Basically I downloaded fallout 4 ages ago from a particular site because I could and because I didn't think I would like it, now while I haven't played it since the division was released(got that game 3 days after launch) I would still like to play FO4 again as people keep talking and showing level status etc so could get me in the mood again, however

Since I downloaded the game it is offline so I can't update it and since fitting my 270x at the time it's not been playing smooth at all, just higher frames and so I been looking for the disc version of which I have seen for a tenner and my question basically is if I buy a disc copy will I have to start again or would it be able to pick up from the download if I delete but retain files?


Wouldn't bother me about missing any updates, I just don't want to go to the trouble of swapping cards to a nvidia that the Radeon replaced that actually was a weaker card but smoother play.
 
I am not really sure what you are asking? Will you lose your save games? Not if you backup the files.
 
Disc version will be older than the download version you have, so you won't see any performance gain. And it would need online activation anyway.
