Fallout Fixes Pushed Through, Xbox and DLC Issues Solved

I think it's totally fair to say that the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition has suffered through a bit of a rough start to life, as fans criticise the release for doing everything from breaking old saves to rendering mods unusable.

The latter has begun to be addressed by the dedicated modding community, with many of the biggest mods out there now update for compatibility with the new version (including the Script Extender).

That aside, a lot of the onus is on Bethesda to roll out updates that address the most egregious issues quickly, and new communications from the developer suggest the first steps in that process are well underway.

Three Major Fixes on the Way For Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition

Bethesda Entertainment

As first reported by PureXbox, Bethesda is set to roll out three pretty sizeable fixes for the Anniversary Edition which are set to roll out "early" next week, though an exact date wasn't given.

The list of fixes you can look out for then are as follows:

• 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.

In addition to those, the developer is rolling out a more significant patch on the week of 24 November, the exact details of which will be shared later. That said, they did confirm a pretty important change that will come at that taime, sharing the following, "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."

So that is a pretty big boon for Xbox players, and something for PlayStation players to look forward to further down the lonesome road.

Beyond that, there's a further patch releasing in the first half of December, though again the specifics of that remain a mystery at the time of writing.

What is clear is that the developer has a major job on their hands to right the proverbial ship and get this new addition of the game back on track. That still likely won't stifle complaints about the Anniversary Edition when you put it up against the Skyrim release of the same name, but it's an important start and the first step that needs to be made to restore faith.
