Bethesda Game Studios recently offered a glimpse into the upcoming Starfield update, set to roll out on March 6 via the Steam Beta. The focus of this patch revolves around enhancing player experience through quality-of-life improvements and diligent bug fixes.
Ryujin Industries' "Sabotage" Quest
A persistent bug in the "Sabotage" quest for Ryujin Industries has been a thorn in the side of Starfield players. The issue stems from an NPC crucial for quest completion failing to spawn in the designated location. Despite a previous attempt to remedy this in update 1.8.86 last November, players reported the NPC still missing after the patch installation. Now, with the upcoming update, Bethesda aims to provide a definitive fix, giving players a renewed chance to conquer the "Sabotage" quest.
Other Notable Improvements
Beyond the quest fix, the March update brings additional enhancements to Starfield:
- Facial Expressions in Photo Mode: Players can expect an added layer of depth to their in-game captures with the introduction of facial expressions in photo mode.
- Scanner Upgrades: Improvements to the scanner functionality will allow players to monitor the in-game world more effectively during resource harvesting activities.
- Mission Activation Quality-of-Life Improvement: Setting course on an inactive mission will now automatically activate it, streamlining the gaming experience.
This update follows closely on the heels of the February patch, which introduced support for AMD's FSR 3 and Intel's XeSS supersampling tech. Bethesda's commitment to a "steady stream of updates about every six weeks" underscores their dedication to addressing various issues within Starfield. The company has also teased upcoming fixes and improvements, including the addition of city maps and new traversal methods
