Fallout 4’s Next-Gen Patch Forced The Delay
Newer Doesn’t Always Mean Better
Following the announcement that Bethesda was dropping a Next-Gen update forFallout 4just days after the scheduled release ofFallout London, the team behind the project ultimately decided to postpone the launch.The reasoning behind the decision was sound as a substantial patch would likely require several aspects of the mod to be rewritten to compensate for any changesto the vanilla game. As it turns out, Team FOLON predicted correctly because the Next-Gen patch proved so disastrous that theFallout 4community actually began creating mods torevert the game back to an earlier version.
The Next-Gen patch ended up breaking many ofFallout 4’s most popular mods, prompting players to request thatBethesda stop releasing updatesfor the nearly decade-old game. Aside from the addition of a few new items and minor questlines, the patch was regarded as unnecessary given that it rendered the game unplayable for many in the weeks following its release. While many mods have been fixed to run effectively with the latest version, many were unfortunately left by the wayside.
Whether theplanned release ofFallout Londonhas been made to work with the latest update remains to be seen butone has to imagine that Team FOLON has done its due diligene in tweaking the mod.Fallout 4can be a difficult game to mod given its often finicky nature but the general flexibility of the Creation Engine allows creators to pull off some small miracles.Londonis shaping up to be just that, serving asan almost non-canon continuation of a franchisethat’s recently experieced a surge in popularity.
