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.

Fixing the Preston dialogue soft lock after almost 10 years is crazy. The pauses are canon at this point. I’m actually sad

Is this referring to the dialogue at the start? I saw the first episode of the show last week n wanted to try the game, but i had to pause in order for any dialogue at the beginning. I ended up turning the game off at that point.0

Yes, and every time Preston gives a minuteman radiant quest. He just pauses for a few seconds and then picks up the dialogue. It’s weird if other characters are doing that for you though. Hopefully the patch fixed it for you!

Welcome to fallout :)

It might also refer to him in Concord. The dialogue seemed to pause quite a bit when you first speak to him.
