I cannot post this in the tracker because apparently my account has been rendered obsolete so I need to post it here instead. I encountered a bug. An incredibly annoying unfixable bug which every forum I read says UFO4P is the direct and exact cause. the problem is in nuka world and in particular nuka town. God help me I would so desperately like to speak to anybody but the raiders but that’s all I’m left with. The raiders are the only people I am able to speak to as if I attempt to speak to literally anybody else my character will say something like “hi” or “mhm” and they will give me nothing but blank stares, they won’t even give me the casual npc lines when they’re not quest givers or vendors. They just look at me blankly and do nothing. Believe me if effort could fix this I’d be playing the nuka world dlc right now but unfortunately every single forum I’ve been to says the only fix is to uninstall UFO4P and start a new save as whatever is causing it gets baked deep into your save file. I’ve tried quite literally everything to avoid this, rebuilding my database, exiting nuka world, uninstalling UFO4P. LITERALLY NOTHING WORKS. it is extremely infuriating and has quite literally barred me from the entire dlc. Every forum I’ve been to says the only link is the UFO4P. But don’t worry there’s always the swarm of people willing to tell you that EVERYTHING WORKS COMPLETELY FINE FOR THEM :))). this is a plead for my 100hr save file, please please fix this ASAP. If you need more details I am more than happy to provide but this really breaks my heart as I used to love UFO4P but now it all seems like a waste because I clicked install on this one stupid mod.

Hi. I have been experiencing a bug in fallout 4: In the blind betrayal mission, Danse becomes enemies with the brotherhood of steel if you keep him alive, i kept him alive and decided to join the Railroad, meaning I destroyed the Prydwyn and ended the game with that faction. I went back to Listening Post Bravo and wanted him to be my companion, however, when i interacted with him, there was no response! My character would spout: "Excuse me, paladin danse?" and Danse wouldnt reply, I couldnt access the trade menu or engage in a conversation. It would be amazing if you fixed this, as Danse is my favourite companion and it is a damn shame that Bethesda blocked me from engaging with a former companion who is enemies with the Brotherhood because I am enemies with the Brotherhood!! There is no logic! It would really enhance my and others' experience with the game. Thanks

So it appears we've been hit with an impenetrable roadblock in the workshop system. Bethesda, for reasons unknown, has made some rather... bad changes to how things work. If you don't want to read through the details, the summary of the situation is this: Settlers recruited via the radio beacon (basically all of them really) or settlers placed via console commands (shame on you people!) will begin to exhibit gear, appearance, gender, and even race changes after a certain amount of time. My own testing shows this is tied to how long the respawn timer is for the game. Cut it to one hour, you can get the problem almost immediately. Raise it, and you can probably delay it, but it will cost severely in performance elsewhere. In the end, it's an engine issue we cannot solve. Eventually, just standing around in the cell WHILE THE SETTLERS ARE WITH YOU will result in them changing if you turn your back on them, even for just a few seconds. Thread on Bethesda.net: https://community.bethesda.net/thread/53871 Let them know this needs to get fixed! Anyway, here's the details, as explained by Sclerocephalus: IMO, this may sound a death bell for the project. Settlement issues are a large portion of what's wrong with the game and it has taken him/us 4 iterations of work to get to the point we're at now, and now it's all for nothing. Considering Bethesda themselves screwed this up for reasons unknown, I don't know if we can trust them not to completely screw something ELSE up later on that gets in the way of fixing a broken quest, bad flags on NPCs, or even stuff as simple as fixing typos. We are already operating under restricted conditions with being unable to do any sort of mesh fixes and being severely limited in the ability to do placed reference corrections. Adding all of this makes it even less useful as a project now. Only Bethesda can ultimately fix this, so IMO, people should start directing bug reports to them. Make them realize that as long as they're screwing up fundamental systems for resource management reasons, we can't do anything. There was absolutely no reason to have done this either since NPCs placed via script calls don't need to be persistent outside of their settlements and they had no reason to believe that performance would improve by cycling them repeatedly while you're in the settlement. In fact, logic dictates it does exactly the opposite. A few additional comments from Sclerocephalus:

(Note that all fixes are retroactive unless otherwise noted) Frequently Asked Questions - BUGS Frequently Asked Questions - About the Project Mods Made Obsolete by the UFO4P UFO4P Fixes The glow map texture for the glowing mutant hounds got corrupted again somehow. It has been fixed yet again. Hopefully for good this time. (textures\actors\FEVHound\FEVHound_g.dds) The Graygarden workshop borders that were initially fixed in 23169 have been reverted and replaced with a direct mesh edit to properly indicate the borders instead. (meshes\Workshop\WorkshopBorderGrayGarden01.nif) (Bug #32583) The edit for debris material needs to be removed because the affected file is in use by more than just the previously known references. Reverts Bug #32322 and deletes the material file in Materials\Landscape\Ground\DebrisGroundTile.BGSM (Bug #32691) Several cells on Far Harbor end up with missing textures on XB1 due to a mismatch in the data sets for Previsbines in them. It doesn't matter what type of edits they were since the issue lies in the CELL record headers themselves. [AcadiaObservatoryExt02, FringeCoveDocksExt02, HarborGrandHotelExt03, NationalParkCampgroundExt, SouthWestHarborExt, DLC03POIDL02, DLC03POI14, DLC03POI55, DLC03POI02] (Bug #31597) Actor Fixes Amelia Stockton incorrectly had a synth component in her inventory that is instead supposed to be an on-death item. (Bug 32704) Female "Child of Atom" corpses only identified as a generic corpse rather than one specific to them. This was due to mistakenly inheriting the base data from generic corpses. [Loot_CorpseChildrenOfAtomFemale] (Bug #32791) Bullet's Minions remain gathered outside of Billy's house after the end of his quest because their package conditions would only make them follow Bullet as long as it was running. Since these minions only exist to support Bullet anyway, all conditions from the package have been removed. So where Bullet goes, his goons will follow. [MS01BulletMinionFollow] (Bug #19998) Item Fixes Seasoned Rabbit Skewers were missing a piece of wood in its recipe. All other skewered food requires one. [DLC03_co_food_SteakRabbit] (Bug #32739) Vendor counters at Bunker Hill could be destroyed during the battle because the furniture objects had destruction data attached. Once destroyed, the vendors can no longer do their jobs and can't be reassigned either. Unfortunately the objects will not regenerate if they're already destroyed. [WorkshopStoreMisc03NoEditDinerCounter] (Bug #32727) [NR] The Relentless modification had a NULL enchantment in its list. [mod_Legendary_Weapon_OnCritRefillAP] (Bug #32708) Empty Lukowski's Potted Meat Trays should have been set up as Aluminum rather than steel. (Bug #32684) The Workshop hamper was incorrectly set up to require wood scrap instead of the normal wood component. [DLC06Workshop_co_CleanFurn_Hamper_Empty] (Bug #32680) LLM_HuntingRifle and LL_MiscMod_HuntingRifle had entries in their lists which should have been set to level 11 but were mistakenly set for level 111. (Bug #32672) Nuka-Cide [DLC04_NukaCola_NukaCide] should provide a larger magnitude when the player has the Wasteland Survival 3 perk. The value checks on this were reversed. The boosted magnitude was also incorrectly set to 10 when it should be 11.25. (Bug #32671) The Calibrated Powerful Receiver mod incorrectly references the scope attachment point instead of the gun casing attachment point. [mod_DoubleBarrelShotgun_Receiver_MoreDamage2_and_BetterCriticals] (Bug #32778) Quest and Dialogue Fixes Rite of Passage (DLC03FarHarborM01) does not recognize meats added by Nuka-World. All of the DLC04 meats have been added to formlist DLC03FarHarborM01MeatList so that they will be usable in the quest. (Bug #32763) Strong's affinity dialogue checks were all incorrectly keyed to the player and would always respond neutral. Further, all of the random lead-in dialogue was set to check Admiration rather than Infatuation, resulting in only 4 sets of choices instead of 5 like it should be. And to top all of that off, none of his responses were properly randomized so only the first response in each set was ever used. [COMStrongTalk] (Bug #32699) Cedric Hopton should be set as protected after losing his essential status in Building a Better Crop (InstM01) so that he doesn't randomly die and improperly get the player blamed for his murder. (Bug #32690) During Hunter/Hunted (MQ205) the radio signal that lead you to the Courser should have been shut down. A property was missing on Z2-47's quest alias to call the stage that handled this. (Bug #32569) Pest Control, Hypothesis, Appropriation, Reclamation, and Political Leanings [InstR01, InstR02, InstR03NEW, InstR04, InstR05] could all be erroneously restarted after the player is kicked out of the Institute (or later destroys it) because the Story Management node was only checking to see if Synth Retention [Inst301] had been completed rather than also checking to see if the kickout conditions had been set. (Bug #32570) In Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution [MS11], telling the scavengers you'll help them prompts Cait to say she liked the decision, yet she throws a negative affinity bump. This is caused by CompanionAffinityEventQuestScript calling the wrong affinity function for her response event. (Bug #32389) [NR] In the same quest, Strong incorrectly gives a neutral bump instead of a negative bump when telling the scavengers you're siding with Ironsides. (Bug #32389) [NR] The scientist who scans you for radiation at Vault 81 could never play his lines because they were all checking if he had the radiation amounts instead of the player. One response line was also incorrectly configured to only play for male characters even though it's a neutral line. (Bug #32803) During Road To Freedom [RR101], Deacon has some dialogue to vouch for the player when certain quests are done. If the player rescues Nick Valentine from Skinny Malone, Deacon's lines for this can't play because they're checking the wrong quest stage. (Bug #32802) Getting the final reward from Kent Connolly in The Silver Shroud [MS04] when you're at level 45 or higher makes you wait for an arbitrarily long time (until level 100). This is due to the fact that the armor is given to you based on Kent's level instead of your own. He's level 6, so the armor is the lowest one on the table. Given the scripting involved it's fairly clear this was supposed to give you the armor based on your own level, and if you were already at or above 45, to set it up so that no upgrades would be offered since none are available beyond that. Note that if you've already completed this quest you'll just have to play on to level 100 to get the appropriate copy since there's no way to determine what level you were when the quest was completed. (Bug #32783) [NR] At the end of Taken For A Ride [DLC04MQ01] the player is supposed to gain "ownership" of the Fizztop Grille, but this is never done. The end result being that the bed will not confer the benefits of the Well Rested or Lover's Embrace perks when slept in. (Bug #28846) During The Battle of Bunker Hill [Inst302], if the player kills 2 or frees 1 synth, the objective to deal with escaped synths is deactivated. However, further along in the quest when the player needs to report back to the Institute, the quest reinstates the objective when it shouldn't. Not only should it ignore this condition, it would also result in a duplicated objective in the quest list. (Bug #25914) After Open Season [DLC04RaiderKickout] there may be several dead raiders who remain behind indefinitely. This appears to be because several Actor Dialogue event quests could be running at the same time you're running around killing them all. These quests will all be shut down now once you've completed Open Season and should result in the raider corpses despawning after the expected amount of time. (Bug #22242) Similarly, after destroying the Railroad by killing all of its NPCs, none of the corpses ever get cleaned up because numerous quests are still running which are holding them in aliases. These will all be shut down upon reloading the game a second time after installing the patch. This should allow for time to go loot the bodies before the cleanup is triggered. (Bug #20003) Radio Freedom should no longer exhibit janky behavior like going silent after moving around, and should now work properly when placed Minutemen Radio objects are turned on. This was due to an odd set of conditions on the radio loop scene that would interrupt things if the player was not tuned in on the pip-boy or listening live at The Castle. (Bug #20522) In Pull the Plug [DN138] the second objective to return to Sulley is never completed and remains open in your pip-boy forever. (Bug #25186) Placement/Layout/Ownership and Other World Fixes 00204345: Duplicate decal deleted. (Bug #23765) 0006662E: Door that should not have been interactible as it leads to nowhere. (Bug #32572) 001B8987: Duplicate water bottle separated and placed next to the original. (Bug #32761) 000F933E: Reference to Dn047Worker02 is positioned in the editor in such a way that they can sometimes get pushed off the navmesh next to the chair they're linked to. This sometimes results in them being pushed through the ceiling or floor by the game attempting to move them to a valid position. (Bug #32759) 03044492: Footlocker clipping into a mattress. (Bug #32748) 00124772: Fire barrel clipping through an overpass. (Bug #32746) 0016C9C1: Stool stuck in a debris pile that should not be interactible. (Bug #32745) 000FFA66, 000FFA67, 000FFA69: Frag mines buried too far underground to be interacted with. (Bug #32744) 00164F95, 0016535F: Items clipping through a display counter. (Bug #32743) 000BC14D: Nuka-Cola machine rotated to prevent the door from clipping into the fridge next to it. (Bug #32741) 03056EEA: Dog Collar moved to the ground. It could not be looted from its original position due to being trapped behind a bad collision mesh. (Bug #32740) 001AEEF8: Unlootable tool box moved outside of the collision cube it was placed under. (Bug #32737) 0303DEED: Bench clipping into a wall. (Bug #32735) 0023AEFA: Duplicate toolbox separated and placed near the original. (Bug #32721) 001B19AF: Duplicate hazard trap deleted. (Bug #32720) 0022F115: Jukebox incorrectly set to use a workshop version when it's not in a settlement. (Bug #32705) 001BBBF0: Clutter piece missing its other half, leaving an exposed underside. (Bug #32777) 001FB9FC: Duplicate desk deleted. (Bug #32775) 0700002B: Grass patch added to cover up a huge gap under a wall. (Bug #32774) 000DCC2D: Duplicate elevator meter deleted. (Bug #32773) 000BF2A1: Duplicate traffic cone separated and placed near the original. (Bug #32772) 0300C965: Buoy set up with the wrong type of bell. (Bug #32677) 000c38bf: Incorrect roof hatch type used on the roof entrance to Fort Hagen. (Bug #32676) 00181BBE: Bottle stuck inside a fusion generator. (Bug #32649) 00248403: Unlootable pre-war cooler. (Bug #32636) 000EF623, 000EF613, 000EF61B: Desks facing backward into walls. Rotated 180 degrees to correct. (Bug #32598) 03036B98: Cooler clipping a wall. (Bug #32780) 073CB226: Wooden frame placed to cover a huge hole in the ceiling which allowed seeing through the underside of a building. (Bug #32776) 0018C597: Tinker Tom's microscope improperly has Havok enabled collision on it. Replaced with a standard NPC use microscope. (Bug #32637) 00197896: Dog spawner clipping through the ground. (Bug #32805) 000618a0: Reinstated ownership on this door. Reverts Bug #29157. (Bug #32804) 0002A3B3: Desk turned 180 degrees in the wrong direction. (Bug #32801) 00195F51, 00195F52, 00195F53, 001ABA7D: Unowned idle markers that should have been marked as BoSGenericNPCFaction. Companions could get stuck by them. (Bug #32797) 06027A8B, 06027A8C, 06027A8D, 06027A8E, 06027A8F, 06027A90, 06027A91, 06027A93: Items in the "Vault-Tec: Among the Stars" room that were erroneously set as owned by Penske's faction from Vault 81. All on a single table, so likely the result of a copypasta error. (Bug #32787) 00177AD8: Fire barrel clipping through the ground. (Bug #32601) 001B8CEC, 001B8CF0, 001B8CF4, 001B8CF5, 001B8CF6, 001BBF74: Raiders at Hangman's Alley that would respawn because they weren't tagged in the Encounter Zone. (Bug #27726) 07417FCB: Added a collision box to make it possible to climb up the stairs at Custom House Tower. (Bug #19895) The complete changelog for PC and XBox One is available here.

Ok, so for those of you who were wondering, yes, we're planning to go ahead with doing an Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch. It may be a bit early for this, all depends on how aggressively Bethesda begins patching the game, but we figure it's best to get off the ground sooner rather than later so that we know more or less what to expect once the official tools are released. We will not begin any kind of proper work on the first release of the UFO4P until after the official CK/GECK is available. In addition, we probably won't be taking on any mesh or texture fixes until community tools have progressed far enough to handle these properly. Many of them are already making good progress, but they need to be in solid working order before anyone with 3D and/or texturing skills can really do effective fix work. There is little point in trying to fix much of anything until then. For now, just play, and enjoy the game like we are. There's no rush. Post any bug reports you have in our collection thread. This was basically to let folks know that we're on board for this. If you run into a quest bug, script bug, etc, please also report those here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1544248-bug-report-index-pc/- Bethesda can't attempt to fix what we don't report, and it's best for everyone if they do. The less we need to deal with when the time comes, the better.
