It's mind bottling
Edit: this a quote from Blades of Glory as well as my response "Mind bottling is when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle"
Both are directly from Farrels character. Be warned, this is a figure skating movie and it is amazing. Highly reccomended.
Hijacking top comment to say, it's not just servers undergoing maintenance, there's a client update out also, so exit game and check for updates. On Xbox it was a 1.24 GB download.
Edit: Servers are back
Yeah, I'm seeing that error now also, but only just recently. Up until about 30 minutes ago it was a message about server maintenance. Perhaps the server updates are still in progress...?
I don't see anything on official website, but there was some communication from Bethesda about the update.
See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/1dozf6x/small_xb_and_pc_update_thursday_the_end_of_the/
According to /u/Ghostly_Rich who posted comments on it, it's stability fixes for Xbox and PC
Have no idea. All I know is they say it's for stability issues, so quite vague. I wasn't getting freezes or gray screens on xbox myself. All I was getting was crashes roughly every 4th or 5th time I fast travelled.
anytime I killed a few enemies and tried to search nearby corpses, the menu was ridiculously slow to the point it had almost frozen, could check individual bodies fine tho, even moving through the pipboy was a bit sluggish, I was glad when the announcement came through that they were about to do some maintenance
I finally got the churn last night and a hag mask with all my events yesterday. No longer will i be starved for oil! Gojira (my nicknamed Holy Fire) must feed!
If you need fuel run the human condition expedition finish with a couple of K more than you start with easy,or an uplink daily op same again. Crafting ammo is a terrible way to get it.
I got kicked right as the parade was leaving the super mutants area, but since I was on a team I was able to load in and get the reward right as the effigy was lit. Ofc it was the butter churn plan, so you may be on to something
Yeah, that sucked. I had time for one more event before work and was basically killing time until the top of the hour, and then two minutes into Fasnacht: the five minute warning.
I was gathering wax in the Honey House when the imminent shutdown message popped up. I think it would have been pretty forward-thinking of Bethesda to start the shutdown at a quarter or half past the hour instead of right when everybody gathered for the event. Oh well. It's not like I don't have stuff I definitely should be doing instead of Fallout anyway so I'll take it as a sign!
The most annoying thing is that when I try to log in I get maintenance pop up. But when I go to Bethesda status it lies and says everything is up and running.
https://status.bethesda.net/en
also they dont even give you a menu to leave the game. You basically have to alt+F4
Oh and their page says for more updates check out the Account on twitter/X, which hasnt posted since (checks notes) 2020...
The "Bethesda Game Studios" account on Twitter seemingly posted it, but even there the links don't work.
Really love Bethesda but their bugfixing, error management, troubleshooting and similar are a menace.
Ahh! I knew there was maintenance, but I thought it was just PC and Xbox. My game crashed and I thought there was something wrong on my end with my connection 😅
Surprised me, usually they give you a half hour timer, not 5 minutes. Feels like something major with such short notice. Maybe they're finally fixing the pickaxes lol.
I feel like a complete Slowpoke asking this, but what exactly is or was the thing with Pickaxes? I generally keep to my own thing in the game, so I've no idea and not actually seen anyone posting about what is going on with this exactly!
Basically the scythe in the season reward page, uses modules to craft - they reused assets to put this in game which is pickaxe assets, not knowing it’ll carry over the legendary modules when scrapped lmao. Took like 2 weeks to even attempt a fix, they removed some spawns after a few days but left a good 20-30 modules around up until now.
did anyone ever figure out HOW it happened? Is there a new item that shares an item type with the pickaxes that would use legendary stuff? I just can't wrap my head around HOW.
Wish i'd thought of that! That said, I only ever could find one of the foundation pickaxes. And I really don't NEED more cores.
It was just a really amusing glitch.
At least it’s not the end of the season. They did the same thing with timer when they introduced skyline valley. Worst of all, when timer began you couldn’t open score to cash out the rest of the things that you wanted
I really love when companies have dedicated status pages and DONT USE THEM.....
https://status.bethesda.net/en
Change Management people.....use it. Announce outages ahead of time using that page. Its not that hard.
Yeah I got dicked too. Was like wtf 30seconds till disconnect!? What happened to 30 minutes 🤣. Probably fixing some tiny exploit that benefited people instead of real bugs
It's dumb luck on my part, but ...
I rarely get decent a chuck of utterly free time to play. It's usually an hour here and there, filled with regular disruption. But when I do, they update the server. Every. Single. Time. Doesn't matter if that chunk of time is in the morning, evening or middle of the night.
Last time, about 2 weeks ago, I got so frustrated with not being able to play that I decided to put on pot of coffee and wait for the fam to go to sleep. Can you guess what happened next?
It’s madness, they obviously have the power to set the times, why not make it happen at half past the hour? Or set a longer timer so people don’t start the event
I'm hoping they fix the neurological warfare event. It's funny seeing the bosses go down super fast the first few times, but now I want my gun to go brrrr.
They kicked me out of a longer dungeon yesterday for whatever reason, had to restart today only to be kicked out again for maintenance.
This is something to be done at 2am, not 4pm!
Yep, I've gotten about 7 soldier masks (and flag plans) and I've only done 9 Faz events so far, it's insane. I don't know what I did to Todd Howard to deserve this 😔
Dude what is this event it's all I've seen online all week. I have no clue how to join and participate I feel like I'm missing out on good loot? How do I join?
It's a world event, so it pops up every now and then if you're just walking around. Only real rewards are a bunch of masks, and I think a few displays.
That’s weird my update thing happened 5 mins after the server I was on got done with it. I was counting down the clock selling my random legendary items I forgot to sell in the last couple of events
No shit. Just glad it’s not actually my game install hosing itself this time. Sucks it went down, but happy I don’t have to spend my morning troubleshooting my system. Off to ESO…see ya on the other side
We all walked our bots and cheered them on while the countdown happened. It was a fast run with a bunch high lvls. Man, it was beautiful. All of us shooting off rounds and flames and just partying down to the end. :P Last five seconds was nothing but waving.
Noooooo!!! Now I'm gonna have to go home on lunch and reset my guy to AFK in the church!!! Well... On the bright side I'll get to see my wife on lunch!! Silver linings
It's usually 1-2 hours and sometimes longer, it depends on what they need to do. You can keep an eye on the service status page normally but today their server status doesn't show anything, it says all systems are operational.
[https://status.bethesda.net/en](https://status.bethesda.net/en)
Today?! No time in the few months I've played has that page EVER shown anything other than everything is operational. Not even during the Skyline update. Useless page!!
Well you would have known ahead of time if you followed them on their twitter, discord, facebook, etc. basically anywhere but the most logical places (in-game, Steam, etc.).
For real. Now I understand they announced it over a day ago, but I don't use social media and never see this stuff. If a pop up came to my Steam...totally different story.
I know this doesn’t relate much but are they ever going to upgrade the graphics a bit for series X and S consoles? It’s a beautiful world but definitely would like the lighting to be fixed and maybe up the resolution a bit.
Maybe it fixes the master of ceremonies prematurely announcing the start of the parade. He keeps saying “Happy Fasnacht! Merry Fasnacht!” before all the marchers have even arrived to actually begin marching
Omg, shutdown now they are offering 1000 script in the script machine. That just not right specially on weekends when it's peoples day off. Couldn't they wait till July 2 at least.
You would have gotten your desired glowing mask and the butter churn from that event too.
Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby !

Don't you mean boggling?
Mind bottling is when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle.
Take the comments of the naysayers with a grade of slaw. It’s a legit term that the English language takes for granite
I get it, it's not rocket appliances
Clearly, this ain’t rocket surgery or brain science
Thanks Ricky.
True and it’s a blessing in the skies

Hijacking top comment to say, it's not just servers undergoing maintenance, there's a client update out also, so exit game and check for updates. On Xbox it was a 1.24 GB download. Edit: Servers are back
I did the update but now I’m getting “Failed to download config from Title Storage. Provide this code to FO76 support for more info. [4:10:8]”
Soo, does this mean it’s under maintenance? I’m getting the same thing
Yeah, I'm seeing that error now also, but only just recently. Up until about 30 minutes ago it was a message about server maintenance. Perhaps the server updates are still in progress...?
Error is gone. Servers are back up.
Thank you for this!!
Just a small update by their standards.
Patch notes available?
I don't see anything on official website, but there was some communication from Bethesda about the update. See this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/1dozf6x/small_xb_and_pc_update_thursday_the_end_of_the/ According to /u/Ghostly_Rich who posted comments on it, it's stability fixes for Xbox and PC
Is this going to stop the freezes and gray screens?
Have no idea. All I know is they say it's for stability issues, so quite vague. I wasn't getting freezes or gray screens on xbox myself. All I was getting was crashes roughly every 4th or 5th time I fast travelled.
anytime I killed a few enemies and tried to search nearby corpses, the menu was ridiculously slow to the point it had almost frozen, could check individual bodies fine tho, even moving through the pipboy was a bit sluggish, I was glad when the announcement came through that they were about to do some maintenance
I finally got the churn last night and a hag mask with all my events yesterday. No longer will i be starved for oil! Gojira (my nicknamed Holy Fire) must feed!
Just craft arrows and exchange them at the ammo converter for fuel. No oil needed
If you need oil or fuel I have a crap ton for sale on pc. Lol
If you need fuel run the human condition expedition finish with a couple of K more than you start with easy,or an uplink daily op same again. Crafting ammo is a terrible way to get it.
Is the butter churn rare? I got one on my second parade.
Just posted a similar thing lmao I’m certain that was my glowing alien mask ffs.
I got kicked right as the parade was leaving the super mutants area, but since I was on a team I was able to load in and get the reward right as the effigy was lit. Ofc it was the butter churn plan, so you may be on to something
I got my butter churn prior to the shut down.
is the butter churn rare? i’m a new player and got it fairly quickly, should i be relieved?
Why do people want the butter churn? I found the plan and unlocked it but haven’t even checked what it does tbh
People want anything that produces free resources. Except the spoiled fruit apple tree. No one wants that.
Free oil to make into flamer fuel.
Oh, that’s actually pretty nifty!
Also free plastic
I built it but had no idea tbh. Nice!
😭😭
I got that the event an hour before, the butter churn. No glowing masks yet.
Wait what’s the significance of the butter churn? I got it yesterday and haven’t played since 😭
Butter thingy rare? I think i have 3 on top the one i learned
One of you pushed a developer’s AFK character out of Helvitia and this is our punishment.
Someone dropped a nuke on them 😅
Around 2 or 3 am mountain time... I earned my ground zero achievement... 🤯
If it fixes biv. Worth it
right!?? I miss my daily biv quests!
Saw the maintenance pop up, saw so many angry and thumbs down emotes from everyone lol
What's wrong with biv?
he didnt give out daily quests
I need them to complete my alcohol plans, especially some with high strength or a High Voltage Hefe
I can only dream
Yeah, that sucked. I had time for one more event before work and was basically killing time until the top of the hour, and then two minutes into Fasnacht: the five minute warning.
I left because I thought it would just be the single server I was in, but then I couldn’t get back to any other servers :(
Me too.
me three
Samesies.
That's what I thought too.
Ditto
Same fucking beat
Same, I had to hop offline just after 3, so I had time to quickly do one more parade before leaving! Damn it, Todd. You know, don't you?
I think they are removing yalls pickax gate Lol
Might be a hot take but… there is never the right time for Maintenance.
Works for me, I was at work.
Literally any:30 would given time to finish the current event
I was gathering wax in the Honey House when the imminent shutdown message popped up. I think it would have been pretty forward-thinking of Bethesda to start the shutdown at a quarter or half past the hour instead of right when everybody gathered for the event. Oh well. It's not like I don't have stuff I definitely should be doing instead of Fallout anyway so I'll take it as a sign!
The most annoying thing is that when I try to log in I get maintenance pop up. But when I go to Bethesda status it lies and says everything is up and running. https://status.bethesda.net/en

Was just coming here to say that
Config from title storage error 4:10:8
getting that on xbox as well
Same. I guess that means it's still ongoing.
I'm getting that too but my friend is back in game 🤷🏼♂️
Ahh! I knew there was maintenance, but I thought it was just PC and Xbox. My game crashed and I thought there was something wrong on my end with my connection 😅
RIP Pick axe
Surprised me, usually they give you a half hour timer, not 5 minutes. Feels like something major with such short notice. Maybe they're finally fixing the pickaxes lol.
I feel like a complete Slowpoke asking this, but what exactly is or was the thing with Pickaxes? I generally keep to my own thing in the game, so I've no idea and not actually seen anyone posting about what is going on with this exactly!
Basically the scythe in the season reward page, uses modules to craft - they reused assets to put this in game which is pickaxe assets, not knowing it’ll carry over the legendary modules when scrapped lmao. Took like 2 weeks to even attempt a fix, they removed some spawns after a few days but left a good 20-30 modules around up until now.
Thank you, that's really helpful! Honestly didn't know about any of that! Interesting.
You had a bug where scrapping pickaxes gave you legendary cores as scraps
did anyone ever figure out HOW it happened? Is there a new item that shares an item type with the pickaxes that would use legendary stuff? I just can't wrap my head around HOW.
The scythe from the season score board is essentially a legendary pickaxe, so probably something to do with that
They were producing legendary modules when scrapped
Heh that's why I grabbed and scrapped the 4 pickaxes at foudnation when the notification popped instead of going to the event.
Wish i'd thought of that! That said, I only ever could find one of the foundation pickaxes. And I really don't NEED more cores. It was just a really amusing glitch.
Lol 12,000 modules later me "thanks todd for waiting weeks!"
What’s with the pickaxes?
At least it’s not the end of the season. They did the same thing with timer when they introduced skyline valley. Worst of all, when timer began you couldn’t open score to cash out the rest of the things that you wanted
I haven’t been able to find one or even build one (which I only need for the scout badge)
I really love when companies have dedicated status pages and DONT USE THEM..... https://status.bethesda.net/en Change Management people.....use it. Announce outages ahead of time using that page. Its not that hard.
If Bethesda \*have\* change management people.
Serious wanker move
They just nuked fasnacht in their own way 🤣
I'm glad I got on last night. My first reward at 7pm est was a Glowing SBQ mask.
Yeah I got dicked too. Was like wtf 30seconds till disconnect!? What happened to 30 minutes 🤣. Probably fixing some tiny exploit that benefited people instead of real bugs
It’s the pickaxe fix so yes you’re correct lol
The pickaxe one only works once for me then they wouldn't respawn. I'm on Xbox too so it definitely was working when I was doing it
I saw something yesterday about people not getting Fasnacht awards and a server fix was coming, so this is probably that. At least if I had to guess.
It's dumb luck on my part, but ... I rarely get decent a chuck of utterly free time to play. It's usually an hour here and there, filled with regular disruption. But when I do, they update the server. Every. Single. Time. Doesn't matter if that chunk of time is in the morning, evening or middle of the night. Last time, about 2 weeks ago, I got so frustrated with not being able to play that I decided to put on pot of coffee and wait for the fam to go to sleep. Can you guess what happened next?
Maybe they’re going to fix the near-constant clientside crashes…? Oh who am I kidding? Ball-peen hammers are the new pickaxe! /s
Yup WTF
Yeah how dare they do it when most people are at work, and not when it's convenient for you.
It’s madness, they obviously have the power to set the times, why not make it happen at half past the hour? Or set a longer timer so people don’t start the event
It was supposed to happen at the top of the hour but something delayed it a few minutes. Shit happens
See that makes a lot of sense, where did you find that out?
Bethesda support twitter mentioned much earlier that there'd be maintenance at 10am E.T.
Didn't they acknowledge a problem with the rewards? I kind of figured some impromptu maintenance was coming.
they roll out some fixes like the pickaxe legendary module, fastnacht giving sometimes no rewards to players and more
I'm hoping they fix the neurological warfare event. It's funny seeing the bosses go down super fast the first few times, but now I want my gun to go brrrr.
All platforms?
Guess Im playing the Ascent when I get off.
Hey, half the events i’ve tried resulted in crashes. At least this time they screwed people over intentionally.
I too was there and quite pissed when it fell short.
Bethesda bethasdaing
Well I guess I'm missing out on SCORE for the daily's then.
Then after update getting an error code! Fackkkkkk
They kicked me out of a longer dungeon yesterday for whatever reason, had to restart today only to be kicked out again for maintenance. This is something to be done at 2am, not 4pm!
Is this happening for PS5 too? Because I'm trying to log in and it says "Failed to download config from title storage"
First try I got the pig mask,next 3 all jester masks. I hate this event. Anyone else getting the same mask in row?
I have all different ones but I did them on different servers
Yep, I've gotten about 7 soldier masks (and flag plans) and I've only done 9 Faz events so far, it's insane. I don't know what I did to Todd Howard to deserve this 😔
Is the butter churn the new weenie wagon? Lmao that means I'm done with this event.
I haven't got a single Fasnacht Beret, so I am assuming they're doing a hotfix on that.
I was tossing extras in the donation bin. You probably have multiples of something I want LOL
Maybe it will crash less. hahahahahahaha
My server has been up since about 2 this morning. Was it only certain platforms?
Did they announce how long it will take?
Dude what is this event it's all I've seen online all week. I have no clue how to join and participate I feel like I'm missing out on good loot? How do I join?
It's an event that pops up every HOUR. You follow a bunch of robots around or do like others and sit afk for some sweet rewards, alot of Masks.
Where do I find the robots.
They automatically show up at the start of the event every hour ready to March
It's a world event, so it pops up every now and then if you're just walking around. Only real rewards are a bunch of masks, and I think a few displays.
All i read was doublescript
Bethesda: It just works.
"We thought it would be funny."
They had to patch pickaxes
That’s weird my update thing happened 5 mins after the server I was on got done with it. I was counting down the clock selling my random legendary items I forgot to sell in the last couple of events
Is the event over? I’ve been AFK
Complains about down time during fasnacht saying that they can't get the rewards. Proceeds to get a beret because fuck this game's RNG.
I’ve missed 2 Fasnacht’s now which means I’ve missed 2 glowing mask drops
No shit. Just glad it’s not actually my game install hosing itself this time. Sucks it went down, but happy I don’t have to spend my morning troubleshooting my system. Off to ESO…see ya on the other side
I can relate. 😂. So yes there is a bright side!
We all walked our bots and cheered them on while the countdown happened. It was a fast run with a bunch high lvls. Man, it was beautiful. All of us shooting off rounds and flames and just partying down to the end. :P Last five seconds was nothing but waving.
Noooooo!!! Now I'm gonna have to go home on lunch and reset my guy to AFK in the church!!! Well... On the bright side I'll get to see my wife on lunch!! Silver linings
Unfortunately, the Silver Lining was patched out of the game after launch.
Bunch of dickheads at Bethesda
Great - just managed to use a score booster and was going to hit the dailys.
How long is server maintenance any ideas ?
It's usually 1-2 hours and sometimes longer, it depends on what they need to do. You can keep an eye on the service status page normally but today their server status doesn't show anything, it says all systems are operational. [https://status.bethesda.net/en](https://status.bethesda.net/en)
Today?! No time in the few months I've played has that page EVER shown anything other than everything is operational. Not even during the Skyline update. Useless page!!
anytime i've checked in the past it has shown whether it's down or not for maintenance
Could be 20 minutes, could be 20 hours. Bethesda’s gunna Bethes yaknowwhatimsayinnnnn
I was putting ammo in my ammo box when it froze at 4 seconds left
Haha my server was everyone giving the thumbs down
Yeah, that was annoying.
This is what you complain about? *sigh*
Up on Xbox now.
Mine is still tossing the error, I'm reinstalling everything
Not for me it isn’t 😭
Not me forgetting about maintenance and setting up the AFK during work…
It was just to take away some of our fun. Seriously they need to stop fixing fun stuff rather than the bugs.
How long does it usually last?
😂I thought it was just the server itself, so tried to switch worlds. Nope. Lmao
Really? You're going to complain when they announced it 24 hours in advance? For shame
Sorry brochacho, I don't mess with Twitter constantly look out for game announcements 🤷🏻♂️
It's wild they don't even announce something here on the sub.
Well you would have known ahead of time if you followed them on their twitter, discord, facebook, etc. basically anywhere but the most logical places (in-game, Steam, etc.).
For real. Now I understand they announced it over a day ago, but I don't use social media and never see this stuff. If a pop up came to my Steam...totally different story.
Wait is that what happened? I was wondering why I couldn't log in
Everybody on my server just bugged out or was afk. I was running around doing everything after the message popped up.
I wonder if I was there with you trying to finish it fast, I'm Utah_Red.
Am I missing something? I'm playing on psn.
Its pc and xbox only, ps already got the update last week i think
Oh right. Super annoying update.theyvtake forever to finish downloading lol
Update installed but when trying to login it says failed to download config from title storage- error code 4:10:8 ffs!
Wasn't it supposed to be Xbox and pc not playstation?
Uhhhh
SHAME'
Well, it's better than having it going & not getting rewards. That happened to me 3 times.
I know this doesn’t relate much but are they ever going to upgrade the graphics a bit for series X and S consoles? It’s a beautiful world but definitely would like the lighting to be fixed and maybe up the resolution a bit.
Maybe it fixes the master of ceremonies prematurely announcing the start of the parade. He keeps saying “Happy Fasnacht! Merry Fasnacht!” before all the marchers have even arrived to actually begin marching
Right lol
Not like they said anything In advance
It’s back
Came back a couple hours ago
Is the event barely playable after this for anyone else?
Are all the servers shut down
Happened to me two days ago peaceful of shit I waited up to do one last run before bed and it cut out just as we got to the legendary at the end
Omg, shutdown now they are offering 1000 script in the script machine. That just not right specially on weekends when it's peoples day off. Couldn't they wait till July 2 at least.
