Meh most if the time it was fine but I didn't like it tanking performance every once in a while. It would dip a full 15 through 20 FPS under certain conditions.
Physx is different from Flex.
Ah thanks, didn't know this isn't Physx.

Did I imagine destructible environments on the way?

Damn, nothing about the Ballistic Weave glitch. Shame. Wonder if I'll have to wait until mods on the Xbox One to enable it.
Are you KIDDING me?

They HBAO+ and Weapon Debris are awesome. Been loving those additions.
Flex, not Physx.
Particle simulation are indeed GPU compute driven like Physx a few years back.
Results are mixed.

To clarify, Fallout 4 will not use my dedicated PhysX card in any way, but the debris effect will be hardware accelerated on my main GPU?
The way I understand is that Flex is a superior form of GPU Physx that does not require as much work on the dev's part.

Using a dedicated Physx card is a very bad idea, in too many cases the cons far outweigh the benefits. I doubt Flex will use your Physx card.

Would be nice to have this up and done. Put the game on the shelf for a little while to play some other PS4 games but about ready to return to it.

Anyone else getting a huge FPS hit with 1.3? I regularly ran everything maxed around 60fps 1440p and now i'm hitting 30-40 and sometimes under 30 with HBAO+ and weapon debris :/

It's pretty easy. Sunshine tidings co op. 7 settlers. One on food, 6 on level 3 clothing/food/clinics. Lots of decorations. Lots of beds, food, water, security available. Stand around with the stores for around 3 hours and it'll pop.
Got it last night.
1.3 has been available as a beta patch for weeks

1.3 busted almost all unofficial mod support. Game now insta crashes to desktop if you change the .ini files that used to enable mods. Nobody talking about this.

Well, there goes Bethesda's spot in PC gaming if they double-down on BethesdaNet to the point of forcing all mods to go through it.
Pretty much noone will go with the "mods will fix it" excuse anymore if Bethesda games stop being mod friendly.
WAIT, hold on though, you sure that there isn't a mod dependency that isn't being fulfilled somewhere?

There are posts confirming the same on nexus forums, loads of mods are not working with the latest patch.
I followed gopher's videos exactly, reinstalled and tried again, the game crashes even without any mods enabled.
Closest I could get is adding a custom weapon to the game but it was invisible, the model and textures were hidden. That was without the .ini tweaks enabled so that it would at least start.
Theres threads about it here:
http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/3495-fallout-4-technical-support/
Was wondering if I should do a thread about it. I just bought the game this weekend on PC and disappointed that mods are broken.

Can I finish the game now on the PS4 without screwing some vital quests by doing sidequest outside the main quests branch?

Any idea from anyone if the update altered the main ESM in any way? I suppose any mods dependent on an earlier ESM might be borked to a crashing degree if any significant changes were made.
Good to hear console's draw distance is super improved now and FPS improvements is also great

It shows that Bethesda will always see their games as PC games. :/
Thats a lot better! I cant believe what it was like. Holy crap!

This is pretty great. The subtitles sucked so much before 1.3 and the warping was just annoying.
PS4 here.
Mine updated this afternoon (Aus time) and the only immediate difference I noticed was an increase in fan noise. Not sure if that's the portion of the game itself (
) as it got better once I moved on to the next thing (
).
Keen to see what DF's performance review finds out.

Just met Father, and completed those Institute quests
went back to the Commonwealth and did the Pickman and Museum of Witchcraft sidequests

The dupe glitch is a memory; the dupes themselves are still in memory though.
