Bethesda announced ’s next-gen update in 2022, and it’s finally here after a long delay. However, PC players might have been better off without it.
The massive update adds very little to the PC version and causes more problems than it solves. PC Gamer summarized the main problems that players are having with Fallout 4’s next-gen update.
For starters, the update itself is a whopping 14.4 gigabytes, and while that’s not unprecedented, it’s still a hefty chunk of data.
Worse, it causes issues for players loading modded saves and isn’t compatible with non-Creation Club mods. This includes breaking the Fallout 4 Script Extender, which many other mods rely on.
That likely won’t be back online until the Script Extender is, and it’s hard to say when that will be. Something similar happened with the Skyrim Anniversary update.
