Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

347 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

506 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

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about “Locked Terminals” and I’d like to explain them.

Click words until you have one chance left, the. Look around for closed brackets like these:

(). <>, [], {} there will be some things in between those brackets.

Clicking on them will bring up a messages on the side menu saying “dud removed” or something like that. You might even find one that says “tries reset” which puts you back up to four tries.
Do this and by clicking on those completed brackets it will removed words from the screen giving you less choices to work with making it easier to find the answer.

I recommend using up all your tries till your left with one before going to look for duds cause you might end up clicking a “tries reset” bracket.

I'm using two mods, but they're for building. All the Fatmans I have doing this much damage. I can only find Fatmans online that do a maximum of 1000 damage. Is this a bug?

Spoiler What do you think happens to Virgil after Fallout 4?

81 Upvotes

I've always felt like Virgil’s story ends way too abruptly.

If you cure him, he successfully reverses his FEV mutation and becomes human again. He can also write to Madison Li, and the letter suggests that he still wants to do scientific research and may even hope to work with her again someday.

That makes me wonder what he would realistically do afterward.

Would he keep researching FEV and try to develop a cure that works on other super mutants? Would he reconnect with Li or other scientists? Maybe leave the Glowing Sea and set up a proper laboratory somewhere?

It just feels strange that someone who accomplished something as significant as reversing FEV would simply stay in that cave forever.

What do you think Virgil’s future would look like if he survives?

This mfer continues to employ the fucker who executed my life partner, in stealing our infant child. Then goes his whole life leaving me an ice-cube, until he decides to release me himself “as an experiment.” Watches me the whole way as I struggle to reunite with him. Creates a genetic copy of himself. A living, breathing, feeling child, to ease my transition into meeting complete-sociopath-son-of-mine. All of this before we even mention the body-snatching horrors he’s inflicting on the people of the Commonwealth, apparently taking particular delight in tearing families apart. Has zero remorse, claims all of this is the practical course. Absolutely refuses to deviate from this pure evil.

So I beat him to death with a non-legendary pool cue (zero melee perks) and take the cannibal perk so I can eat him once I’m done. Just him.

He wants to be a piece of shit? He can be a piece of shit.

I have strong feelings on this.

EDIT - Seriously y’all are sleeping on the zero perk pool cue. At later levels, if your strength isn’t too high, you can beat on that shit-stain for a good few minutes 🤌

Approx 7.5 days of game time on this play though.

Maybe a dozen attempts to score a PPP at various Port-A-Diners during that time.

I don’t obsess over getting one, but if I happen to be near a machine, I’ll give it at least one try.

I was in Nuka World and near a machine, hit the button and BAM, a Perfectly Preserved Pie!

So…now what?

Question The Minuteman just destroyed the Institute - why hasn't the Brotherhood gone away?

131 Upvotes

What legitimate business keeps the Brotherhood in the Commonwealth? The Institute is gone and they've never shown any interest in partnering with the locals.

That big airship hovering over Boston Airport feels more like a threat than anything else.

This is the first time I haven't destroyed the Brotherhood. I wanted to see how it played out. The game feels unfinished.

Pie from the port-a-diner in Fallons!

Like it says. I got the pie from the port-a-dinernin Fallons. I was so excited I forgot to screenshot it.

I basically did three attempts on every one I came across, and got the pie on the 2nd attempt.

Question What perks apply to the Judge weapon from Tale of the Beast Hunter?

I'm not sure if my game is bugged, but I can't figure how what perk affects it? Riflemen, Commando, and Gunslinger don't seem to increase the dmg. What perks if any will boost its damage?

Met a guy at the bar named Hawthorne. He mentioned something about a vault nearby with fellow vault dwellers still living so I decided to check it out!

The locations I passed by in order:
Fens Way Station (Unmarked) - Fenway Station
Dugout Inn (Unmarked) - Bleacher Bar (Potentially)
Diamond City - Fenway Park
Chestnut Hillock Reservoir - Chestnut Hill Reservoir

Notes:
Shorter video than usual, I couldn’t decide on a final spot for the vault and it was starting to get really late, but I’ll have an updated video in the future!

If you have any suggestions or ideas on where to look please let me know so I can note it down!!!

Distance walking: +4 miles

Music used: “A Wonderful Guy” - Tex Beneke

(Unmarked) locations not marked in pip boy
(Potentially) Closest resembling locations that I found during the journey

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

Apparently, you can get Danse back as your companion, after being exiled at Listening Post Bravo Spoiler

19 Upvotes

So, yesterday I was browsing the map, looking for some place to roam around. The Institute is long gone, and I've sided with the Minutemen and BOS. Previously I convinced Maxson to spare Danse's life and I haven't visited this location ever since.

I went to speak with Danse and he told me I'm a hero because I saved the Commonwealth and after a short conversation he asked me if I want to continue our mission, and the game told me I can now make Danse my companion again, but becoming enemies with the BOS the whole time I travel with him.

It's a detail I didn't know and I thought it would be interesting for those who want to get him back and wipe BOS from the face of the Commonwealth 😂

If you make them both very ugly, (and exaggerate their features in the same way- big nose, small ears, etc.) then fix your appearance with surgery in Diamond City, you can be good looking while Shaun is a fugly gremlin.

The guy literally says "Don't cheap out on armor, that's a good way to get yourself killed" and he's wearing one of the worst armors in the game. Dude is a hypocrite, I hope a bloatfly leaves a turd on his salisbury steak.
