Update 1.4 for Fallout 4 is currently in beta on Steam. The update encompasses support for upcoming add-ons and, as usual, game fixes, but also includes some new features which will allow players to add more character to their settlements.
- The oh-so-lovely sight of Super Mutant clutter, such as meat totems, meat bags, and meat carts
- Raider clutter, complete with poles, cages, and tents
- Abstract and portrait paintings, if you want to refine the Wasteland a bit
- A variety of new signs to put up
- And new metal and wood door variants
As for fixes, as usual there have been some overall stability and performance improvements. More specifically Bethesda has:
- Resolved the issue during ‘Rocket’s Red Glare’ where companions couldn’t be dismissed afterward
- Fixed the issue with the ‘Kremvh’s Tooth’ quest not spawning properly
- Settlements under attack will now display updated messages with attack results if the player doesn’t respond
- Fixed Rank 4 of the Demolition Expert Perk so it actually increases the area effect of explosives now
- Fixed the issue with the Sandman and Ninja Perks combining and then applying the incorrect damage bonus
- Fixed the keycards not spawning correctly in Vault 75
- Fixed the Pip-Boy getting stuck when in switching weapons quickly whilst wearing Power Armor and in first-person
- Fixed the persistent quicksave and autosave messages during loading screens
- Fixed the issue where scrapping large quantities of a single item would inadvertently scrap a legendary item
- Fixed it to where The Scribe can be properly assigned consecutive settlements
- Fixed vendors not properly exchanging caps after several transactions in a row
- On Xbox One, fixed the issue where updating with the latest patch would cause the Options settings to reset to default.
