The final patch for Fallout 76 has arrived! This patch is only for the PC version. Even though it is a very small patch, only 15 MB for most cases - But this hotfix patch did bring some changes and they are more than welcome. Why?

Because they finally fixed some annoying issues. Such as the game client crashing as soon you hit the exit button. Yes, they managed to fix that bug. This is was one of the most annoying bugs and most players had to close the game manually from task manager.

The Game-play oriented fix

The hotfix also managed to kill a bug or exploit that could allow items to be duplicated. This is good news as well because most of the players talk about exploits, all the time. Exploits are probably the thing players trade most among each other.

There was another issue with the high damage and explosive weapons, because of the bug enemies were not taking any damage and even when they took damage, they healed right after. This happened quite a lot, players fired missiles and the enemy completely ignored the damage. That was NOT good.

The other thing that this patch fixed was a lot of out of date clients were able to connect to the server, they can’t anymore. Also, they added Korean language support, so if you have your language set as Korean and you get a bigger update than 15 MB then you already know why.


Here is the Official Patch Note:
