[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63023, member: 1"] Amid the success of the [URL='https://www.ign.com/tv/fallout-the-series']Fallout TV show[/URL], Fallout video games are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. The player boost is so significant that even NexusMods is struggling to cope. The mod site issued a warning over the weekend that increased interest in Fallout mods had caused heavy network traffic, forcing it to deploy “extra resources” to cope. Explaining the situation, NexusMods namechecked the popularity of the Fallout TV show. "We are experiencing much more traffic than usual due to the popularity of the Fallout TV series," NexusMods said in a statement. "We have deployed extra resources where possible and we are monitoring the uptime and performance across the network. We have staff on call at all times to deal with any problems. "Please do be aware that this extra traffic could cause a degraded experience across the website and our applications." Even now, April 22, the problem continues, with a “degraded performance” [URL='https://nexusmods.statuspage.io/']warning on-site[/URL]. Perhaps it’s no surprise to see NexusMods struggling given the increase in player numbers for everything from the original Fallout to the most recent release, Fallout 76. On Steam, which tracks concurrent player numbers, [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fallout-4']Fallout 4[/URL] has seen a significant increase, resulting in a peak concurrent player count of 164,190 over the weekend.
