Codsworth said my name, awesome

Sorry the PC guys seem to be having problems.

**Co'tor Shas**

Downloads folder perhaps? Or a shortcut on your desktop?

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Yes its in the downloads folder. When I run it, it displays my driver model etc. But when I click the "Download Now" button, it just sends me to the page to re-download the auto detect tool itself. Its not telling me how to download the updated Driver.

Is there a way to update the AMD drivers from within the AMD Catalyst Control Center itself?

Well I would bloody well hope the graphics would be better on a $1000-$2000 (or more) gaming rig when compared to a $300-$400 console...

my tower was 350$ when it was new several years ago... the graphics card was an extra 125 or so... the graphics on this older comp are still better then any console, not sure why you think computers have to be 2k to run games well.

Fallout so far is really neat, the draw distance is great, I keep climbing up stuff just to look around!

**Co'tor Shas**

Hmm, that's odd. I'm not familiar with AMD, so I won't be able to help you more than that.

Edit: $2000 is a damn great PC. I'm planning for about $1500 (screen, mouse, ect included), and even that's unnecessary (I don't want to have to upgrade this thing for a long time).

Nice try, console peasant!

**Silent Puffin?**

Level 5 so far and not really enjoying it. Its basically FO3 (so Oblivion with guns) with better graphics and a seemingly meaningless base building minigame. 6/10

Just replying to those folks having issues here.

But continue to be a dick if you must.

What's so bad about it then? Genuine question, as I always thought that FO3 was commonly liked among its playerbase. What were your expectations for FO4?

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

FINALLY got it working.

This intro is fething fantastic, like a movie.

Ack, there's This stupid little button prompt thing at the top of the screen that says "Save highlight Ctrl F2".

How do I turn it off?

UPDATE just figured it out. For the benefit of everyone else, if you get this, close down your AMD Gaming Evolved.

Conglaturations! Enjoy the game

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

I was going to play a female for the first play through but apparently the Husband is a war veteran, whereas the wife has no military background. Dang, I like the idea of being a war vet.

Ugh, the female preset faces are horrible. I only like the default.

**BrookM**

The new menu system takes some getting used to, but other than that, this game is glorious.

**Avatar 720**

I have to admit that the majority of my time in-game so far has been spent playing The Sims: Fallout...

**Wyrmalla**

An hour left to download it. :(

Eugh, the silliness of having only a fifth of the total files on actual disk. ¬¬

And then I find out I can't even run the game because my system's specs are crap. I managed skyrim on High settings, with no ENB or anti aliasing, but I have concerns. I could buy a new PC, but my immediate monies are going towards a new van. Hmn, I guess I could sling a few hundred to a new PC though if it had decent enough specs (though I'd have no idea where to start).

Mods will fix it. Just like Skyrim. As usual, modders fix the stuff the developer is too lazy to fix

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

I think I'm gonna buy an Xbox controller for this, mouse and keyboard is just so jerky. I always liked the smooth motion and transition from walking to running that a controller allows.

And Damn is this motion blur hurting my eyes.

Feels a lot like Dishonoured so far.

**TheDraconicLord**

Welcome to the Commonwealth!

**SilverMK2**

Enemies are far too fast and throw way too many grenades

Enjoyed it so far. Interesting to see where the base building goes.

Love the new power armour but a fuel cell that has powered a factory for 200 year should not run out after just a few tens of minutes walking around in the armour

**BrookM**

So, I found a second power armour undersuit and some spare parts of armour, score?

Spoiler:

I also really like how the more damaged a suit of power armour becomes, the more bits and pieces of it you'll be missing.

**Desubot**

Man thats slick

My Fallout4 edition poo brown X bone came in the mail and now i get to download the game :/

**Avatar 720**

I'm afraid that, until a mod makes power cores infinite charge, I'll be treating PA very much like every other valuable resource in RPGs: valuable enough that you'll never use it in case you reach a point where you actually have to--a point which never actually comes.

**Overlord Thraka**

Okay I'm just going to have avoid this thread if I wan't to keep my sanity...

There were instructions on possible fixes on that I saw linked to on the FO4 Reddit. I copied them into a word document, and they'll b in the spoiler but I'll see if I can find the post it'self.

Yeah, I parked mine in the garage and plan on leaving it there until I can make it shiny

**Wyrmalla**

Ack, and now the game's crashing at launch. :(

Aren't they supposed to have like a 500 year battery or something rediuclous like that. I remember reading that a while ago

But, if you really are having a hard time finding them, and are on the PC version.

Press the tilda (~) key to bring up the console.
Type either:
help fusion
or
help core

and look through the list with pgUp and pgDn until you find it, and write down the ID (should be an 8 long seuqnce of number and letters).

Then type:
player.additem <fusion core ID> <number of fusion cores wanted>

Yeah, I was the guy who stashed the Elixirs in Final Fantasy and never used them

Ok, I am blown away with the quality of the voiced dialogues. The fact the NPCs mentioned and were amazed I took a Deathclaw out when I was escorting them and they walked by the corpse, wow, the attention to detail <3

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Sanctuary Hills is going to end up looking like Alexandria from TWD when I'm done with it, I'm planning defended and a wall. I wonder if I can rename it to Junktown.

**Wyrmalla**

Heh, and the game's dead in the water for me. Considering just buying a new PC. =P

An Alienware with a 3.9 proc and 8Gb of memory aught to do I guess. Least with me not wanting to spend more than £700 on Ebay that is.

...Pity the company which I work for doesn't happen to be selling any of the pile of spare Alienwares which we have in the office unfortunately.
