The major disaster surrounding the next-gen update for Fallout 4, which amounts to a medium-sized disaster on both the gaming PC and the Steam Deck, makes the GOG version of the game, which, unlike the Steam version, has a simpler Rollback function is a real recommendation for the many troubled players of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic role-playing game.
GOG version can help
Like the website PC gamers reports, the GOG version may prove to be a boon for the players who are using a modded version of Fallout 4, as the rollback feature implemented in GOG takes the step back from the time of the very controversial next-gen update with just a few Clicks enabled. The Steam distribution platform, however, makes it very difficult for players.
- Download 22 gigabytes of repositories from SteamDB.
- Deleting any new files added by the update.
- Run Steam in offline mode to play Fallout 4 without updates.
GOG’s Galaxy client, on the other hand, makes downgrading to the previous version much easier. The rollback function can be activated via the settings menu next to the games button Manage installation → Configure Activate accordingly by deactivating automatic updates.

As can be seen from the example of Cyberpunk 2077, you can then select the desired version and roll the game back to it. A feature that would also look good on Steam and would certainly help the many troubled Fallout players.
Fallout 4 next-gen update: “Bethesda has thrown the community in the trash”
The next-gen update has turned into a real disaster not only on the gaming PC, but also on the handheld PC Steam Deck.

Bethesda itself has so far remained silent on the topic.
