Anyone else getting activity on their pre-load for Fallout 4? I had it down loaded when Steam released the ok to do so. Now, I just went on Steam and I see there is activity. Any Ideas? Patch maybe?

Yup its normal don't worry about it.

It will depend on where you live in the world. When it gets unlocked. They will patch things, or add things to the download for us to keep us from digging into the files before release, if there is an issue that is game breaking they will even patch it before the release remember the reviewers already have it and are giving feedback as they go.

gonna be a long day....


 
 
but gives me more time to think about it. good or evil? male or female? run straight through or look and explore every little thing? Thinking good, male, look at everything but will end up going the exact oppisite direction

HAHA yup, same kinda thoughts here.  I am a SC fan and since that game is WAY shorter I will beat that first before getting TOO into FO4 , as FO4 im sure will consume most/all of my game time for a while.
I will likely play my typical antihero/vigilante I usually play, and spend a lot of time wandering aimlessly in the desert, just seeing what bit of randomness I find out there.
I finished my preload around 9pm last Saturday through Steam, really looking forward to the game.

Thoughts so far?  I fought back OMPA (old man pass out) last night and played a few hours.
 
So far, so good imho.

Loving it, looks absolutely amazing so far. Have just left the vault, and she is heading out to start her rein of terror, and find who took her son.  but no problems what so ever. Running driver 358.91

 
 

Thanks for posting updates guys. I am slobbering all over myself. Cant wait till the 14th to get it. Game has been out for only 10 hours and there are 25 mods already at nexus.

GAH!!!!!  I really want to play this.  It's gonna have to wait a bit though.

Anyone having SLI issues with it. Playing it at 4K but it seems there is no SLI profile yet.

I have to say playing it from 12 am to 7am then 9am to 12pm. It is more than epic. I am blown away.

I didn't put that much time into it yet but what time I did I am really impressed. The graphics are stunning. My 770 classified is getting pushed around a little. I'll have to go in and reduce a few things.

How's the performance of the game?  How well will my 980 Ti be able to run it at 4k?

Running a single T-X and 3770k @ 4.2 at 4k and to get it to play  smooth for the most part I had to turn off AA completely,  put godrays on low (which doesn't make much difference anyway) and set shadow quality/distance to high. All else is maxed/ultra. Of course the frame rate does what it wants when it wants some times, such as tanking in a closed off corridor but peaking while looking across the waste during the day (???).    

I haven't really checked my FPS but the few times I glanced over it was 71 or higher. All settings on Ultra at 1920x1080 144 Hz and everything is smooth. No crashes like Fallout 3 yet. It seems pretty stable to me. Once or twice I got 'stuck' and had to load a previous save to get going again. I save quite often just in case of these things.

It plays at a solid 60 FPS (V-Sync enabled) for me at 1200P at High (autodetect).

Yay!!!  I was able to get it.  Just finished downloading it.  Getting ready to start after I update drivers.

i got flames!
