Bethesda released another Starfield update on October 9, which mainly addressed stability issues and added FOV sliders to the game. The small patch disappointed players, who were expecting fixes for a myriad of bugs that locked quests. Here are the Starfield update 1.7.36 patch notes.

Bethesda confirmed that Starfield devs are focusing on releasing small updates to address some of the ongoing issues reported by players, as well as introducing new QoL features. In line with this strategy, the latest 1.7.36 patch has mainly addressed performance and stability problems and added Field-of-View (FOV) sliders.

However, the small update disappointed Starfield’s player community, which seemed to have been waiting for a permanent fix for progression bugs that have been locking quests, Xbox crashes, and the much-expected DLSS.

“Are they drip-feeding small patches before some gigantic patch or something?,” asked Reddit user Smaisteri, “I mean, it’s not like I don’t appreciate patches, but the patch notes look like something that I could expect from weekly hotfixes.”

Despite many players questioning the reason behind Starfield’s small update, Bethesda confirmed that they’re working with the community’s feedback and are looking to address most of the issues that have been reported.
