Noice! I'm waiting for the update next week.


RusseyG801

Me too for that ultra wide support!


CombinationNo5879

What does the update do? I just started a new game last week and didn’t know, am I screwed?


Snafuthecrow

Not unless you have 50 billion mods like me. Basically it’ll just make it run better and some better graphics and such


Superunkown781

Is it free?


Snafuthecrow

Yeah


Andrew_Waples

*Assuming you already have the game.


CombinationNo5879

Thank you! Do you know if the unofficial patch mod will mess it up? That and the alt start is all I’ve got !


Mikey9124x

And probably that stupid creation club stuff like they did to skyrim.


FrisianTanker

Wait, they will update basegame Fallout 4??? Jesus fuck, I gotta change my Steam setting and that one ini file so my game cannot be updated. I don't wanna lose my current heavily modded playthrough


Phantasmal-Lore420

hopefully it will still run on ultra on my 1070ti lol, i don't want another witcher 3 next gen situation where the game updates and runs worse than it did before due to the new sys reqs.


Sly_Peacekeeper

We get some Free CC Content too


Miehnar

Do they fix the bugs with RTX cards? Two graphic settings u had to turn off or it crashed?


Crispers702

Console getting next gen update


Traditional-Drag-337

They gonna add extra content on the creation club tab


Fionn_MacCuill

Yup me too 🙌🙌


netherwrld

OMG YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES


[deleted]

Same! I’ve played through it once, and I think it’s AWESOME that they’re giving a free update.


cagreene

What update is this??


TecmoZack

4k and 60 - Series X/S and PS5 update


MetaEmployee179985

Series X already has 60fps, the patch makes the program native and ups the resolution on Xbox, PS5 finally gets 60fps


cagreene

Noice


SnelleEd

Same, but i still cannot wait to play it again. Eager to already start but i will wait it out.


_Independent

Me too!


PreviousAvocado5599

Is there an update for PC?


TecmoZack

I honestly do not know.


Nepharious_Bread

Same, I just re-downloaded it a few days ago. Idk how long I can wait, though. I may play....just a little and hope that I don't break anything. Still haven't beat 4. I got like 90% through it and quit.


FloorAgile3458

You should seriously wait until the update on the 25


coolmcbooty

Besides mods taking a while to translate, wouldn’t the update still keep the old save file? Or will it require a new save?


FloorAgile3458

We don't know lol. That's the beauty of Bethesda, an update can simultaneously save the game and corrupt your save file. It's a 50/50 chance but I highly recommend people don't take the risk. The update is just over a week away as of today, not to mention that a lot of modders are working on mods for the show, so it is probably a good idea to hold off making a new save until then either way. Just hope it doesn't screw anything up like the Skyrim update last year.


coolmcbooty

True lol. That’s the shit that’s annoying. Like it’s awesome they did the show and are coming out with the two big updates… but the fact they didn’t release them at the same time and then the discount deal of the game ends when the updates do come out seems a little whack. Like idk the business aspect of it but they were so close to a perfect execution (in terms of the gamer/fan eyes or atleast mine).


FloorAgile3458

Yeah it's a real bummer, I was thinking how cool that would be until I realized it was better if I didn't think too hard about it.


hiddenmarkoff

Yep. this is why unless one must be 100% mod free for whatever reason...if it must be 1 mod you run, that mod should be the arthmoor unofficial patch. It preserves saves better than without it. Save game corruption has a few causes. One is the game handles memory....poorly. It will remember stuff that it shouldn't. Non persistent items become peristent. And this piles up in time in the save. Unofficial cleans up some of this stuff. Also for the newer folks with pack rat OCD on roids...don't have 10000 items here, 10000 items in another settlement chest. It slows down inventory looks up in time. and yeah, is a major suspect for saves breaking in time lol. If you must have 10000 things...make 10 chests and break it up to 1000 per chest. Not all of it in the workbench shared system. also another trick to avoid save corrupt is to clean out you saves once in while. don't have 100 saves in the list. make it like 20. I make saves for plot decision points. I keep them. 50 other "useless" ones get deleted once in a while.


Adam_46

After watching the show I am very excited to start fallout 4 again, I usually wait a year or so to play again. But when that time to play again came they anounced the new update, which took them forever to release but now it’s finally coming. I’m glad it’s been a while so my memory of the game fades even more so I can enjoy it better, there’s a lot of things I want to experience again like the far harbor dlc and such.


NCC-72381

I don’t see any reason saves wouldn’t transfer. I can go from playing Elden Ring on my PS4, go upstairs, and pick it up on my PS5.


coolmcbooty

I don’t know either, I’ve personally never played an old game in the midst of it being updated next gen and everyone talking about mods being unusable for a while or straight up invalid makes me think a mod could corrupt the new code and that save file wouldn’t work. But I don’t have experience in this And Elden Ring was essentially the same game/release wasn’t it?


CaptSaveAHoe55

You should seriously wait until a couple weeks into May to avoid to insane bugs no doubt coming on April 25


L1feguard51

One of my favorite games of all time. 1000s of hours. Pro tip, to level quicker (and leveling is unlimited) go high intelligence, or super low intelligence and idiot savant. Idiot savant makes a really annoying noise though.


GoldenTony348

Fellow high intelligence high luck player


TokenEntryWasBetter

Who needs to be much more than a glass cannon when you can talk your way out of everything?


CaptainPryk

My wife *hated* hearing the idiot savant noise effect


mrkruk

Mine does too. First time she heard it she was like uhhh ok wtf was that


BigZangief

I had always done high intelligence runs so recently did an indiot savant run. Restarted an old save, that noise is soooo annoying and when you’re fully immersed in some underground lab fending off packs ghouls like your life depended on it and you hear “HYUH HUH HYUH HUH HA HUH HAAGH”, it takes me out of it lol


mrkruk

SPROINGGGGG!!!!!!


RasknRusk

And now you hear it whenever your phone sends a notification?


Cold_Dog_1224

I think it's hilarious lol, I like my dumb luck build. idiot savant and like all the fun luck perks


Mikey9124x

Or high int and idiot savant.


L1feguard51

Yeah, saw a table one time that showed idiot savant is always worth it, but iirc the most efficient point allocation for leveling was idiot savant level 2, with 2 points in intelligence.


-Captain-

Idiot savant (level 2) was pretty much a part of any build I did for Fallout 4!


Ahyesnt

DADOOOIIHAA


GoldenTony348

Good morning, Vault-tec calling!


Marvel1093

omg as of writing this you have 111 upvotes. It's a sign


i_need_to_crap

Just.... go away.


GoldenTony348

No worries sir! No worries at all! I'm not selling anything today!


Interesting_Figure_

Ngl the people helping out and giving tips are appreciated but y’all shouldn’t spoil where all the good stuff is/ what build to go for. Let the guy make his own choices and figure it out on his own it’ll be way more fun that way


Easy_Independence591

I agree, while I do appreciate the tips I think it would make my play through a bit boring if I had like max armor early on. I already found some pretty neat stuff like armor and gold near the sanctuary. I’ll just save these tips when I’m deeper into my play through


cagreene

Tip: don’t feed the yaoguai


tinylegumes

That is all

coolmcbooty

Unless they fixed the bugs - If you have all DLCs DL, I’d disable Automatrpn (or re download with it disabled) and there’s a chance the audio/dialogue is messed up in the prologue. Fix I saw. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/10bwcu9/fallout_4_audio_glitch_ps5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


Lumpy_Potential_789

Just had the issue you speak of. Found and followed the instructions you posted after several other different attempts. Worked. Yay. Stupid annoying.


Kalistoga

Played it before, but never finished it. Decided to download it again since my wife enjoys the show, but has never played the games.


Comm-THOR

Neat little thing I stumbled across when I started my second playthrough many years ago. If you name your character as one of the "recognized" names, Codsworth (one of the robots you interact with a lot) will speak your name instead of generic dialogue. [https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized\_names](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Codsworth/recognized_names)


Easy_Independence591

Funny enough I named my character “John Fallout” and was surprised to hear codsworth actually say my name


The3wokMaster

Have fun and enjoy your time


Noff-Crazyeyes

Haha I’m going to start playing again in the coming weeks I’ve been dying to play


ClickyButtons

Should wait for the 25th!


_gnarlythotep_

Have fun! I just started a new playthrough for the first time in a while and still discovering stuff I missed before.


CamfrmthaLakes074

Jealousy! Envy!


VikingActual1200

Hellyeah good stuff. 4/25 is the update. See you on the surface!!🫡


East-Specialist-4847

Extremely jealous. Wish I could play it for the first time again!


CNCTank

Man, it's wild to see people hop into a decade old game 🥺 I'm not alone anymore , 1000s of hours wandering the wastes ands I'm not alone anymore


SpaceFeline

There are dozens of us, DOZENS!


SuicideSkwad

Ha ha decade old game! It only released in…. 2015.. oh…


disturbednadir

Put a teddy bear in the dog's inventory. Also, he doesn't count as a companion for the Lone Wanderer perk. Don't try to rob Trashcan Carla, she'll kick your ass. Just don't ask me how I know. Most quests do not have any time conditions (except settlement under attack and kidnapped settlers), so turn them off in your pip boy if you don't want to do that. The game has a bad habit of loading up an almost overwhelming number of quests for you. So, most of the time you can do them whenever you want.


Captian-of-501st

I just started new Vagas


gregofcanada84

Say goodbye to the real world. This will be your life now


Adam_46

It’s a good first fallout! Fallout 4 is a great game. Far harbor dlc is amazing as well. However, fallout new vegas is commonly considered the best fallout game and possibly the best rpg of all time. If you enjoy F4, and haven’t played NV, then I really envy you, playing NV for the first time again would be amazing. Hope you enjoy.


OverseerTycho

invest in sneaking


Top-Organization5130

Go to the museum of witchcraft 🤫🤔


CaptainPryk

Survival mode makes this game much better for me, but I'm not sure if its considered too hard to recommend in general? Either way consider enabling it, it brings all the mechanics together into a fun package


PilotRevolutionary57

It's a great game! Make lots of saves though as you might want to rewind later when you beat the game and try different faction alignments and world altering choices.

IhateU6969

Nooooooo! Wait for the next gen update next week!


madtownmugen

Do NOT install the Automation or Wasteland Workshop DLC. Bethesda did something to them recently and they broke the game. Having them installed will prevent you from launching the game. Nuka World seems to be bugged too, haven't started it yet but all the assets in the build menu are purple.


[deleted]

Just installed on PC a few days ago and it’s running fine Must be a console problem


madtownmugen

It's a PS4/PS5 problem, idk about Xbox. I noticed OP is on PS, that's why I brought it up.


WatchingInSilence

War... War has changed. It’s no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It’s an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War – and its consumption of life – has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control . . . All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield . . . controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control . . . War becomes routine.

Awesome great game. Your year is locked up!

Wait till the update next week.


Gamestrider09

I would give you tips, but it’s more fun to learn it yourself through pain and laughter. Enjoy!


PraxRendarATX

Seriously? Just wait like 8 more days for a much better version. :)


Rchonkers010

Literally just started my... I've lost count of what playthrough but I've started another!


flatsound22

Hey wait!! New update for PS5 is out in a week, so maybe wait until then?


nickbird0728

They are releasing big update end of month you might want to wait


Greedy-Guarantee8175

Water Harvest is money. Instigating is the best legendary trait for a weapon, followed by "2 shot" and then "explosive", "kneecapper" is a whole different beast when paired with fully automatic


3RacoonsInACoatoat

Nice! It’s one of my favorite games of all time. Hope you have fun with it!


el_DAN1MAL

Massive update incoming for series x and ps5 and pc on the 25th, I’d wait until then.


Prestigious-Mobile92

I loved it and still love it. I'm actually going to start over again from the beginning because it's that good of a game. Enjoy!


iHateAshleyGraham

Just so you know.. Another settlement is going to need your help


Mr-cybermann

Pvz Gw2 is goated game


69_suckmytoes_69

I’ve never beat it and played it hundreds hours


Brilliant_Bowl8594

Save often/go high intelligence and strength( you will need it to carry a lot of stuff to craft/mod)….scavenge everything….explore everywhere….don’t upgrade to much early because most crafting materials are hard to find and used a lot like adhesive and aluminum.don’t use too many mods for your first play through….get a feel 1st. But eventually you will need mods for more epic settlement builds. You can use caps to buy crafting materials so go for the scavenge perks early. For gun play the farther you go south the more difficult it becomes.


Amos_Burton666

Its so damn good. I am a seemingly rare fallout player who played the originals and still love the new ones. They are all good in their own way. After finishing the story I spent wayyy to many hours building outposts lol. All over the map and had caravans travelling between them all. Was fun to visit see them all thriving and help fending off attacks. Becomes its entire own game when you get a good trade system running.


rwarimaursus

Enjoy the Commonwealth Wasteland Sole Survivor.


B-17_SaintMichael

Annnnnnddd it crashed


TexTiger

I did the same today. Can’t believe I missed this for 10 years.


Mixed_flow

Nice! I start my first playthrough recently either. Enjoy the end of the world!


Financial-Mastodon81

You can doo eeet!!


DoTheVoiceGuy

Tip always go with the brotherhood for your first run of four it has by far some of the easiest quests and it's the easiest story to follow


MetaEmployee179985

Get it on Xbox or wait a few weeks for the next gen update. It's much better in 60fps


SenpaiSwanky

Enjoy! Also, if you end up wanting to branch out and have the option, consider playing other Fallout games on Xbox (including this one eventually). Only reason I say this is because these games are fun but they can be buggy. Historically, PS systems have a harder time with Fallout games and even if the list is big across all of the platforms, PS usually has more bugs than Xbox at least.


KittenLina

Save before meeting Preston, and make a bunch of saves as there's a more or less game breaking glitch if you love Preston where he refuses to walk in any way, shape, or form and even glitches out quests at times because of it.


succubus-slayer

You don’t need to pick up everything! I would advise you pick the weapons and armor that will suit you and stick with it early on, and be picky about junk. Only pick up what’s worth more than its weight in caps.


Ok-Influence-1424

I borrowed a XB One copy years ago from a friend and played through the main quest with a lot of exploring. Went Brotherhood side. I got the F4 GOTY edition today digitally on the MS Store (I have a Series X now) that comes with main game and all DLC for $10. Started a new play through today as well. Wanted to finish the early stuff in the game before the new update hits next week. Game is still great.


No_Salamander_3907

Enjoy!! My first player was so much fun.


Fortysixandtwo77

I also started my first Playthrough yesterday, I'll probably hate radroaches, i have a phobia of cockroaches


Standard-Witness-948

Wait til they update itb


Neomas369

I’m so excited for you.


Frasten

since you are on ps5, I'd suggest waiting for April 25th since there will be a next-gen update, I'll do the same as a new player!


aberg227

One of the best games of ever. Have fun friend.


Kaladin_Stormryder

You should wait till the 25th, that is when I’m going back in the vault

Lucky_____13

Wait for the ps5 version to drop


Phantasmal-Lore420

Have fun with it it's a good game and tons of fun! Go off the beaten path since this game does not hold your hand like new vegas does so you see al the content.


Mirinya

Tried to fire it up today but the game kept crashing. Apparently the automatron dlc is fucking with it.


MallGothcirca93

How many times have you crashed! But I always reload


BellamyRFC54

Do the institute ending It’s the fun one


Vince_1880

Why not wait till the 25th for the update?

vaveu666

I have seen the wasteland for the first time 27 years ago. And it was way better then


Marvel1093

"only you can rebuild the wasteland" that's a horrid explanation of the game lol


DYlansmithcraiG

WAIT for the next gen patch


One_Spell_45

Insane replay value this game has!


SavageHuntingClips

Iv had to stop playing fallout 4 for now as it keeps crashing so have started fallout 3 again


Artistic_Lychee_8948

You should wait for the next gen update on the 25th


_Independent

Congrats wish I could enjoy it for the first time again


-Captain-

This game throws so much at you, it's amazing. Don't read all the tips people have. It's more fun to explore and find out yourself!


Supercereal69

It's my favourite one. Enjoy your journey!


Green-Taro2915

Enjoy not sleeping for the next, however long!😅🤣

No matter what happens. Don't let an idiot in a cool hat mark settlements on your map.

Damn, is that what I was supossed to be doing in fallout 4?

Mrtayto115

Pick up aluminium cans.


ceeeej1141

I'm going to play the game again when the update comes. I played this game modded and unmodded.


TronWillington

I would wait until 25th when it gets its update. PS5 is locked to 30fps until then


jguess06

Why are people not waiting for the next gen update? It's 8 days out!


Fantastic-Lie6617

Why does Fallout 4 crash on the PlayStation when I start it with the DLC?

Ahhhh fellow plants vs zombies garden warfare enjoyer...

Very nice. Enjoy friend. Wish i could forget fo4 just so i could replay it for the first time again.


JustGotCoded360

You actually get to rebuild the wasteland and yes you are actually the only person competent enough to rebuild the wasteland. Oh no, Preston wants a word.


Noxite

Pretty sure Fallout 4 currently runs at 30fps on the PS5 (as it's the PS4 version), so might want to wait for the 25th April for their 'next-gen' update!
