Serious problem discovered - last minute Bethesda has postponed beta testing of the biggest patch for Starfield

Bethesda was planning to start beta testing the biggest update for the space RPG Starfield today.

However, the company is forced to postpone the event.

Here's What We Know

The US developer said that a serious problem was discovered in the beta version of the massive patch at the last minute, which needs to be fixed before the update hits the public.

Bethesda apologises and promises to start testing the patch closer to the end of the week - a new date will be announced additionally.

We discovered an issue we want to address before releasing our update into the Steam Beta. We're aiming to release it later this week but we'll confirm timing when we know for sure. Thanks for your patience! https://t.co/XnevDP9Baz

Recall, global changes will be subjected to almost all elements of the game: hundreds of bugs will be fixed, improved graphics and general technical condition of Starfield, eliminated problems in a number of quests and increased stability.

In addition, the developers intend to improve the display of planets, satellites and other space objects, and they will again try to eliminate the bug in which asteroids obsessively follow the player's spaceship. This bug was not eliminated the first time and Bethesda game designers will try again.
