I've had constant crashes during the explorations with the beta patch, so I've stopped participating in beta. Feeling like it's more safe to wait till they fix everything.

I stopped using beta since the first beta patch, it's like they put more bugs, and the mods stopped working, so I prefer to wait for a full patch.

Good to hear that D. I dont notice that but honestly i havent even play that much. The most thing that boders me is that they remove the mod funktion in the first patch. Thats a disaster! I dont know but i am getting more and more disapointed with bethesdea. Perhaps they should get their hands of and let the modders work it out. Its sad to pay so much money for a game and the updates are buggier then before.

That's the main reason why I haven't tried it yet. Of course, it's still a Beta and all but it seems to give more trouble than what it's worth. As Cruz said, perhaps they should let the modders fix it.

I've used mods well with the Beta patch. I've been doing it manually, in the patches.ini file
just copy/pasted the title of the .esp there, one under the other.
and I swear it ran smoother with the beta than without it
I'll have to tough it out somehow
we'll see
cheers

patches.ini??? i only have a plugin.ini where i put the mod names manualy. have to set it eveytime to read only and then after i save it, otherwise when you start the game it will delete everything. what a crap.

Hrm I am still using the Beta and no problems.. I have a 48 hour respawn mod for all monsters so I haven't really noticed that yet.

But the Beta made my game a lot more stable in all aspects, that with the New NVIDIA driver update I just got the lag disappears entirely except in places where I constructed about 20+ fires that are each creating moving shadows because they are fires..... and then its only about 5 fps...

but I never used a mod manager and always entered everything manually and checked some things in FO4edit.

I am running the current BETA patch with, at this time, 47 mods; 39 of them active. NPCs in various areas my character has visited do respawn after roughly three days; with exceptions.

The only major bug I have encountered is within Home Base in Diamond City. After scrapping the junk from Home Base I am unable to place objects (beds, storage, etc) on the concrete floor. Placing objects on the wood covering the mud works properly.

Pretty sure they(Beth) said the update is supposed to resolve the length of load times. I haven't updated to Beta yet, though.

Yep, tried 1.3 Load times are zippy now. I guess I can now un-Sym-link my SSD for FO4.

Something I do when I'm troubleshooting is after I remove mods that I'm working on, I'll uninstall the game from steam. Everything else stays in place and on my computer it goes very fast. Then once the game has installed again, I add the mods that I've been troubleshooting and I have no problem at all. It seems like when removing a mod (or possibly beta) that by uninstalling the game it resets everything to re-add the mods in question or new ones in their place. This isn't something I recommend for slower computers though if it takes a long time to install the game.

No problems here. When I playing however I am not using the new particles effects, as they can make the game stutter sometimes (what a suprise nvidia lol). Other than that its just been improved performance for me.

It works fine for me, no problems whatsoever. I really like how loading times are now cut in half and the overall performance improvement, not by a lot, but still, it's good.
