Fallout 76 players are reporting a variety of problems that have been introduced following the latest patch, including significant issues that afflict Fallout 1st subscriber players.
A bug roundup thread on Reddit explains that players believe that “newly created” worlds within Fallout 76 are not new, but re-purposed server instances. While yet to be confirmed by Bethesda, players have come to this conclusion due to these servers containing dead NPCs and junk that has already been looted.
