health barThe game will be taken offline on all platforms to deploy an update that aims to improve overall stability. The update specifically addresses increased instability reports from XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 players. Servers have reopened after being closed. The game servers have been brought back online. A networking issue that caused Xbox players to experience more instances of lag, disconnects, and slow looting has been addressed. Various other stability improvements were made.

stat incrementPerfectly Preserved Pie consumed stat has been added to the Personal Terminal. Mr. Fuzzy Tokens collection stat has been added to the Personal Terminal.

crash on loadLatency issues are being investigated.
netcodeThe Cold Shoulder can now be dropped for other players after changing its skin. The Ad Victoriam, Face Breaker, and Cold Shoulder can be dropped for friends.
item droppingA new update has been released for the game. A change that was present in the Public Test Server (PTS) has now been included in the live update. The user has to equip their jetpack on every server they join, but it works fine on private servers. The user experiences spinning circles for loot on all servers. The game crashes frequently on Xbox Series, especially when receiving invites. The user is unable to craft paid content such as the Enclave Technician outfit. The user is missing Power Armor Paints. The game continues to crash every 30 minutes to an hour on PS5. The game crashed three times within the first 20 minutes of gameplay. The lighting in the game now appears worse, with prominent god rays, excessive bloom, and flat indoor lighting during certain weather conditions. Some textures, particularly larger rocks, now look worse than they did before the update. Server stability has decreased, leading to disconnections and frequent refresh circles when looting boxes. There is now occasional and very prominent pop-in of game elements, which was not observed before the update. While performance may have slightly improved overall, it still does not consistently reach 60fps, and the gain is not substantial. Axolotl display cases are no longer lighting up, although the game still registers that axolotls are present in them. The coffee shop neon sign, sold for 400 atoms, is not lighting up properly when placed and powered. A player received only 17 rounds of .45 ammunition as a rare reward from a Daily Op. One player received only a small amount of ammunition as a Daily Op reward, while teammates received rarer items like the orange hat and scorched paint. A player encountered two disturbed grave locations simultaneously, but could only complete one objective. A phantom map was not triggering the disturbed grave repeatable quest, instead triggering Lucky Strike. Fire damage over time effects on a reflective boss can override the visual indicator that the enemy is reflective, leading to players accidentally attacking it. Workbenches and storage boxes at Nuka-World On Tour are sometimes failing to load correctly or becoming invisible. Pieces of junk have been observed spinning uncontrollably in the middle of the world, even migrating to different locations like Nuka-World. Legendary effects on a Super Stimpack appeared to stack instead of replacing each other, resulting in a five-star weapon with multiple effects. VATS shots are occasionally not registering damage, even when the shot appears to connect with the enemy. Infestations are broken and the pint-sized Slasher boss is not spawning as frequently as it used to. Infestations are supposed to spawn every 10 to 20 minutes, but players are reporting they are not spawning frequently. Infestations are auto-clearing themselves, sometimes immediately after appearing or before players can interact with them. Infestations are not appearing on the map, making them difficult to find. The frequency of infestations has been decreased, making them harder to find and complete. Infestations are not appearing on public servers, forcing players to use private servers to complete them. Infestations are more likely to spawn on new servers, but are often already defeated or auto-cleared by the time players join. Infestations seem to work better and appear more regularly on private servers compared to public servers. Players are still experiencing frequent crashes after a supposed stability update. The PS5 version of the game is reportedly unplayable due to frequent crashes. Some players are experiencing game crashes every five minutes, even after an update intended to fix stability issues. VATS is not always working correctly, with players being popped out mid-run or experiencing issues with the crit button. The loot box loading icon is still present, indicating that not all visual bugs have been fixed. Players are encountering a spinning circle when trying to access containers, suggesting a loading issue. Players are experiencing three-second freezes in the game. A specific item is no longer listed at the weapon workbench, despite being craftable before. The pip boy is slow to respond. Looting is slow. Weapons switch unexpectedly in the wheel. Infestations are still not functioning correctly. The digging graves mechanic is still not right.
generalA case where Cryo effects could become stuck has been fixed.
status effectA maximum capacity of 1,000 Mr. Fuzzy Tokens has been set.
maximum capacityFast traveling on Infestation windows from the flyouts and Recent Activity list will now join the player instead of a fixed location.

crafting availabilityLoot taking too long to appear in containers and on enemy bodies is being investigated.
loot tableLoading times have become significantly longer, especially when fast traveling and when loading the player's camp. Longer loading times are being investigated. The loading times are very slow.
