Fallout: London When it was first released, it was described as “buggy” and “broken.”
You just Check out the review on the Fallout: London GOG pagecurrently has a pretty good 3.5 rating, which shows just how widespread the problem is. Reviews from people like DTESSurvivor call the game “unworkable” because many are stuck on the loading screen, while those who are able to load it call it “unplayable as is” due to frequent crashes.
Random crashes, the already infamous trainwreck, the F04 downgrader glitch. The list goes on. Better to wait until a fix is released and save yourself the hassle.
There’s a similar story on RedditFans who have been waiting for this mod have been discussing the issue, with some thinking it should have been postponed. Downgrading the game won’t fix the situation.There also seems to be quite a few balancing issues, with quite a few people complaining about the difficulty and lack of ammo on the project’s Discord server, which is either about that issue or people talking about temporary solutions to some of the mod’s more glaring problems.
Fallout: London criticized for ‘buggy’ and ‘broken’ release
It’s worth pointing out that there are plenty of people out there who sympathize with the developer’s plight and will overlook it because it’s a “community project with no QA team.” People aren’t the only ones upset about the performance. Honestly, it’s surprising that a mod of this magnitude even exists in this day and age. It’s free, so there’s no need to get too worked up about it.
The consensus seems to be that the base is solid, but more work is needed to get it into a state where it can be played with minimal issues. That being said, if you were planning to play Fallout: London after release, we recommend waiting a while for the developers to fix the biggest issues. Just like the official release of Fallout.
