The Fallout TV screen has attracted gaming enthusiasts in numbers we haven’t noticed in years, and no one feels the effects more than the Nexus Mods. It’s experiencing big spikes in traffic that admins attribute directly to Amazon Prime’s good luck. series, and a new update provides a new take on the challenge they face.
“We are aware that in the last 7 to 9 days, the functionality of our online page has seriously degraded, with record download speeds, specifically slow,” Demorphic, head of netpainting management, said in a press article. “We know, it’s been incredibly frustrating for you and for us as well. We have spent two weekends fighting to keep the site running as smoothly as possible and will continue to work 24 hours a day to check and make sure you enjoy working as well as possible. possible. “
This period, of course, coincides with the launch of the Amazon Prime series on April 10. The article highlights some graphs showing the total number of mod downloads over the last month, with large spikes starting to form around April 12, and it seems as if the excitement is still growing. Fallout Four has gone from less than 1. 5 million mod downloads to roughly 7. 5 million.
“As you can see, Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas experienced large spikes on the site, contributing to peaks of 24 million record total downloads per day, compared to a norm of 10 million downloads,” Demorphic writes. “Between Friday and Sunday, we delivered more than 6. 3 PB (6300 TB) of modifications to our users. This represents a steady average of 19 four Gbps per moment. This is equivalent to downloading the entire Skyrim SE game twice a moment for several days. “
Unfortunately, it turns out that Nexus Mods faces the same challenge as big online games when servers are outclassed: paying for more servers to cover such a big spike simply wouldn’t make sense in the long run. “We typically have enough capacity to meet our bandwidth needs at any given time and invest in our offload infrastructure as demand continues to grow,” says Demorphic. “What we can’t do is offer an infinite and fully scalable solution to meet very large, short-term needs. spikes in site traffic, due to a prohibitive charge that would be completely unsustainable for us as a company.
But in the end, the conclusion of this article is positive: “It’s an exciting time to see so many people looking for mods for the first time or returning to the site after such a long time. “It will be a long time before Fallout Five arrives, but Fallout’s modding scene helps keep old games fresh for dozens of series enthusiasts, new and old.
Nearly a decade later, Fallout Four gets its next-gen update with 60 FPS and a slew of new content just in time for the TV show.
