Fallout 4 (Official Thread)

[Ciggavelli]

Nah let @Bathing Ape eat. I was just being greedy.

Sounds good.

Yal can probably get this today if yal pre-order at Best Buy


Got MGSV and The Taken King a day early because of their pre-ordering system saying your items are ready for pickup a day before the game comes out

 

[Ciggavelli]

I'm legit sad now. Maybe the pirates weren't testing it with the new driver. Maybe it has a profile. Please

 

[Fatboi1]

@Fatboi1 people are talking about unlocking with a vpn on the steam forums, and they are saying it's a TOS violation and you could get your account banned. I know you said it was safe, but be warned

Like I said before, Steam doesn't care about unlocking early. That'd be pathetic. Buying is a different story.

Steam is saying nvidia is being mum about SLI support. fukk, fukk, fukk!

Maybe I'll play on my ps4

Man I can't wait. Today is my Friday

Does the game release at midnight eastern, meaning here in TX I can buy it at 11?

Dude.

I have a stock 980ti with an i5 2500k @ 4.0ghz, 8gb of ram, and my 1.5 hours with it this morning was running it silky smooth at 1440p/60fps on Ultra.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Dude.

But look at Daze's pic.

If I can run 1440p all ultra, 60fps with one card, I'll be happy as hell

Reddit found a fix for sli, by forcing AFR 2

Launch Nvidia Control Panel--> Manage 3D Settings --> Program Settings --> Select Fallout 4 (Fallout4.exe)-->change SLI Rendering Mode to: Force Alternate Frame Rendering 2. it will warn you against changing this setting, just hit okey and save.

Now, Before this modification my average FPS was 30-40. After the modification, my FPS is always at 60 fps. I'm running at 2560 X 1440 with every thing on ULTRA ,FXAA, 16X filtering, except God Ray on Medium. everything else on ULTRA. My FPS never dips below 60.

I'm looking forward to the settlement stuff as well. I hope there are some options to have a villains settlement. I don't necessarily care about growing vegetables and providing shelter to vulnerable wastelanders.

In the stream I posted earlier, the guy playing walked around to find out how big the first settlement area is and its HUGE. He also is in a quest which will lead him to a new settlement. Also the gas station is another settlement. This game is crazy.

Metacritic compiles them all, so look there for all the reviews. 89 on PC and ps4
