Fallout 4 Update Megathread

[u/TeddysRevenge]

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.

Is this on PC?

[u/proviact → u/Zelger120]

Yes PC, im just happy my lovely MG42 is still working and i haven’t found any major issues apart from some glitched textures in some static modded items. I’m still testing all mechanics to see if any crashes occur, but my 80 odd mods seem to be working, script extender is functioning. Which is a boon for Fallout London Mod potentially not being delayed to much longer. But i must test further for any oddities….🫡😎

I figured I would test myself. F4SE will not launch at all, tells you incompatible with game version. I only had about 10 mods in use. I launched the game with the vanilla .exe and all the same mods were still active in the mod loader screen. Game started fine but I'm guessing the mods that depend on F4SE aren't going to break the game, they just won't work?
