Or so the web says, it's at least a year overdue.

There's supposed to be some new gameplay, but mainly an update to run on newer equipment; PC and both consoles.

I've been waiting for this to play it again. But it took too long and I really didn't think they were going to do it.

Man... I used to do a LOT of extensive modding in Fo4, but I took a break a few years ago.
Tried to play again recently, and it crashes on startup.
(I'm sure it is because of something updating and interfering with a mod, but I don't know if I am up to the daunting task of going through and figuring it out.

I'd prefer it if Bethesda just left the game alone and not break all the mods.

I'm going to need a new tv now

Looked amazing on my XSX, had to turn on FPS mode just to run it smoothly. Dang it's going to look sparkly as heck.

I only got 14 hours into it last year. Decided my time was better spent completing all achievements in FO:NV instead. Maybe I'll give it a shot when the giant patch hits and breaks everyone's mods.

I never finished FO4 so I started a new game after the show. I'm running a 49" Ultrawide monitor and was sad to find that I can't used the whole screen.

I started a new play through a few weeks ago, I'm going to disable the update until I figure out how bad it fucks up the mods.

Anyone in the middle of a modded playthrough might want to take measures to prevent the update from installing and making their current modded save unplayable.

How to PREVENT the Fallout 4 Next Gen Update

Is the new update worth anything?  I don't run any mods, Xbox Series X.  Is the update all graphics based, or there additional quests/story, etc?  I'm all for a replay, it's been a while since I've played FO4.

I've got a ton of mods running right now on the PS5 version with no issues so far. My problem was when I loaded the game after the update it said all the dlc was outdated and wouldn't work with the update and asked if I wanted to erase them and re download the updated versions. I opted to get the new versions of the dlc's and after the old versions were deleted I went to the Playstation store and was informed I had to re-purchase the season pass for $37 in order to download the updated dlc content. That is B.S. and Bethesda needs to reimburse me for that shit.

Adds some new power armor sets and paint, weapons, and a few simple quest lines.

And breaks everything else.  

Wish I could have prevented it on steam before it was too late.

Yeah I was debating a modded playthrough now that I’ve finished my vanilla one. Seems like this update broke them all though.

I started a new playthrough about a week ago, I wanted to skip the update but forgot when it came out and was at work.

Now I'm about 8~12 hours into a new playthrough that I can't get into lol.  

Guess I'll be waiting for script extender to get fixed.

I'm only running a basic few mods (on PC), so far everything is still working after the update. Messed around for about 45 minutes and everything looks stable. I was expecting to be pissed because I started a new play through a couple of weeks ago and and up to level 50.

Should I buy base version for $20 or the ultimate edition for $40?

I own this fur Xbox but would be on PC this time.

The GOTY addition gets you all the DLCs for $40 which saves you $30 if bought separately. IMHO it's worth it, I have over 700 hours in game (I know, still a noob compared to many), I've definitely gotten more than $40 entertainment out of it.

It looks amazing and it plays perfectly. I loved F4 so I'm doing a new playthrough.

I'm seeing some occasional screen lag on series x post update.

Damn...
That download took hours
I also downloaded Nuka Cola but for some reason I can't launch it. Anyone else having issues?

1 hour into the game and I get blown up with a mini-nuke.
2 hours into the game it happened again!

Well, I accidentally discovered that the city of Concorde is not a friendly place when you are level 5 and don't really have any good guns.

I started playing it again, because of the update.  

I am playing on the PS5 and everything seems smoother.  It’s been awhile since I played it, so I could be wrong.  However, it does seem very smooth, no issues.

I think the graphics are more detailed, but that could be because I read something about the graphics being better.

make sure to put it on performance mode on ps5 to get 60fps. Its under settings and gameplay I believe.  If you dont see it its because you downloaded the ps4 and not the ps5 version.

The update has gave me a cats issue rendering it worthless.

It constantly says 0% chance when it should have some sort of chance.

Wow, thats a huge difference.  I wonder why it’s not turned on by default.  Thanks.

Yeah I was wondering that myself.  I had noticed the graphics look a bit better but didn’t notice an improvement in overall smoothness so I looked up online and found that info and realized that I had downloaded the ps4 version, so then I to re-download the ps5 version.
