Hopefully the fallout won't effect the game's public perception
hopefully it does
Well hey, at least it only deletes the game and not everything on your drive. Expected results: Squid is restarted. Actual results: All files are deleted on the machine.
In other bug news, in the game itself, your character's speed is tied to framerate, so looking up or down makes you faster https://streamable.com/0n7au
It's been how many fucking years and they still have shit tied to framerate and thus causing bugs?
16 years and six months.
Todd, you did it again.

It's been over a year since people had issues running Quake Champions when it was Beth.net exclusive, and now with an even higher-profile beta their shitty client still isn't fixed? Un-fucking-believable. I'm not up-to-speed on this whole situation, but I think the launcher has been around even longer; specifically when the Creation Kit for FO4 was released, which TBH further rubs salt into the wound. I'm not saying that this scenario isn't something to be upset about but calm down. Bethesda has said that FO76 is a unique case and that they don't guaranteed that every future game from them will be Beth.net exclusive, including DOOM Eternal. It could happen, sure, but nothing is confirmed at this point.
how did this happen in a MULTIPLAYER game?
This is how movement works in FFXI, which is an MMO and has a hard fps cap of 30 to prevent people moving faster than intended. Then again, FFXI is so old it was originally written in DirectX 7. The Gamebryo engine is roughly as old but Bethesda has been maintaining it for over a decade since, so they have no excuse. Also, on the topic of FFXI's movement speed tied to fps cap, years ago I heard a funny story when the first 120Hz TVs hit the Japanese market. An early adopter brought his TV home, plugged it into his PS2, and launched FFXI. The PS2 compensated for the TV's increased refresh rate by doubling the output framecount; this meant this guy was running FFXI at 60fps. Which meant he had a hardware speedhack that allowed him to move twice as fast as anyone else. He reported the issue to SquareEnix and promised not to exploit it while they fixed it (by forcing the cap to 30 no matter what the display asks for, or something).
yeah, I just went off the earliest thread I could find for it. Which is around fallout shelter
I never used Bethesdalauncher before this but didn't Quake Champions also have some super jank when it originally launched on this thing? Like I remember hearing horror stories of having to download the whole game again each small patch and update.
Preload files for the game still existed on my SSD a few weeks after I installed it. I installed it a couple days after it went free to play, so a few months ago
