Fallout 4 patch 1.5.4 live on PC ahead of schedule

It was only in beta the other day and expected to be live next week, but patch 1.5.4 for Fallout 4 has been rolled out to everybody on Steam today. Apparently the focus is “features enhancements and bug fixes” for mods (though as it’s a new release, it’ll temporarily break the Fallout 4 Script Extender) and fixes for “weapon and armor racks” from the Contraptions DLC.

This changelog probably looks quite familiar if you read our recent story about the 1.5.4 patch being in beta, but here it is again. Under “known issues”, Bethesda list “The Add Ons menu is erroneously displaying Vault Tec Workshop and Nuka-World as Available.”

NEW FEATURES

• Increased space for Mod text on Mod details page for improved readability
• Load Order menu now displays text about each Mod when highlighted
• Most Popular filter now toggles between Daily, Weekly and All Time (defaults to Daily)
• Reporting categories added when reporting a mod
• Load Order menu displays options to Disable or Delete All Mods
• Count of ratings now appears on Mod details page

FIXES

• General stability and performance improvements
• Fixed issue with weapons and armor losing mods and Legendary status when removed from armor and weapon racks (Contraptions)
• Improved stability when reinitializing with certain mods loaded
• Mod menu will check available space before starting mod downloads
• Fixed issue with certain mods not downloading properly
• Fixed issue with certain mods not appearing properly in the Load Order menu
