Hotfix for Inventory Theft Hack Incoming!

Hi all,

We’ve brought the PC version of Fallout 76 offline for maintenance to release a fix for an exploit. During this time, PC players will be unable to log into or play Fallout 76. We don’t currently have an end-time to share for today’s maintenance, but we will keep this thread updated so that you know as soon as you can jump back into Appalachia.

For more information on the exploit we are addressing on PC, please visit this thread in the forums.

Console versions of the game are not affected by the exploit and will not undergo maintenance. Additionally, we are not making any changes to the game other than addressing the exploit during today’s downtime.

Thank you!

Beth Statement on Inventory Theft Hack

So far, this is what they have posted! Will post more as I find more!

So far, we’ve seen this hit one of our users – luckily on an alt-account at the time

 

Hi everyone,

We are investigating reports of a PC-only exploit that could be abused by cheaters, which may have resulted in a few players losing items that their characters had equipped. We have been actively working toward a solution for this and have a fix that we are currently evaluating for release today.

While we’ve determined that only a small number of characters have been negatively affected, we are taking this very seriously and resolving this is currently our top priority.

We would like to apologize to those of you who were impacted by this exploit. We want to make this right, and we are currently looking into ways we may be able to compensate you. If you believe you have been affected, please let us know by submitting a ticket to our Customer Support team.

As mentioned above, this issue only affects PC, and we are currently planning to bring the PC version of the game offline today to release a fix. We will let you know as soon as we are ready to begin maintenance.

Thank you very much.
