Fallout 4 December Update Released – Full Patch Notes
by John Papadopoulos · DSOGamingBethesda has just released the December Title Update for Fallout 4 and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.
The Fallout 4 December Update will make the game more stable. It fixes crashes that could happen when downloading Creations, reloading data, waiting in menus, signing out of a profile, or leaving the Creations menu. It also fixes rare crashes after buying items, scrolling in the Creations menu, or starting a new game with Creations turned on. In addition, the update improves how the game handles fast menu actions and makes sure the game no longer freezes when you quit.
This latest Fallout 4 patch also improves the menus and controls. It fixes missing or broken UI parts, like missing buttons, images not zooming in, and empty titles in “My Library.” It also fixes problems with keyboard input and the mouse cursor in the Creations menu. Creations that were removed from the store can now be deleted one by one from the Load Order. The banner menu will no longer scroll forever when opening the Purchase Credits screen. In addition, the update makes category lists easier to see and use, fixes overlapping boxes, and makes sure button prompts show correctly on all platforms.
Interestingly, the December Update does not add any bug fixes. Instead, it improves how saving, loading, and game content work. For example, it fixes a problem where the Creations Bundle add-on was missing on Steam. The game will now correctly recognize Creation Club content when loading older save files. It will also show the correct warning message when Creations are turned off but not deleted.
Like always, Steam will download the Fallout 4 December Patch the next time you launch its client. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.
