Fallout: London, the hotly anticipated game-changing mod for Fallout 4 is now finally available via GOG, because it’s simply too big for modding sites. If you own Fallout 4 on GOG, you’re good to go since GOG haven’t updated to the “next-gen” version. If you have it on Steam, you’ll need to downgrade to version 1.10.163.0.
More about it: “Fallout: London is an ambitious, trail-blazing DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4, Bethesda Game Studios’ 2015 post-apocalyptic RPG. Fallout: London stands apart from its contemporaries and offers an entirely new experience: setting a Fallout game outside of the United States. True to its moniker, Fallout: London takes place IN London. From stuffy parliamentary aristocrats to a resurrection of the Knights of the Round Table to an uncompromising cult of revolutionaries (and more!), Fallout: London embodies the history and aesthetics of London and puts an unmistakably nuclear spin on the beloved city.”
Currently for Linux players, it seems a bit messy. I’ve been unable to use the Steam Downgrader for Linux from Nexus, because the zip file just seems broken (I’ve let them know. Update: They fixed it). For GOG owners though, you should hopefully be able to download both Fallout 4 and London via the Heroic Games Launcher.
Update: GOG kindly sent me a Fallout 4 key, so I’m testing via the Heroic Launcher. Downloading Fallout London and Fallout 4, setting them each to use GE-Proton 9-10 and then running Fallout London brings up the installer correctly. You’ll need to manually pick the Fallout 4 location, as it won’t find it automatically.
Strangely, the Wine file-picker couldn’t display my /home folder, so I also had to use the Winecfg button in Heroic’s settings on Fallout London, to then manually add my /home folder where Fallout 4 is installed. Then it was able to find it properly.
Then it will come up with their launcher once installed. And you just click Play on Fallout London from inside Heroic each time.
Thankfully, it appears to work using the GOG version downloaded via Heroic. However, I’m not hearing any of the dialogue being spoken, which I’ve seen from videos elsewhere that there is voice-acting. Tested with both GE-Proton and Proton Experimental, and on both the audio just doesn’t seem right. So we may need some Proton / Wine fixes for Fallout London to work properly.
Let me know how you get on in the comments.
