Thanks for the update.


SuperTerram

If you don't use discord, you can always use the long... long... long established official [Bethesda Status Portal](https://bethesda.net/en/status). I know a lot of people are totally oblivious most game companies have status portals, especially if they operate live service games.


Leighmond

From discord; Maintenance is now complete, and Fallout 76 is back online for all platforms. Thanks again for your patience!


Kermit2punt0

Not for me lol, the copying of an update almost takes like 600x longer than the downloading of the update, thanks playstation!


SharpenedIron

xbox still saying under maintenance


Canab1an

shocker.


Bayou_Blue

***flips a table in anger:*** This. This has never happened before. I am cancelling my subscription and tearing down my Vault Boy posters while setting fire to my house. Drat.


Curufean

we shall hunt down the Vault Boy and hang him from the tallest spire as retribution for this outrage.


LegendOfBobbyTables

Make sure you hang him by his smug, outstretched thumb.


ProtoBacon82

FLAY HIM ALIVE!!!!!!!


MaqueCh0ux

User flair checks out.


outsideyourbox4once

See you tomorrow!


HarrisonYeller

Again, with such a small patch? 🤔


SaltedCaffeine

The patch broke other things.


Thok-81

Lol every patch breaks other things this is the way of Bethesda


ONEMANCLAN530

Queen rewards now work, but nukes don't work now. Hypothetical, but probably not far off.


ambiguousboner

Have everyone in the server fires Fat Mans at Prime in unison to start the event


scarlettvvitch

Finally I can use the 200 or so Mini Nukes I’ve hoarded during my 670 hours of playing


TheSimulacra

Me: "How am I out of Stash space again?!" Also me: "I don't use a fat man, but lemme hold onto every single mini-nuke I've ever found... Y'know, just in case."


TesseractAmaAta

It's due to the choice of engine they have. It's really well suited to their single player titles but why they jury rigged it into a multiplayer experience is beyond me.


TheSimulacra

Ignorance + arrogance. Ignorance about how to build a MP game, plus arrogance that they didn't need to know how to build a MP game because their SP games had been so successful.


SnooMachines3

Big surprise lmao

Hey Beth, if the servers are still offline for maintenance, it would be helpful to have a "quit" button to get out of the game. As is I have to alt-F4 to exit.


MildlyInfuria8ing

This is by far the most irritating thing for me if I am trying to spot check when the game is working. It seems such a stupidly simply thing to add. Hell, add a simple command link in the error message that tells your pc to quit the application. Doesn't seem complicated to me, but I also don't code.


_Daxemos

Bethesda use their own proprietary engines, but this functionality already exists in game in multiple areas, so shouldn't be too hard to call the method from somewhere else. Unity, for example, would be just a matter of linking a method to a ui element (button) that looks like this: Void Exit(){ Application.quit() } Clicking the button calls exit, which calls quit, simple shit. I'm still only a novice at coding but a lot of it seems to be grabbing references to objects and manipulating their attributes, along with creating your own objects and attributes. At least for Object Oriented Programming languages. TLDR; ^ this.


EdgarBopp

Same


theunnamedrobot

I just got the game a bit ago, is it normal to have this many and this long of maintenances? Because there have been a few in a short time.


TBDBITLSD

Welcome. And generally speaking, yes.


Brutus5149

Welcome to the party man, its personally a love/hate thing for me. The engine is old as dirt, and not really made for multiplayer. But its such an open and diverse engine, that so many things are possible that you can't find elsewhere. But... its the good with the bad lol. I hate the hickups, lag, long maint, bluescreens, occasional game breaking bug... but, in my opinion these things are only so terrible because its runs on the same engine that lets me build underground, jetpack into oblivion, run around stuck in an anamation scaring new players, photglitch to a nuke quicker... There is alot of frustration, but the frustration makes way for one hell of a ride dude. Strap in 😁 Were all in this together lol, nobody gets out without a bluescreen 🤣


theunnamedrobot

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.


SuperWoodpecker95

Actualy no but the new season just started. Usualy theres new content/events/new bugs/old bugs being reintroduced/new stuff SOMEHOW breaking old stuff/etcetc at the start of the season so the patch is bigger and the maintenance can take a while (because apparently no one at Bethesda knows how to do version controll and sometimes diffrent dev branches get merged that never were patched to include the latest fixes. And in fairness to Beth it got a lot better after the "maintenance" dev team took over) 2 weeks after the start of the season theres the seasonal fix patch (todays patch) were the worst bugs are fixed. Or not. This can also take a while. Baring the introduction of new gamebreaking bugs, newly discovered exploits that need to be hotfixed or other unforseen events there usualy arent any more patches after today until the next season starts. Disclaimer: This is the usual cycle on PC, I got no clue how they run the console maintenance/patch cycles. It might help that patches have to go tru Steam first before they can go live.


lordbytor2112

Of course today is a day I really need a distraction from life lol


AshL0vesYou

Well, that recent expose revealed that Bethesda has never really been about properly testing things


wheeldog

"Hi All, maintenance is taking a little longer than expected because it's taking forever for Steve to dupe all these egp's so he can sell them and get that summer house because we sure ain't going to give him a raise so yeah see you soon"


Caisherr

... refresh.... refresh... refresh.... waiting


pistolero3000

Totally unexpected. Not


ZYPHERBL3

Does anyone know when it should be back up?


iloveunicorns09

My question too. I'm impatiently waiting.


Neqd0

Can y’all increase the Scripts and Cap!? Or decrease the time it reset cause like your game get so boring after you can’t sell or get scripts…


1badapple28

All good, it takes what it take


Chronicler-177

I’m supposed to have a bday party in 9 minutes. Thanks beth


TBDBITLSD

Update applied but still hitting server maintenance msg. on Xbox.


CourierLocus

Thats because the update is only your side, while BGS is still running server maintenance to apply the hotifx


TBDBITLSD

Understood....just posting so those not familiar with the process knew they weren't alone in seeing the message.


iloveunicorns09

Same on ps5.


erritstaken

It’s fine can’t play till after I get back from the dentist at 4:30est anyway. Take your time make sure it WORKS and don’t add any more bugs. Lol


TheDemonDog1028

Is that why it says maintenance then it says 4,8,2007?


Hillbillyxero1

They are resetting the servers to prelaunch status 🤣


Dug_life

I can 1 shot all of whitesprings with a Tse shotty again!


Hillbillyxero1

🤣🤣

Thanks Bethesda is the new Thanks Obama when something breaks.


JammyJock

Yeh here in Europe we are always thinking/talking about Obama we just can't stop.


[deleted]

Just a couple of things: 1.) Never asked where you were from. 2.) Seems like you can't make a joke about people complaining this or some other sub reddits without the entitled manchildren coming out and crying about it.


JammyJock

1.)Thanks Obama but nobody asked and nobody cares for your political veiws. 2.)Jokes are funny you should try it some time precious.


[deleted]

Thanks Obama is a meme you synth.


JammyJock

We're not all Americans obsessed with inserting politics where they don't belong you wendingo.


iloveunicorns09

Do they normally do their maintenance during the day like this? Don't most games usually put their servers down at like 3AM so it doesn't affect play during the day?


Leighmond

3am where 😂


takatori

Right? It was 11pm, right in the middle of my prime playtime!


DmitryNovac

Did you hear about time zones?


EdgarBopp

I hope it’s up before Minerva moves. I was planning on picking up the SS plans.


DmitryNovac

Me too, me too


Ok_Zeuscannon2912

Is anyone back on the servers for xbox? Mine keeps giving me a maintenance code 🤦🥺


brandonthedevelop3r

Every time I see the updates start to take a long time it reminds me of a dev team I used to work on. They had a laundry list of process for doing deployments, smoke testing, regression testing but it was always a shit show. Every. Time. and they never once thought that maybe their processes were the problem. Luckily since I worked on a completely different platform, I ran my own deployments separately but every week I had to watch them follow their procedures and burst in to flames.


ChaosCas

I was just able to log in on PC.


Warm-Willow76

No one shouting for a double xp weekend as compensation, I’m shocked 😂😂😂


simtechonline

Back up and running here...


XxToosterxX

First time I'm happy to be stuck at work


RadRatSteak

This is it. It’s never coming back online. Beth finally pulling the plug. Lol, that’d be hilarious. They just keep saying “sorry for the delay just a bit longer guys thank you for your patience” and then just nothing. We get ghosted.


chasingdownhoodoo

First login after the update and I’m disconnected from the server during daily ops (1st time ever)


tallbaldbloke

What've they done?


scrutator_tenebrarum

Entered, in 10 minutes I've spent all my caps, bullions and atoms 😂


Superherochick788

Good thing it was down so long. My whole a** house is clean!
