Over close to 30 hours I have only had 2 crashes and no freezes. Is the curse broken?

    I don’t know about PCs, but I played Skyrim and Fallout 4 on consoles immediately upon release and had no issues.

    Fallout New Vegas on the other hand, I quit because I got deep into a major quest and a bug kept me from being able to finish it.

      I dunno, Fallout 4 on console for me was a mess. It would crash moments within going into the inner parts of Boston. So like, a good chunk of the map was off limits.

      Same here. Apart from Skyrim PS3, the console version of their previous titles were pretty much crash-free

    I played the game on PC for 8 hours, at least 5 crashes already. Additionally, it runs poorly with low FPS even at low settings. The game does not look nice, it has loading screens everywhere. I am very disappointed with the game. I am unfortunately already to far in to get a refund. I’ll probably wait a couple of years to start playing for real.

        Playing on 1440p res, PC config: 1080 TI with 11 GB VRAM + Intel i7 8700 + 32 GB + everything on SSD Not the newest of hardware, but still powerful enough to play basically anything I throw at it.

          You’re sitting g just around the minimum requirements for the game. You might want to try installing some performance mods, there’s some available already in the nexus I think, but there will be more coming soon

    I have 12 hours of playtime and the game has crashed more than 10 times for me. The crashes are quite annoying but thanks to autosave, I never lost too much progress.

    It’s even quite playable on my 1660 Super which is below the required GPU. I can get above 60 in a lot of places, but the more dense areas are 25-30, though dips to 25 are rare. Might even manage to get it more stable if it still uses the same old INI parameters as Fallout 4 and Skyrim, but I’ve just been playing the game instead of messing with the files. No crashes either, in 11 hours total game time.

    I have not played a lot of Bethesda games. Are you really considering 2 crashes in 30 hours a positive? I would expect the nominal number of crashes to be 0.

    Maybe it’s just that I play mostly indie games, so my standards are higher. I guess AAA studios just don’t have the resources to make working games like the little guys.
