Starfield’s First Hotfix Addresses Several Quest-Blocking Bugs

A series of Starfield live-action shorts are on the way to help you get to grips with the Settled Systems, and we’ve got our first look at the incredible set design already. Helmed by videogame short filmmaker Stephen Ford, the live-action series of shorts will help you learn even more about Bethesda’s newest universe.

Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics has suffered a wave of layoffs just months after insisting that the ongoing staff hemorrhage at parent company Embracer Group wouldn't affect the new Tomb Raider game or the studio's collaboration with The Initiative on the Perfect Dark reboot. 

Tales of Arise's producer wants to see older games in the series localized for Western audiences, but knows it isn't that simple.

Exploring new locations in Starfield is equal parts intoxicating and rewarding, however, taking time to visit old haunts has its merits too. The game starts on Vectera, and if you are willing to invest some time into the Main Quest, you will quickly find yourself back there on the hunt for your comrade, Barret.

Starfield has a seemingly endless array of side quests for you to experience, however, engaging with the main quest isn’t something you should avoid. Similar to the likes of Skyrim, a lot of funky things start happening once you get to dabbling along the beaten path, and ‘Into The Unknown’ is the first quest to really mix things up.

Bethesda has released the first hotfix for Starfield that will take on «a few top issues» with the game, including potential quest blockers and stability and performance issues.

Starfield officially launched last week, and while the reaction has generally been fairly positive, as with most Bethesda games, there’s still some missing features to be added and a lot of bugs to clean up. Today, Bethesda provided a bit of an update and what they’re working on – perhaps most excitingly, while the AMD-partner game only launched with FSR, it seems DLSS support is already in the works. That’s welcome news that hopefully means players will have the full suite of upscaling options before the end of year (modders have tried to step in to provide DLSS support, but the results aren’t always that stable). In addition to that, players can look forward to a proper FOV slider, HDR calibration options, ultrawide monitor support, and more. Here’s a brief rundown of what you can expect…

This morning, popular game-engine creator Unity Software announced an update to its pricing and packaging plans, which will go into effect on January 1, 2024. The new pricing plan introduces a fee that activates and charges developers of high-performing games each time the title is installed by a user or player. The justification is that each time a game is installed, Unity Runtime is also installed. 

Starfield players are encountering yet another bug, but this time, it could be the death of you. 

FromSoftware has released a new patch for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, and though it isn’t the biggest, it does contain some much-needed buffs. Weapons like MA-J-200 RANSETSU-RF, LR-036 CURTIS, RF-024 TURNER, RF-025 SCUDDER, and more have increased attack power and reduced reload time.

Bethesda's space behemoth Starfield has now reached another new milestone in Steam concurrent players.
