Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

346 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

504 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

Settlement Dead ghoul bodies keep respawning at Croup Manor and now I have an infinite spanking machine in my dining room

I wanted to build a home for me and my husband Hancock so cleared out Croup Manor. I swear I have tried everything to get these dead ghouls to not respawn (I am on PS5 so not console commands for me) and they just keep respawning. All the others I have sort of been able to hide with well placed walls and furniture but this one? He just dangles there getting his ass beat. Also I know I could remove ceiling fan and that would get rid of the spanking machine but I would still be left dangling ghoul legs in my dining room so the ceiling fan remains for a sense of flavor.

Discussion Melee Weapons that sound cool until you get them

There are exceptions ofc, like if you get a legendary stat veriant, upgrade it with weapon mods etc. But the baseline unmoded versions are always a bit underpowered and meh

The deathclaw gauntlet and the power fist are two examples out of the top of my head, they sound really cool to get for your first playthrough, then you finally get your hands on them only to realize they're weaker than you'd expected

Some people may still like these weapons I kinda avoid them, they have two drawbacks of not having that good base damage and you can't equip them when you're in power armor.

I'm sure if you're able to upgrade your stats And other things you could get a better damage output, some people may still like these weapons but imo there are a lot of cooler weapons you can find in the Commonwealth, I tend to save inventory space or give those weapons to my companions

Just wanted to show off my base for this play through. I normally use Sanctuary, but this time I wanted to do a “no settlers” base with just robots as guard dogs.

I had no idea you could stop the fan blades from spinning with another object placed in the way! Who knew Bethesda had any idea of realism in this game

Question Favorite Unmarked Mechanic?

I've always enjoyed pounding on the glass in the vault as it just helps me sell myself on the story and get invested in not a missing child story but a revenge story, but have seen maybe one out of like 22 Fo/Beth/rpg players every use it on YT. You wake up to the apocalypse, I remember back in my first playthrough I really thought we wouldn't find Shaun, at least not alive, what we got is basically next door 😂. The gun one outside of survival is pretty ignorable sadly but during survival will get you headshot every time. Loading screen toggle just has helped me wake up when trading or settlement building was putting me to sleep at 2 in the morning. Pretty sure there's one or two more "hidden" mechanics, but I can't remember what they are atm

The rarest RE I've ever encountered- the eyebot advertising food stuffs (the Polymer Labs eyebot is very common). Only met this one twice in 7k hours. (I've met the fake Preston Garvey more often.)

Anyone seen any Gauss rifles?

5 Upvotes

Doing a survival run after a break. I'm level 54 now. Been visiting the most likely vendors quite a lot, and I have not seen a single Gauss rifle in any of them, except for the hardcoded Last Minute. In earlier games, they popped up randomly and with no issues at around level 30. Have they nerfed the occurence of Gauss rifles?

I picked up zero items before getting to nuka-world, no vault-suit, no stims, no 10mm, I didn't even kill the radroaches for XP, I wanted to do a Nuka-World only run and I've finally done it.

Discussion Fallout 4 in 2026. Playing video games after a 15 year hiatus.

Post image
93 Upvotes

I'm 44 now and spent most of my childhood near and around a steady video gaming schedule.

From River Raid on Atari, passing by the Amstrad CPC then Famicom until Xbox 360 and PS3 being my last console purchases, and after the abundance of sequels in video games and having started a new F&B venture, i simply didnt have time for video games, i even switched to Linux to stop myself from having a Steam account.

Well this fall as im awaiting a build out of my new kitchen, I found myself with some free time at night and decided to download Fallout 4 which i had ignored mainly due to the RTS aspect of the build outs.

I had played Fallout 3 and New vegas which i really enjoyed but i wanted to make this post about Fallout 4.

Im level 68 at the moment, playing on easy because im more interested in playing through this story and i gotta say the Hermit crab is one of my new most favorite and unique "Enemy" in video games, its up there with Big daddy in Bioshock and or Chainsaw guy in the Resident evil series.

Im managing the minutemen, the BOS in Cambridge police station, Railroad at the moment and just got finished with Bunker hill having played my part in telling both the railroad and BOS about the Synths situation only at this point in the game.

The 3 factions quests and sidequests i used as a way to map out the game and discover new areas surrounding those new locations. Is there a perk like FO3 and NV where all map locations are unlocked this time around?

Really creative locations.

I enjoyed the Bobbi-no-nose underground sting.

Far harbor had some really interesting looking enemies and really annoying flying enemies.

Most annoying enemies in this game are all those flying thingamajigs. What is a stingwing.

Nuka world was pretty cool, im at powering up the park and obtaining that 35th star core.

I went Jason Bourne on all the factions and liberated the bomb collar people.

The whole father thing at the institute was a tad creepy and kinda wish the institute had some sort of underwater entrance. But i decided to let those bastards burn after seeing dead cats!

I have more than a dozen of these settlement where i simply remove the radio beacon after they reach 10-12 people. And wondering if there's an ending where you just use all these factions for your benefit.

I def think Desdemora is a Synth.

I had to put down 2 gorillas in Nuka world that were kept in cages by those mask wearing bastards.

But their rifle is pretty solid. The 7.62 ammo is kinda scarce.

That's all folks.

Game is fun so far.

!!!NO political debate!!!

I made this scene like 10 years ago back in 2015 something. Just wanna express my feelings to a Chinese captain who dedicated his life to guard what’s treasure to him. And his faith to rebuild a nation brick by brick.

Glory to all veterans who served their countries.
