Skyrim was getting updates long after release. Surely there will be more than 1 patch for FO4?

If were lucky?

It has been less than a month, be patient "the patches are on their way" as George R.R. Martin would say

I'm sure there will be.

It's only a few days into January, they'll come when they come...

Everyone deserves a Christmas break

They are doing smaller patches more often (source: Bethesda themselves).

This translates into the current turn-a-round and communication that you are seeing now.

No. I'm not impressed either.

One Patch to rule them all, One Patch to find them, One Patch to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

One Patch that ruined what already worked. Thanks.

I agree kolyana....I have shelved the game until further notice?

didn't you hear? It fixed exploits because "exploits in a single player game = bugs" said no one ever.

Yeah, I'm still pissed that I can no longer bind hotkeys to the numpad numbers, which I could before the patch. Essentially I can't use hotkeys anymore since I'm on keyboard and I'm left handed. Thanks Beth. No really, thanks.

In five days, the game will have been out for two months. Given their stated intentions to release patches more frequently, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything else yet.

That being said, I haven't had a lot of issues with the game. As far as stability goes, it's been the least crashy Bethesda game I've ever played, with only a couple crashes in more than 400 hours of play. Haven't ran into any major bugs yet, either. The ones I've dealt with have been relatively minor, like the vertibird minigun vanishing on take-off.

Yea, the lack of patches is surprising considering the number of bugs. I haven't had any problems in my 120 hours of play, but I can see how those that have problems would be frustrated

The Christmas shutdown in any office would begin in the third week of December and work would not really resume till all teams were back in the first full week of January. All it takes is one team in a chain to be off and the whole chain has to wait to resume its production. It is not really reasonable to expect otherwise.

Phoss - F4SE have released information on their thread on how to reinstate that behaviour on the numpad keys.

I am getting a ton of crashes after I reach a certain level (around 50) and explore a lot or most of the map. It is the exact same problem I had with Skyrim (different PC back then) and Oblivion (different PC back then, too) and Fallout 3. Same engine, same problems. I guess this will never change. Bethesda never changes.

I'm curious as to exactly what it ruined? Are you meaning the removal of the ammo exploit or some other issues I have just not seen in my 300 hours of playing since the patch?

BTW, the patch definitely fixed the CDTs I was seeing when I entered certain zones, so I'm doubly confused at your statement.

a lot of people on console consider the removal of the exploits a bad thing. Not bashing consoles, but they don't have the ironically named "console commands" to grant themselves all the resources they want. Nothing wrong with that, but they don't realize those kinds of things are usually caused by another bug, and its the fixing of that bug that does it.

Gotta love Xmas game releases, though. "Hey guys, thanks for the billion dollars! Enjoy your bugs while we run off and spend it!"

I wish they fix all the bugs in the quests involving Bobbi in Goodneighbors. The entire encounter with her seems to be bugged beyond belief. I've had every, I mean every one of the bugs listed in the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Big_Dig, and then some. Long after I completed "The Big Dig", I still have a miscellaneous quest named "Talk to Bobbi". And when I go to the location indicated on the Pip-Boy, I only see a quest marker hanging in mid-air (!) instead of over Bobbi which I think it should be.

It has been nearly 2 months (release at Nov. 11th, makes it 2 months at Jan. 11th, 2016). And G.R.R. Martin is a bad example, since he has missed his second deadline for the new book with the end of 2015, and cannot tell when the book will be ready. This guy should not be used as shining example. I decided I will not buy his next book, but wait until the series is complete - if he ever manages to complete it.

I think it's more than that. Typically I won't buy a game at release, or even within a couple months cause I know there will be bugs and it will take some time to get them patched out. In fact, I think this is only the second time I bought at release. The other was deus ex invisible war. In hindsight, should have waited. And also a game that proves hype, anticipation, franchise, and marketing don't translate into big sales

It clearly stated on the packaging that my disc came in that there would only be one patch.

So, yep, that is it.

He already explained: they've removed the ability to use the numpad for hotkeys. Even though I didn't use them, why do that instead of fixing the broken strafe keys on workshop mode ?

While I do in fact believe patches are on their way, I can't think of a worse person to use to try to instill confidence in this than George R. R. Martin, the procrastination king.

Huh? what platform is this on? I'll double check my PC version, pretty sure they did not state that.

Edit: No, nothing mentioned on my PC version about only one patch being released. Unless the SSA indicates otherwise..
