Fallout 4 1.4 Update: 4 Things to Expect & 3 Not To

Don't Expect It to Fix Everything

Don't Expect It to Fix Everything

Again, we don't expect the Fallout 4 1.4 update's change log to change much from beta to public release. So if you don't see your specific Fallout 4 problem listed, there's a chance this update won't deliver a permanent fix for it. 

Fallout 4 problems will almost certainly linger after this update. This is a marthon, not a sprint, and Bethesda will continue to look at feedback, refine its game and deliver free updates that improve performance. 

Above, I used the word "chance." And that's because there's also a chance this update will fix Fallout 4 problems that aren't listed on the change log. I've seen it myself.

One other thing. While the 1.4 patch will kill a "duplicating scraps shipment" glitch, don't expect the 1.4 update to "fix" every single exploit in the game. Gamers are a resourceful bunch and I'd be very, very, very surprised if Fallout 4 was exploit-free after the patch. 

Here's the full list of fixes:

  • General stability and performance improvements
  • During "Getting a Clue" quest, Kellogg's desk will remain a working container
  • During "Rocket's Red Glare", resolved issue where companions could not be dismissed after completing the quest
  • Fixed an issue with "Kremvh's Tooth" quest item not spawning properly
  • Settlements under attack will now display an updated message with the results of the attack if player does not respond
  • Fixed an issue with screen effects not clearing away properly after using a scope
  • Fixed an issue with trying to sprint while in third person with a minigun equipped
  • Rank 4 of Demolition Expert perk now properly increases the area effect of explosives
  • The Scrounger perk now includes additional common ammo types
  • Fixed an issue where Calvin Whitaker would disappear in Vault 81
  • Fixed an issue where Ninja and Sandman perks combined would apply the incorrect damage bonus
  • Fixed an issue where Rank 3 of Grim Reaper's Sprint did not fill critical meter properly
  • Fixed an issue with key cards not spawning correctly in Vault 75
  • Fixed an issue where enemies would stop spawning during "Airship Down"
  • Being in first person while wearing power armor and quickly switching weapons will no longer cause the Pip-Boy to be stuck
  • Fixed an issue with the autosave counter getting incorrectly reset
  • Fixed issue that would cause the Pip-Boy menu to turn invisible while swimming
  • Fixed an issue where scrapping larger quantities of a single item would inadvertently scrap a legendary item
  • Fixed issue where exiting workbenches would cause third person to stop working properly
  • The Scribe can now be assigned consecutive settlements properly
  • Fixed issue with duplicating scraps shipments
  • Fixed issue with vendors not properly exchanging caps after several consecutive transactions in a row
  • Fixed issue with the quicksave and autosave message persisting through loading screens
  • Fixed an issue where updating to the latest patch would cause Options settings to reset back to default (Xbox One)
  • Fixed an issue with loading save with a placed object in water, not properly floating

    I turned it into a liquor store now with a pool in the back. Wish it was a filled up pool but oh well. I want to see more prewar things, Vault-Tec Walls or Sanctuary Hills styled walls. More Carpet Options or choices that no clip thing is very important tho it takes forever to glitch props into the actual world buildings and props etc.

    could yall maybe fix the toilet too and make it look right? or add one that is normal/prewar that isn’t all crooked and busted up looking? Maybe add a fridge or kitchen pack too and some more bed options.
