How to rollback Fallout 4 Next Gen update

The new Fallout 4 update isn’t working properly for many players, and everyone’s looking for a way to rollback the update as soon as possible.

The Fallout 4 next gen update isn’t compatible with the Script Extender so you can’t use mods with it. That aside, the next gen update for this open-world game contains minor tweaks to the existing codebase which also causes inconsistencies with any mods that you’re currently using.

Before you try to downgrade to an older Fallout 4 version, it’s worth knowing that this method works only if you have a copy of the game on Steam. Downgrading is not available on consoles at this point it time.

That said, here’s how you can rollback your Fallout 4 to an older version of the game.

How to downgrade your Fallout 4 game to version 1.10.63

As suggested by u/SnooMarzipans253 on Reddit, here’s how you can downgrade your Fallout 4 version on Steam:

1. Access the Steam console by going to this link in your browser: steam://open/console
2. On this link, paste the following codes to download the older Fallout 4 files that you need to rollback the update:
   • download_depot 377160 377161 7497069378349273908 – Fallout Content a
   • download_depot 377160 377163 5819088023757897745 – Fallout Content b
   • download_depot 377160 377162 5847529232406005096 – Fallout.exe
   • download_depot 377160 377164 2178106366609958945 – Fallout English
3. Create a new folder and then make your way to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content where you will find all the depot files. Do note that the path might differ based on the drive you’ve installed Steam on.
4. Copy all the depot files and paste them into the new folder that you just created. You might be prompted to replace a few files, so just replace them as you proceed.
5. Once you’ve completed the entire process, head over to the location where you’ve installed Fallout 4, and then delete everything in the folder.
6. Now, copy all the depot files from the new folder, and place them in the Fallout 4 folder.
7. In case you’re using any Creation Club mod, head to the data folder and delete all the files that start with CC.
8. In case you had DLCs, you can use the following commands to download them alongside the other depot files:
   • download_depot 377160 435870 1691678129192680960 – Automatron
   • download_depot 377160 435871 5106118861901111234 – Automatron English

   • download_depot 377160 393895 7677765994120765493 – Nuka World English

If you’ve done this correctly, whenever you launch the game next, you should see the patch number show up as 1.10.63 in the bottom right corner of your game on the launch screen.

That concludes everything that you need to know about downgrading your Fallout 4 files to an older version. After you’ve concluded the Fallout 4 rollback, you can use all your favorite mods with Fallout 4 Script Extender once again.
