Virgile: Salutations!
Hope you’re all doing well so far this week :)
Just sharing the current status of the Fallout 4 Next Gen update.
First of all, rest assured that both Bethesda and GOG teams are working on delivering the DRM-free version of this update as soon as possible.
However, we heard the feedback from the gaming community about the said update, that while bringing many useful improvements and additions, it sadly renders a tremendous amount of amazing mods unusable.
TLDR: We are considering freezing our build of Fallout 4 to provide the modding community with the necessary time to make their mods compatible with the last update. The updated build, once greenlighted by both Bethesda and GOG, would be available via our GOG Galaxy
beta branch system -
and as an offline patch- to allow you to enjoy your modded version until you consider that the time is right.
Let us know your thoughts, wish you all a pleasant week.
Worm regards,
Virgile
I like the idea of this, sounds reasonable and less chaotic than with the steam update. It would however be nice if in general GOG allowed prior versions of the offline installers to be accessible by people instead of just the most recent release. I am aware it is possible to roll back via gog galaxy but that cuts against the stated line by GOG that galaxy "would always be optional".
It should be a game of cat and mouse where you have to catch the version of the offline installer before the update else never be able to get it again!
Truth is there is not really a rational reason why prior offline installers can't be made available and odds are being a bethesda game, even with the best efforts of the modding community.... they probably did screw something up.
