It's almost immediately clear that most of the heavy fog has been removed Previously, this path leading uphill was coated in long stretches of fog Pockets of fog still remain, but they're no longer regular enough to have a significant impact on performance In other words, Bethesda's taken the very source of the framerate issues and has ripped it out almost entirely.īelow, we've embedded three screenshots that we've taken directly from our PS4. While we can't deny that Bethesda was reasonably timely in fixing the issue, which is appreciated, it has done so by actually removing most of the fog from Far Harbor. The near constant dips in framerate are no longer present, and as a result, exploring the island setting is far more enjoyable. As far as we can tell, Far Harbor now runs no worse than the main game, which isn't perfect, but it's more than manageable.

At first, we thought that the fix would come via a standard game patch, but as it turns out, the developer actually ended up re-releasing the entire expansion.
Last week, Bethesda rightfully announced that it was going to try and fix the framerate on Sony's console. In short, the expansion was, in our opinion, a chore to play because of the frame rate issues – something that we heavily criticised Far Harbor for in our review. The add-on's island location was covered in thick fog, and this effect, combined with detailed lighting techniques, resulted in a shockingly low framerate when traversing most of the island. Fallout 4: Far Harbor, the game's first "real" expansion, ran very poorly on PlayStation 4 when it released. We're happy to report that Fallout 4 fans can rest easy for now – well, kind of.
