Fallout: London holds a lot of promise. However, at the moment, many players are finding it unplayable either because they cannot get it to run or the game crashes endlessly during gameplay. The developer behind the game-sized mod, Team FOLON is listening and has promised to release a fix for all reported technical issues soon.

“Firstly, a massive thank you from everyone at Team FOLON,” the developer wrote in a message shared on Monday, July 29, 2024. “We are very grateful for the amazing attention Fallout: London is receiving and we appreciate all the great feedback from you! It is truly heartwarming to see the community coming together to praise the release and help one another with it.”
