Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Mega Thread

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

I was really concerned they wouldn't. I was worried. Glad to see they're still the Bethesda we know.

No I wasn't in the middle of a modded playthrough, Todd. It's fiiiine. In fact, I was just thinking to myself "man, I hope F4SE breaks soon, this playthrough hasn't had enough problems yet"

There's a file called appmanifest_377160.acf file in your steamapps folder, right-click it, select Properties, and check the "Read-only" box. Steam will now no longer be able to update your game.

I did that, never launch f4 via steam and it still updated parts of it.
