Problems with Xbox and a series of unsolved issues on PC.

You might call today’s DF Direct an assemblage of spot tests as they showed up thick and quick for a series of titles, in differing degrees of scale. The addition of a 40fps ‘favour quality’ mode in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora strikes an outstanding balance in between resolution and visual functions for Xbox Series X and PS5, while Lords of the Fallen’s 1.5 upgrade lastly resolved the enduring ‘0fps’ issue we reported on back then. By far the greatest profile addition is the ‘next-gen’ upgrade for Fallout 4 – and it’s promptly unfolding into a bit of a legend.

A couple of weeks back in DF Direct, we described a few of the existing concerns in the PC variation that truly required attending to – the capability to scale the video game above 60fps and repairing the weapons particles choice that crashes actually any RTX graphics card. Neither of those issues are dealt with and plenty more concerns are emerging, bring into question what the point is for PC users. Even the much-vaunted ultra-wide assistance has issues.

On the planet of consoles, there has actually been substantially more effort took into modernising Fallout 4 for today’s hardware. Prior to last Thursday, the very best you might get was the Xbox One X variation running under back-compat for Series X, together with an FPS Boost 60fps alternative that did certainly performed at a greater frame-rate, however busted visual quality to Xbox One S level. Bad. A ‘720p60’ mod that permitted for 4K60 on Series X appeared to have actually disappeared. How do things fare with the brand-new spot?
