Fallout London Overhaul Mod Delayed (No Current Window) - Will Wait for Next-Gen Patch - Will be Hosted on GOG, not Nexus Mods

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?




While it sounds disappointing on paper, they're doing the right thing by waiting for the next-gen patch to make sure none of the mods it incorporates break the game after the update.

The guy is very earnest in his explanation in the video, highly recommend to give it a view.

And they also confirmed that the mod is too big to bring to console (even though the console version has mod support).

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Yeah I don't buy it telling modders they are too much of a pea brain to stop an update or use an old version of the game in order to run the mod isn't a good excuse if you ask me I would prefer it if they simply said they missed their launch date because they are still working on the project.

The GOG version of the game exists right there without the force update complications that the Steam version has.

So much a version update change can cause issues. Windows 11 and Mac OS still identify as previous versions under the hood because it would break so many things.

Have you tried modding Skyrim nowadays? I keep getting notification for updates on nexus about new versions of mods getting bugfixes due to the game itself getting constantly updated.

Some mods are still stuck on the Special Edition version. While it is possible to make London only work on the current version of the game, some of the base features of the next gen patch are enticing for PC players such as widescreen support.

They are free to do what they want of course but nothing is stopping them from releasing the mod as is and making an update for it later....that is unless my initial suspicion is correct and their current build isn't up the scratch.

Speaking for myself non of the new features apply to me so the delay is meaningless on my end.

It is what it is thou there's nothing to be done about it.

This so called next gen update will nuke off the community for fallout 4 pc to dust. So many past mods won’t be usable and since this game is old plus Bethesda reputation has plummeted, most modders won’t be bothered to update those original fallout 4 mods, so basically many mods won’t be playable anymore, steam has no option to stop games updates, all they have is stop update till you launch the game or you just turn steam offline forever. If Bethesda cares they would at least put the update on modding sites this is optional, otherwise this is goodbye to fallout 4.

GOG is set to host Fallout: London. This is among the first releases of its kind, with previous ambitious fan projects like Fallout: The Frontier and New California both launching via Nexus Mods, not long-running gaming storefronts. The problem is that Fallout: London was just too big for Nexus, so it needed a much larger site to rush in and save the day.

From what I've seen there's not really any benefit and most people just downgrade to pre-update

Yeah, but i'm a power armor guy, so i would like to use the new Enclave ones and some newer mods will require the updated version at some point.

People are saying you will be able to install the mod even if you own the Steam version of the game. GOG generally plays nice so I'd expect it to be so.

Everything.

What is needed to run Fallout: London?​

Fallout London requires Fallout 4 and all of the DLC. There are no plans to release a ‘lite’ version as it would require major reworking of our mod.

Can't you just roll back on PC? Given that most this update does was already there with mods... why do we need this update on PC? It should be possible to play the "legacy" version. There are many games on Steam allowing this. Then they wouldn't have to deal with Bethesdas shit.

Ohh this guy with the bandaged face is taken from the old British TV-film Threads (1984). It shows the last hours before and the consequences of a nuclear strike during the Cold War. This was the scariest thing I've seen in my life. Whenever the topic of nuclear war comes up, I'm having flashbacks to watching this movie.

Define PC. On GoG - yes. On Steam - have to jump through hoops if you already updated. If you haven’t updated, then can just launch through Vortex or Mod Organizer.

Bethesda could have just made older version available in the beta branch like many companies do, but that would have taken them 2 hours of Intern work so clearly too rich for their blood.

They are still salty about New Vegas being vastly better than any Fallout game they themselves have shat out. And you ask them to publish yet another Fallout thing that will completely eclipse their own stuff.
