What you need to know
Today could be a momentous day forOutriders. Since launch,Outridersplayers have had to suffer through a majorOutriders inventory wipe bugthat has caused players to lose dozens or hundreds of hours of progress in a single moment. Today, the Outriders team at People Can Fly is releasing anew Outriders patch updatethat should hopefully resolve the inventory wipe issue once and for all.
The new patch update is rolling out to Outriders on all console and PC platforms. It includes a new three-step inventory safeguarding protocol which should prevent any more inventories from being wiped moving forward. Unfortunately, this willnothelp players who have already been affected by the bug. The Outriders team is reportedly still working on a mass inventory restoration that will restore the large majority of lost gear and items and on fixing the “Couldn’t connect to server” issue hitting players affected by an inventory wipe.
It’s also worth mentioning that this patch update does include a known issue. Some players may encounter multiplayer connectivity issues followed by their inventory items becoming invisible. This is a temporary issue, and a game restart should fix it (a future patch will resolve the issue altogether).
If you want to avoid getting hit with the inventory wipe flaw, be sure to download this patch update as soon as possible. If you were already affected by the inventory wipe bug, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer for Outriders' inventory restoration process.
It’s unfortunate that this egregious bug began affecting players in the first place. Still, the Outriders team has been open about communication and has actively worked to fix this issue and many others in Outriders. Despite its flaws, our ownJez Corden has been enjoying what Outriders offers.
