Bethesda Game Studios has announced that it has rolled out another small update for Starfield, bringing a few more fixes to its space-faring RPG.
Here are the patch notes for Update 1.8.88, which addresses a problem where space matter could stick to ships, as well as an issue relating to weapon spawning in Outposts. A crash impacting some Xbox and Microsoft Store players should also be resolved:
STARFIELD UPDATE 1.8.88 FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS
GAMEPLAY:
Addressed an issue that would cause space matter to become stuck to player’s ship during space travel. Loading a save will now remove the space clingon. Please note: This fix should address any space matter being stuck in your travels, but not in instances where player ships have New Atlantis attached. A fix for that will be released in a later update.
OUTPOST:
Fixed an issue that prevents random guns from spawning in a newly created Weapon Case after loading a save.
SAVE/LOAD:
[MSS/Xbox] Fixed an issue where players could experience crashes while saving during long playthrough without going through the Unity.
Two of these fixes were originally introduced with Starfield’s Beta Update 1.8.87, which Bethesda rolled out on December 1 with what appears to be identical notes:
