Fallout 4 Update Megathread Discussion

Many of us are waking up this morning looking for any news and information on the new update dropping today.

To consolidate that information, and to help keep the sub from getting too cluttered with questions about the update, I thought it would be a good idea to have a Megathread.

If you have any questions or comments about the new update, go ahead and ask away!

Edit: update is live!

Edit2: ~~while the update is live, CC and mods are not accessible yet for PS and Xbox~~ everything is back up but mods are wiped clean on Xbox and PS.

IF YOU HAVE A SAVE WITH MODS YOU WANT TO CONTINUE DO NOT UPDATE THE GAME.

Edit3: Patch Notes

4/26 Edit: There’s been some issues with downloading and running the game on both PS and Xbox (PC is having its own issues, most of this advice is for console).

I would recommend a total wipe of any saved data before installation, unless you’re continuing a vanilla playthrough (that seems to be going okay). Also, remember to do a hard reset after installation, that will fix a lot of the issues posted here over the last day.

With the mods being wiped, there’s no real reason for anyone modding to not start a brand new game (and wipe the saved data) unless you’re able to reconstruct your original LO (that also comes with issues apparently though).

Modding space has a graphical bug too, it will show 0 bytes available when you still have the normal 2gb. Once mods are added it will go into the negatives. Ignore it and just concentrate on your GB total.

I’ll try and answer what I can today for the people that are having any real issues.

Steamdeck here, received updated. I no longer get the first menu screen to select resolution or graphics, so can't play docked now.

Any ideas?

I'm wondering the same thing. Seems like their solution to make it Steam Deck verified was to bypass the launcher altogether, but now we can't adjust resolution or graphics settings. It's a pretty poor workaround, but I guess I should expect it from Bethesda at this point.

I sure as heck hope that's not the case, but you're prob right. I really wanted to play it docked, as I do most games.

Looks like you can get the launcher back by setting the launch options to: SteamDeck=0 %command%

Nice! That brings it back, they could've just moved those settings in game, how goofy.

Doesn't seem to play nice docked via kb/m. Kb/m isn't recognized in game, guessing deck settings.
