    Yes, rock solid 60fps. I had to make a change in one of the files to get it to properly fill out my ultra wide screen.

    Any one running AMD? The patch broke my game!!! As well as AMDs new dricer 16.1.1 which was supposed to add a CC profile. IS there a way to un-install the Patch?

    All I get is MASSIVE artifacts, floating heads, broken terrain etc. Completely unplayable. I am very sad. My 2 x 7970ms have been crushing it before the patch.

    The new patch has allowed me to run stock FO4 at 2103x1183 with Ultra settings [Max all incl HBAO+, high godrays] and gridstoload=7.

    Lowest FPS I could get on top of Bunker Hill.

    The Far Harbor DLC looks like fun - can't wait to play Fallout 4 again (whenever I can upgrade to Pascal laptop)

    As I look up from my total Emerson in Skyrim, and my over 400 mods, I smile and rejoice that new DLC has arrived for FO4. I nod and acknowledge Cait, Piper, Curie and my 300 FO4 mods and step into the breach. (I think I've gone over the deep end) o_O

    After enjoying FO3 New Vegas and its ability to make hours fly by, I've added this to my wish list although I'll have to upgrade my gaming rig to let it stretch its legs.

    Currently running a AMD 7770 GPU but holding off an upgrade due to the new developments in the graphics card world - buts it's not easy, I want to play!

    Is it kind of important to play the old FO games first? I own them all but I've never played them. I started with the original and ummm... yeah that lasted all of an hour before I got frustrated and quit.

    I don't think so. I only played New Vegas for a couple dozen hours before FO4. I think it stands on it's own just fine. I own FO1 & 2 but they are on my ever growing backlog list. I guess when I retire I will just play games until I die trying to finish them all.

    No, Bugthesda butchered the lore, so it's not required.

    Has anyone managed to restore the houses in the Sanctuary? The 5 settlers I have keep banging away on the walls but the houses never get any better. I'll stop feeding them if they don't do some proper work!

    I've cleaned up all the scrap & tidied the place up but it still looks like a slum!

    There's a great video by youtuber norespawns on this -

    All of his Fallout build videos are great, highly recommend them if you want to make something a bit more polished than the standard stuff

    Better? It would be better if they were demolishing them for scrap.

    ... and if this is indicative of the average wastelander's productivity, it's no wonder everything is still crap 200 years later.

    Its true, nothing changes so I don't know why they even bother!

    The game designers should have thought of this as its a side part of the game some people seem to enjoy judging by the amount of youtube videos of how players have done their own modifications.

    Has anyone encountered the slow loading times when entering a new zone? I've added a 2nd SSD and moved the game along with Steam to the new SSD and they are both working well but entering a new zone is taking quite some time to complete - it also seems to be quite random.
