It seems Redfall was gearing up to release a big update for May 2024 before Arkane Austin was suddenly shuttered by Xbox. Redfall got off to a very rough start when it first launched last year. The game released to overwhelmingly negative reviews and was quickly abandoned. Despite this, there were still plans to release Redfall DLC characters and updates to improve the experience.
Glitch Reveals Why One Big Starfield Element Was Left Out

While is littered with planets for players to explore, one unlucky fan may have just figured out why one common aspect of most natural landscapes is a strangely rare sight. One of the most agreed-upon criticisms of the sci-fi RPG is that while Bethesda tempted the community with thousands of worlds to discover, most of them are barren with nothing especially interesting to find. There are some rare exceptions, but many users were shocked to discover that most of the explorable planets are seemingly wastelands devoid of any bodies of water.
Now the community might know why that's the case based on a Reddit post by user B1G_L04f wherein they include a screenshot of what appears to be a river caught in a major glitch as it hovers above the natural landscape.
The player notes their surprise at the fact that they've managed to spend 150 hours in but has never encountered an instance of "" procedural generation this severe. It's unknown whether the glitch is permanent or simply a result of a bug causing the textures to load incorrectly, but it's certainly an extreme instance of the game incorrectly creating a landscape.
While it should be noted that bodies are water can be discovered in, most of the prominent ones are reserved for areas that players must travel to during key quests and missions. When users begin exploring off the beaten track and land on one of the thousand or so planets in the game, it's exceedingly rare to encounter any kind of water. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule but these are so uncommon that following 's launch, the community felt obliged to share pictures of their lakes and rivers as evidence that they do, in fact, exist.
The issue of water placement in may simply be an issue with the game's procedural generation system that cobbles together unique maps and terrain whenever players land on an unexplored planet. When implemented correctly, these mechanics can result in one-of-a-kind experiences that are unique to the user given the nearly infinite amount of possibilities that the engine could generate. Unfortunately, the downside to using this approach is that locations often lack a sense of curation and end up feeling hollow and empty, like many planets in.
Whether Bethesda aims to address these glitches with remains to be seen but the game's community is steadily becoming more frustrated with the developer's lack of communication. Aside from a general message at the end of 2023 promising that more content was on the way, very little has been done to build upon the RPG post-launch. Aside from a relatively minor update that simply added a photo mode and a few small quality-of-life improvements, players have overall been disappointed with how Bethesda has supported.

Why is it so difficult to play Fallout games on PC right now?
Like so many other people, after I finished the Fallout series on Amazon Prime, I wanted to jump into a Fallout game again. I lived in the Boston area — where Fallout 4 is set — in 2015, when that game was released, so I clocked in almost 70 hours there, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to boot up my favorite game in the series: Fallout: New Vegas.
