An issue with the Microsoft Store version of Fallout 76 prevents the game from updating or even starting in some cases.
•Fallout 76 is running into several issues on PCs.
•Specifically, the problems appear when trying to run the Microsoft Store version of Fallout 76.
•The Microsoft Store is failing to update the game and, in some cases, prevents the game from starting at all.
•Bethesda has confirmed the issue and is working with Microsoft on a fix.
Those looking to play Fallout 76 on their PC may have to wait for a bit. Bethesda recently confirmed an issue related to the Microsoft Store that prevents the game's most recent update from installing. Several reports on Reddit and around the web show the game failing to update, and in some cases failing to start at all.
Only the Microsoft Store version of Fallout 76 is affected by these issues. The installation bug appears for those that own the game as well as those that have access to it through PC Game Pass, according to users on Reddit (note that the Microsoft Store views people with PC Game Pass as owning the game). The Steam version of the game is unaffected.
The installation issue has left many gamers frustrated, understandably so. The Microsoft Store has had a rocky reputation for years. Many PC gamers avoid it entirely. The fact that Microsoft now owns Bethesda, which makes Fallout 76, doesn't help the situation.
It's not rare for PC games to have bugs. Titles are massive, as are updates. Making sure that games work across the wide range of systems in use is a difficult task as well. But this most recent issue isn't related to general game development, at least from what I see. The Steam version of Fallout 76 doesn't have the same problem. The Microsoft Store seems to be the real issue here.
