"Fallout 4 Next Gen – Patch Notes

NEW CREATION CLUB CONTENT

ENCLAVE REMNANTS

Some say the past is a scar, cut across the skin of the Commonwealth. Others believe it's a scab clotted over an unhealed wound. Those who fought the Enclave, and those who serve them subscribe to the latter. And when the scab is broken the flag of this old-world cabal will once more stand at full mast. Unless of course, you stop them first. Features the classic Enclave Colonel uniform and over a dozen workshop items! If you have other Enclave creations installed, some of these troops may use this equipment against you!

(Quest "Echoes of the Past" starts on the road north of Saugus Ironworks.)

This is so lazy and misleading Bethesda should fix that ASAP and NOT call it "Next Gen" for PC players in the headline of the patchnotes. They did it right in the advertisement article about it.

Compare this wording:
https://bethesda.net/en/article/4s2bXQEbpcrsdCZhUYLHAi/fallout-4-is-getting-free-updates

To that misleading wording:
https://bethesda.net/en/article/4RcipuAES2k0KP7eYf2DwD/fallout-4-next-gen-patch-notes
It's the same on Steam:

They could have called it "Next Gen" if the game would support up to 480 FPS without breaking the physics, hacking/lockpicking and if they maybe added at least some better textures etc. and all the other issues the game still has but not like this.

How can I opt out of this "update" before it breaks my game, mods or computer?

Only ways you can "opt out" is to set the Steam version to update when you run the game, then either run Steam in offline mode each time you want to run it or possibly use a program like F4SE to run the game instead of Steam?

You right click the game in Steam>Preferences/Settings>Updates and there you can turn off automatic updates.

Or you do this:

You can also do this with all other Steam games, in the "Updates Tab" you can see the "App-ID" for example it's 489830 for Skyrim SE and it's 377160 for Fallout 4. You just move that file somewhere for backup and that's it. If you ever want to update it, you just move it back to where it was and that's it. But you need F4SE in working order to do that, else you can't start the game anymore.

I combined both for my modded Skyrim AE.

When did Fallout 4 come out again? On what systems did it initially launch on?
Yeppers. They weren't going to call the update something else for PC, that's just retarded, no company ever does that.

It was released in 2015. Why should they call it "Next Gen" if all they did was add some Creation Club stuff?

It's called hype- or lies. Never follow the hype.

One day you guys will wisen up to how Bethesda works when the pain gets enough.

[Drake77]

Um so the new Creation club stuff isn't on PC? I was looking forward to that but I can't seem to find the new stuff just what I already had for years.
