Fallout 4 Patch 1.3: 5 Reasons We’re Excited

Settlement Attack Fix & Vault 81 Fix

The Fallout 4 1.3 patch is going to fix one of the game's most annoying bugs that I've encountered during my travels across the wasteland. 

Weeks ago, I started running into a problem that would wipe out everyone in my settlement. Long story short, I'd get a settlement is under attack prompt, show up, kill everyone, but the quest wouldn't complete. I'd leave and my settlement's population would be wiped out. This has happened over 25 times on 1.2 and it's frustrating. 

I found a workaround for the problem but it looks like the 1.3 patch will permanently fix the problem. The patch fixes an "issue with certain settlement attacks not generating properly." 

I've played close to 200 hours of Fallout 4 and this one still bothers me. So does this one.

I've made my displeasure with Vault 81 known. I've actively avoided it for several weeks waiting for the next update to arrive. 

While the 1.3 patch probably won't eliminate every single problem with Vault 81, it will squash one of the most vault's most annoying issues. 

I've already seen a ton of people voice their excitement about the remedy for an "issue where Vault 81 residents would not dismember correctly." It's a bit sadistic but it's an experience breaking bug that I had hoped Bethesda would fix at some point.
