Hopefully makes the game stable for once.

Still no fix for AZERTY keyboards ? Seriously ?

Thanks for the update, I will be trying it out and see if I notice any issues.

I am unable to launch Fallout 4 now, im stuck with the Launcher running in loop when I hit play, then it "prepares to launch Fallout 4" then goes back to the launcher. I verified the cache and 2 files seemed to have not been validated. However the Launcher loop issue is still there...
Was hoping to play today, guess I will take a nap instead.

UPDATE: Had to restart Steam Client, seems to be an issue there. Maybe the Steam Application ID was bad upon update within the client data base?

Can we get the hard coded buttons fully removed? Tab to back out of things is not good for me. Also new nvidia drivers installed and FO4 Sli profile has been added but still getting 45-55% GPU usage. 21:9 supprot would also be GREAT. Good game so far keep the betas coming

Not getting more than 16fps after installing this beta...

This Beta update still disables Mods (.esp files). You can re-enable them, but you have to jump through some hoops.

1. Open the Fallout 4 launcher.
2. Re-enable the .esp files via mod manager.
3. Press play on the launcher.

Hope this helps

Hm, so this might allow us to actually play at the refresh rate of our monitors? Instead of having to force sub-100?

I'm getting a Disk Write Error whenever I try to download this beta. Have checked the drive for errors... None, have Verified Game Cache etc and it still wont work.

Note saying this is an issue for everyone, as updates due tend to break some mods. However, I am using around 12 of the top mods out right now and none of them were disabled. There is an issue with Nexus Mod Manager thats been going on since the 0.61.1 & 0.61.2 updates where if you launch Fallout 4 through it, it will disable all mods right away. I had to resort to using a seperate mod manager to ensure all mods were tic'd on before launching.

Try closing Steam fully, then relaunching Steam. If you havent already.

Hopefully they fix the crash issue when you travel to Sanctuary. Me and other people on the forums hav been kinda bummed with that. At 60+ hours in the game and I cannot turn in quests at Sanctuary anymore on account of it CTD when I try. :/

[strangerism]

Raven, are you running mods?

[DeliveryGodNoah]

I was hoping for a performance boost with this patch. If this patch includes that, I don't notice it. Most areas it's 60FPS, but in certain inner city areas it tanks below 30. I still have to manually set my shadows distance to 6000 to get a happy balance between acceptable performance and visual detail.

Have restarted PC several times and get the same thing. Last resort is to uninstall FO4 and start a clean one...

No. That will probably never happen. It's a limitation within the engine, there is too much tied to the frame-rate. I have heard that some people have found work arounds, but in my experience 60 fps is the best frame-rate for Skyrim and Fallout 4.
