Fallout 76 beta extended after bug which deleted 50GB data

Bethesda has extended the Fallout 76 beta after an unfortunate bug last night deleted the entire 50GB game client from some users' PCs. In a fantastically alarming tweet, Bethesda warned fans to "not click any buttons on the client for the time being", which made it sound like people's computers were about to explode.

If this isnt the mother of all bugs then I don't know what is(save data corruption is obviously the father)... Bethesda being Bethesda once again.

Well damn...

If they have something this big for a Beta, imagine the full release

I've always said Bethesda should not do multiplayer games like this even right down to co-op...they can't even do single player games without the hundred of bugs that come with it so why would people want to see a company like that try to do something which will create a hundred more issues.

I really don't understand what the fuck is going on with this company..

Early Access bugs? When Bethesda gonna start charging me for less bugs?

This game is a mess, and so close to release.

No way Im buying Starfield unless they use a whole new engine. One of the biggest devs in the industry is somehow also one of the sloppiest. Junkyard cars are more polished than Bethesda games at launch.

They are using a new game engine for Starfield, probably be a early next gen or late this gen game

lol Bethesda

Isn't this game out in like two weeks? Considering the performance issues I've been hearing about on both console and high end PC rigs (1080ti having to bump settings down to medium for a stable frame rate) despite the game looking like a last gen game plus this sort of bug, I'm guessing this game be the flop of the year.
