Did they change companion affinity triggers?

[Dagnasty]

Playing through again. It's been a while. I used to get Codsworth up to 1000 quickly. Been slogging with him now for 6 hours gameplay time and he doesn't like anything. Workbench liked only 2x, even with 2 minute cooldown. If anything, its going down cause it still dislikes stuff all the time. Same with Piper and safes, etc.. Did they make it harder to up companions?

Companion affinity has been buggy for me on and off since the patch that rolled out around Automatron's release. One patch fixes it, another patch brings it back. It's been a headache in the least. Usually for me when affinity bugs out, it is completely broken--no likes or dislikes at all. Not sure íf that's what is going on with your game.

I haven't been able to play FO4 much since the latest patch because of the memory leak-like performance problem that cause some players like me to get awful lag after 40-60 minutes of playing, so I don know if in my game the latest patch caused any issues with affinity. But before this last patch, it was working OK with a few hiccups that required me to go back to an earlier save.

I know that the exploit where you can spam affinity by reloading a quicksave was changed. You can't do that anymore. But you can wait an hour in-game, run out the cooldown that way and still get a like/dislike. I was spamming affinity with Piper that way before the latest patch--pick a lock, sit on a couch for an hour, pick another lock. Same thing with Nick and hacking.

Thats what I thought. After it patched to latest, this stuff started. The reload thing is what they fixed, and this is a side effect. I used modav ca_affinity but then it went to 1000 in like 5 minutes. I am trying so hard not to use cheats/edits, but it is impossible not to. Just fell through a closed door and died. No more Survivor mode for me. Thanks for letting me know it wasnt just me.

I sometimes use the console cheat Modav CA_Affinity 999999 with those companions I really don't want around me for long because they annoy me just to get there perk

should use setav for affinity, modav affects how much you gain when you do something they like/dislike... pretty much any value you put in for modav will result in GAINING affinity when they dislike something :P

Oh, thats why. Kept getting dislikes and it shot up really quick. I now have Codpiece stuck at 492. He wont like anything except done quests. Worse than Strong. Doing Setav 999 and being done with it.

Oh they fixed the quicksave/quickload trick to reset the timers for afinity gain! Was lookign about that myself when I've seen this topic.

IDK I am on danse for a couple weeks and everyone else is maxed. I've done nothing but save his life, cook him dinner, avoid being a smart ass, but at this point my vats my trigger on green a few times with me two shot .44

Well I haven't played the new patch but in 400 hours, 2 playthroughs, I had no issues with maxing them all out. I do know though that people have had issues. Do you think it could be a mod installed that's causing it. Reason I say is that pre-geck, mods were like hacks and things can go wrong when creating mods that way, I know all too well I've created some very successful mods going back to morrowind and its so easy when not using the GECK to alter something erroneously and not quite realise the consequences.

Danse is scripted to stop gaining aff until you complete Blind Betrayal and keep him alive .

No mods or added content. Just latest patch. I really liked things 2 patches ago.
