As Fallout 4’s massive Fallout: London mod nears its release, distributor GOG has moved to clear up some compatibility questions. The company has confirmed Fallout: London will work with versions of Fallout 4 bought on GOG and Steam, but not those purchased on the Epic Games Store, as the latter doesn’t currently support a key feature needed to get it running.
If you’re not up to date on its progress, Fallout: London – which, as its name suggests, enables players to quest around a post-apocalyptic open-world version of the UK’s capital – has hit a few snags on the road to its release. Specifically, developer Team Folon has run into issues getting it to work with Fallout 4’s recently released next-gen update.
Team Folon made the decision to delay Fallout: London back in April, anticipating the mod might run into “complications” when Bethesda’s next-gen update arrived – and the decision proved wise. Last week, after some testing, the developer confirmed Fallout 4’s next-gen update simply “isn’t stable enough” to run Fallout: London right now, and that the mod would be shipping with a downgrader to revert Fallout 4 to an older version.
We already knew Fallout: London’s downgrader would work with the GOG version of Fallout 4, given GOG is distributing the mod (its massive size meant it was too large to host on Nexus Mods), but questions remained about versions of the game purchased on other PC stores – which GOG has now addressed.
