Bugs, bugs, bugs everywhere. I hate bugs.
Good news: I played something other than Grim Dawn past this week: (Modded) Fallout 4.
Bad news: I had that bug where you press play, the game starts to launch, and then nothing. Even when the game wasn’t modded yet.
Better news: I reinstalled the game and got it to launch consistently as vanilla, before modding it for my playthrough.
Worse news: The bug came back with a vengeance and sent my first eight hours of gameplay down the drain.
Best (?) news: I killed the bug again (hopefully permanently this time) and restarted a new playthrough. I have another video for the new playthrough that I need to edit and upload– it would be done already, but I decided to try a new video editor. It has what feels like a steep learning curve, but I hope to be done by the end of today.
It wasn’t that great of a loss, honestly. I was growing mildly irritated with how my Sole Survivor looked with mods, I distributed my points that I got for levelling up in a way that wasn’t the best in hindsight. and nearly half of that eight hours was just me puttering around settlements, building things. In either case, I’m going to edit and upload the recordings from the dead playthrough over the next week or two, so that it won’t be a total waste.
I did play more Overwatch (surprise surprise), but not as much as I did the past couple of weeks; recording was scarce because one, didn’t play much, two, the majority of my play time was with other people in a voice chat that I didn’t want to record, and three, I got a(nother) bug where the FOV for Highlight/PotG/killcams is screwed up and doesn’t fix itself until you restart the game. And restarting the game clears out your highlights. So. shrugs What can you do?
That’s all that I’ve got for this week, so I’m off again!
I cannot recommend mods with Fallout 4. I had mod installed (they added gameplay, not cheats), but after some major update it caused the game to not unlock achievements. Bethesda posted, that this was intended, only Vanilla player are getting achievements.
I’m aware of the achievement thing. There’s a mod that utilizes the script extender to re-enable them. According to the comments, people have had issues with getting it to work, but I can’t say if that’s a mod issue or a user issue. It personally works for me; I had an easy achievement to test it on (Future Retro), and it unlocked on my modded game. The [M] that is supposed to be on modded saves is also not there.
oh nice, I will check that out, when I start playing Fallout 4 again. I decided to put it on hold until all DLCs are released and the Season Pass gets affordable again.
I regret it, that I didn’t buy it, when it was at a base price of $30 and even got discounted a few cents.
That’s hilarious.
Kind of weird that they allow console commands to be used and still get achis but not mods though.
I know. It’s ridiculous that if I wanted, I could run through the whole game with god mode on and get all the achievements, but if all I wanted was the unofficial patch, the achievements get locked without a mod like the one I mentioned installed with it.
