Bethesda hat Patch 1.3 zu Fallout 4 offiziell veröffentlicht. Bei der PC-Version wird dieser automatisch heruntergeladen – Besitzer einer Konsole müssen sich hingegen noch ein wenig in Geduld üben.
Vor rund zwei Wochen hat Bethesda einen Beta-Patch zu Fallout 4 veröffentlicht – nun steht die offizielle Version zum Download bereit. Allerdings müssen sich PlayStation 4- und Xbox One-Spieler noch ein wenig gedulden, denn laut Bethesda erscheint der Patch erst Ende der Woche für Konsolen. Bei Besitzern der PC-Version sollte das Update hingegen ab sofort automatisch heruntergeladen werden.
Neben zahlreichen Bugfixes dürfen sich Fallout 4-Spieler auf einige Neuerungen freuen. PC-exklusiv erscheint die neue Ambient Occlusion-Einstellung HBAO+. Weiterhin hat Bethesda die allgemeine Stabilität verbessert, sodass die Framerate in Zukunft etwas höher ausfallen sollte.
Neben unzähligen Gameplay-Verbesserungen hat das Entwicklerteam Quest-Fehler und Probleme im Zusammenhang mit dem Workshop entfernt beziehungsweise überarbeitet. Die vollständigen Patchnotes findet ihr unterhalb dieser Meldung.
