Fallout 4 1.3 Update Now Official!

[SageRaintree]

I found that uninstalling and reinstalling helped, checking game cache. If you think it could be a mod unplug them. Plug them back in a couple at a time. You will find the culprit, either leave it unplugged or delete the mod entirely. As it stands I will not download any more mods until the geck is released. I'm hoping that modders will do what Bethesda didn't. Make a boring game interesting.

I had the level-up ctd issue after this patch. Uninstalled all mods, but the issue still occurred. I did a clean install of the game, updated it back to 1.2, and the game works fine with mods again. :/ A shame since I enjoyed being able to see what settlers were assigned to with ease.

The result? Fallout 4 has turned out to be the most stable Bethesda game I have ever played. I have logged almost 200 hours of game play, and I have not experienced one single CTD. I have 32 mods installed via NMM, organize with LOOT, launch with F4SE, and run the game with ultra settings. I installed the beta patch (now out of beta) when it was first made available. The patch improved game play and graphics and was never a problem.

Thank you, Bethesda, for such a stable and fun game.

So yeah, I believe him.

defectiv wrote: Same here, did have a two CDT's after the patch but uninstalled a few mods I barely used/ wouldn't mind missing, and removed/rebuild the ini's (apart from custom) and have not seen any CTD after it. Still 54 .esp mods installed (incl. several that add items to build menu and many texture mods) and an unknown amount of non-esp mods.

No idea what mod caused it, or what ini setting. But have leveled twice, have built stuff in settlements, have seen a fair bit of combat and no CDT's all evening.

CTD's since release are minimal and up till now 100% linked to freshly installed mods, CTD's that vanished right after removing said mods.

It's possible that maybe it's CTD'd once or twice in my 243 hours of play, but those have been exceptions so infrequent that I can't honestly remember if it's happened or not.

That's not to say i haven't crashed due to mods, cause Lord knows I've crashed repeatedly to mods. But once i get the mod sorted (sometimes deleted), or the nif corrected, it's been bubblegum and lollipops. My only complaint is how the load time goes up when you have more mods installed. Hopefully the patch fixes some of that, but i can't blame the game for mods slowing my load times, because without mods the game loads rather quick.

I mean he totally could be, but people usually post to report a problem or to complain. Posts to actually praise something are rare. So maybe we should just trust it? I want to backup his claims.

I have 184 mods installed, run every 4k texture I can find - 4k helps immensely on a 55'' Low latency Sony TV (17ms) - as seen below;

http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/

When I first installed this latest patch I got a tonne of CTD's - my first ever with Fallout 4. It soon was discovered that Gore Overhaul was to blame.

Prior to patch, on everything Ultra I would average about 50fps with a i7 2600k @ 5.0gz, 16gb ram and a GTX980 (Gigabyte G1) - and low fps was around 35-40fps. I had to play with Shadow quality and distance medium and god rays to high to get a smooth 60fps with lowest fps of 58.

I now play with everything ultra, even the new ambient occlusion and particle effects on ultra and I get 60fps everywhere. I also removed a lot of the old tweaks from my ini files as I feel they were not needed anymore (such as texture loading edits etc). My loading times have improved, albeit by not much - but on average by about 5 to 7 seconds.

To get the most out of your game I would recommend using vanilla ini files with the new patch and then only edit things you need (fov, camera edits etc) and completely avoid performance ini changes. Don't do the texture load edits, don't add edits to use all threads or thread the different components of the engine. Avoid increasing gridstoload, grass distance, view distances past ultra.

Don't touch things like bforcesmoothness (which has NOTHING to do with your mouse)...also be careful using things like the Geforce guide to tweaking FO4, as while most of the edits there each only consume 1-5 frames per second, eventually the 8-9 edits they recommend eat up 10-20 fps! The guys who make those tweaks have a gtx980ti as their reference guide - so be wary.

These edits will only slow down your game - trust me!

I wish the best of luck to the rest of you - happy gaming!

Regards,

Tony

P.S If you guys have a Nvidia card, try changing max pre rendered frames to 1 and see if that improves any fps, or try a lower setting like 4. Lower settings will help remove stutters but increase input lag.

Another neat trick that increased some fps for me and eliminated stuttering was playing in fullscreen windowed mode.

Lastly, try to untick motion blur and see if that helps or not.

Take care all!

Nothing changed after adding mods.

kebrus wrote: I'm with you, 55 active mods, everything has been smooth, I did however encounter a few bugs here and there, but nothing major, I actually got that warp bug they talk in the changelog once. I got about 2 crashes, but not to desktop, it was overheating issues. I do however have a persistent CTD bug from badly managing mods, basically I have a scrappable item from a mod that was changed or doesn't exist anymore and if I try to scrap it it CTD. So yeah, my fault on that one. And to be fair I don't remember patches giving extra high-end graphical options before.

JimmyRJump wrote: I can vouch for the stability. First play-through took me just above 410 hours of gameplay without a single CTD (no mods installed).

Am now at 512 hrs, 47mins into my second run with 62 mods installed, mostly graphics enhancing and settlement add-ons and experience the occasional CTD; the latter mostly due to a QWERTY to AZERTY conversion script in AKH (needed it because when attributing the "Z" and "Q" keys for respectively forward and left-strafing, I was only able to go backwards and to the right when in building mode).

Not a big deal as I quicksave a lot. So, yeah, I'm happy with how the game runs smoothly :)

Eruadur wrote: Not that many mods installed, but ever since I installed the game it was pretty much smooth sailing from the start. Having over 250hrs on the clock and only a few minor bugs, that's all.

Installed this update : no problems at all...

Using True Storms, Darker Nights, Fr4nsson's Light Tweaks, Improved Map with Visible Roads, Full Dialogue Interface, My HUD, Radiant Clouds and Fogs, WET, Interiors Enhanced, and the three Vivid textures mods..

So yeah, stable game so far, happy with the update.

EDIT : did lvl up, also no problems... People with lvl up crashes should really check their mods

I only experience instability when I have SLI turned on for this game. For some reason, the game starts cooking both cards, whereas one card alone runs sufficiently cool. Only skyrim and fallout 4's engine do this. Otherwise, rock stable.

One thing though - it seems to me that the gunshots sounds much more lame than they did before. Rifles, handguns - the lot! Anyone else noticed thsi?

ya

[dantekral]

This patch gives me huge fps.

[beith93]

Guys if anyone is having a ctd five seconds after loading a save after this patch was installed, just delete the INI files and let them be replaced with new ones when the game starts, then edit the prefs one for mods but not the custom INI. file. Delete the custom one if it appears. No ctd and mods stil work for me least.

[cormell]

A number of hot keys are disabled and bindings gone after this patch. For example, in workshop placement of a new object, the "F" which rotates objects -- say a bed your trying to squeeze into a shack -- no longer works. "At least do no harm."

 

No problems with CTD that others noticed. FO4 is sooo much better tha FNV in that respect.

[mutieblaster]

1.3 just doesn't work for me, mods or not. I've tried every fix going, and nothing seems to work.

Luckily I found a way to roll back to an earlier version, so now I can finally play again.

 

As far as I'm aware, Bethesda have still yet to make any acknowledgement of all the issues this patch has caused for many of us, a week after it's release (and forced installation, thanks Steam).

 

Hopefully we'll get a patch that actually works before we see any DLC, or it's bye-bye Bethesda games for me.

There don't seem to be a lot of people experiencing issues out of the total number of people playing. Of those, most have used or use mods so.. they have no right to blame the game for issues introduced via using mods made with plenty of the game references undecoded. So yea. Also remember, using DLC or mods with outdated versions of the game won't really be a thing.
