Fallout 4: RTX Meltdown! One Setting Makes Your Powerful GPU Cry

The Fallout 4 next-gen update is out now, but not everyone is happy about it, especially on PC. While the update makes some improvements to the game, it also causes problems. Many mods are broken, and support for ultrawide displays isn’t great.

Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come in 2024.

But the biggest issue is that the game won’t work on Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards if a certain setting is turned on, even though Bethesda has known about this problem for years.

Most modern graphics cards can handle Fallout 4 well, but if you want the best graphics, Nvidia cards are recommended. However, it’s ironic that the exclusive features of Nvidia cards are what cause the game to break on RTX cards.

The problem stems from a setting called ‘Weapon Debris’, which enhances how weapons affect the environment. It only works on GeForce cards, but newer RTX cards can’t handle it, leading to crashes.

I experienced this issue myself while playing Fallout 4 on a GeForce RTX 4090. After the update, I turned on ‘Weapon Debris’ to the highest setting, but it caused frequent crashes.

It’s puzzling that Bethesda hasn’t fixed this bug, considering how long it’s been known. There are mods to fix it, but they might not work with the latest update.

But the problems don’t end there. Players with ultrawide monitors have a stretched user interface, and the game doesn’t run well above 60fps. Even the Fallout 4 Steam Deck version has issues.

This isn’t just a problem with Fallout 4; even older games like Fallout 3 have issues. It’s understandable for older games, but it’s still disappointing.

PC players deserve better, and hopefully, Bethesda will release more patches to fix these problems. But that might cause more issues for mods like Fallout: London.

For now, if you have an Nvidia RTX card, it’s best to keep ‘Weapon Debris’ off. But you can improve image quality with a Fallout 4 DLSS mod if it still works after the update.
