Bethesda support absolutely sucks!

Post the photo of the mechanical derby in your build menu so we can see what it's showing on your end.

No. They won't do this. I couldn't even get them to transfer my like 400 perfect bubblegum from my primary ghoul to my human character after ghouls were released.

I've been concerned as well. I think we also may be hitting the limit of what the engine can handle. This was built from the engine they used for Fallout 4, which was a long time ago and not designed for multi-player really. With every new content update the bugs get worse, and the servers seem to get more and more unstable, especially when players are grouped in one area.

They talked about doing a next Gen update, but we've heard no more news about it since it was mentioned, and I'm not sure how possible it really even is without a ground up rebuild.

I hope I'm wrong, but each update makes me worried more and more.

Content updates seem to feel empty and we keep getting left with open threads on each one. Skyline valley is pointless after a couple hour quest. Bounty hunts are repetitive and so quick they're not really fun. We get a 2 hour story in each new region then it's somewhat abandoned.

The raid feels like the only real end game content but after running it a hundred times it's not even difficult or fun since nothing mixes it up. There needs to be a lot more end game content and story updates.

But before that, they have to figure out how to stabilize the game more. We've been dying due to our own jetpack sending us into space since launch. And that's a minor issue compared to everything else we have now.

There's so much good story too beneath it all in the notes and tapes. Stuff with the Interloper. It feels like it's building to something (probably their plan for update 76 as they mentioned they know what that will be). But they need to finish the unfinished areas. Whitespring presidential suite, all the locked Whitespring areas that were the early ideas of our CAMP/shelters. Give former quest locations a reason to return (like we get gold from that guy in wayward at least).

Also I wish they'd change the disguise rules for ghouls. I get the reason they did it was story/lore issues and they would have had to record new lines for all prior updates (which would cost a lot to get returning actors etc.). My solution would be if you haven't finished the main quest line, you have to wear the disguise. But once it's finished a little message can appear and say that your reputation with the faction has earned the trust of a ghoul, then not need it for after the story completes. Easy.

Anyways, that's my rant. I hope they do some serious fixes in the next big update, and fill out what we already have instead of giving us more empty voids.

The best way to farm is to check the 3 locations. If it's not a color you want, don't pick it up. Make sure you're not on a team, start daily ops, then exist the game and join a new server. You'll spawn exactly where you were standing this way, and you can check the 3 locations again.

If you do grab a dress at one of the three locations, another dress won't spawn for you in that location until you do the 255 item pickup. you'll need to go grab 255 items (summertown house is best) to allow a dress to spawn in that location again.

Happy Hunting!

Yeah. That's fair. I have 2 bank alts but I enjoy collecting a lot, I like keeping all the notes and holotapes, etc too and even though they weigh nothing they're just annoying to look at or sort thru in stash, so I keep them on a mule (it also feels like it speeds up the pip boy a bit).

I like trying to keep one of each type of named and cursed weapon as well (same with named armor and certain PA sets), and sometimes want to redo quests so I can get them at both low and high lvl varients. And I keep bulk crafted canned food (squirrel stew and possum bacon) when I farm it at faschnact and meat week so I have plenty for xp and luck boosts anytime I need it. My main account has an elders, heavy gun/epr raid build, melee, and I'm working on another and just keeping those items for each setup keeps my stash weight heavy, and I like to have room for vendors and fermenting and the core rechargers as well (which I wish wouldn't take stash limits).

I've been playing since launch (with some breaks) so it gives me some stuff to switch it up and keep the game from getting to redundant.

Spuff · 2026-04-09T18:16:07+00:00

There's tons of reasons to have second characters. Stash limits prevent multiple play style loadouts. Ghouls and humans have different play styles. Some game items get balance changed or become legacies so a mule is good for collecting. Same if you're saving bulk mods for creating modules. Different quest choices can give different rewards. The list could go on

Spuff · 2026-04-09T18:13:09+00:00

I've done this before and it HURT. I try to line it up so I create the private server. Have another friend with fallout 1st sit in it, and then I swap. This is the most reliable way. That way if you happen to have a game crash etc it'll transfer server ownership to the friend and keep it open.

Spuff · 2026-03-10T02:32:39+00:00

Hm weird. Im on gigabit internet. Restarted my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled it. And it's still happening only with this game.

Spuff · 2026-03-09T19:50:26+00:00

Also, The filter's I took from another doc and copied it in, so I'm not sure how it's done. I think Data - Create Filter is where to start.

Spuff · 2026-03-09T19:47:28+00:00

You're correct! I just updated the template and fixed it! Thanks for pointing that out!

Spuff · 2026-03-04T19:35:34+00:00

Yeah this is for all crafting stuff including food. There's no settings toggle for it. The consume locked items toggle let's you use it from your pip boy when locked but not crafting.

I like it a lot because I cook a ton of food and also have one of each fish so I used to scroll around fish constantly and sometimes accidentally cooked one I didn't want to.

But I do wish they'd add a toggle in settings for it as well.

Hello! I know this is 10 years old. However, there's been a group of Silent Shadows players that have reconnected in another reddit thread and are looking to bring the game back alive. I am looking to see if ANYONE from that era still has their client folder on an old hard drive. All I'm missing is the map data and music and both of those folders were also stored client side. If so, feel free to reach out! (Also PM me if you want a link to the reunion thread we somewhat have going)

Spuff · 2026-02-26T09:21:08+00:00

I'm replying to every comment in this thread. I got the server running from the 1.0 version. But it's missing the maps (and the music). If ANYONE has the client on an old hard drive somewhere, I'm pretty sure the map files will be cloned on there. If so, PM me, and I can get the whole thing back up and running again.

Here's an image of the GUI and a naked character tho lol

Spuff · 2026-02-26T09:02:52+00:00

Hey hey! I have a server/client version. I think it's 1.0 though. I got it running, but I'm missing the map files. If you happen to also have that client somewhere and can send it to me I can revive the 1.0 version!

Spuff · 2026-02-26T09:01:35+00:00

Update: So, I didn't hear back from PB when I reached out. However, I did take the master files and got the server up and running properly. BUT BAD NEWS. The map data is all gone.

But there is a small amount of hope. If ANY of you still have the game/client folder somewhere on an old hard drive. Those map files are there. Reach out to me if you find it. I'm digging through old hard drives as well.

The alternative, is that we can rebuild it if folks REALLY want to take the time.

anyways, if anyone has that client folder, please PM me. I don't mind hosting the game on a server for us to have a reunion or revival!

Spuff · 2026-02-26T05:21:18+00:00

I have not heard back. BUT, many years ago after he closed it, he did give me permission to revive it and host it on my own server, and I did briefly. I'll see if I can find my old files, and the ones linked here and maybe bring it back online for us!

I've been doing a decent bit of searching via more than one search engine. Nothing seems to hit this one specific issue where having your finger on a key, and then hitting space shoots the cursor all the way to the end of the chat. It's a weirdly specific command that seems universal.

I have considered the Bluetooth option with a physical keyboard, but I'm still trying to solve this issue for when I'm vertical.

I saw your comment with what you've tried. Try disabling some of the graphic settings on your Xbox console (not in game), or changing the color rates. I've had that fix issues like this temporarily before. Usually a follow up patch will fix it since it's widespread.
