Fallout 76: The Slasher Release Notes

3 of 3 setups were made before this update. Graphics options and performance may have changed since, so treat them as a starting point.

What changed for graphics

Fixed an issue with the Atomic Wall Light displaying placeholder textures when previewed.
The clouds from Infestations are now a texture on the map instead of a flat circle.
Fixed certain mod textures not displaying correctly in the crafting workbench preview.
Fixed missing blood textures when using the Bowie Knife.

Recommended settings for 40 FPS

Set the refresh rate to 40 Hz and the Framerate Limit to 40 for even frame pacing.
