[2023] NEWS: Upcoming Hotfix & Tax Evasion Adjustment

about 1 year ago - /u/Ladydevann - Direct link

Hello everyone!

We're so glad you're having a blast in Atlantic City! Thank you all for your posts, streams, and videos, we love watching you experience the new locations, Expeditions, and rewards!

Friday at 10 am ET we're going to temporarily bring Fallout 76 offline on all Platforms to apply a hotfix. This will address stability and crashing issues for the new Expeditions, naked NPC's and the inability to activate certain things in the casino. (Note: If your Country/Region has gambling disabled due to local laws and regulations, this will NOT enable those activators.)This also addresses a background issue impacting activators in the world and an issue that is causing some players to be unable to join Expeditions since the update on December 5th. Overall, this will improve how the game feels in general. We expect our average length of downtime for this fix.

Lastly, today we are disabling the Quest Objective to Loot Evidence from the Overgrown in the Tax Evasion Atlantic City Expedition. This is temporary, and we will re-enable this in our next update on January 30th.

Thank you!

“address stability and crashing issues for the new Expeditions” I am really concerned about how this is worded. The game is crashing and freezing a lot OUTSIDE the expeditions too. Does the mean they intend only to address the issue in expeditions only? The entire game needs help not just the expeditions!

This addresses multiple crashes and instability coming out of the update, so it does address Expedition issues but the solution overall it will improve the stability of the outside of atlantic city.

I hope the fix The Most Sensational Game. My character keeps freezing when you teleport out at the end.

That is part of the hotfix!

Any chance we could also get Beer Steins fixed?

Multiple players have been reporting of the plans being unlearned with this update and the support has not been helpful in resolving this issue.

We're tracking these reports, a fix for these will not be in this hotfix, however. I imagine next patch!

Thanks. Any news on the missing items: Communist bunker and fences, robot and wooden stein displays?

Those will not be addressed Friday, but in the next update.

Is it broken? My buddy was running X01 the other day and was getting shredded like he wasn't wearing armor. I have a full set but never use it in favor of T51b

We're tracking this issue, it won't make it into the hotfix this friday so that means it'll likely be the next update.

Any fix incoming for the X-01 armor being bugged with radiation protection not being applied?

A fix is coming but it won't make it in for Friday unfortuantely

I don’t understand. We find something fun that affects no one and it’s almost immediately fixed. Stuff that truly needs to be addressed and fixed is overlooked for extended periods. Love/loved this game but it just feels like the life is being sucked out of it on purpose. If we want to blow through the scoreboard or grind XP so what? That’s on us what we wanna do or how fast we want to finish. Forcing to pay or slowly go through it isn’t it. Lack of material isn’t our problem and forcing dragging things out won’t help anyone.

I know it seems like that, but the Overgrown farming caused a lot of instability for everyone so it does impact the player base as a whole. After this, you'll see a lot better performance.

if it’s a hotfix why not right now or tomorrow morning? Why we gotta wait till Friday 😂😂 just call it an update at this point

Pushing a hotfix involves multiple teams and testing on all platforms and certifications. It would be great to push a button and apply it but it's more nuanced than that.
