However, cannot seem to see this update on steam.. even uninstalled the patch and installed it back, it's still 1.3 . Anything wrong, or is this intended?I saw it downloading in my Steam Library when Steam updated to the Hotfix, but it's not listed in Steam notes or anywhere that I could find. So yeah... it's an "invisible" update and didn't change the version number. Edited January 20, 2016 by Graxster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuzi127 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 For some reason after updating to 1.3.45 or .47 I would crash right after hitting play in the launcher; after some testing I found that having either sResourceDataDirsFinal= or bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 in the .ini was making it crash. Going back to the older method of adding everything to the resourcedata line fixed it, so for now I'm using that. Anyone else having this issue/know how to fix it?

MSmith2004 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Seems to have cut my load times in half. No issues with mods either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I managed without it in the past.All my Bethesda games are spread out across 2 SSDs & loading times are 15 secs or less in most cases with my extremely high-end desktop PC. I have plans to replace my 2 TB HDD with a 2 TB SSD late next month, which will set me back $700.00. Well worth the investment for the massive performance boost when gaming alone. SSDs are a MUST in this modern gaming PC age. Games are only going to get bigger/become more memory/resource-hungry in the future & SSDs will help lessen the time it takes for games to load. Even on console, SSDs are a near must-have. I have an SSD in my PS3 with plans to add one to my PS4 as well. HDDs will become obsolete as SSDs get cheaper in the very near future. Might as well invest in an SSD sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dZastreux Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) This very annoying bug is still there ( not only "long loading times", for me, but "endless loading times" ! Unless it might unstuck after 5 minutes... Won't check. )...In my case it happens only ( sometimes ) when trying to go into an interior worldspace from "outside" ( or the other way out ) : Openeing the door will trigger an endless ( often blank : No model won't even show ) loading screen.Forcing the game to close, restarting, and then opening the same door again will just work in approx. 20 sec.It's not happening during laoding savegames or fast-travelling, only in opening doors from a worldspace to another.( Which is, by the way, a real pain in this game, even when it works, as the gamedesign often forces you to travel back a lot between worldspaces and sometimes to meet people inside buildings you can just fastravel outside of : Twice loading time for free and, for me, a chance the last loading won't even work at all, which I'd be aware of once more than 1 minute would have been spent waiting for nothing !How to use F5 in a game every minute... )I'm using ENB .91 and Shadowboost to get less stuttering ( another joy of this Fallout 4 ), but I tried without that and encountered the same bugs.I also have some texture replacement mods installed, but as it happens randomly and not typically in some places, this bug seems very game related. I'd say it happen often after approximatively half an hour of gameplay ( meanwhile travelling doors will open correctly ).Beta patch, yes, I know... Still : Same kind of loading bugs happen since the very beginning... Very ( very ) broken game.I'm playing and modding Bethesda's game since more than ten years ( Morrowind )I even became developper because of their games ! - and this one, even if rich of great contents and ideas, is the most buggy I've ever seen coming from them.Perhaps even the most buggy from all games I've been played to be honnest.I just can't understand how they managed to go bad so far with all the money and experience they have gathered all these years.( Not saying this as mad because of this bug, but really because of the incredible amount of all other bugs and unpolished and unfinsihed and poorly or badly done features : This is the first time I ever wonder if I will bother make a mod for a game from Bethesda. Usually, I always do because I love their games. Perhaps this time I won't, even if Fallout 4 has more qualities than their previous games, it mainly also has many many more problems : Too much time wasted yet in just trying to play it to think about trying to mod it... ) Edited January 21, 2016 by dZastreux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainframe Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) blah... Am I the only person here whos tired of trying to that all elusive perfect modded game? I speak as a player/smalltime modder since Morrowind. I remember dumping money into a system for Oblivion..hearing oh get a ATI card & ur set. Blah blah blah. I've built system after system & I know it's my fault. I do. I just can't run these games @ default settings. Their ulgy..just plain darn ulgy. You have LOD popin (which drives me nuts!) and an assortment of nonsense that comes with this buggy engine. Build a game with a 32bit exe..why not? have some whacky built in memory limit that crashes your game..sure thing! Bethesda I'm tired. So tired. I want to play your games. And yeah I know ok. I'm adding more stress on myself with the mods. I get it. I've tried to go clean. To stop abusing myself with these delicious little community induced acid trips. Oh lord have I. But I can't. I can't stop letting modders fix issues that you yourself have ever even commented on. So yeah I deal with the slow texture loading in F04 with ini settings. And I deal with shadows that tank my GTX Titan (bought to run Skyrim @ max modded goodness..and couldn't due to that memory limit)..and Godrays..oh Godrays how you tank my system but how I want the eye candy.... Ok rant aside. please on the next game get a new freaking engine. STOP talking about the new engine your using when we all know it's the same pos when new paint! Oh and load times are about the same here after the beta upgrade..thou I'm using a regular HDD Edited January 21, 2016 by Mainframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
