For the love of goodness, Please do freeze it. I am begging ya, and I don't beg anyone.

Well, congratulations. I hope you aren't planning on modding it. Because you don't get an option as to weather or not you update your game and break all your mods. I had the game working the way I liked it, on that pathetic, arrogant.... Steam. Now I have to spend an unknown amount of time, not playing my game, but updating the mods, assuming the modders are still updating their mods. I don't care in the least what they may have "fixed". I was having fun with the game the way it was. That is just one reason I will never buy a game on Steam ever again. I spend more time modding my games instead of playing them. It's a waste of money.
Also, Steam will ALLOW you to play the games you bought in offline mode. But did you know that you will be required to check in with Steam from time to time or else you won't be permitted to play "your" games any longer? You need their permission to play the games that you purchased. So, don't expect to able to play any Steam games on a computer that looses its NIF card. You'll need big brothers permission and constant over watch to continue playing "your" games.

It is a shame that GOG isn't getting the updates in a timely manner. But once it does, I'm uninstalling the Steam version and will only use the GOG version. Fallout is the only game I have left on Steam. Once GOG catches up, Steam will be dead to me. And I don't care what game comes out that I simply must have. I'm tired of wasting my money with Steam and I will not do it again.

For sure.GOG has such a good reputation with the community right now BECAUSE, it did not update from .163 game version.

All that they need to do is add it as a separate update branch and keep the .163 version available as well. It would actually be good to give users the option to use a newer version of the game if that is their preference. When you bought the game thinking oh they're going to be bringing the new update to the game "its not here yet but they said it's coming so I'll buy now" its not a good look at all when you decide ah we changed our mind not going to do it screw all you guys that are waiting on it and took us at our word.

Separate branch, like for Witcher 3, would be ideal.

I bet you wish you hadn't done that now as they released a patch on Steam that forced paid mods onto players, which broke all prior unpaid mods.

Subject: Fallout 4 GOG version still stuck at 1.10.163—F4SE and Vortex mods broken

Body:

The GOG version of Fallout 4 is still locked at 1.10.163, which breaks compatibility with the latest F4SE and mod setups managed through Vortex. Bethesda’s updates have already rolled out on Steam and consoles, but GOG players are left behind—again.

Vortex assumes the latest build, and F4SE throws a version mismatch error. This isn’t just a modding inconvenience—it’s a platform-level failure to support parity.

GOG team, please escalate this with Bethesda. If the update is delayed, at least provide a timeline or workaround. Modding is core to Fallout’s longevity, and GOG users deserve functional parity.

On f4se's page there is still a version for 1.10.163 available to download. And all mods (or mods releases) prior to "next gen scam" are working perfectly fine.

So has there been some communication from GOG about this issue? I was expecting to be able to get the AE edition of FO4 by now.

The Creations bundle appeared in the API 2-3 weeks back. It’s not an announcement but it’s something at least

use the mod version meant for this game version, it's not rocket science, I'm playing this modded with f4se and everything without issues

Current GOG version is regarded as the most stable version of Fallout 4. So, except for few "creations" of questionable quality, there is nothing to gain, that some mod haven't done it better.

Ok this post is from 2024. Was there any progress?

I think the only way we're going to get any news about this is if people start emailing GOG and asking them politely to provide us with new information.
