Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4 (beehaw.org)

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.

Edit: You can get it here

Instructions on how to install on Steam are here

Instructions on how to install on linux are here (though you can skip installing Buffout as the latest patch has it already). I do recommend installing it through Heroic if you have a gog account though, makes it a lot easier than Lutris ime.

Make sure you turn off weapon debris, you can do this by finding Fallout4Prefs.ini for both Fallout 4 and Fallout London (just in case) and setting the following options thusly:

[NVFlex] bNVFlexEnable=0 iQuality=0 bNVFlexInstanceDebris=0 bNVFlexDrawDebris=0

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.

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.
