'To make good, we'll be extending the B.E.T.A.

and not everyone will be able to enjoy the game tonight,' Bethesda said in a follow-up tweet five hours later. 'We know some users have been forced to redownload the #Fallout76 B.E.T.A. Bethesda are using their own client for this Fallout, after years of relying on Steam. Some players have reported that just opening the client, without even clicking any buttons, was enough to wipe it for them. Which defeated the whole point of preloading the beta. 'Do not click any buttons on the client for the time being,' Bethesda tweeted last night following the start of the PC beta, when many players reported finding a whopping great download grinding into life again. Given that Bethesda's singleplayer RPGs have a reputation for bugginess, this isn't the most auspicious start for their first crack at a multiplayer sandbox. This is a beta test, sure, but it's also something players have paid for by pre-ordering, an incentive Bethesda have stressed in marketing. Bethesda are adding four extra hours to Thursday's test period in apology, though that's not much considering some players won't have even finished downloading it again by Thursday. Bethesda have extended Fallout 76's pre-order beta test very slightly following a bug which deleted the client for many PC players who preloaded, making them download the whole 47GB shebang again.
