Why do you still want this update? The December update introduced even more bugs, and broke mods yet again.

Load times have become abyssmal, the game crashes frequently, and for many the game won't even start anymore. Not because of mods, just the base game.

Just so Bethesda can sell you a few new paid mods. Sorry..."Creations".

We're lucky we still have the pre-Next-Gen version on GOG.

If they do bring the Next-Gen and Anniversary Edition here it better not replace the original Game of the Year Edition. And rolling back only through Galaxy is not good enough. We need separate downloads for offline installers.

It's not that we want this or that update, without the latest version you simply lose access to a ton of mods, because modders use the latest version available as a base (and you can always downgrade for the old stuff)

I just hope I manage to get this before the Anniversary update in case they remove the Legacy version altogether.

Quite a few of those paid mods you hate so much are made by quite a few respected mod authors. I very much would enjoy paying for their mods, especially if it helps them out making new free mods.

I sure would love to get all the latest fixes in the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch and Community Fixes Merged and Previs Repair Pack. Plenty of other mods have moved on to requiring the latest version of the game and plenty of new mods also require it.

So I feel the need to question why you don't want it when you can just downgrade through plenty of established downgrading methods or presumably use Galaxy's rollback feature. And if downgrading the game is too hard for a user, then they shouldn't be modding the game in the first place.

I also don't understand why we are so lucky. GOG touted how much they support user choice by allowing that Horses game on their platform while everyone else banned it. But when it comes to an update for a game they already sell, well, users can't be trusted with their own purchases.

Don't believe I ever said I hated anything, that's your words, but Bethesda should call them what they are. Their persistence in calling them "Creations" is just pure manipulation. They know very well what it is they're selling, and they also know what a lot of people think of it, even modders themselves, hence their insistence on calling them something else. If you're happy with paying for your mods, go right ahead, no one's stopping you. I'm certainly not going to engage in a free vs. paid mods discussion here.

You wouldn't need a lot of those latest fixes if Bethesda just stopped breaking the game they released ten years ago.

I believe I already answered this question. My post isn't that long, so you should be able to find it. I can repost it for you here, if it eluded you, though: Feel free to head on over to the other place and read some reviews and posts in their discussion forum from December and January, after the latest update was released. You don't have to take my word on it.

If you're perfectly fine with Bethesda breaking the game even more with each new, arguably unnecessary update, that's your prerogative. I, however, prefer my games in as least of a broken state as possible.

If you reread the end of my post, you'll also see that I'm not totally against them bringing the updated version here either, just that they keep the downloads separate from eachother. We shouldn't have to rely on third-party tools, or even a launcher, to be able to downgrade a game on GOG.

GOG users are still stuck on Fallout 4 version 1.10.163 while Steam has received multiple updates, including the Next Gen patch and the Creation Club fixes.

GOG staff previously stated that you were “actively working with Bethesda” on this update, but there has been no progress or communication for months.

I’m not blaming GOG support — I’m asking whether this issue has been re‑escalated to Bethesda. The lack of parity is blocking F4SE, mod compatibility, and basic community tools.

Can you please reach out to your Bethesda contact again and request a status update? Even a simple confirmation that the update is still planned would help restore trust.

Thank you for continuing to advocate for GOG users.

i send a ticket to gog support what happens with Fallout 4 Next Gen/Anniversary Edition update for its not normal situation we wait from 21 April 2024 to now (23 January 2026) to get an update of 1 game we loved, not 10, not 100, only 1 game.
Its abnormal and stupid situation, for gog team give answer always after few months, Bethesda not wanna to teamwork with gog team, and ppl must buy game on steam to play latest version with all CC content.

I just hope that, if and when the time comes and the update makes it, they also make sure to keep the previous version available as it is. I currently don't own any machine modern or powerful enough to run the Anniversary Edition AFAIK (based on user feedback on the new version's performance), so if they just push it as a normal update, I'd have to resort to GOG-Galaxy's roll-back feature to get the actually playable version. That is, until they push enough AE updates to make the old version become unavailable via that as well, and thus the game unplayable for me.

Can you not back up the current version of the game files just in case that happens?

That's... a good idea. In my defence, I purchased Fallout 4 just a few days ago after posponing for so long and this didn't occur to me yet lol :O

I would probably still vouch for keeping the old version available though, just in case anyone who is in a similar situation as me but for any arbitrary reason (storage, internet connection, even just laziness) not willing to backup a copy right now doesn't end up with a unwelcome surprise later down the line.
But yes, I may as well check my external HDD drives and see if I can have some space left somewhere (no NAS or otherwise solid backup system for me, not yet at least).

Hello, here is answer from GOG Support:
"Hello there Lainkml.

Thank you very much for contacting us.

I have raised this matter with the appropriate team in order to establish when the newest update for Fallout 4 will be rolled out for our users.

It is most likely that the planned update had to be postponed due to technical issues or a fact that the devs of the game (Bethesda) have not provided us with the relevant update file on time / it did not pass our QA.

Please stay assured that as soon as the update is available and ready, we will definitely release it to our users ASAP.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused and if you have any other questions that you would like to ask, then feel free to reply to this e-mail and let me know.

All the best!

Does this mean the current version is the one prior to the next gen? I will buy if so, none of my mod now works on the steam version because half of them are broken

Yes it currently is the one prior to the Next gen version

Damn, i'm buying it asap. Hope they won't update it

Get the offline installer if worried once buying it
