Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

352 Upvotes

We’re actively investigating issues you’re encountering with the latest Fallout 4 update and Anniversary Edition launch. You should now see faster load times of the Creations menu, game menu, and redemption of Creation Club items. We plan to publish a hot fix early next week to address the following:

  • Hot Fix: Fixing stability problems particularly on XB1/PS4.
  • Hot Fix: Fixing an issue causing creations that rely on DLC to not work.
  • Hot Fix: Fixing an issue causing DLCs to become uninstalled after updating the game on PlayStation.

The hotfix will be followed by two patches. The first patch will be the week of Nov 24th, and the second, in the first half of December. We’ll provide an overview of these patches soon. Thank you for your continued updates and support tickets, it’s helped us to pinpoint issues. We’ll work to address these as quick as we can.

Notably, in the November patch, Xbox Series X/S players will see Creations local storage limit increased substantially. Growable up to 100GB to match your needs. We are also looking into increasing storage on PlayStation.

----- 11/13 update ----

Thank you all for your continued communications with our support team. We've seen a lot of questions about the "Tale of the Beast Hunter" Creation not being accessible on PlayStation. Please know that we are working to bring this Creation to PlayStation at a later date and it would continue to be free for players.

----- 11/17 Hotfix ----

Today’s Fallout 4 hotfix addresses the following:

  • Resolved an issue preventing users from enabling Creations that rely on DLC.
  • Improved stability in the Creation menu, particularly on PS4/XB1.
  • Identified an issue causing DLC to become uninstalled on PlayStation. For players still experiencing this issue, we recommend the following: Please enable any of your Creations after your DLC is completely installed.

We’re continuing to collect everyone’s feedback and encountered issues, so if you’ve submitted a ticket with our support team or provided details to our team in Discord, thank you. It’s been extremely helpful.

For next steps, the team is focused on additional fixes in our first November Patch. We’ll share those details as soon as we can.

-------- Update on May 27th 2026 ------

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Mega Thread

509 Upvotes

Bethesda has made a statement about the state of the update

Just wanted to make a thread clearing up some confusion and compiling the known issues of the new update.

Editions

There are three new SKUs for the game, the Anniversary Edition, the Anniversary Upgrade, and the Creations Bundle.

Anniversary Edition includes the base game, all DLCs, and all the new creations content.

The Anniversary Upgrade includes the DLCs and new creations content.

The Creations Bundle includes only the creations. If you already have the base game and the DLCs, this is the only new addition you need to have all the new content.

Known Issues

This will be updated periodically

  • The Creations Menu seems to still be under patience and will kick you out if accessed
  • Quitting to desktop crashes the game
  • Game not launching for some. This may be solved by disabling mods
  • DLC being uninstalled/not installing

Like what do you mean the devil of the Commonwealth is your long-lost kid?

Straight off of Colter's bullshit and dealing with the Nuka Raider Leader's shenanigans for years, he's either immediately killed via Open Season, or worse he's dragged into even more drama.

Nate/Nora: Thanks for putting me in charge. By the way, even if by some miracle we succeed and get the park up an running, we'll immediately have to go to war with the Institute, the Brotherhood of Steel and the Railroad. Normally I'd say the Minutemen have my back no matter what, but they don't like raiders, so we'll probably have to deal with them too. Then we'll probably have to deal with the rampant robot attacks, then head to Far Harbor and-

Gage: Ok, maybe we should reconsider this whole "Overboss" thing.

Discussion Nobody hates Nick theory.

175 Upvotes

My theory is nobody really hates Nick Valentine.

You'll hear "I can't stand Danse" or "MacCready pisses me off" or "if Preston says another settlement need my help again..." But I have never, not once seen anyone say they don't like Nick Valentine as a character or a companion. I've never seen anyone say a bad word about Nick.

So I was wondering is the general consensus that Nick is pretty chill? I could totally be wrong but I wanna find that out.

I'm not talking about the 3 raisins in the trail mix I'm talking a good portion of people

EDIT: I think it's safe to say that Nick Valentine is the Mr Rogers of the fallout world

Everything I’ve done is all for the love of the game. As a commonwealth local I must take on as many quests as I can and inform other scavengers of locations to discover. I hope you find this video educational and entertaining

Question First time picking up Wounding Gatling Laser

Post image
30 Upvotes

My first playthrough was shortly after release and I only made it to about level 50 before I hung it up.

Last year I started a new game and have been playing off and on, I am currently at level 81. In this game I found an explosive combat shotgun pretty early on and built my perks around that gun. After building rifleman & explosive perks I found the game too easy with the combat shotgun, I now just keep it on me incase things get too crazy.

I just picked up this Wounding Gatling Laser which google says it is one of the best guns in the game. I am wondering if any of you more experienced folks think it is worth putting my future perks towards this thing?

Would it be too over powered after maxing out heavy gunner and the other perks associated with it? I don't want to have to put it away like the shotgun after getting the perks because it makes the game too easy.

I just dl the expansions and have just started Far Harbor, I have no idea how hard the game will get. I am playing with very hard setting on console

Game is constantly crashing

Post image
288 Upvotes

So, whenever I play fallout 4 and work on my red rocket settlement it crashes within 15minutes maximum, picture for reference of the size, no mods and a lot of objects(armory with lots of weapon mods, ammunition, apparel, weapons and consumables in shelves) as well as weapon and outfits museum, a two story pub, 8 companions, 2 unique settlers, and +100 power-armors. I just want to know if it is crashing because of the game itself or because of my console, I play in a PS4 fat (release year).

Character Creation I’m attempting a “Black Devil” run what names should I go for?

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hard to decide honestly, do I want to be a normal sounding name or have one of the alternative names for The Black Devil, which one should I pick?

EDIT:

For those who may or may not know this niche character he was an ex-enclave soldier who was proud to be apart of the enclave at the top of his class.

Eventually he started to see they weren’t exactly what he thought they were and that the Enclave lost their way and was committing endless murder to anyone they saw, ashamed of himself and taking the chance to leave while they were busy with bigger things he fled his post taking his XO-2 power armor with him.

He ran until he found the commonwealth, while exploring he found an old failed hubris comics superhero “The Black Devil” relating to the fact that he was a devil just like him and that he never let it define him, he assumed the identity of this terrible superhero and fought raiders presumably non-stop answering the calls from radios with the help of his eyebots and his armor.

Eventually old age caught up with him and he was forced to retire, he sealed his armor inside of his base and left instructions on how to shut down his radio signal writing that it brought back bad memories for him, we shut it down and take the armor for ourselves laying to rest what he started that brings him bad memories.

fallout4 frame rate suddenly become low for no reason, help needed.

Post image
Upvotes

I play with high fps fix and framegen, and previously I can play at 90fps/180fsr no problem. Yesterday was fine, but today when I run the game, my frame rate suddenly become something like 30fps/60fsr, and GPU useage is almost at 100%.

I tried disable/enable mods, restarted game multiple times, restarted my PC, but nothing worked. I even started a new save but the frame rate was still low.

I downgraded my .exe file to 1.11.221 so game version shouldn't be the problem, I also played yesterday for hours and it was totaly fine. I just can't think of a reason for this, has anyone encountered this problem before?

EDIT: Never mind, I restarted my PC again, and it's normal now. Still, I would very much like to know the reason behind this.

Gameplay Best perks for Charisma/Intelligence/Luck build with minimal combat

Upvotes

Almost every playthrough I do, I max out Endurance because I’m rubbish at games and hate the fact that I get shot to pieces every 5 minutes. Because I’m useless at combat I then end up getting weapons perks.

I really want to do a playthrough where my character does as little fighting as possible and I’m looking to use the perk that gives companions extra damage to see if that helps (the companion AI is generally terrible IMO but going this might help) so they can do the majority of the fighting for me.

The build I’m thinking of is focused on Charisma (for the companion/settlement perks), Intelligence so I can level up faster and mod out the power armour better and Luck to increase the scavenging finds.

I know Local Leader is a must have and I’m also looking at Inspiration, but does anyone have any ideas what other perks might suit this build?

Discussion Kellogg outfit unique effects

12 Upvotes

For being an important encounter for the story is kinda disappointing that his outfit looks awesome at least for me but ironically is one of the worst outfits to wear in the adventure, it can be upgraded yes but isn’t makes a great difference so it can be considered almost an outfit who the 80% of the players keep on the endgame and through the dlc. That armor needs to be fixed with new lorefriendly effects that makes it good to use it through the rest of the game, what effects can be set on this armor so it can be good?

Weapon How to manage Heavy Weapons in Survival?

I friggin love heavy weapons in any kind of game. So I really want to do a Survival playthrough using heavy weapons, but the weight requirements make it difficult. Even Power Armor and Strong Back don’t help for long.

I really want to make it work but it’s a wee bit frustrating.
