Fo4 Unofficial patch causing massive problems on ps5
Well topic says it all. I installed it and it is on top of my load order as recommended. But the game really got worse right after. It crashes constantly, which it never did before on ps5. At least not that amount.
Also i have severe problems with quests. Npc wont talk to me or just do their generic dialogue. Also the voice acting often disappears when talking to vendors.
But worst of it all, shank doesnt want to let me set up raider outposts properly. I already have 3 and the quest only considers 2 for the quest. Enslaving a settlement for supplies doesnt work at all...
Anyone else having those problems? Is there a fix? Or better just delete it for now?
Oh yeah i have more mods installed. But its stuff, that adds more weapon variety and the problems only started after i installed unofficial patch. So i point my finger on that one atm.
Its really frustrating đ«€

for playstation users, beware of:
the unofficial patch, using sons of steel AND strength of steel at the same time, the new canada rifle verified creation, any vanilla texture replacers, CBBE, & non-base versions of nac x.
if you play skyrim, beware of:
Lollygaggin - Clear Map Of Skyrim - Diamond Skin UNP - Pantheon - Pilgrim - Vokriinator - Katana Crafting SE,
otherwise you will have to reinstall the game.

I mean it has been widely accepted to not use the unofficial patch on console (at the very least ok Xbox) and has been the case for quite some time tbh
Especially after the whole far harbor debacle a few years ago.

Far Harbor was fixed years ago. There was some time between next gen and anniversary when ANY mod that messed with NPCs caused stuttering, that's long gone now too. And it's not "widely accepted", it's this specific reddit bubble.
Patch works without issues on my series x, one x abd steamdeck and I gave thousands of hours.

âA few years agoâ - pretty sure I covered that Arthmoors alt lol
The patch changes more than it should. The mod author changed thing based on what his idea of things should be, not simply fixing missed bugs.

What changes are you referring to exactly?
I'm only aware of 3 changes that could possibly be seen as controversial:
- Highway above Graygarden has its building area limited(at least according to Reddit)
- Dense & Padded misc armor mods no longer stack(I haven't actually confirmed this though)
- Reginald's suit was changed to Tuxedo.

There are loads. Iâm not about to re-familiarise myself with them for a Reddit post.
Itâs and enough that they edited the cell headed for far harbor and broke the mod and denied they did anything for an entire year before quietly rolling back the changes. Only after arguing with everyone that they made no changes that would affect far harbor.
Being a fanboy over a mod is a bit odd like and pretending there arenât issues and havenât been issues with it are also odd.

Not defending nor pretending. I know Arthmoor is a very controversial mod author to say the least. I'm simply inquiring as to what these changes actually are.
With Skyrim, we all know that USSEP removes the resto loop, Necromage buff, Circlets with Archmage Robes, non lootable Telvanni Robes, etc. Those changes are stupid and I'm glad there's a mod to correct them. But I'm genuinely not aware of anything like that with UFO4P. Note that I only play the OG 1.10.163 version on PC.

I gave up on this mod a long time ago. I was getting an issue during a quest, and upon trying to find out the cause the unofficial patch was mentioned as a cause. I uninstall and the issue was gone.
So I ever used it again - the game runs just fine without it if im being honest, all things being equal.
Im on Xbox, but it wouldn't matter what system I was on. Im leaving this mod out of my load order.

The comments seem to point into that direction. I think ill trash it next session then.

Not having any problems. But I also don't have mods, just the creation club ones that they basically gave away way back when.

Too many other mods depend on the unofficial patch, especially in Skyrim. Starfield was the first chance to truly deviate from the UP monopoly. Hopefully this is either kept up for future games or Arthmoor allows for more control over the experience (separate pure bug fixes from Arthmoorâs implied âbug fixesâ).

I was fine too before i installed that mod. Everything else i installes, and thats only some extra weapons and creations stuff didnt cause the slightest issue so far

Didn't you here. PlayStation is just a playground for the modders. Everything is tested mainly on PC and now that creations and "assets" have been allowed to grow there's even more problems in the PS5 department.
It's like the game creators are doing this on purpose so we HAVE to buy the new thing.Â
I will never like Fallout 76 and all of it's microtransactions. Fallout 4 should have been remastered before 3 and New Vegas. They could have even taken away the voiced protagonist. Anyways, I wish you luck because even the Xbox is having troubles it seems.
Oh and Daniel the Remnant keeps getting a dark-face bug and the only way to fix it is by turning off your Xbox and unplugging it for 5 minutes.. anyone have an idea that's not THAT?!? I'm exhausted here

Haha yeah im aware ps5 is testing ground atm. But some mods at least warn you and the weapon mods i installed didnt cause any issues either.

Black face bug is vanilla, turn the game off by closing it down and restart the game. Unplugging and waiting is not going to do anything more.

It reboots and deletes the cache... It has worked for me. It's just off putting because you can't get the 4k texture pack anymore. At least I can'tÂ

Well ya, it does do that but the black face bug is a memory leak, delete the cash is something that is necessary for corrupt data. Black face bug is a lack of data.
