Friendly reminder, after over a decade, Skyrim's quest, "Blood On The Ice" is still so absurdly bugged, you're more likely to softlock the quest than finish it
if i recall it's the only quest they made in that game that doesn't offer any quest markers so it's much easier to break the quest by the player not knowing where to go to finish the quest correctly. i know some people want bethesda to go back to the old fashioned system that Morrowind used, of no markers, but some quests are simply unplayable with this idea in the game, so it's better to have the markers over not having them at all because of issues such as this in the game.
@@5226-p1e Blood On The Ice isn't just broken because of the lack of quest markers (which makes messing up certain sections easier), it's also just straight up broken in several ways. I don't remember why specifically but essentially due to how open ended it is, the game has to run so many scripts and junk that it's a thread from snapping. Sometimes the guard that starts the question doesn't spawn, meaning you need to break into Hjerm and skip half the quest. Other times Calixo or whatever his name is refuses to acknowledge the amulet/won't progress the quest after selling it to him, and if he does do his job, the court mage might also not care about it. If you prefer to get the court mage arrested and then catch the actual guy, the game might decide to never actually start that part of the quest. The quest is just broken from top to bottom
that's funny, blood and the ice and civil war are the worst, buggiest quests but they've been the only quests that haven't broken for me in my last 5 runs
@@janitordel6296 now i don't often run into this bug when playing this quest and i have had literal hundreds of playthroughs through out the years of playing this game, but some of that time i have run into it's issues. i run into more issues when trying to kill mirrak in apocrypha than i do with any other quests, the game doesn't want the player to kill him to early, he has to get those other dragon souls before the player can actually kill him, but it's a stupid story mechanic that causes this bug because bethesda didn't think the player would kill mirrak so damn easily so the quest in killing him gets bugged to the point where he stays ethereal until the end of time, so the only way to fight him without that dumbass bug is to reload a previous save and fight him with kid gloves until the last part of the fight when he's absorbed all the dragon souls and only then he can be killed. however i have noticed with some quests bethesda has allowed finishing quests that are bugged using alternate paths, like for example doing a quest out of order, the game wants you to do it a specific way, but it sometimes allows the player to finish that quest in another way, it's just they don't offer this with every quest in the game which is why some of these quests are so damn impossible to finish.
"Poor Nick can't get up here anymore, because this area's coordinates correspond perfectly with the entrance to Home Plate, which I've covered in suitcases." is the funniest reason for a bug I've ever heard
There's also a swim animation bug. Sometimes when you enter a body of water in a weird way the swim animation won't trigger and you'll be walking/running instead of swimming.
i think that has to do with the conflict that they used the gravity of the water to effect gravity animations in the game, which is likely why you can't really swim under water.
Even better with the creation club bugs. There is a creation called Tunnel Snakes Rule! That completely softlocks Out of Time and the intro to the minutemen questline by not allowing you to progress through the states of the quests. From what i read online it's supposed to be something about the quest id's but i don't really know. Even if you complete the quest your game still won't allow you to progress until you remove the creation from your game. Bethesda's recommended fix for this is not to move your character for about 20 minutes after you leave the vault lmao.
Yeah that doesn’t work for me. And no where I looked pointed me to this. If this is true, then I’d be so grateful. I’m gonna try this because holy crud is it annoying to have to kill a run.
OHHH SO THATS WHY. Towards the beginning of my new playthrough i felt like it was taking longer than usual, but i was like "nah i'll just come back later" about 50 hours and dozens of levels later, i went back to Preston and he still only gave me random quests instead of retaking the castle 💀💀💀. Well, at least i just wanted to do everything with mainly the Railroad anyway.
Speaking of odd things with Dogmeat, equip a bandana on the pup. His carry weight shoots up to 150 pounds in survival mode, which can make early game scavenging much easier. You'll need to unequip & re-equip the bandana should you exit the game & also occasionally during normal play. Still, the bandana = burro effect is helpful.
@@BoyKhongklai Yeah. Just remove anything he has that has weight. Give him the bandana (any), equip it, & close the dialogue box. Open it again and load him up with up to 149.9 pounds. The bandana weighs 0.1.
@@Mr._Anderpson Wow thanks! Tried it last night and now I'm looting everything 😂 (I used to load up corpses with thousands in weight, then drag them to my settlement 😂😂)
Speaking of bugs, a group of radroaches have been giving a nearby settlement some trouble. The settlers can certainly use some help. Here... let me mark the location on your map
I had a bug in my Fallout 4 save that is kind of beneficial. I had an attack on the castle that damaged the radio broadcast. When I fixed it and reassigned the operator, the minutemen radio was gone.
The Dogmeat conveyor dupe can be done without Dogmeat. You can just grab the item yourself as it enters. Yes it does take some practice to get the timing right.
so does the effect stack? i have never used the conveyer belt thing, i couldn't be bothered to use that feature in my game ever lol, i hate the settlement system in so many ways, i normally just do the bare minimum for my settlements so i can do other things, they just made the settlement system to much work to care about, like i want to enjoy the game more than i want to build. the only mod i like that takes over the building of settlements is sim settlements, but that mod comes with it's own bullshit issues, so if you just want the settlement building and stop there, and never move forward in the quest, it's a great mod when it comes down to automated built cities in the commonwealth. problem is i actually like the sim settlements story that i want to continue, but it's so god damn buggy that it makes the game unplayable in so many ways.
@user-tp5yb4hr4w yes you can get 10+ in all special states with it. Turn on survival mode and wait a few days so that your specials are debuffed and you can really stack them
@@joshuabillings5108 i guess it's just one of those things in the game i couldn't be bothered with doing. i tend to like questing more than messing with exploits, i almost never go after the exploits, maybe if i was a console player i might mess with that feature. but then again i hate survivor mode in the vanilla game, it seems like it was made as an after thought because it has so many issues in the way it works. i tried it once and it was simply not enjoyable, it was more clunky than the vanilla game experience and it annoyed me that i couldn't find a bed anywhere because back when i tried survivor mode it was in my first playthrough of the game and you can't find anything, the only way it might be enjoyable is if the mechanic came with some other features like a sleeping bag mechanic and a backpack to hold all your crafting stations, unfortunately you have to get mods to fix the bad survival mechanics bethesda built into the game. that's why it in many ways feels like it was an after thought on bethesda's part.
@@joshuabillings5108 add to that the consumables with debuffs and you can get really nuts. my best is S18, P38 (though I usually stop at 30), E22, C19, I24, A16, L19
@@RetroPlusNo bugs for me and I play on survival with like 50 mods and almost everything on creation club. Actually Fallout 4 runs like a dream on the series x, The games not perfect but I bet most people with issues are using bad mods (like the unofficial patch) or have bad load orders. FYI: The unofficial patch makes far harbor unplayable with crashes on Xbox. I learned the hard way by playing a full game with just the unofficial patch. I can’t speak for playstation or PC but on xbox, I know for a fact it will break your game.
@@martymcyourflysdown6872 did you update UFO4 patch since you installed? Apparently its been fixed since June 2023 but i would also like to know if its still having issues
The Creation Club Tesla cannon adds an invisible effect to the player that randomly makes friendly NPCs hostile. So you could be talking to Virgil or another quest NPC and they'll just start blasting you for no reason, even without the Tesla cannon equipped.
the only bugs i care about are the ones that screw up the games quests, most of them i don't really care that much as they are really small unnoticeable most of the time, like a seam on the ground in some water in a small section of the game, but if it fucks with the actual quests, that's when i lose my shit because these cause CTD's and freezing and other conflicts in the game. however i feel the black face bug never gets fixed, it's literally in every bethesda created game they make with the creation engine, modders have tried to fix it, and some have, but it turns out to be caused by other factors relating to your ram or something, i upgraded my ram recently and it's still having this issue, and yet it's still the fault of the ram? then it's also caused when the game rains or when your in racemenu and it's caused when using other NPC facial replacers, that one is annoying as fuck and the only way to fix it is to quit the game and reload the game or to open up race menu and choose a preset to fix the stupid bug.
Really? Never noticed that, only the visual bug of the Tesla cannon sparks and smoke remaining in the air if you reload a save after dying Quite funny tbh and honestly not looking too bad as a little effect but die more than once with the Tesla cannon shooting and you won’t see anything anymore Also the Tesla cannon is the prime example of just how boring and bad Fallout 4 combat really is
@@CMFZ_JaxFallout 4s combat on a base level is still leagues above the extremely robotic and stiff aiming that 3 and New Vegas have. For some weapons trying to shoot a target right in front of you without VATS is a nightmare, but for similar weapons in 4 it’s just fine
@@shadow-squid4872see here’s the thing with Bethesdas combat ‚it’s better than fallout 3‘ That’s the mark they have to hit, but that mark is even hit by overpriced asset flips on steam Just because it’s better than fallout 3 doesn’t mean it’s good or something to desire, fallout 4s combat is still miles below anything else that even remotely is in the FPS or ARPG genre
Cool to see Part 3 about this topic! To complement the list: - The lever action Rifle Reload count Bug; needs to wait the animation be completed to start shooting again, you can not shoot 1 or 2 round because the weapon never was reloaded :/ - Radscorpions/Molerats Jumpscares Bug; THIS is the Ultimate Heart Attack, for some weird reason if you use a weapon with a scope and catch/saw a Radscorpion in your line-vision at far distance, even HIDDEN they automaticly detects you and teleports EXACTLY where you at!!! (They have 100 perception, Goddly 6th sense/arachnid sense and Detects the Ki of their foe, like Goku in DBZ) - Bulletsponges Enemies and Intimadation/Animal Friend/Wasteland Whisper become useless (More like a Game Design Flaw that leads into a Bug); since Bethesda did cut the level cap to make a more fun game, the enemies will continue leveling up their HP and level cap will be higher than the Player's Level Cap, making those perks useless.
My absolute favourite "bug" is when you turn around too quickly and the game crashes, I think the design team spent more time pooing in eachothers mouths than they did playtesting this thing
@@frankgrimes7388 buddy I could play New Vegas through to the end without a single crash, I completed that game again and again and again and had a thorough, organic experience without a single mod
This goes on for years now.... Todd Howard is often cited with his 'It just works..' quip. What he should have said: It just barely works - and it is enough for us... :)
the NPC's don't actually see, the navmeshing is how they see, but also when an NPC is aggro is how they find the NPC to shoot at. so really they are all blind NPC's it just looks like they can see.
Theres a weird bug where sometimes the grip of your gun will just Dissapear. Just found this bug like yesterday. Don't how it happened and how i manage to fix it. I heard that this is some engine problem of the game but i don't know
And for outfit, dirty version of Yellow Trench Coat is broken for male character but for female character, it works fine. And there's no dirty cersion of lab coat for female character, but for male character, it works fine. I don't get it. The script bugs? Sure. But outfit bugs sounds much easier to fix.
I've had the -8 Perception bug before so I just stopped taking Med-X. In my current run I have 11 in all categories when I started Nuka World, now for some reason I have -8 in Strength and -10 in Luck, but I don't see or notice any change in my fighting abilities.
I'm generally surprised that there's a beneficial bug still floating around Bethesda usually does their damn hardest to remove those bugs that break quests nope bugs that make your life easier gotta remove those
Ive done the conveyor bug without dogmeat - just grab the item the moment it gets sucked in the container. Timing is still needed, but dogmeat isnt. The thing i duplicated was the "You're Special" book, which can be found near the crib in Sanctuary. This book grants one more special point on a skill. Now duplicating this book with the conveyor bug lets you choose 1 more special point per duplicated book, up to 10 for every skill. Now switch over to survival mode, grab a chair and wait 2-3 days until youre hungry and exhausted which will give negative stats to your skills... then again duplicate some "You're Special" books - BAM! You can add more skill points to your skills. Switch back from survival to any other difficulty, and you can have 14-20 special points on each skill. Dont go over 10 on charisma though, because the settlements will bug if you have too many settlers in there (population will be charisma+11 afair).
It's the Tunnel Snakes creation club content that caused the museum of freedom quest to be locked out for me, it caused the game to not detect that you cleared out the raiders to progress the quest. I tried the quest setstage command to forcefully progress the quest but it didn't work. Since I'm on pc, I simply disabled the esl plugin for it instead.
This kinda Bethesda BS is why Starfield sucks. It was tolerable in their first proof of concept, Morrowind. But after that, they never got it together, and keep piling ontop of their poor development practices.
I really don't like Nuka World and Far Harbour but having them installed includes them in random location fetch quests. I'd uninstall them but that's something else that, apparently, Bethesda didn't anticipate.
for the 5th bug you listed from the video, there is mod that can fix this problem + several other bugs that are related with 3rd person player+PA race, its called Misc anims fix, and you can use creation kit to generate new anim text data to fix some modded weapons too
I recently acquired a brama bull in my settlement. I built a pen to put him there, spent thirty min trying to lead him into the pen, and finally got him in there. I turned my back for five seconds and he was back out of the enclosed pen
I don't know if you talked about this already, but I encountered a game breaking bug with the quest 'The Lost Patrol' on Xbox 1 What happened was that I did the quest AFTER the BOS arrived, brought Danse along, and passed the speech checks to get Paladin Brandis to rejoin. Then i went to Sanctuary afterwards and got out of my power armour, and the 'companion liked/disliked that' message started appearing non-stop. Then the game crashed, and everytime I tried to get back into the game, it would freeze and crash at the homscreen. I contacted both Bethesda and Microsoft, but after exhausting all options, they both eventually said that I had to delete my saves and restart the whole game. I told them that I found at least two other users on forums who had the exact same problem, and Bethesda said they would look into it. I tried the quest before the BOS arrived, and to my relief the same thing did not happened.
I got a bug where radio static plays no matter what. It plays over the world music, the radio music, the loading screens, etc.. If I load back it still plays. The bug bled into all of my saves so no matter what I do, I'm hearing radio static FOREVER. So I just uninstalled the game and haven't played it since.
Just remember, If you use the “unofficial patch” your game will become unplayable and constantly crash till you end up in a reddit community praising New Vegas 💯
The Vertibird AI is not bugged, per se. It’s based upon dragon flight AI from Skyrim. Dragons Circle and then land; so do vertibirds, but Bethesda never coded proper landing for the Vertibirds, thus, they crash. This was explained by one of the devs in a NoClip Documentary interview.
@@rickmccl71 Those are usually scripted events. Like when the Prydwynn enters the commonwealth for the first time. Or when you’re deployed to take out the fort and recover mininukes. Random encounters with Vertibirds usually crash. I’ve never seen a random encounter vertibird successfully land and launch troops. Or in the random event, the bird spawns in on the ground as if it’s landed and the troops are just nearby.
The devs need to enable an overdrive mechanic (not mod), I can't undergo the "I Am Legend" experience with dogmeat in the city without the game crashing.
It prevents the game from freezing when the frames per second are low. Supposedly when the game is just about to freeze, it allows the game to impair with unloaded cache reserve by loading briefly. It's only called for if the game is installed.@@5226-p1e
I wish they'd at least fix main quest lines. I started a new game not long ago and one of the Brotherhood of Steel quests (I believe it's called Fire Support) can still bug out making it impossible to do any of their quests, locking out their ending.
At least 100 of my 347 mods are either a bug fix, patch, or some other type of QOL adjustment mod, fix or compatibility patch. A lot of other mods I use are either weapon/armor replacers or corrected textures and meshes. I keep seeing new bug fixes, patches or corrections posted every day on Nexus.
Don't use Creation Club ever. Not only because you are supporting the predatory CC these mods tend to wreak havoc on your mod load order or screw with other mods. Add to that the way they can corrupt saves and you've got a whole lot of nope happening.
I just pirated them lol. It's super easy to pirate the Creation Club content on Fallout 4. Then I have to download the bug fixes, of course, but still.
If you play on PC Xbox Game Pass, you'll encounter a bug where any random explosion will basically just permanently break the game. Like looking in the direction of the explosion will cause 2-5 fps no matter where you are on the map. Because its not Steam, its very difficult to fix this with mods. I had a vanilla YOLO run that was ruined because of this. Only fix is to load an earlier save and avoid the areas with explosive objects.
ah, yeah that has to do with Nvidia and bethesdas weapon fx issues, some modder came up with a fix, but it only solves part of the issue, it seems to not be something that can fully be fixed. i use PC and an Nvidia card and i learned about this recently, just look up Weapon Debris Crash Fix on the nexus, it's the only mod that will help in this regard, bethesd seemed to screw this up and they offered a fix in the main launcher, but it doesn't seem to do anything. i'm honestly afraid of what bethesda means to do with the next gen upgrade of FO4, because i feel they don't know what the hell they are doing, they had to rely on a 3rd party program to make their stupid starfield to work good, aka DLSS. i just don't have any hope or trust in them to get the job done without making the game far worse than it already is.
tunnel snakes C.C pack breaks the trigger for taking Preston and his group to sanctuary, to fix you need to send them to sanctuary first before installing the pack. happened all the time on top tier computers.
Creation Club Delayed does work, I had to use it because the CC broke the main quest at the start of the game. And I do have a newer PC and strong hardware, but I use a ton of mods too, and some of them also come with start game enabled quests that run their scripts immediately. All of these together with the main quest scripts break the main quest right from the bat if you don't use some mod that delays at least the CC stuff.
I encountered a visual glitch bug the other day while doing Pickman's Gallery the other day. All blood spray was just big square blotches. For whatever reason the bug also stopped me from saving and loading. No idea what triggered it but I do play on PS4. I'm not ever going to give Bethesda more money for something I already own.
Just to add - the 0 kb bug on PlayStation can occur without any mods or Creation Club installed. It seems to be accepted that Creation Club content is the culprit, when clearly it’s just part of the problem, given I had (albeit quite bloated) save with absolutely no cc or mods installed and still got the bug!
The big bug I have noticed is with power armor paint from the creation club I apply it and it gives me and error in the discription of the piece of power armor I applied it to it started when I got the ai power armor mod from the creation club
Bethesda sucks in any way Unreal Engine sucks in any way Microsoft sucks in any way Google sucks in (almost) any way Facebook/Meta/Reddit/Twitter sucks in any way (the exception is Reddit for technical support) but the world continue to support this big companies and many others like these...
04:03 The locations used for random encounter seemingly have a limit on the amount of encounters that can spawn and once this limit is reached no more encounters will spawn at this location. To make matters worse you can end up exhausting a locations random encounters without even realising it by simply getting too close to the area and some encounters are repeatable even though they should have been a one off events. The funniest example of this is the Art vs Art random encounter because it can end up with both Art's locked in an endless fight to the death with each other every time their encounter gets spawned into the world. Another reason why random aren't spawn might be due to the fact that one of the NPC's in the test cell the random encounters are stored in until they are spawned on the map turned hostile to every other NPC and killed them (the main culprit on PC and Xbox is apparently Ness).
LOL this is great. I paused Fallout4, replaying it since Starfield is so poor - paused the game to find a fix for the audio-popping, and listening to this in the background :D Fallout 4 is still a great game, I am enjoying replaying it but yeah without modders and fixes it's literally barely functional. But STILL 100 times the game Starfield is!!
FO4 is still by far the buggiest AAA game I've ever played. Even with all the patches, I still sometimes get stuck in elevators permanently & I have a bug where child synth Shaun won't speak to me when I first enter the Institute, meaning I have to use crazy console commands to progress the awful main quest lol. Don't even get me started on npc's suddenly deciding they simply have to stand exactly where you're building in workshop lmao.
yeah that fix helps, but the game still suffers from CTD when using the bigger bombs such as your fatman or anything that causes a huge bomb to go off while you play. as far as i know the only bomb that is stable is the institute going up in flames lol, because that one is just esthetics, it doesn't actually cause a whole lot of damage because it's an effect.
I have hundreds of hours on Fallout 4 for Xbox. And have a ton of the CC content (always wait for items to be 100% off). I decided to try Fo4 on PS5 lately. There are many bugs (that have been payched on xbox) that havent been patched on PS. And as soon as i installed some free CC content, got the 0KB save bug, making the game completely unplayable. Bethesda needs a lawsuit at such massive neglect to their customers products.
Community fixes are Bethesda bug fixes. Where have you been? Why pay employees to fix the game that should have been working before you launched it when your players will buy it anyway and fix it for you to boot. Bethesda should have been forced to close its doors long ago but because people still buy whatever buggy bland reskinned mess they shove out their doors they continue to think they make good games on their "revolutionary" engine.
This is one of my favourite games but it is so in spite of the bugs and terrible game design. I don't think Bethesda game two tosses about this game and it's the poster child for Bethesda's lazy game design that persists to this day. Unless they get rid of Todd Howard I don't think we'll ever see true innovation from them again.
cant forget the bug that causes you to be unable to dismiss a companion from your company because you exited a conversation with an NPC some time ago, so that conversation never technically ended.
This is the first video I've watched so far, but there's two DLC related glitches in regards to completing Quests: 1. *Shipbreaker* I'm not sure what causes the bug (lol), but I recall getting it getting my health low and I like running off and waiting until I'm [H I D D E N] for my health to replenish. I'm not sure if that causes the bug or not doing it for a certain amount of time after triggering it causes the bug to soft lock where I couldn't find it anymore. Another instance is where I started the quest in terms of finding it, but it sort of not progress further than 95%-99% after a while of searching, it doesn't show up at all and I didn't get the whole Shipbreaker has been lost message didn't show up in either save. 2. *The Mechanist* There's a soft lock where you make it all the way to The Mechanist where there's a possibility of a Robot not showing up before taking care of The Mechanist herself. The only fix I found was uninstalling and reinstalling it. The game puts you into The Root Cellar. At least, that's where the game put me when i loaded the save after uninstalling.
Eat some bear ribs and then take a rank in Big Leagues. The boost from the food item becomes permanent. You can do this five times, to the point where your trusty machete or bat flatten deathclaws in one swing.
3.Random encounters don’t reset. Maybe this just reflects the real world, were places are ‘dead’ after clearing it with shotgun diplomacy. Ideally you should be able to ‘set place occupy by ’ were the faction is whoever faction you side with. You can see this at checkpoints in late-game. Bethesda is just incompetent, we saw that with Failout 76 and Starfield.
Oh, so the godrays and weapon debris are the reason for the EXTREME slowdowns when I randomly hit objects and rocks and stuff. Don't know why I do that, but I know I'd rather get rid of these effects than stop doing that😂
Yep, on my old GTX 1060 weapon debris dropped the framerate to 1-2 fps after hitting objects with melee weapons. That might be because I kept my drivers up to date. It's better than crashing, I guess. "You may need to downgrade your PC for this game" - Todd Howard
@@PancuroniumB That reminds me of how Skyrim had less bugs on my older PC. That was before the Anniversary Update, too, so it couldn't have been that. It's amazing how Bethesda continues to bend the logic of technology
7:43 oh so that’s what was happening it took me a while to figure out that it had to be related to the creation club which that and mods on ps4 are the buggiest features I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with because there’s a lot of bugs surrounding the creation club some I’m not sure if are actually bugs like for example another problem that happens when using creation club content is for some reason that content along with save data contribute to the data cap for mods
negative stats permanet in perception for a head strike or poison, buff permanent in survival , Food farm showing extra menu to store or move crop but it kick you from the game , settlers with stuck animations in farming places , magazine extra damage in scoop dont work , Good intentions and tessa fist dont dropp from enemie always , instakill cars , railroad quest in nukaworld stuck in galaxy zone, pistol 10 magazine large cant be moved to another pistol 10m except quick large magazine, etc.
@@Donnlour What I meant to say is that paid mods should be of higher quality than the free ones and therefore you shouldn't have to download patches for them to work.
My opinion on bugs is there should be as few as possible. Any bug fix is good. If its serious like downtown Boston crashing all the time or quests not working to minor ones like dupes and dead bodies being streatched out or some enemies get hit and fly to the stratosphere. That said i hate killing legendary enemies and not getting my legendary item. Yes even if its cryo boxing gloves
i think the worst part is, that they not only failed to fix alot of these bugs, but also managed to port them into fallout 76. just goes to show how fecking lazy bethesda are. Especially seeing as most of them have been already fixed by the community through the unofficial patch. But Bethesda couldn't even bother to thank the creators and perhaps give them a monetary reward for then using the damn mod and make it officially part of a patch for the game.
There is another bug where if you use the creation club DLC for vault snakes it breaks codsworth at the start of the game and you can't progress the main quest.
I keep hearing Curie talk in the distance everytime i go inside a building. Im on a vanilla plathrough so its very odd. Does anyone have an explanation? Lol its kinda creepy cause she goes quite for a few minutes then starts talking and it scares the shit out of me
It's linked to the robco factory near the Castle, if you go in there and leave again without finishing the Mr Handy orientation rooms her voice will follow you into every interior cell "punish the child"
One more to add to the Creation Club nonsense: The Tesla Cannon makes characters fight you. The Creat6ion Club version of the fan-favorite weapon, The Tesla Cannon, was integrated in a way that adds a hidden, unseen perk that surrounds the player with a radioactive field. To most characters, this isn't a problem...but it kills Harvey of Nuka World instantly and makes both The Mechanist and Virgil go hostile as soon as you get within speaking distance to either character. There have been fixes uploaded to the Nexus, but they didn't work for me. FOR ME. That doesn't mean they don't work entirely; other players have said they work fine.
To that Creation Club "Too Many Scripts" bug. The Creation Club scripts fire off right as you leave the Vault (or try to)...there's a mod on the Nexus that moves the spawn point out to the Commonwealth in spots that make sense...it's called "Creation Club Delayed"; I HIGHLY recommend that; works great for me. This bug can also affect Codsworth's first quest with you...he'll kill the first set of insects in Sanctuary and just stall out.
And finally, there's a few quests that tell you to tune your radio to a certain frequency to start a quest...and then doing so just gets static. :P Nuka World does this for me a lot; the Tunnel Snake's Creation Club can glitch out this way as well.
Funny how community mods are better and less broken than the official Bughtesda backed CC garbage. Also i am one of those unfortunate souls who suffered form the debris bug and fun fact that debris not only tanks your performance like crazy even on high end GPUs not because the GPU is weak but because the engine shits itself not knowing wtf to do it also increases the RAM usage like crazy, i used to play Fallout 4 on a bare minimum specs or it which is best to see issues like this and the debris made the ran usage go from 9GB average to full 16GB usage until the game's engine couldn't handle anymore. I now long since upgraded my rig to a whole new one and have no problems anymore given how strong it is but debris is still always off,it's a minor detail that is more than 100% not worth the trade off. It eats way way too much performance to be worth having on so i advise anyone and everyone playing this game to completely turn it off.
yeah, most of the time we are the cause, however it could also be Bethesda's modular design to the game that effects the game on the larger scale of things. i once got a mod that allowed me to scrap everything in my settlements and i found out real quick just how detailed every location bethesda created and every area is at least 100s of objects around each and every object, bethesda couldn't just turn these thousands of assets into one large object so instead of the engine counting these things as 1 massive object it counts as literal 100s to 1,000s to 10,000,000s of assets per location, which is 100% the reason why their games are so unstable. just imagine sanctuary without these thousands of objects all turned into 1 massive object, and suddenly you will see you can build anything no matter how much crazy you want to go because that massive object doesn't cause as much as a performance hit in playing the game. so when you consider the city of Boston and wonder why the location is so fps heavy, this is literally way it's so damn bad on your performance and why your game will often CTD or drop to it's knees in your fps count going under 20fps in some of these locations. this is likely why they designed starfield the way they did, they know cells can only handle so much, but the reason why everyone had to upgrade their pc to play the game is because bethesda really could get away with this idea if you had the best of the best hardware, because it couldn't be done very well with anything lessor.
In the german version of Fallout 3, texts on terminals just overflow if they are to long. They are cut off and you can't read the rest, because clicking brings you to the next screen. There is no scolling. It was the first thing I checked when I got Fallout 4 and it is STILL there. Not sure about other languages, but I stopped playing translations some time ago. You pay full prince and can't even get a google translate level
Friendly reminder make sure your choice saves are backed up to secondary media because just yesterday I got a bug from the BOS quest line at Cambridge I turned in a mission for Rhys and my game crashed and wiped out 750 hours of saved games I feel like I should be in the hospital. I restarted but there's no way I'm going to play this game for another 750 hours to put everything back. Instead of a community leader I think I'm just going to be a raider this time because I'm an idiot who still loves the game even after it destroyed me
DONT BREAK MY MODS. I dont need a chunk of my mods needing updates or un-installation just for minor bug fixes and minimal content that didnt have to break the game like Skyrim has repeatedly done.
It'd be cool if a potential part 3 included the dreaded Greenetech Genetics glitch that makes the entire area surrounding Greenetech Genetics (a place you have to go to in order to progress the main quest) inaccessible. Any attempts to get near GG, even as far as Ticonderoga Safehouse or flying over in a vertibird during Shadow of Steel, will cause your game to crash. There is no fix, official or otherwise, and the bug exists on all systems. The only way around it is to do everything that you need to in the area immediately after starting a new game, because at some point the area will be effectively locked off forever. You can revert to an older save to try and get in before it "activates", but this could cost you dozens of hours of progress, with no way to know when the bug happened except through trial and error. This bug just brought my latest save game to an end, so I know it's still there, and my years-long search for a fix has turned up only other people also looking for a fix.
The “unofficial patches” for Bethesda’s games are often times just a bunch of arbitrary changes that don’t really fix anything as much as change random things and sometimes that happens to cover a bug or two in the process.
Enemies are unkillable after level 100? Are you sure about that? After level 147 I stopped wearing armor/clothes aside from acrobat legendaries just for enemies to do some damage to me.
Previsibines and Precombines breaking completely destroys your FPS. They break due to having any mod that modifies the game space, which is ironic since mods are basically the only reason this game is still played 8 years later. Would be nice if you included this in a part 2.
I think you're overly harsh on the devs here tbh. Not that these bugs aren't egregious, but it's more likely problems with upper-management decision making and being hamstringed by dated technology than developer "laziness".
im guessing the animation related grenade glitch is caused by parts of the gun having the same name as parts of the grenade (like the stock sharing an ID with the grenade body) or something like that
The 0kb save glitch is so frustrating, cause on ps4 the mods are extremely limited so i like the added content... typically on sale. But with how easy it is to get that glitch to happen, and always after a long time without an auto save. Then the steps to avoid it are so freaking tedious...ugh
I had the constant combat music bug years ago and no matter what I did you couldn't get rid of it. Recently started the game again and the constant combat music loop bug is still there. But I don't care anymore, I deleted the game for good after hundreds of bugs Lol.
Friendly reminder, after over a decade, Skyrim's quest, "Blood On The Ice" is still so absurdly bugged, you're more likely to softlock the quest than finish it
if i recall it's the only quest they made in that game that doesn't offer any quest markers so it's much easier to break the quest by the player not knowing where to go to finish the quest correctly.
i know some people want bethesda to go back to the old fashioned system that Morrowind used, of no markers, but some quests are simply unplayable with this idea in the game, so it's better to have the markers over not having them at all because of issues such as this in the game.
@@5226-p1e Blood On The Ice isn't just broken because of the lack of quest markers (which makes messing up certain sections easier), it's also just straight up broken in several ways. I don't remember why specifically but essentially due to how open ended it is, the game has to run so many scripts and junk that it's a thread from snapping. Sometimes the guard that starts the question doesn't spawn, meaning you need to break into Hjerm and skip half the quest. Other times Calixo or whatever his name is refuses to acknowledge the amulet/won't progress the quest after selling it to him, and if he does do his job, the court mage might also not care about it. If you prefer to get the court mage arrested and then catch the actual guy, the game might decide to never actually start that part of the quest.
The quest is just broken from top to bottom
that's funny, blood and the ice and civil war are the worst, buggiest quests but they've been the only quests that haven't broken for me in my last 5 runs
@@janitordel6296
now i don't often run into this bug when playing this quest and i have had literal hundreds of playthroughs through out the years of playing this game, but some of that time i have run into it's issues.
i run into more issues when trying to kill mirrak in apocrypha than i do with any other quests, the game doesn't want the player to kill him to early, he has to get those other dragon souls before the player can actually kill him, but it's a stupid story mechanic that causes this bug because bethesda didn't think the player would kill mirrak so damn easily so the quest in killing him gets bugged to the point where he stays ethereal until the end of time, so the only way to fight him without that dumbass bug is to reload a previous save and fight him with kid gloves until the last part of the fight when he's absorbed all the dragon souls and only then he can be killed.
however i have noticed with some quests bethesda has allowed finishing quests that are bugged using alternate paths, like for example doing a quest out of order, the game wants you to do it a specific way, but it sometimes allows the player to finish that quest in another way, it's just they don't offer this with every quest in the game which is why some of these quests are so damn impossible to finish.
@@mups4016 Talos blessed someone it seems..
"Poor Nick can't get up here anymore, because this area's coordinates correspond perfectly with the entrance to Home Plate, which I've covered in suitcases." is the funniest reason for a bug I've ever heard
There's also a swim animation bug. Sometimes when you enter a body of water in a weird way the swim animation won't trigger and you'll be walking/running instead of swimming.
Yup it’s rare but it happened to me a few months ago.
Lol.
i think that has to do with the conflict that they used the gravity of the water to effect gravity animations in the game, which is likely why you can't really swim under water.
That's not a bug, it's Jesus, and it's a feature unique to him.
Even better with the creation club bugs. There is a creation called Tunnel Snakes Rule! That completely softlocks Out of Time and the intro to the minutemen questline by not allowing you to progress through the states of the quests. From what i read online it's supposed to be something about the quest id's but i don't really know. Even if you complete the quest your game still won't allow you to progress until you remove the creation from your game. Bethesda's recommended fix for this is not to move your character for about 20 minutes after you leave the vault lmao.
Yeah that doesn’t work for me. And no where I looked pointed me to this. If this is true, then I’d be so grateful. I’m gonna try this because holy crud is it annoying to have to kill a run.
If you are playing on PC, there is a bug fix mod on Nexus specifically for this piece of CC. It fixes the issue.
OHHH SO THATS WHY. Towards the beginning of my new playthrough i felt like it was taking longer than usual, but i was like "nah i'll just come back later" about 50 hours and dozens of levels later, i went back to Preston and he still only gave me random quests instead of retaking the castle 💀💀💀. Well, at least i just wanted to do everything with mainly the Railroad anyway.
Speaking of odd things with Dogmeat, equip a bandana on the pup. His carry weight shoots up to 150 pounds in survival mode, which can make early game scavenging much easier.
You'll need to unequip & re-equip the bandana should you exit the game & also occasionally during normal play. Still, the bandana = burro effect is helpful.
Oh, so is that why Dogmeat could hold so much when I played the game a few years ago? Neat.
If you command a follower (I think including dogmeat) to pick up an item, they will pick it up even if their carry weight is all used.
@Gal_Gaderp What!! 😮😮😮 Is that so... Thanks 😊😊
@@BoyKhongklai Yeah. Just remove anything he has that has weight. Give him the bandana (any), equip it, & close the dialogue box. Open it again and load him up with up to 149.9 pounds. The bandana weighs 0.1.
@@Mr._Anderpson Wow thanks! Tried it last night and now I'm looting everything 😂

Speaking of bugs, a group of radroaches have been giving a nearby settlement some trouble. The settlers can certainly use some help. Here... let me mark the location on your map
Oh my gaw bruh aw helll nah man wtf man who invited this kid? Get your aaahh on boi
I had a bug in my Fallout 4 save that is kind of beneficial. I had an attack on the castle that damaged the radio broadcast. When I fixed it and reassigned the operator, the minutemen radio was gone.
That's funny 😂😂😂
The Dogmeat conveyor dupe can be done without Dogmeat. You can just grab the item yourself as it enters. Yes it does take some practice to get the timing right.
sounds more reliable than the dog meant meth- WAIT CAN YOU DO BOTH AT ONCE? I GOTTA TRY THIS HOLY SHIT LMAO
I’m surprised the shipbreaker quest bug hasn’t been mentioned. 😅
You can use the conveyer belt glitch to copy the You're Special book
so does the effect stack? i have never used the conveyer belt thing, i couldn't be bothered to use that feature in my game ever lol, i hate the settlement system in so many ways, i normally just do the bare minimum for my settlements so i can do other things, they just made the settlement system to much work to care about, like i want to enjoy the game more than i want to build.
the only mod i like that takes over the building of settlements is sim settlements, but that mod comes with it's own bullshit issues, so if you just want the settlement building and stop there, and never move forward in the quest, it's a great mod when it comes down to automated built cities in the commonwealth.
problem is i actually like the sim settlements story that i want to continue, but it's so god damn buggy that it makes the game unplayable in so many ways.
@user-tp5yb4hr4w yes you can get 10+ in all special states with it. Turn on survival mode and wait a few days so that your specials are debuffed and you can really stack them
@@joshuabillings5108
i guess it's just one of those things in the game i couldn't be bothered with doing.
i tend to like questing more than messing with exploits, i almost never go after the exploits, maybe if i was a console player i might mess with that feature.
but then again i hate survivor mode in the vanilla game, it seems like it was made as an after thought because it has so many issues in the way it works.
i tried it once and it was simply not enjoyable, it was more clunky than the vanilla game experience and it annoyed me that i couldn't find a bed anywhere because back when i tried survivor mode it was in my first playthrough of the game and you can't find anything, the only way it might be enjoyable is if the mechanic came with some other features like a sleeping bag mechanic and a backpack to hold all your crafting stations, unfortunately you have to get mods to fix the bad survival mechanics bethesda built into the game.
that's why it in many ways feels like it was an after thought on bethesda's part.

Actually Fallout 4 runs like a dream on the series x, The games not perfect but I bet most people with issues are using bad mods (like the unofficial patch) or have bad load orders.
FYI: The unofficial patch makes far harbor unplayable with crashes on Xbox. I learned the hard way by playing a full game with just the unofficial patch. I can’t speak for playstation or PC but on xbox, I know for a fact it will break your game.

@@B1GTraV Sure I do. Whether I paid for them is another question.
You know it's a modern masterpiece, when people are still FURIOUSLY complaining 8 years later 😂
It's good in some ways, and terrible in other ways.
The Creation Club Tesla cannon adds an invisible effect to the player that randomly makes friendly NPCs hostile. So you could be talking to Virgil or another quest NPC and they'll just start blasting you for no reason, even without the Tesla cannon equipped.
the only bugs i care about are the ones that screw up the games quests, most of them i don't really care that much as they are really small unnoticeable most of the time, like a seam on the ground in some water in a small section of the game, but if it fucks with the actual quests, that's when i lose my shit because these cause CTD's and freezing and other conflicts in the game.
however i feel the black face bug never gets fixed, it's literally in every bethesda created game they make with the creation engine, modders have tried to fix it, and some have, but it turns out to be caused by other factors relating to your ram or something, i upgraded my ram recently and it's still having this issue, and yet it's still the fault of the ram? then it's also caused when the game rains or when your in racemenu and it's caused when using other NPC facial replacers, that one is annoying as fuck and the only way to fix it is to quit the game and reload the game or to open up race menu and choose a preset to fix the stupid bug.
Really?
Never noticed that, only the visual bug of the Tesla cannon sparks and smoke remaining in the air if you reload a save after dying
Quite funny tbh and honestly not looking too bad as a little effect but die more than once with the Tesla cannon shooting and you won’t see anything anymore
Also the Tesla cannon is the prime example of just how boring and bad Fallout 4 combat really is
@@CMFZ_JaxFallout 4s combat on a base level is still leagues above the extremely robotic and stiff aiming that 3 and New Vegas have. For some weapons trying to shoot a target right in front of you without VATS is a nightmare, but for similar weapons in 4 it’s just fine
@@shadow-squid4872see here’s the thing with Bethesdas combat ‚it’s better than fallout 3‘
That’s the mark they have to hit, but that mark is even hit by overpriced asset flips on steam
Just because it’s better than fallout 3 doesn’t mean it’s good or something to desire, fallout 4s combat is still miles below anything else that even remotely is in the FPS or ARPG genre
Never happened to me 😁
Cool to see Part 3 about this topic! To complement the list:
- The lever action Rifle Reload count Bug; needs to wait the animation be completed to start shooting again, you can not shoot 1 or 2 round because the weapon never was reloaded :/
- Radscorpions/Molerats Jumpscares Bug; THIS is the Ultimate Heart Attack, for some weird reason if you use a weapon with a scope and catch/saw a Radscorpion in your line-vision at far distance, even HIDDEN they automaticly detects you and teleports EXACTLY where you at!!! (They have 100 perception, Goddly 6th sense/arachnid sense and Detects the Ki of their foe, like Goku in DBZ)
- Bulletsponges Enemies and Intimadation/Animal Friend/Wasteland Whisper become useless (More like a Game Design Flaw that leads into a Bug); since Bethesda did cut the level cap to make a more fun game, the enemies will continue leveling up their HP and level cap will be higher than the Player's Level Cap, making those perks useless.
My absolute favourite "bug" is when you turn around too quickly and the game crashes, I think the design team spent more time pooing in eachothers mouths than they did playtesting this thing

It astonishing how many of these bugs are able to fly under the radar. Like the bug with the random encounters or the settler ai pathfinding.

Ive done the conveyor bug without dogmeat - just grab the item the moment it gets sucked in the container. Timing is still needed, but dogmeat isnt.
The thing i duplicated was the "You're Special" book, which can be found near the crib in Sanctuary. This book grants one more special point on a skill.
Now duplicating this book with the conveyor bug lets you choose 1 more special point per duplicated book, up to 10 for every skill.
Now switch over to survival mode, grab a chair and wait 2-3 days until youre hungry and exhausted which will give negative stats to your skills... then again duplicate some "You're Special" books - BAM! You can add more skill points to your skills. Switch back from survival to any other difficulty, and you can have 14-20 special points on each skill.
Dont go over 10 on charisma though, because the settlements will bug if you have too many settlers in there (population will be charisma+11 afair).
It's the Tunnel Snakes creation club content that caused the museum of freedom quest to be locked out for me, it caused the game to not detect that you cleared out the raiders to progress the quest. I tried the quest setstage command to forcefully progress the quest but it didn't work. Since I'm on pc, I simply disabled the esl plugin for it instead.
This kinda Bethesda BS is why Starfield sucks. It was tolerable in their first proof of concept, Morrowind. But after that, they never got it together, and keep piling ontop of their poor development practices.
I really don't like Nuka World and Far Harbour but having them installed includes them in random location fetch quests. I'd uninstall them but that's something else that, apparently, Bethesda didn't anticipate.
for the 5th bug you listed from the video, there is mod that can fix this problem + several other bugs that are related with 3rd person player+PA race, its called Misc anims fix, and you can use creation kit to generate new anim text data to fix some modded weapons too

I don't know if you talked about this already, but I encountered a game breaking bug with the quest 'The Lost Patrol' on Xbox 1
What happened was that I did the quest AFTER the BOS arrived, brought Danse along, and passed the speech checks to get Paladin Brandis to rejoin.
Then i went to Sanctuary afterwards and got out of my power armour, and the 'companion liked/disliked that' message started appearing non-stop. Then the game crashed, and everytime I tried to get back into the game, it would freeze and crash at the homscreen.
I contacted both Bethesda and Microsoft, but after exhausting all options, they both eventually said that I had to delete my saves and restart the whole game.
I told them that I found at least two other users on forums who had the exact same problem, and Bethesda said they would look into it.
I tried the quest before the BOS arrived, and to my relief the same thing did not happened.

Yep, that's it son
I got a bug where radio static plays no matter what. It plays over the world music, the radio music, the loading screens, etc.. If I load back it still plays. The bug bled into all of my saves so no matter what I do, I'm hearing radio static FOREVER. So I just uninstalled the game and haven't played it since.
Just remember, If you use the “unofficial patch” your game will become unplayable and constantly crash till you end up in a reddit community praising New Vegas 💯
The Vertibird AI is not bugged, per se. It’s based upon dragon flight AI from Skyrim. Dragons Circle and then land; so do vertibirds, but Bethesda never coded proper landing for the Vertibirds, thus, they crash. This was explained by one of the devs in a NoClip Documentary interview.
Deathclaws are just werewolves...
This, despite the fact that vertibirds frequently land and discharge BoS troops in the vanilla game?
@@rickmccl71 Those are usually scripted events. Like when the Prydwynn enters the commonwealth for the first time. Or when you’re deployed to take out the fort and recover mininukes. Random encounters with Vertibirds usually crash. I’ve never seen a random encounter vertibird successfully land and launch troops. Or in the random event, the bird spawns in on the ground as if it’s landed and the troops are just nearby.
The devs need to enable an overdrive mechanic (not mod), I can't undergo the "I Am Legend" experience with dogmeat in the city without the game crashing.
what is an overdrive mechanic and what does it do?
It prevents the game from freezing when the frames per second are low. Supposedly when the game is just about to freeze, it allows the game to impair with unloaded cache reserve by loading briefly. It's only called for if the game is installed.@@5226-p1e

Don't use Creation Club ever. Not only because you are supporting the predatory CC these mods tend to wreak havoc on your mod load order or screw with other mods. Add to that the way they can corrupt saves and you've got a whole lot of nope happening.

I only get the CC content if it's 100% off (on Xbox). The same CC content completely breaks the PS4/5 Fallout 4.

If you play on PC Xbox Game Pass, you'll encounter a bug where any random explosion will basically just permanently break the game. Like looking in the direction of the explosion will cause 2-5 fps no matter where you are on the map. Because its not Steam, its very difficult to fix this with mods.
I had a vanilla YOLO run that was ruined because of this. Only fix is to load an earlier save and avoid the areas with explosive objects.
ah, yeah that has to do with Nvidia and bethesdas weapon fx issues, some modder came up with a fix, but it only solves part of the issue, it seems to not be something that can fully be fixed.
i use PC and an Nvidia card and i learned about this recently, just look up Weapon Debris Crash Fix on the nexus, it's the only mod that will help in this regard, bethesd seemed to screw this up and they offered a fix in the main launcher, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
i'm honestly afraid of what bethesda means to do with the next gen upgrade of FO4, because i feel they don't know what the hell they are doing, they had to rely on a 3rd party program to make their stupid starfield to work good, aka DLSS.
i just don't have any hope or trust in them to get the job done without making the game far worse than it already is.

tunnel snakes C.C pack breaks the trigger for taking Preston and his group to sanctuary, to fix you need to send them to sanctuary first before installing the pack. happened all the time on top tier computers.
Creation Club Delayed does work, I had to use it because the CC broke the main quest at the start of the game. And I do have a newer PC and strong hardware, but I use a ton of mods too, and some of them also come with start game enabled quests that run their scripts immediately. All of these together with the main quest scripts break the main quest right from the bat if you don't use some mod that delays at least the CC stuff.
I encountered a visual glitch bug the other day while doing Pickman's Gallery the other day. All blood spray was just big square blotches. For whatever reason the bug also stopped me from saving and loading. No idea what triggered it but I do play on PS4. I'm not ever going to give Bethesda more money for something I already own.
Just to add - the 0 kb bug on PlayStation can occur without any mods or Creation Club installed. It seems to be accepted that Creation Club content is the culprit, when clearly it’s just part of the problem, given I had (albeit quite bloated) save with absolutely no cc or mods installed and still got the bug!
The big bug I have noticed is with power armor paint from the creation club I apply it and it gives me and error in the discription of the piece of power armor I applied it to it started when I got the ai power armor mod from the creation club

04:03 The locations used for random encounter seemingly have a limit on the amount of encounters that can spawn and once this limit is reached no more encounters will spawn at this location.
To make matters worse you can end up exhausting a locations random encounters without even realising it by simply getting too close to the area and some encounters are repeatable even though they should have been a one off events. The funniest example of this is the Art vs Art random encounter because it can end up with both Art's locked in an endless fight to the death with each other every time their encounter gets spawned into the world.
Another reason why random aren't spawn might be due to the fact that one of the NPC's in the test cell the random encounters are stored in until they are spawned on the map turned hostile to every other NPC and killed them (the main culprit on PC and Xbox is apparently Ness).

I learned the first time I played that weapon debris on crashes the game on the run for the vault before the bombs drop.
yeah that fix helps, but the game still suffers from CTD when using the bigger bombs such as your fatman or anything that causes a huge bomb to go off while you play.
as far as i know the only bomb that is stable is the institute going up in flames lol, because that one is just esthetics, it doesn't actually cause a whole lot of damage because it's an effect.
I have hundreds of hours on Fallout 4 for Xbox. And have a ton of the CC content (always wait for items to be 100% off). I decided to try Fo4 on PS5 lately. There are many bugs (that have been payched on xbox) that havent been patched on PS. And as soon as i installed some free CC content, got the 0KB save bug, making the game completely unplayable. Bethesda needs a lawsuit at such massive neglect to their customers products.
Community fixes are Bethesda bug fixes. Where have you been? Why pay employees to fix the game that should have been working before you launched it when your players will buy it anyway and fix it for you to boot. Bethesda should have been forced to close its doors long ago but because people still buy whatever buggy bland reskinned mess they shove out their doors they continue to think they make good games on their "revolutionary" engine.
This is one of my favourite games but it is so in spite of the bugs and terrible game design. I don't think Bethesda game two tosses about this game and it's the poster child for Bethesda's lazy game design that persists to this day. Unless they get rid of Todd Howard I don't think we'll ever see true innovation from them again.
cant forget the bug that causes you to be unable to dismiss a companion from your company because you exited a conversation with an NPC some time ago, so that conversation never technically ended.
Seriously thought the last meant you could somehow duplicate Dogmeat himself with the conveyer. 😂
This is the first video I've watched so far, but there's two DLC related glitches in regards to completing Quests:
1. *Shipbreaker*
I'm not sure what causes the bug (lol), but I recall getting it getting my health low and I like running off and waiting until I'm [H I D D E N] for my health to replenish. I'm not sure if that causes the bug or not doing it for a certain amount of time after triggering it causes the bug to soft lock where I couldn't find it anymore.
Another instance is where I started the quest in terms of finding it, but it sort of not progress further than 95%-99% after a while of searching, it doesn't show up at all and I didn't get the whole Shipbreaker has been lost message didn't show up in either save.
2. *The Mechanist*
There's a soft lock where you make it all the way to The Mechanist where there's a possibility of a Robot not showing up before taking care of The Mechanist herself. The only fix I found was uninstalling and reinstalling it. The game puts you into The Root Cellar. At least, that's where the game put me when i loaded the save after uninstalling.
9:57 I was playing fallout 76 while watching this video and when he said crash my fallout froze and crashed 💀
Wow, except the creation club thing which I never used, I had all of them consistently...
The Tunnel Snakes Rule creation club mod causes a ton of bugs. If you have it when starting a new game, Codsworth is bugged
Eat some bear ribs and then take a rank in Big Leagues. The boost from the food item becomes permanent. You can do this five times, to the point where your trusty machete or bat flatten deathclaws in one swing.
3.Random encounters don’t reset.
Maybe this just reflects the real world, were places are ‘dead’ after clearing it with shotgun diplomacy. Ideally you should be able to ‘set place occupy by ’ were the faction is whoever faction you side with. You can see this at checkpoints in late-game.
Bethesda is just incompetent, we saw that with Failout 76 and Starfield.
Oh, so the godrays and weapon debris are the reason for the EXTREME slowdowns when I randomly hit objects and rocks and stuff.
Don't know why I do that, but I know I'd rather get rid of these effects than stop doing that😂
Yep, on my old GTX 1060 weapon debris dropped the framerate to 1-2 fps after hitting objects with melee weapons. That might be because I kept my drivers up to date. It's better than crashing, I guess.
"You may need to downgrade your PC for this game" - Todd Howard
@@PancuroniumB That reminds me of how Skyrim had less bugs on my older PC. That was before the Anniversary Update, too, so it couldn't have been that.
It's amazing how Bethesda continues to bend the logic of technology
i started watching some starfield videos and now im down this "bethesda sucks" rabbit hole and i kind of think im starting to hate bethesda now..

The next gen update is going to be bad, it's going to wipe out a lot of mods that ya can use, and with it a lot of bug fixes.
7:43 oh so that’s what was happening it took me a while to figure out that it had to be related to the creation club which that and mods on ps4 are the buggiest features I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with because there’s a lot of bugs surrounding the creation club some I’m not sure if are actually bugs like for example another problem that happens when using creation club content is for some reason that content along with save data contribute to the data cap for mods
negative stats permanet in perception for a head strike or poison, buff permanent in survival , Food farm showing extra menu to store or move crop but it kick you from the game , settlers with stuck animations in farming places , magazine extra damage in scoop dont work , Good intentions and tessa fist dont dropp from enemie always , instakill cars , railroad quest in nukaworld stuck in galaxy zone, pistol 10 magazine large cant be moved to another pistol 10m except quick large magazine, etc.
The Nexus Mods site is utter aids
For the soft-locking bug of CC mods, I use Creation Club Delayed from nexus mods to get by. Works like a charm.
You shouldn't have to
@@TheWoollyFrog On the contrary, I do. May not happen to you, but it does for me and other people.
@@Donnlour What I meant to say is that paid mods should be of higher quality than the free ones and therefore you shouldn't have to download patches for them to work.
The furniture mods are fine though if you're into building
Tbh i think Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has more issues than Fallout 4
My opinion on bugs is there should be as few as possible. Any bug fix is good. If its serious like downtown Boston crashing all the time or quests not working to minor ones like dupes and dead bodies being streatched out or some enemies get hit and fly to the stratosphere. That said i hate killing legendary enemies and not getting my legendary item. Yes even if its cryo boxing gloves
if you want to get bethesda to fix a bug, find a bug that gives you an advantage in the game.
i think the worst part is, that they not only failed to fix alot of these bugs, but also managed to port them into fallout 76.
just goes to show how fecking lazy bethesda are. Especially seeing as most of them have been already fixed by the community through the unofficial patch. But Bethesda couldn't even bother to thank the creators and perhaps give them a monetary reward for then using the damn mod and make it officially part of a patch for the game.
There is another bug where if you use the creation club DLC for vault snakes it breaks codsworth at the start of the game and you can't progress the main quest.
loved the vid, absolutely eager for the skyrim version!
I keep hearing Curie talk in the distance everytime i go inside a building. Im on a vanilla plathrough so its very odd. Does anyone have an explanation? Lol its kinda creepy cause she goes quite for a few minutes then starts talking and it scares the shit out of me
It's linked to the robco factory near the Castle, if you go in there and leave again without finishing the Mr Handy orientation rooms her voice will follow you into every interior cell
"punish the child"
I remember crashing the game when I tried to order a settler buged to do something
One more to add to the Creation Club nonsense: The Tesla Cannon makes characters fight you. The Creat6ion Club version of the fan-favorite weapon, The Tesla Cannon, was integrated in a way that adds a hidden, unseen perk that surrounds the player with a radioactive field. To most characters, this isn't a problem...but it kills Harvey of Nuka World instantly and makes both The Mechanist and Virgil go hostile as soon as you get within speaking distance to either character. There have been fixes uploaded to the Nexus, but they didn't work for me. FOR ME. That doesn't mean they don't work entirely; other players have said they work fine.
To that Creation Club "Too Many Scripts" bug. The Creation Club scripts fire off right as you leave the Vault (or try to)...there's a mod on the Nexus that moves the spawn point out to the Commonwealth in spots that make sense...it's called "Creation Club Delayed"; I HIGHLY recommend that; works great for me. This bug can also affect Codsworth's first quest with you...he'll kill the first set of insects in Sanctuary and just stall out.
And finally, there's a few quests that tell you to tune your radio to a certain frequency to start a quest...and then doing so just gets static. :P Nuka World does this for me a lot; the Tunnel Snake's Creation Club can glitch out this way as well.
Funny how community mods are better and less broken than the official Bughtesda backed CC garbage. Also i am one of those unfortunate souls who suffered form the debris bug and fun fact that debris not only tanks your performance like crazy even on high end GPUs not because the GPU is weak but because the engine shits itself not knowing wtf to do it also increases the RAM usage like crazy, i used to play Fallout 4 on a bare minimum specs or it which is best to see issues like this and the debris made the ran usage go from 9GB average to full 16GB usage until the game's engine couldn't handle anymore.
I now long since upgraded my rig to a whole new one and have no problems anymore given how strong it is but debris is still always off,it's a minor detail that is more than 100% not worth the trade off. It eats way way too much performance to be worth having on so i advise anyone and everyone playing this game to completely turn it off.
People compain about unstable buggy game play.
Me with 100+ settlers, over 10times build limit, FPS drop in one settlement: this is... aceptable.
yeah, most of the time we are the cause, however it could also be Bethesda's modular design to the game that effects the game on the larger scale of things.
i once got a mod that allowed me to scrap everything in my settlements and i found out real quick just how detailed every location bethesda created and every area is at least 100s of objects around each and every object, bethesda couldn't just turn these thousands of assets into one large object so instead of the engine counting these things as 1 massive object it counts as literal 100s to 1,000s to 10,000,000s of assets per location, which is 100% the reason why their games are so unstable.
just imagine sanctuary without these thousands of objects all turned into 1 massive object, and suddenly you will see you can build anything no matter how much crazy you want to go because that massive object doesn't cause as much as a performance hit in playing the game.
so when you consider the city of Boston and wonder why the location is so fps heavy, this is literally way it's so damn bad on your performance and why your game will often CTD or drop to it's knees in your fps count going under 20fps in some of these locations.
this is likely why they designed starfield the way they did, they know cells can only handle so much, but the reason why everyone had to upgrade their pc to play the game is because bethesda really could get away with this idea if you had the best of the best hardware, because it couldn't be done very well with anything lessor.
In the german version of Fallout 3, texts on terminals just overflow if they are to long. They are cut off and you can't read the rest, because clicking brings you to the next screen. There is no scolling. It was the first thing I checked when I got Fallout 4 and it is STILL there. Not sure about other languages, but I stopped playing translations some time ago.
You pay full prince and can't even get a google translate level
Yes, my neighbor This is reason Why I never Play in Polish Language in Bethesda Game And + mod issues.

One issue with a mod fix is the energy weapons being unaffected by perks which can be fixed using Energy Weapon Calculation Fix
Check your fire we’ve got hostiles!
The next-gen release will do nothing but break mods and create more bugs in the vanilla game. I have no faith in it.
Yes, you are Nostradamus And 100% Correct. Never trust Bethesda or Blizzard or 343 They cannot deliver.
Friendly reminder make sure your choice saves are backed up to secondary media because just yesterday I got a bug from the BOS quest line at Cambridge I turned in a mission for Rhys and my game crashed and wiped out 750 hours of saved games I feel like I should be in the hospital. I restarted but there's no way I'm going to play this game for another 750 hours to put everything back. Instead of a community leader I think I'm just going to be a raider this time because I'm an idiot who still loves the game even after it destroyed me
DONT BREAK MY MODS.
I dont need a chunk of my mods needing updates or un-installation just for minor bug fixes and minimal content that didnt have to break the game like Skyrim has repeatedly done.
One way to save money is Stay away from Creation Club and do not spend money there, I know I never do nor will I
Bugs that i have never encountered in my 3 playthroughs lol
It'd be cool if a potential part 3 included the dreaded Greenetech Genetics glitch that makes the entire area surrounding Greenetech Genetics (a place you have to go to in order to progress the main quest) inaccessible. Any attempts to get near GG, even as far as Ticonderoga Safehouse or flying over in a vertibird during Shadow of Steel, will cause your game to crash. There is no fix, official or otherwise, and the bug exists on all systems. The only way around it is to do everything that you need to in the area immediately after starting a new game, because at some point the area will be effectively locked off forever. You can revert to an older save to try and get in before it "activates", but this could cost you dozens of hours of progress, with no way to know when the bug happened except through trial and error. This bug just brought my latest save game to an end, so I know it's still there, and my years-long search for a fix has turned up only other people also looking for a fix.
The “unofficial patches” for Bethesda’s games are often times just a bunch of arbitrary changes that don’t really fix anything as much as change random things and sometimes that happens to cover a bug or two in the process.
You should look at daks attachment pack with over 300 attachements that released recently
Enemies are unkillable after level 100? Are you sure about that? After level 147 I stopped wearing armor/clothes aside from acrobat legendaries just for enemies to do some damage to me.
#3, I don’t mind this but, kind of makes the game more realistic sort of
Cool story General, but another settlement needs your help. Here, I'll mark it on your map.
Previsibines and Precombines breaking completely destroys your FPS. They break due to having any mod that modifies the game space, which is ironic since mods are basically the only reason this game is still played 8 years later. Would be nice if you included this in a part 2.
I have a fairly decent rig but even so much as looking at Boston causes my framerate to flatline lmao
I think you're overly harsh on the devs here tbh. Not that these bugs aren't egregious, but it's more likely problems with upper-management decision making and being hamstringed by dated technology than developer "laziness".
im guessing the animation related grenade glitch is caused by parts of the gun having the same name as parts of the grenade (like the stock sharing an ID with the grenade body) or something like that
The 0kb save glitch is so frustrating, cause on ps4 the mods are extremely limited so i like the added content... typically on sale. But with how easy it is to get that glitch to happen, and always after a long time without an auto save. Then the steps to avoid it are so freaking tedious...ugh
I had the constant combat music bug years ago and no matter what I did you couldn't get rid of it. Recently started the game again and the constant combat music loop bug is still there. But I don't care anymore, I deleted the game for good after hundreds of bugs Lol.
They are now canonically features
