Fallout 76 Down for Server Maintenance to Prep for Patch Roll Out This September 17

Bethesda wants people to take a break from their vaults, as the Fallout 76 servers have been taken down temporarily and this is to roll out a patch on all platforms, which should include fixes.

UPDATE: Here are the patch notes for today’s hotfxi!

Players can expect the Fallout 76 servers to be down starting:

September 17, 9 am CT/10 am ET/7 am PT/10 pm HKT

No duration has been specified, but usually it takes at least 2-4 hours and sometimes even longer before the servers are back up. Thankfully, Bethesda does keep players updated when the server outage will take longer than usual.

While the patch notes aren’t live yet, we are expecting some fixes related to the following:

• Compass being blank issue on Power Armor
• Powerhouse quest bug
• Loot disappearing bug
• Various crashing issues (mostly affecting PlayStation/Xbox)

That’s not the full list of bugs, but that’s the ones we can list of the top of our heads. Of course, we’re also expecting fixes related to the Milepost Zero content drop released earlier this month.

Once the full patch notes are out, we’ll provide a link to it within the article. If anything changes regarding the server downtime, we’ll update the article with the info as well.
