even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.

      I’ll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.

        I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

    What’s wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

      Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.

      And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.

    I’m on PC and I haven’t noticed anything changed. Literally. I don’t notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0’s and don’t do anything.

    Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

      The primary issue on PC is that it broken F4SE, breaking a large number of mods and delaying Fallout London, a mod they poached developers from.

      That, and loading times in some areas are suddenly a minute long.
