(2019) Game breaking fermenter bug... do not do this. Currently waiting on support ticket.

This thread was added on March 14, 2019, with posts from Ladydevann, BethesdaGameStudios_.

Original Post

I currently have a support ticket in queue but wanted people to be aware of a bug with the fermenter that will make your character inaccessible. The bug occurs if you have anything sitting in the fermenter when you server hop and can't place your camp down. If you join a server where your camp can't be placed and then for whatever reason go to the "aid" tab in your stash you will see the fermentable items sitting there. If you remove them and log out your character will become unusable and you will be disconnected any time you try to play the game (other characters will still be usable).

I had this happen inadvertently on one character and then broke my second character to confirm the bug (so currently without any real playable character):

  1. Put fermentable beer/nukashine in the fermenter at your C.A.M.P.
  2. Server hop until your C.A.M.P. cannot be placed
  3. Once you find a server that cannot place your C.A.M.P. go to your stash, go to to the aid tab
  4. Remove the fermentable beer/nukashine
  5. Leave the server
  6. Try to re-connect... you will be disconnected every time

Still going through the technical support hoops of restarting the game/xbox in the ticketing system but am hoping it gets escalated soon.

TL;DRIf you have fermentable drinks in your fermenter you will see them in the aid tab of your stash: Do not remove them via the stash interface.

Update: They told me to submit a separate ticket through "feedback" which I did. The feedback submission told me not to expect a response or any kind of notification which doesn't fill me with the greatest of confidence.

Hey there! Hopping in this real quick to let you know I saw this thread and I am looking into this right now. Can you send me your ticket number through a DM?

EDIT/ I sent you a DM! It seemed silly of me to ask you to send one when I could I just send one myself!

I did not do any of the above steps, and my camp did not have any placing issue. However, I got disconnected once while I was playing, and then kept getting booted when trying to relog, just like you. So just a heads up, it may not be Fermenter related. The issue resolved itself after a couple of hours and I could log back in normally. I did not attempt any fix except for restarting the game/launcher/laptop but none of it helped.

Hmmm if this happens again can you DM me?

@Lady, you guys told me to update my graphics driver.... So I am just to show you this isnt the issue so a real fix can begin. I guarantee you that's not the issue as I have the same problem with this ONE character on all of my computers. This isnt a user side issue as the support ticket reply assumes.

Can you shoot me a ticket number as well?

We are looking into addressing this issue with an upcoming hotfix. As soon as we have all the timing we will update this thread.
