You can’t uninstall the Fallout 76 beta until you buy the game
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
I just deleted the directory. Come at me Bethesda and Microsoft!
(Microsoft would probably be more pissed with them making this kind of fuck up since I did try to do it properly and now everyone's forced to act like this is Windows 3.1 or something.)
Bethesda-senpai is very thundere. First the files are deleted trying to play the game. Now files can't be uninstalled.
I doubt it. It's rare to see any good of word of mouth about this game. I know era is a sorta bubble that doesn't represent the masses but everywhere I see a mention of this game e.g. Twitter, YouTube, twitch etc it's mostly negative
delete the directory
I'm sure the bethesda.net launcher has an option to re-scan for installed games, then once it realises that the old directory for FO76 isn't there, it'll remove it?
Not sure though since I haven't installed it

There's no way it will outdo Blops 4, FIFA and RDR 2.
It will probably still sell well, though.
The Bethesda.net client sounds so buggy that it might discover that FO76 folder was deleted and responds by attempting to delete System32.
so they pushed a beta they didn't even test for uninstall? lol Bethesda.
i know, i know, the point of this beta is for you to send over analytics to Bethesda to look at your behaviour and patterns and game data and whatnot - then again the end-user looks at a game that looks like crap, runs like crap, and really the overall game design seems like it's been stuck in the 2000s. Fallout 76 is literally Fallout with multiplayer except we've moved on from that Fallout game design.

I'm sure this is a bug; to suggest Bethesda did this on purpose to drive sales is ridiculous.
On a side note, I'm glad I wrote this game off straight away and am not having to deal with this crap.

Ah yes, if only there were some common thread behind Bethesda games being comically jank nightmares for the last decade.
It's like Gamebryo on your PC until you will be forced download full game locked behind paywall.
Thats one way to force people into playing 76 Bethesda.
It makes perfect sense: she won't let you uninstall the beta because she needs to be in everyone's computers at once so she can finally get her revenge on Todd.
Try to put "The Net" movie ad diskette into your Win 95 adn that shit fucks your PC up. I 'member.
I'm remembering the days when you didn't need an uninstaller for something. You just nuked the folder and possibly the shortcut and moved on.
This is kiiiind of a good point for me sticking to Arch Linux, more and more.

User warned: System warring.
The game is clearly more aimed at console players.
They won't hear about this stuff, they won't read reviews, console players are happy buying stuff based on a neat CGI advert and 76 has that.
Unless the game bricks your console, "it's Fallout you can play with your friends" will do more good for the game than a laundy list of bugs will do bad.

Yeah, but that was 2003.
This is reaching Nintendo levels of "wut!?" I'd understand having server issues or something like that, but not being able to install/uninstall the game because xyz, how long has Betasada developed games for PC!?
