It means if Fallout London will potentially need weeks or months of extra work because of Bethesda hasn't warned about the timing of the update.

well the modders need to wait for the update since they need to code their mod too. Also as I heard they use other mods too, which could break their mod since they need to wait for the other mod authors update too. It could take a while.
Its not really Bethesdas fault but well timing could be better for everyone.

To be fair. we have known about this update for over a year now, and that it was coming soon. They gave us a two week notice to secure our mod profiles instead of shadow dropping like they did for that last skyrim patch.

Will the updates affect the mod though?

FOLON released a statement last week announcing that the mod will not be released on the intended date of April 23rd 2024.

The reason is obvious: because of the forthcoming FO4 update is set to go live on the 25th.

FOLON not only requires FO4SE, but also a few other systems - created by people outside the FOLON team - that will need to be updated by their respective creators before the FOLON can apply their own updates and release the mod in a fully functional state.

They were left with a tough decision:

Either go ahead with the release on the 23rd and let people enjoy it for 48 hours before it breaks for an unknown amount of time…

Or delay the release until everything is squared away and good to go post-BSG update.

Neither is ideal - both will upset and frustrate people and there’s no telling when everything will be updated, but I think they made the right call. People tend to get more upset when they get something they’ve wanted for a long time, and then have it taken away, as opposed to being told they have to wait just a little longer.

And yes, while it’s true that they could release it on the 23rd anyways and tell people to “update proof” their game, chances are a lot of those people will either do it incorrectly or just not get to it in time to prevent the auto update.

The FO4SE team will likely get their update out the door within 24 hours - they’re pretty good about that, but let’s just hope that whoever else they’re gonna be waiting on is on top of things too.

Best case scenario: it’ll release a week or a week and half from now, worst case…maybe a few weeks or a month.

The thing that I’m more curious about is how they’re distributing it. They’re not doing it through Steam and apparently the mod is too large for Nexus. Instead, they’re distributing it through GOG.

They say that it will work fine with the GOG version of FO4, but I’m wondering what kinda hoops we’re gonna have to jump through to get it to work on a Steam-based FO4.

I doubt very much that they would somehow 'limit' it to the piddly amount of people who have it legally through GOG and exclude the hundreds-of-thousands from steam.

But yeah, they're certainly not happy about any of this jumping on them like that.

[TheOrangeBox]

... unless Bethesda has an additional new branch on STEAM for the updated version.

[Zekiran]

That will obviously not happen.

They're using GOG as the hosting platform. It's gonna be available for everyone, freely installable via any launcher of your choice. The only thing they said may not happen is if the EPIC version doesnt get updated promptly like the other platforms will. No one has a thing to worry about

Of course. They would be shooting themselves in the foot with a mini nuke if it wasn’t available to Steam owners, but what I’m curious about is what may or may not need to be done on the user end to get it set up properly.

I wonder if they even tried to get a Steam page. Enderal has one and while there are different explanations as to why, one of those explanations is that the Enderal team simply asked Valve to host it and filled out some kind of application - which was approved.

I have no idea though if the Enderal team has to pay for the page, or if it’s free for them.
