Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios’ latest big RPG adventure, received another minor update, the second update since launch.
The patch notes are short, and the descriptions being rather vague, but it sums up to more bug-fixes and performance-related fixes. The Hand Scanner won’t cause stuttering/hitching anymore as you bring it up, which is nice. And Vasco or other crew members on the ship don’t seem to sink into the floor for no reason now.
No, there’s none of the big bullet points Bethesda outlined in a previous update has arrived for this one. No way to immediately eat food just yet.
Here’s the full patch notes for Starfield’s 1.7.33 update:
GENERAL
- Characters: Fixed an issue that could cause some characters to not be in their proper location.
