Bethesda Server Status - Fallout 76 Launcher and Forums Not Working

Tuesday, October 30th was the day that Bethesda had the second B.E.T.A. test for Fallout 76 scheduled to take place for the platforms of Xbox One, Playstation 4 (PS4) and PC. However, ahead of the scheduled start time for the Fallout 76 beta today the Bethesda launcher and forums for Fallout 76 are currently not working with an partial outage to blame for the unstable server status.

The official server status page is currently stating that the developer is investigating the login issues for the launcher and the troubles that are currently affecting the forums and causing them to not be working. At the time of this writing, the developer has not given an approximate time for when the server status for the launcher and forums should be working and when players will be able to begin playing tonight's beta test. 

However, with the Fallout 76 beta test for Tuesday less than an hour away from its scheduled start time, the community is extremely curious to see what the developer will do if the launcher and forums are still not working in time for the scheduled time frame for the Fallout 76 beta. It remains to be seen if Bethesda will cancel the beta test, extend it in order to make up for a late start or if the developer will be able to fix the server status before 7 PM EST. 

We will continue to update this story when more information regarding the server status for the Fallout 76 beta regarding the Bethesda launcher and forums is made available.
