Ultimate Edition free on Epic Games Store

Sale ends 6/2/2023 at 1:00 AM

Edit: Guys, what is wrong with Epic? They give out great free games and I have never had performance issues running games there vs here. It’s free, what’s the big deal?

damn i want those dlcs

I don't even think you can really mod this version because of NVSE's steam/gog checks, unless it's different from the EGS version of F3. Honestly not worth it even if you can though, EGS kills your PC performance.

if people don't have the DLCs just know you can copy them from out of the Epic folder and put them in the Steam folder and they work fine

[Kaytorahk]

also you should play on Steam anyway

Probably. The game is exactly the same like the steam version.
Steam and EGS are nothing but game stores. They don't get their own version of a game.

Steam best version

Lol... was just about to make this post....

and yes, steam version may be best, but free is free.

had i not received this game and it's DLC as a gift, the EPIC version would be my only recourse. Why? because i am poor. I have no income of my own because i am disabled and the gov't frowns upon me spending the money they send me on games.

Both correct and incorrect. The EGS version (like the Windows Store version) is actually its own version of the game (actually, all digital versions are different - even the GoG version is not the same as the Steam version).

The Epic version has a recompiled executable, which makes it incompatible with a significant number of mods.

Importantly, that includes the script extender, meaning that all of the performance and stability mods that are necessary for many (if not most) users to get a stable and playable game on modern hardware and operating systems do not work.

Specifically, YUP itself will work. However additional bugfixes like the NVSE unofficial patch, Mod Limit Fix, Tick Fix, Heap Replacer, Stewie's Tweaks, Anti Crash, and again almost all critical mods will not work. Also any mods (which includes most modern stuff) that rely on NVSE plugins like JIP, Johnny Guitar, etc will not work. It's also incompatible with the normal 4GB patch (although generic LAA patchers will still work).

Even newer UI mods like M.U.X. won't work on the EGS version.

As of this now, there is also essentially zero chance of a delta patch that makes the EGS version work correctly with NVSE. The EGS version adds a bunch of code to the exe tying it to their launcher and achievement system, and the handful of people capable of making such a patch have already written it off as a lost cause.

As of now, it is also incompatible with TTW.

Basically, the EGS version might be nice to have, if only to waste Epic's bandwidth and money chain-downloading it for a few weeks. But due to lack of mod compatibility, it's essentially a dead-end version (that likely won't even launch for a large amount of people).
