New Fallout fan here...Does Fallout 4 GOTY Edition still on work on PC launching on Steam????

[kingKaungFU]

Recently, I bought Fallout 3 to play and I want to experience the DC Wasteland. 13 minutes into the game after escaping Vault 101, the game crash. When I tried to launch, it crash and the game didn't launch. I have scrounge through every forums, Discords, and YouTube videos looking for a solution. I follow all of them and none of them have work. I even did mods and it still didn't work. Nothing works and I was out of options.

People say GOG version is better. So I tried that. I was able to continue my save from the Steam version. 13 minutes into the game, it did the same thing right after I hit "Enter" to enter Megaton. I was so frustrated and I keep banging my head so many times.

It's like Bethesda or Fallout 3 doesn't want me to play the game. People give me the explanation that Fallout 3 is old and I get that but that's still unacceptable. I have 2004 Star Wars Battlefront and it never crash on me.
I decided I will play FO3 on my Xbox One.

This FO3 PC experience is a nightmare for me and I don't like to go through that. However, I do plan to play FO4 on the PC in the future one day. I just wanna know...will Fallout 4 crash the way Fallout 3 did to me. I doubt it will do that cuz FO4 is very modern and not old, but I want to hear it from experienced players and fans.

The reason I want to get into the Fallout franchise is cuz I hear how great the Amazon series is. So...does FO4 crash if I try to launch or crash minutes into the game????

Also, I do want to state that as someone who paid for this game, no paying customers or paying gamers should or deserve to go through this. No one should have to scrounge through many YouTube videos for solutions. No one should also have to rely on mods to fix a problem on a game that they pay money for. I have nothing against mods. Not everyone is mod-savy or tech smart. They just want to play the game. That's it.

Game works great, has for the last ten years.

Happy gaming Tiger.

Isn't GOTY just a bundle on Steam of the base game, the season pass, and all 6 DLC packs?

I mean nobody here will be able to tell honestly.
It's a hit or miss depending on your rig.
You might have to tinker around with some settings but it SHOULD just work (as has been told by our lord and saviour, todd the god howard).

Glad to hear FO4 works good. Does FO3 work for you???

By the way, my rig is an AMD Ryzen 5950X and RTX 4070TI

Well like I said, it can both work and not work for you so take what I said with a grain of salt.

And FO3 only works if I mod it to work on modern machines. Same applies to New Vegas.

You need to go in and turn on V-sync and use Geforce experience to make sure your settings are kosher.

I *somehow* play on a 5800x3d with a 7900GRE.

Of course my system is not a rig, it is a pup truck.

Purchased VERY recently; have modern system. Both CPU and GPU upgraded to low/mid-range new stuff within the last year. Win10.

Runs fine. ^^ Loading time is absolute , but while playing it has been running like a dream.

HOWEVER. It doesn't crash until I mod it, but it makes Skyrim look stable when I try to mod even just the script extender and the big fixes patch -- prior to today's update, manual and mod manager installation attempts both -- I think something about my system isn't compatible with the script extender. Since I only ever played it on console before and (mostly) vanilla was my intent to begin with, this isn't a dealbreaker for me. It might be for some folks.

I DID get the 'always have Dogmeat' mod working because it doesn't require the script extender, though. So the most essential mod does work, at least. ^^ Or did until the update. I'm scared to check now.
