Fallout 76 is the most accurate depiction of a post apocalyptic world ever. It's messed up, empty, everything falls apart, and the bugs have taken over. There's even a bug that deletes the entire game from your hard drive. Yes, seriously.

And apparently much of the code is copy-pasted straight from other Bethesda games as there's at least one bug from Fallout 4 (which can't be patched apparently, since the Fallout 4 patch is community made and doesn't work for the new game). And because the game operates mostly client-side there are ways to cheat that can't even be detected server-side. That hardly matters though, as there are no good reasons for playing with other people. The game isn't hard, sharing the already bad loot is a bad idea, and you can't really even kill other players in pvp.

There's a rumour going on that the next Elder Scrolls is going to use the same game engine which would be a disaster.

The deleting game from the hard drive was a beta thing, not sure what cheating you're talking about unless you mean using a third party program to break the cipher for the nukes. I've already teamed up with other players to do a couple of events, which can't be done alone. And this sounds like something that can only be done with other players https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/15/18096860/fallout-76-fissure-site-nuke-scorchbeast-queen-bethesda

Beth has already commented onthings that will get fixed in the patch that comes out monday. https://www.polygon.com/fallout/2018/11/18/18101261/fallout-76-latest-patch-pc-ps4-xbox-one

I've actually been enjoying playing FO76, I don't realize how much time goes by when I'm playing it lol. Have you played it yet?

Nope, still happening to people. The major difference to the beta is that now the game makes you do it yourself: "This application data is corrupt, please delete and redownload the application to the ps4." Over and over again. That IS a bug that causes the game to be deleted.

You can duplicate items. There's speed cheats. And during the beta there was a way to deal insta-lethal damage which they "fixed" by making you do no damage at all if you do "too much" now (which forces you to restart the game). Would you consider mods like the lockpick bar cheats?

There's a bug which makes you unable to add your friends (and if we're being technical here the game doesn't actually know who your friends are which means its actually a bug that makes you unable to add players).

It's good if they're fixing the game, but I can't even install it anymore. It keeps telling me to buy it, when I already have.

You've been super lucky if you haven't come across major issues.
 

I haven't paid much if any attention to PS4 issues,since I'm mainly playing on my xbox. So sorry if I seemed dismissive. The only issue I've encountered which is more of an annoyance is with holotapes not playing right away, but instead I have to go into the pipboy and play them that way to hear anything.
 

So,today marks the 20th anniversary for the PC game Half-life..in which Dr. Gordon Freeman who has a PhD in Theoretical Physics, from MIT saves ( ?) the world with a crow bar.
