    I’ve been really considering giving FO76 a try. I’ve been stockpiling resources from GamePass rewards, and the lore seems pretty cool. I like the idea of playing a fallout game that’s set so soon after the bombs drop.

      Same here, actually installed it the other day having never played fo76…
      it played like shit (<15fps) with barely any hardware usage (GPU doing nothing, 14% CPU utilization) . Found out it needs to be played in full screen mode (on AMD cards at least) to actually utilize GPU, confirmed that was the issue and uninstalled it.

      But the game is apparently good if you can get it to work or look past some dumb shit like this.

        Steam just had a free weekend so I’ve been playing it. I like it a lot and I do think it’s worth playing, but it’s definitely a clunky console port, the added latency of forced multiplayer doesn’t do it any favors, and the amount of QoL locked behind microtransactions or a $13/month subscription just feels bad.
