The Confusing Installation Process
Fallout: London’s release has faced some turbulence, starting with a rather confusing installation process. Players have reported difficulties from the outset, including issues with the terminology used in the game. For instance, some modders have chosen to reference ‘soccer’ over ‘football,’ adding to the initial confusion.
The Dreaded ‘Train Crash’ Bug
Many players are currently grappling with a frustrating bug that significantly impacts their in-game health. This ‘train crash’ bug manifests when players ride a train through apocalyptic London during the initial hours of gameplay. The bug has dual detrimental effects: it crashes the game and disproportionately lowers the maximum health (HP) of characters with high endurance levels. Fallout: London’s lead writer, Callum Quick, has acknowledged the issue on Discord, assuring that it will be fixed in the first update. For those experiencing one-tap deaths from minor threats like foxes, Quick highlights this bug as the likely culprit.
Temporary Solutions and Workarounds
Until the update is released, Quick suggests a manual fix. Players should calculate their character’s intended max HP using a specific formula, compare it to the current max HP, and adjust it using the ‘modav’ console command. It’s advisable to avoid using the ‘setav’ command. Those playing on survival mode may need to briefly switch to hard or normal mode to access the console. Alternatively, a mod is available that allows console access in survival mode.
Looking Ahead
While waiting for the official update, players have recommended other mods to fix additional bugs, such as the ‘bugged beer pad,’ which halves damage output when carried. Despite these temporary solutions, Team Folon is diligently working on improving the installation process and resolving various in-game technical issues. For further assistance, players are encouraged to refer to the solutions megathread shared by the developers on Reddit, which provides comprehensive answers to numerous game-related problems.
