To say that the development of Fallout: London was tricky would be an understatement: Team Folon, the developers of this massive mod that brings Fallout's retro-apocalyptic world to the UK, were working on Fallout: Fallout 4 by Bethesda. They worked on Fallout: London for four years until a next-gen update forced them to delay its release.

In an interview with the BBC, Fallout: London project leader Dean Carter expressed frustration with Bethesda's decision not to warn the team about the update, which would have inevitably broken multiple mods. The project leader expressed frustration with Bethesda's decision not to warn the team about an update that would inevitably break multiple mods. Fallout is a fan mod, not part of Fallout: Fallout: London is a fan mod, not part of Bethesda's verified creator program, and there is no precedent for a large company to warn community mods about its internal plans for the future," Carter said. There is no precedent for a large corporation to warn a community mod about its internal plans for the future.

After nearly three months of working to resolve the issues with the new update, we finally heard the good news: Team Folon confirmed that Fallout: Team Folon is on the verge of releasing Fallout: London. Team Folon has confirmed that the release of Fallout: London is imminent: "GOG will release Fallout: London once the process of double-checking that Fallout: London and its installer work with all GOGs is complete. Fallout: Once they complete the process of double-checking that Fallout: London and its installer work on all supported machines, we'll be good to go," Team Folon said on Twitter.

But as modders worked through the issues with Bethesda's next-gen update, they found that fixing Fallout: London was not as easy as they first thought. Despite Bethesda releasing a patch for the update, most of the biggest problems are still intact, VATS is still broken, and so is Ultrawide. With that in mind, Team Folon is asking players to downgrade their games.

Replying to several fans on Team Folon's Discord, Carter assured players that "GOG has been great through all of this. The NetGen update has broken a lot of things, and GOG's commitment to help and support has been exemplary."

He stated.

The choice to use a downgrade is not shocking, as many players have come to this conclusion on their own. Some fans questioned why Team Folon could not automatically downgrade mods with custom installers, while others noted that Team Folon may simply not want to maintain multiple versions of a project.

Frankly, most fans will be glad to finally get their hands on "Fallout": they've waited over four years to explore this DLC-sized mod, and back in 2021, we called it the best announcement at E3, so expectations have been had been heightened.
