Xbox One X Crashing in Fallout 76

Hi:

I have owned my Xbox One X for a couple of years with absolutely no operating problems, what-so-ever...

I recently purchased Fallout 76; installed it and played it. It has always been kind of cranky / unstable but relatively minor issues. Two nights ago, while playing, the screen went black and all controls froze. I had to manually turn the console off,
then back on. Success. Started playing again. Crash again. And again. Went to bed.

Last night I started the system, was able to log onto the game and play for about 5 minutes and another freeze and black screen. Went on line to find support. Did the hard start - turn off the console, unplug the power cord, wait 30 seconds. System restarted.
Loaded the game, crash!. Turned off the computer, unplugged power cord, waited 30 seconds, plugged in the power cord, held the bind button and eject button, pushed the start button, continued holding the bind and eject button for 10 seconds, heard two chime
sounds, released buttons. System reboots to screen allowing resetting the console. Choose the option that saves my games and apps. Reset process crashes. Start again. Process crashes. Start again. Get back to the screen allowing a reset. Start again.
Finally, I get back to the 'Home' page. Start Fallout 76. Play 5 minutes, crash. I go through the above process two more times... On the third process, success. I load Assassins Creed Odyssey to see if this issue is general of specific to one game. Play
ACO for ~ 30 minutes, no issues what-so-ever.

Questions:

1. Any way to know this is truly an issue created by Fallout 76?

2. If it is a Fallout 76 issue, will the new patch, out today, deal with it?

3. If it is not a Fallout 76 issue, and It continues to occur only with Fallout 76, what are my options?

4. All my games are digital and are stored on a separate 2TB disk. Could this be a problem? Am I better off keeping on-line games stored on the console?

5. Can I delete Fallout 76 and reinstall the game as a fresh new install without having to pay for it again? If 'yes' how?

FYI: While trying to reset, I would find error codes associated with each crash. I tried to research those but searches always returned 'no data'. In all cases, the code would start with E106. The last nine digits would vary between three sets of numbers
I don't have handy at the moment.

Thanks for any assistance you all can provide.

Xbox One X Fallout 76 Bundle Delivery

If I was to preorder the Xbox One X Fallout 76 bundle would the console be delivered separately from the game and therefore as soon as possible or would they be delivered at the same time and on the release date of Fallout 76?

 

hello

Hi Foxy,

This just means that the order is waiting to be fulfilled. Which means it's just waiting for it to be released/shipped.

Currently the
Xbox One X Robot White Special Edition Fallout 76 Bundle(1tb) shows that it will become available on 11/14/2018 since
it's a pre-order.

I hope this information helps

 

Hi u2jimbo,

Thanks for your post. To answer your questions and better find out if this is a known issue I recommended checking out the
Fallout 76 Community for detailed information on bugs like this one. If this is not purely based in Fallout 76, an option available is to update your console offline, loading the
latest, most stable operating system for the Xbox One consoles, here's the guide for it:

Xbox One Offline System Update. The 2TB Drive should not cause issues with the game, if it did, more games would probably be affected. Finally, yes, you have the ability to reinstall digitally downloaded games without repurchasing it, check out this article
on reinstalling games:
Reinstalling Digitally Downloaded Xbox One Games

I hope this information helps, thanks again!

 

Hi

Below is the link to the Bethesda patch notes for the game,

Bethesda.net

 

I installed the update and have had no difficulties since. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

Thanks for the link. I installed the patch and the game seems quite stabile after playing for a few hours. I appreciate your help!

 

Hi there was maintenance yesterday sorting a lot of bugs out. You need to update your game for them to come into effect. Last nights update was over 43 GB. I had some console closing down issues. I'm hoping hoping the patches will solve this.
