Beta update 1.2.33 is now available for players of the PC version of "Fallout 4."
Steam announced on its website on Monday, Nov. 23 that those who opted for beta updates can now try the new version, 1.2.33. The features that are recently released will let gamers use the number pad keys for remapping. Also included in this update is that Remapping Activate can now work with Quick Container.
At the same time, bug fixes were also implemented. Steam improved the general memory and stability. The issues about "When Freedom Calls" and equipped weapons being locked after completing "Reunions" were also fixed. Unlike before, the player's health will not continuously regenerate during "Confidence Man." The problems about the Launcher not saving the settings of "God Rays Quality" properly and the crash related to jumping into water and reloading saved games will not be encountered anymore.
Players can get the beta by logging into Steam then right-clicking "Fallout 4" in the Library. After clicking Settings, they should select Betas, and when the drop down menu appears, they should choose Beta Update. After clicking OK, "Fallout 4" should start updating. "Fallout 4" will now become "Fallout 4" [beta] in the Steam's library.
According to Steam, the process can also be undone if players no longer want to run the beta. They only need to re-do the steps above, then by selecting NONE from the drop down options they will be opted out of all beta programs.
The beta update is currently in progress. Developers suggested that before opting out, backing up the saved games should be done first. Steam community is accepting feedback and suggestions in its beta forums.
The popularity of "Fallout 4" has continued to increase worldwide since Bethesda released it on Nov. 10. A total of 12 million copies were shipped on the launch day itself, according to earlier reports.
"Bethesda has taken a serious effort on revamping and tweaking a lot of the issues in past games and on improving the things that make Fallout 4 shine brighter than a nuclear blast," Sheldon Jones of Gamespresso said.
