After a bit of silence. developer Bethesda details the next two Fallout 76 updates before releasing a formal patch list.
You undoubtedly have seen the negative reception to Fallout 76, mostly with the slew of bugs and glitches the game has. It’s understandable to be upset. It was even more upsetting that Bethesda had been either non-committal or just straight up silent about the issues since.
Now, in a Reddit post, the Bethesda community manager spoke out to Fallout fans, apologizing for not being more considerate to the community and detailing the game’s next two updates.
We’re aiming to get you the patch notes for these updates quicker and will have them available for December 4th’s update later this week. Probably Thursday or Friday. We’d like to make these articles weekly to make sure you know what the studio is working on as it relates to issues you may be experiencing, quality of life requests you have, or new features they’re excited to share.
The first patch will come on December 4, Tuesday. This will be followed by another patch on December 11, also a Tuesday. But what exactly are they fixing in these patches? I’ve got that listed below.
December 4, 2018
- Increased Stash Limit to 600. Small improvement for now, to see if change doesn’t negatively affect game performance.
- Bosses will reliably drop intended loot.
- Cryolator will cause Chilled, Frosted, and Frozen effects on players, depending on how many times they get hit. The effect lasts 30 seconds.
- Fixed bug preventing over-encumbered deaths to not allow respawning.
- Fixed a bug where people were stuck in their power armor. Can still sometimes occur, however.
December 11, 2018
- Push-to-talk for PC.
- 21:9 resolution support for PC. Still no 4:5 support. Not that I’m bitter or anything.
- Field of View settings for PC.
- SPECIAL RESPEC. After level 50, players can choose between card packs or re-allocating a special stat.
- CAMP overlap. Your camp won’t be removed/stored if you log into a place that already had one in your spot. Instead, you’ll be notified of the overlap, and offered a chance to join a different server instead. If you agree for the overlap, moving your camp will be free.
- Bulldozer. You can scrap small trees, rocks, and other crap in your CAMP using the bulldozer, for easier, cleaner camp construction.
