Fallout 4 update aims to fix some of what Bethesda broke with its Anniversary Edition

If Bethesda is known for one thing, it’s featuring a ton of bugs in its games. Luckily, dedicated modders have for years kept the likes of Fallout 4 stable with countless mods, bug fixes and other optimisations – a majority of which were recently broken thanks to Fallout 4’s controversial Anniversary update. Just a few weeks later and a double-edged sword of an announcement has been made, with Fallout 4 set to receive yet another update which many fans have not been asking for.

Taking to their steam page to make the announcement, the team at Bethesda Game Studios unveiled a new update coming to Fallout 4 which should fix many of the issues introduced with the recent Anniversary update – including but not limited to:

• Fixed a crash that could occur when selecting ‘Purchase Credits' on PC 
• Fixed a crash when selecting ‘Download all owned Creation Club Creations’
• Switching Xbox user profiles no longer causes softlocks or loss of controls
• Performance improvements in the Creations menu across platforms
• Fixed softlocking when entering/exiting the Creations menu repeatedly
• Players can now like/unlike creations in the Load Order menu as intended

The full list of patch notes can be found HERE and does include plenty of welcome fixes. That said, as mentioned this update will once again break a ton of key mods which Fallout 4 fans have used for years now.

Response to the update has been rather negative, with many Steam users expressing frustration at the fact that their mods will once again be broken while offering little in the way of benefits. Of course, users on PC can block Fallout 4 from updating in order to preserve their games, but regardless it is becoming quite clear that fans have started to tire of Bethesda’s cycle.
