PATCH VERSION:

Download sizes for this update will be approximately 5GB for consoles, and around 3GB for PC.

• PC: 1.0.3.10

As mentioned here, we’ve adjusted our schedule to allow for further testing on console versions of the game. PC maintenance is taking place on December 11, and we’re currently planning for console maintenance to begin on Thursday, December 13.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Here are a few of the major changes coming with today’s patch. Further below, you’ll find more details about each:

• C.A.M.P. Placement Improvements: You will now be notified when you log into a world and your current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by another player. If you stay in that world, you can place your C.A.M.P. back down for free. If you decide not to place your C.A.M.P. and join a new world where your space is unoccupied, it will be automatically placed in its original spot.
• SPECIAL Re-speccing: Upon reaching level 51, and every level thereafter, you’ll be able to choose whether you want to unlock a new Perk Card or reallocate one SPECIAL point.
• Push-to-Talk: We’ve implemented a push-to-talk hotkey for Voice Chat on PC so that you can decide when to speak up and when to remain silent.
• New PC Settings: We’ve added Field of View and Depth of Field sliders so that you can further customize your view in-game.
• 21:9 Resolution Support: On PC, you can catch an even wider view from those gorgeous Appalachian vistas, because Fallout 76 now supports monitors that use 21:9 aspect ratios.
