Just started replaying this on ps5 and am loving it all over again!
It crashes a hell of a lot though, losing a lot of progress.
I've switched off all of the auto saves and this has helped. But need to remember to save often in case of being killed unexpectedly by a random death claw during my travels! laugh
Got the deliverer pistol but it doesn't seem as powerful as I remember, any tips for making this better guys? Cheers thumbup
This is why I'd never play a Bethesda RPG on a console..

I play on PC, it hardly ever crashes, autosaves don't cause issues... And I don't even run any of the community patches.

My advice, get it on PC. Goes on sale on Steam often enough.

Odd. I replayed it on a PS5 (slim) and I don’t recall it crashing at all. Which isn’t much help I know, just that given the fixed platform you’d expect a similar experience.

Before the recent Bethesda money grab update that has caused new problems?

Probably - played the PS5 version pretty much as soon as it was released and was all done within a couple of weeks. Wasn't aware of an update.

Cheers guys, I don't have a PC so only do console gaming thumbup
To be fair, since turning off all autosaves it doesn't really crash anymore. It's bloody annoying dying unexpectedly though having forgotten to save. Forgot my power suit the other day and was running round in my undies and got killed by a bloatfly! laugh

What happened to Fallout London? Re-installed FO4 to play it and it seems to have gone away due to the game update. Anyone know if it's coming back?

They got hit very hard by the new updates that Bethesda vomited out, and have had to push back the release date "indefinitely" until the tools they rely upon are updated and then they do their own fixes and extensive testing. Then they will give a new release date.
