The easiest fix is to own the game on GOG, which allows players to roll-back patches, but for Steam owners the process is a whole lot more convoluted.
… and …
A more straightforward perspective came from the team working on the enormous Fallout: London project, which was due to launch around now but has been delayed while the team works around Bethesda’s update. As the project lead says, “[the patch] has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over.”
Consider Tale of Two Wastelands if you have the Fallout and modding itches. I’ve got lifetime nexus premium back in the day so I loaded up a wabbajack playlist and was good to go in less than an hour. Otherwise, it just takes more time to follow a guide.
Be careful with your lifetime. Mine was “cancelled” after trying to do an account restore, and they gave me a few months free to compensate. Wish there was someplace else for mods that wasn’t run by scum.
It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.
Best bet it to use a VM of Windows, (or dual boot or whatever). But if you use Virtualbox, dont try to use a shared folder to make moving the mods easy, it just crashes the whole VM. My lazy work around was to use sftp to move the mods after.
I haven’t been having any major problems except for occasional framerate stuttering, but then I don’t use that many mods.
My only real complaint is that there’s really no new story content, it’s just a couple of new locations (Enclave checkpoints like FO3) some new armor and weapon types, and a handful of quests that are pretty much radiant quests with a coat of Enclave paint. Considering the download was like 10GB I was expecting more. If Google is telling me the truth, that’s bigger than all the other DLC combined.
It already is. Check it out on Nexusmods. I did so late last week and they couldnt even fill 1 row of new mods this week. Even Morrowind still gets that done.
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.

Hopefully London is around the corner
Bugthesda tried to patch something and fucked it up? Oh no, I am thoroughly shocked. Definitely didn’t see that coming.

Capital punishment or Begin Again?
Begin Again

Fallout really needs its own version of Minecraft’s Modrinth.
Does wabbajack now work on linux?
Nobody wants to make a Linux build?
I have heard of people making it work, but I can’t confirm for sure.
It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.

I thought that it was going to be new Bethesda content, but then it was just workshop content, so it’s not substantial.
Damn and the next one for Dragon’s Dogma 2.
🤦♂️
Yep, classic Bethesda.
Oh man the Starfield modding scene is going to be a fucking ghost town.
It already is. Check it out on Nexusmods. I did so late last week and they couldnt even fill 1 row of new mods this week. Even Morrowind still gets that done.
Have they released a creation kit for Starfield yet?
“Soon”. That’s all we got to go on. It’s coming “soon”.
Soon ^^TM
That never stopped any previous Bethesda title from being modded.
Nope.
Bethesda games are just a jobs program for modders at this point
It actually fixed a game breaking crash on Xbox so I’m not gonna complain.
I’m just happy to have the wasteland back

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.
Every update breaks F4SE. Same with SKSE. Just wait a few days and it’ll be fine.
yep, and im still waiting for the dev to update it (tediously painful he says.)
God dammit Todd
Oh, Bethesda. Bethesda, Bethesda, Bethesda.
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.
It just works.
