'Fallout 4' Hit By Bug & Settlement Quest Crashes, Bethesda Bringing Out Patch Fix
Gamers of "Fallout 4" made some noise over Bethesda's forums to report a potentially game-breaking bug that was discovered while playing with one of the many quests available in the action-role playing game. According to VG 24/7, the bug is related to a settlement quest that leads players to the Monsignor Plaza. However, instead of moving forward, the game crashes to the desktop without any error message.
"I have to go to Monsignor but every time I go there it crashes straight to the desktop without any error message, there isn't one in the Event Viewer either," said one user in the report.
The user noticed that it seemed like the bug only happens when they reach a particular level of the game's story. The game-crashing issue isn't limited to any specific version as well as it turned out that users across other platforms like PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC have all encountered the bug.

Game Rant noted that one user reported that the issue cannot be solved through loading an earlier save or starting a new game. It does hold off the crash for a little longer but after testing, the user believes that the only permanent fix available for the issue will be through an official patch.
Fortunately, Bethesda isn't deaf to the reports. Gotta Be Mobile detailed that the publisher and developer will be working on the game's problems very soon. They have already confirmed the first big "Fallout 4" patch which is expected to be released sometime next week.
Fans are hoping that the upcoming patch will fix the bug and issues since Bethesda already released an earlier patch to address some of the problems found on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. However, it didn't resolve much and the problems continue to wave through.
Eurogamer noted that Bethesda provided a cursory overview of its plans to fix the hiccups of the game. "Our process for updating the game will include releasing a beta patch on Steam, followed by full release on PC, then release on the consoles," Bethesda said. The company added, "This process has worked well for us in the past and allows us to get more fixes out faster."
The team behind the game also stated to expect more updates. The patch will arrive for PC first and then followed by the consoles.
