The Fallout 76 beta has hit a nasty stumbling block, after users encountered a troublesome bug that deletes the entire 50GB client. Bethesda has said it's aware of the problem, and has now extended the beta as a result.
Players now get an extra four hours in Fallout 76's post-apocalyptic open world tomorrow, with the beta running 8.00pm GMT on November 1 – 1.00am on November 2.
Bethesda's initial post warned players 'not to click any buttons on the client for the time being,' and later said that if you saw the progress bar on screen, simply allow it to continue redownloading the client.
So, not the greatest start to the Fallout 76 beta, but at least Bethesda has been quick to jump on the problem and give an extension.
Fallout 76 arrives on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on November 14.
PC #Fallout76 B.E.T.A. players: We are aware of an issue with the client and are investigating. Do not click any buttons on the client for the time being.

We know some users have been forced to redownload the #Fallout76 B.E.T.A. and not everyone will be able to enjoy the game tonight. To make good, we’ll be extending the B.E.T.A. for everyone on Thursday, November 1, 2pm to 11pm ET.
Thanks for your patience. #ExtendtheBeta
