But it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Fixes <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General memory and stability improvements<\/li>\n<li>Fixed issue where equipped weapons become locked after completing Reunions<\/li>\n<li>Fixed issue with When Freedom Calls where the quest would not complete<\/li>\n<li>During Confidence Man, fixed issue where player&#8217;s health would continuously regenerate<\/li>\n<li>Fixed crash related to jumping into water and reloading saved games<\/li>\n<li>Fixed issue where Launcher would not save God Rays Quality setting properly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One positive point worth noting in this update is ability to remap Numpad keys to item favourites. And it\u2019s a welcome improvement given how many favourites we have and having to navigate our Pip-Boy to use items breaks the pace of combat.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>New Features <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Number pad keys can now be used for remapping<\/li>\n<li>Remapping Activate now works on Quick Container<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just keep in mind that this is a beta update, so we\u2019d advise you listen to the Community update by backing up saved games.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions to install the update are these:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log into Steam<\/li>\n<li>Right Click on Fallout 4 in your Library<\/li>\n<li>Select Settings<\/li>\n<li>Select Betas<\/li>\n<li>A drop down menu will appear.
