Fallout 76didn’t have the smoothest launch, to put it mildly.Fallout 76was panned by critics and fans alike for a wide variety of issues, though Bethesda has made great efforts to turn things around since then. VariousFallout 76updates have been released over the years to address feedback, adding NPCs, adjusting the economy, and making the game a generally more stable experience for those playing it. However,Fallout 76has once again found itself in trouble, with users reporting frequent server disconnects.
TheFallout 76community is currently struggling with frequent server disconnects, and it’s not clear exactly what’s causing the problem, though one theory is that it’s caused by people abusing the item duplication glitch. However, even those who useFallout 76private serversare having trouble, voicing their discontent in online spaces like Reddit. To make matters worse, it seemsFallout 76developers have only really commented on the server disconnect issues on Discord, meaning most players have missed the message, making them even more frustrated at the entire situation.

Bethesda will undoubtedly fix theFallout 76server issues eventually, but hopefully the fix comes sooner rather than later. SomeFallout 76fans are even calling for a boycott of theFallout 1st subscription serviceto protest the ongoing server issues, so the sooner a fix is implemented the better.
While fixingFallout 76’s server problems may be the highest on many fans' list, there are other things coming to the game to look forward to in the months ahead. Bethesda has teased thatFallout 76has a new feature in the works for later this year, though it’s unclear exactly what that feature is at the time of this writing. Thissignificant new feature forFallout 76is expected to come in the game’s September update, so fans should be able to expect more concrete details sooner rather than later.
Fallout 76players also have another major expansion to look forward to as well. As announced at Xbox’s E3 2021 event,Fallout 76is getting a Pittsburgh expansion, returning players to The Pitt area fromFallout 3’s DLC. If Bethesda is able to deliver a compelling experience with The Pitt and getFallout 76’s server issues under control, it will be interesting to see if it’s able to further improve public perception of the game.
WhileFallout 76fans wait for new updates, they can continue to try to play the game in its current state, though they should keep in mind that they may have to deal with server connectivity issues during their play sessions.
Fallout 76is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
