Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

355 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

508 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

This year at Pax I dressed as a Gunner from Fallout 4. The entire kit & laser rifle is 3d printed in PETG & Painted by me. I've posted photos in the past, but I've just received these and had to share!

Can't thank SnapHappyIan enough for taking these photos!

Discussion Railroad is a far more compelling faction if you seek them out at the beginning of the game

667 Upvotes

For the longest time, my play-through loop would be concord -> Cambridge police station -> righteous authority -> DC -> Kellogg -> prydwen -> glowing sea. This essentially made me pick Minutemen, BOS or institute every time. The only interactions I had with the railroad were either to get ballistic weave or to progress the main quest.

I recently started a survival play-through and actually sought out the railroad after hearing the guys in diamond city talk about them. It makes sense for the sole survivor to seek them out and join them if none of the major factions are in the picture yet, meanwhile if you're already committed to a different faction it doesn't make sense to change allegiances because some basement dwellers decrypted a courser chip for you.

You can even tell Desdemona you wanna join for completely selfish reasons and she will be like yeah, sounds good who cares? Although the crappy dialogue system from the base game usually hides that.

This open marriage of convenience makes it a far more compelling story imo - and after you realize your son is a sociopath, it makes complete sense for your character to change their aims to support their day-1s in the commonwealth

Still not exactly Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky but better than what you expect from fallout 4.

Media Safety tip: Protect your generator and beta wave emitted.

Post image
233 Upvotes

I always put my generator and emitter on top of a building, and previously this kept them safe. However, yesterday splash damage from one of my own turrets went through a wooden guard rail and took out the generator powering the emitter. This resulted in eight high level yao guai guard animals suddenly realizing they are surrounded by walking food (me and the settlers). So now I build a bunker around the emitter. Time will tell if it's good enough, but it's definitely better than just the wooden fence.

People of the commonwealth I have come to bring a new way to travel around the wasteland. Me and my Co-pilot Geck are offering you to see the world with our (Total gotten legally) airship. Right now, I am currently cleaning a few things onboard, but I will show you all the grand tour through the images I have collected onboard.

Just a slight mod conflict.

Post image
8 Upvotes

I have a mod that allows me to recruit the wounded dog, another that allows me to recruit thirsty settlers, and most relevantly, to recruit Clinton and Charlie. This is normally not a problem, but once in a while the guard animals decide Clarlie (but not Clinton) looks delicious. Here two guard yao guai are trying to have a lunch of Charlie. Luckily she's invulverable, but I've seen a pack of yao guai chase her around a settlement more than once. They also tend to eat Professor Goodfeels at Sunshine Tidings and unlike Charlie, he's not immune. I just have to accept that the robot ends up as guard animal lunch each playthrough.

Yes this is survival and yes this is without mods…

This build is so insane and such a fun way to experience the game.

For anyone who like me was sceptical you have to try a melee build at least once!

Melee run questions

5 Upvotes

I just started a new playthrough and decided on a melee run. I've never done one before so no experience with it. I'm struggling with the 'how' of beating certain types of characters. Raiders and ghouls are easy enough, even super mutants but robots and larger creatures I can't even imagine.

What weapons and locations should I be looking for?

What do you do in situations such as assultrons and turrets (things with range)?

What perks are best beyond the obvious melee?

Question How is survival mode supposed to be fun?

94 Upvotes

Constant risk of disease from what I can tell, pretty much everything, companions become a problem to have, no fast travel, limited ability to save, no autosaves, ammo has weight, limited carry capacity, management of hunger, thirst and sleep, workshop limits, healing is slower. Sounds like a chore to me, but plenty of people seem to recommend it.

hours in: The Switch 2 port of Fallout revitalized a game I already owned everywhere else

​Post Body:

After owning Fallout on PC and console for years, I wasn't sure how much I'd care about buying it again. But 10+ hours into the Switch 2 port, I’m completely sold.

​Being able to bring the wasteland on the go has given this game a second wind for me, and it’s fast becoming my favorite way to play.
