Some ideas about reducing crashes

Now listen.I ain't that much of a programmer,so excuse myself if I'm talking total poop.

This specilation mostly contains feedback from a unsupported device(a IPhone 4S),which means the real issue might be different for higher RAMmed devices.


1.Let us choose if we want to render the game 2D or 3D.

This should be able to be toggled in the main menu,and will be forced to anyone who runs the game on a unsupported device.

Mainly because of all the lag that happens when you zoom in on a room.


2.Events(like deathclaws,radroaches etc),incidents and sixual intercourses should automatically terminate themselves after a minute in background mode.

This is mainly because incidents make logging into a vault harder,but it should also help when things get a little out of hand.This could be abused,but still,better something than nothing right?


3.Change the baby system.

I've noticed that naming the new baby thing is extremely vulnerable to crashing.

Trust me,there's nothing more annoying than successfully loading your vault and getting baby-kicked out.

So,either make the thing pop-up after sometime of smooth gameplay,OR make it automatic so that

I can dont have to do it at all.

I'd personally like a option where I can put the pregnant lady in a medbay and doctors would help with giving birth,but that seems complicated..


4.Children are evil.


This is more of a bug,but if a child gets irradiated,they become a plague vector.They spread death and worse,cannot be cured until they grow up.Worse than super mutants if you ask me.


5.The zooming in problem


I personally think zooming in is great.If it isn't 50% of the reason I crash.

I think we would be more pleasant if pib-boy going 'uh oh' for bad events,and showing him in a tuxedo when there's a marriage going on,instead of zooming into that room.


6.Hide effects mode


I don't know why,but getting lunch boxes/large amount of caps seems to strangle my RAM a lot.Turning the effects ambient or less flashy could be some help I think.



As a closure,I'd like to remind our community that Bethesda isn't a huge company.Skyrim had about 100 people working on it,and I presume fallout 4 has more.

Which means we aren't likely to get any content/fixes like we want to,since fallout 4 isn't done yet.

Have patience,and keep in mind that some devices aren't supported for this game,even though it runs fine with other games.
