So you're delaying the update while the rest of the world is enjoying it already, because.. mods?

Sound like a poor excuse :)

The ones who mod the game won't benefit from the update. And they don't have plans updating it.
The absolute majority who don't mod - are not getting the update.

What are they enjoying from this update? You said like it brings something new and exciting. I saw in the notes just a few items from the club being added in 2-3 quests and .... well that's it. And we didnt get actual confirmation if these items will be added for GOG which sucks. Initially the patch was delayed just before it came out on steam and it was mentioned the update for GOG wont unclude any Creation Club content even though these new items are actually added to the game - you don't need the online component (that was removed from the GOG version) to get them. You just loot them from places from what I read. I really hope they will bring the full patch uncluding these new quests/items

Totally agree, its just a minority using mods, and I doubt mod users could care less about anything contained within the update that their mod lists don't already cater for. Just give us the majority vanilla users the full update and anyone who wishes to use mods can save the existing installer backup files (which they probably already have), turn off the auto update (again, they probably already have), and continue to use the existing version until mod designers catch up, then they can update (if they even want to). No harm done to mod users and the rest of us can finally have the update were owed!...

No one is delaying anything "because of mods". The update simply isn't ready yet.
Read what the announcement said: That would allow us to choose whether to install the new update --or-- keep the old version for mod compatiblity.

and yet they say in the op announcement this too''TLDR: We are considering freezing our build of Fallout 4 to provide the modding community with the necessary time to make their mods compatible with the last update.'' so it is indeed being considered to be delayed because of mods possible a longer delay then what we'd get otherwise.

note would have double quoted if I knew how to do so instead of copy and pasting text

"freezing our build" means they keep the current version as a baseline and provide patches for those who want to update. The alternative would be -- how they usually handle it -- to remove the current version and REPLACE it with the new version.

(edit: duplicated post)

I like the idea of this, sounds reasonable and less chaotic than with the steam update. It would however be nice if in general GOG allowed prior versions of the offline installers to be accessible by people instead of just the most recent release. I am aware it is possible to roll back via gog galaxy but that cuts against the stated line by GOG that galaxy "would always be optional".

It should be a game of cat and mouse where you have to catch the version of the offline installer before the update else never be able to get it again!

Truth is there is not really a rational reason why prior offline installers can't be made available and odds are being a bethesda game, even with the best efforts of the modding community.... they probably did screw something up.

I like this, should be nice to have the actual game and the last one if you want to go back using GoG Galaxy.

Sorry for the Question, but where i can get the Offlinepatch?

You can download it from your library or GOG Galaxy.
But there is no offline patch from GOG that has the Next Gen update.

I bought fo4 on gog to play the updated version.
i have no interest in mods, I just want it to work so I can play the campaign.
let me install the patch and be done with it.

I recently bought Fallout 4 GOTY and downloaded the patch that goes with it, and my game is constantly crashing to the desktop. Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions?

I had the same issue with the GOTY edition bought from GOG - can't even enter the vault in the beginning, it crashes to desktop before I can get there.
FIXED by disabling weapon debris in options.

Thanks for the update
