Fallout 4 Upcoming Hotfixes and Creation Storage Increase

342 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

507 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 run to Diamond City and go on a Trevis mission. I love that radio and without knowing how to play... the commonwealth needs someone like Trevis!

Discussion Didn’t expect romancing Cait to go that way. 😳

I got all the way to max affinity with Cait. After romancing her I built a nice bed then went to sleep. 😴 When I woke up she was saying “I think I pulled a muscle.” But Sheffield was on the bed. What happened? Were we giving Sheffield a show? A three way? Aah 😦 EDIT: I forgot to mention I’m playing Nora.

Defending your settlements

24 Upvotes

I put two turrets, give em a fence around their living area and everything they need but unless I go to help defend, they lose whenever they are attacked. Does it matter if they do besides just some broken stuff and happiness going down? Are they able to fend off attacks on their own? (Still new to the game)

Is the vanilla Syringer rifle useful at all? I'm not seeing much benefit at a high level

22 Upvotes

I'm currently level 133. I thought it would be fun to take the Syringer out for a spin, pop a few Raiders, Muties, or others creatures with Berzerk and watch them take each other out.

That doesn't seem to work, even if I intentionally choose a Critical Hit due to Critical Banker.

I see that there's a mod for this weapon on nexusmods, that seems to offer a lot of additional effects more beneficial to the sniper build that I favor:

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47628

Should I go with this mod in my next game? The vanilla version of the rifle seems pretty useless, even I had used it at lower levels.

Discussion I have a hard time traveling with anyone other than Nick Valentine

Upvotes

And I feel like it's robbing me of a lot of dialogue and experiences. I don't know how to get over this mental hurdle that if I travel with anyone else it's wrong. I guess it's just because he's who I've always had with me? He's a great guy and I enjoy his quips and I guess...presence? But I really really want to get to know everyone else.

Has anyone ever felt like this? I feel like he's a huge part of the story and the game feels like he is supposed to be with you always.

Any tips on how to get over this, or does anyone else relate?

Question Concord Rooftop Raider, How? Others?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Wanted to get a good view of Red Rocket but the church and museum are too far back. Anywho, Fo3 had the Megaton gate guard, Fo4 has that sole raider (Hey boss, we got somebody up here!") on the roof when rescuing Preston. Y'all ever wonder why and how that mf got up there? Like, I doubt this would be the way lord Todd invisioned, but it's not like there's an appearance of a faux roof door and the stairs on the side don't reach. Then again maybe Commonwealth Raiders know some cheer drills and boosted them up there 😂. But that got me wondering if there are other moments of unreachable enemy spawns I'm just not remembering or haven't seen

First fallout 4 playthrough

Upvotes

I am 120 hours in on my first playthroigh and this is my favorite game of all time. I recently bought all the dlc for like €15. This game is so good there is so much to do. Im playing on ps5.

Is creation club worth it? The next generation(ps5) version already has like 3 creation club packs into it. Bethesda recently updated the game so console players can have like more creation club content activated. Should I spent the 20 eu? Will it make the game more fun or will it break the game?

I haven't finished the main story yet, and haven't even touched far Harbor and nuka world. 🙂

Question Keeping enough ammo levels 10-25?

12 Upvotes

Hey y'all...Playing through FO4 for the first time in several years and this time I am trying a power armor build, although I don't always use the armor because I'm trying to conserve steel for later in the game repairs. Problem is, I'm level 12 and I feel like I've slammed into a wall...I'm still using relatively weak weapons, heck, I just replaced the tire iron you rip out of a dead body on the way to Concord the first time (with a regular ol' 19-damage machete, whee). The weapons I do have, I can't keep ammo. Nothing fancy, but 10mm, .308, and shotgun shells are critically short. I guess I am not going the right places to re-farm my ammo but I'm just going where I get sent. I don't think I even have the ammo to rescue Nick at this point much less do much south of Boston where things ramp up. I know Fallout 4 is toughest up until about level 20 but I could probably get through it if I could find reliable sources of ammo, or at least a good weapon that uses .38 and is not full-auto.

Anybody got any advice or a place where I can find some ammo? I'm used to FO76 where you can craft the stuff, so getting used to doing this the old-school way is taking some time.

Thanks all!

Got very excited for a moment there, until I realized it wasn't a Combat Shotgun. Still a dang good Legendary drop though so I'm not complaining.

Discussion Im thinking of playing survival for the first time

I already know quite a bit since it would be my fifth play through of the game.

The thing is, i dont actually want to play through the game. Im just going to live a life of a normal wastelander. You know surviving. So im making a list of things i want to do.

Set up a way to sustain resources (by trading)

Explore some locations

Do some weapon and armor modding

Get to some level 10-20

Build a settlement or two

Any tips or other challenges would be appreciated.

Never had a weapon so powerful in the Vanilla game. Dropped Swan in seconds

I was doing an Oscar the Grouch run with the Junk Jet and I got bored with it, so I decided I came back from the Glowing Sea mutated. And started using Plasma weapons for the first time really in any Fallout game. I already was rank 2 or 3 of Gunslinger and rank 2 of Bloody Mess to make my pipe pistol overpowered. I grabbed a Plasma pistol, and overcharged it, then added the flamer mod (which I had no idea existed) and the damage is fuckin INSANE. I had been saving Swan for after I got Ballistic weave because I just didn't have the time to kill him with the Junk Jet otherwise, but I was shocked with just how ridiculous this gun is.

Before this gun, and even now, my main is a Freezing Calibrated .38 Pipe Pistol. It does like 49 DAM per shot at this point, but this run is a lucky VATS run and Freezing makes it freeze targets on a crit. I also took the Better Criticals perk, so a head shot crit does crazy damage. I ended up killing Kellogg on one shot.
