Fallout 4 PC players release mod to roll back \u201cnext-gen\u201d script-breaking update Bethesda \/ NexusModsFallout 4 players on PC have been quick to release a mod, rolling back the game\u2019s \u201cnext-gen\u201d update which breaks compatibility with common mods, such as Fallout 4\u2019s script-extender. Fallout 4 is all the rage in 2024, with players returning to the nine-year-old game in the wake of the TV show\u2018s release. A \u201cnext-gen\u201d update has been released across all platforms, including PS5, Xbox and PC. But, some PC players and modders aren\u2019t happy with the update. One prolific modder, Dean Carter, recently released a video discussing a modding team\u2019s upcoming Fallout London mod, which was dubbed a \u201cDLC-sized\u201d mod, and was initially due for release on April 23. Following news of the next-gen patch, the release date for the mod has been pushed to an \u201cindefinite\u201d release date, as compatibility for tools such as the Fallout 4 Script Extender, a common backbone to many dedicated Fallout 4 mods, is no longer compatible with the latest version of the game. An excerpt from the Fallout 4 Script Extender page reads: \u201cThe 2024-04-25 Fallout 4 update (1.10.980 and later) has broken F4SE and the rest of the native code modding scene similarly to Skyrim\u2019s \u201cAnniversary Edition\u201d patch. I am working on an update and cannot currently offer a timeline for its availability, nor whether there will be any critical technical issues that would block an update. \u201c This has left many dedicated Fallout 4 PC players disgruntled, as many common issues, such as crashing with RTX-equipped graphics cards when weapon debris is enabled, and crashing when the game runs above 60 FPS remain in place, even after the patch. In response, a Fallout 4 PC player has taken it upon themselves to roll back the update to maintain mod compatibility. Posted to NexusMods, a mod titled \u201cSteam- Revert Next-gen Update\u201d was published hours after the next-gen update dropped. But, it\u2019s not actually a modification you make to any game files, but a way to revert a Steam installation of Fallout 4 to the previous build. The instructions, presented in a text file, instruct Steam to download the older version of the title, and replace various folder paths modified in the new update. While this remains a temporary fix for diehard Fallout fans who are running dozens of mods at once, it\u2019s clearly going to take time for modders to update their fan creations with the new update, especially as Fallout 4 Script Extender remains out of action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
