Bethesda said last Wednesday that the first Fallout 4 patch would be released to Steam this week, and right on schedule (and a little bit quicker than I expected), here it is.
The patch, technically Beta Update 1.2.33, makes the following changes:
New Features
- Number pad keys can now be used for remapping
- Remapping Activate now works on Quick Container
Fixes
- General memory and stability improvements
- Fixed issue where equipped weapons become locked after completing Reunions
- Fixed issue with When Freedom Calls where the quest would not complete
- During Confidence Man, fixed issue where player's health would continuously regenerate
- Fixed crash related to jumping into water and reloading saved games
- Fixed issue where Launcher would not save God Rays Quality setting properly
Because it's a beta, Bethesda recommends (and so do I) that you back up your saves before updating. You'll also need to be opted in to the beta program in order to access it: Right-click on Fallout 4 in your Steam library, select Settings, then Betas, and then choose "Beta Update" from the drop-down menu. Then, patience while the wheels turn; when the process is complete, the game will appear as Fallout 4 [beta] in your library, and the world will be your oyster.
