After a bug caused some PC users to accidentally delete the entire 50GB Fallout 76 beta client with the single click, Bethesda has decided to extend its test on Friday 2 November, which will now run from 5:00am – 2:00pm AEDT.
Bethesda warned users not to click any button on the PC client to avoid the issue. The publisher took responsibility for the error, and realising it will takes some players a long time to re-download the 50GB trial, announced the extension.
We know some users have been forced to redownload the #Fallout76 B.E.T.A. and not everyone will be able to enjoy the game tonight. To make good, we’ll be extending the B.E.T.A. for everyone on Thursday, November 1, 2pm to 11pm ET.
Thanks for your patience. #ExtendtheBeta

- Sunday 4 November: 8am-12pm AEDT
