It is the latest version, but just doesn't work. Keeps crashing, at one point a crash wiped all the saves as well and I had to start again. Steam and Bethesda both had suggestions for making it work with windows 8 but nothing has worked.

[Psychosplodge]

Ah, windows eight...

[Kirsten]

It is a good OS, and usually very good for backwards compatibility. But Fallout is so hideously buggy at the best of times that it is just too much.

Once patch3ed up the only issues I had was with the whole bad mods.

There is a skin mod that turns everyone into 40k peeps.

Yeah I am going to look at the mods. It is crashing every time the assault rifle is reloaded so going to remove the high res weapon texture and see if that makes a difference.

[Kirsten]

deleted the weapon high res texture pack and that seemed to work for a good 45 minutes. then it just crashed again. I have given up and moved on to New Vegas, installed a load of mods with that and so far it has worked perfectly.

I do like it when you reach Nipton and are in a position to kill the Legion there. nothing worse than not being strong enough at that point to kill them all.

the Nevada skies mod is interesting, I liked the dust storm first time it sprung up, but you seem to get at least one every half hour, so between that and pitch black nights I have spent half the game being unable to see a damn thing, which gets old. the rain and lightning looks awesome though.

[Wolfshade]

you could change the ingame time to match real time to make it less frustrating. That and music packs for the pipboy

well I decided to pick up Destiny today. enjoying it so far, but I haven't gotten as far as the end of the Beta so far. IGN are reporting the total play time as 18 hours, which I find pretty astonishing for an MMO type game. people reached the level cap on launch day which again, thinking in MMO terms, is ludicrous. but Bungie have lately been telling everybody that it is not in fact an MMO. despite being a large online multiplayer only game...

the main issue it threw up was telling me my PS4 hard drive is full. I have I think nine disk based games and maybe a dozen download games, and have filled the standard hard drive. which basically means that giving a console like that a 500gb hard drive is a nonsensical waste of time. I had planned to buy a 1TB replacement but clearly that would be a waste of time as well, need a minimum of 2TB to get any sort of decent life span out of it.

[Gotthammer]

Ooh ouch on Destiny :/ sounds like they were trying for Halo co-op type thing but built it like an MMO and got neither. A lot of early talk has been rather subdued which is a shame.
