SevnWolf Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) This worked for me. It's simple. You'll need some HD space... First, copy your entire FO4 folder. Name doesn't matter, so long as it's not "Fallout 4". Download this rollback patch: https://www.speedrun...d/fvo80/1#13vp6 (the one that goes from 1.5 to 1.4) Unzip the contents into the COPIED Fallout 4 folder. Run the batch file as Administrator. Once the rollback patch is done, and since you can't tell Steam not to update, you can either use Steam in offline mode or you can set the update times to some time in the day you know your computer will be off. (I set mine from 3am to 4am.) Here's the secret: Steam uses the game whose folder is named "Fallout 4" (no quotes). So... rename your original folder something else, then rename your copied folder to Fallout 4. Now Steam will use your old version. Here's the video that showed me how it was done: Hopefully this will tide you over until Bethesda/Nexus figure things out.

snapper69 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Why is this necessary? Mine upgraded in the background, but other than having to re-enable my mods, it seems to be working fine. Or is it just that I haven't discovered the problem yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevnWolf Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Why is this necessary? Mine upgraded in the background, but other than having to re-enable my mods, it seems to be working fine. Or is it just that I haven't discovered the problem yet? The reasons for wanting to do this could be varied. Examples in the past include video card driver compatibility issues, some people are running mods that they feel are vital to their enjoyment of the game and don't feel like waiting for the mod author to update it to play again. Some people would like to roll back to version 1.1 to have the advantage of a speedrun glitch. I haven't verified this yet, but some people are claiming the one must register on Bethesda.net in order to even use mods now (which I think is a low blow if it's true). For me, when I updated NMM and re-enabled my mods, nothing showed up in-game. I'm sure I'll get it figured out, but in the meantime I want to relax when I get home from work instead of tinkering because Bethesda decided to do an update and Steam doesn't give me a choice to put it off until the weekend. Lastly, I didn't post this to claim it's necessity, but simply to give people options. So whatever your reasons or needs, enjoy.

snapper69 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Guess that I was lucky then. Makes a change. No offence, probably a bad choice of wording, I'm at work and was posting it between working. I probably should have sais "why might this be necessary" or something similar. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb54 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Okay, upon do some posts that I read and confirming. The current update is needed if you want to play the FAR HARBOR DLC. The older FO 4 version, apparently will NOT allow Far Harbor to work. So just know, what is waiting for you shortly at the docks. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
