After a year, Fallout 76 'fixes' infamous Milepost Zero caravan bug
At other times, invisible collision points froze them in place. Players could stand around for ages, waiting for something to happen, while nothing did.

Bethesda's 'not-so-surgical' solution
Instead of tearing out the bug by its roots, Bethesda is going for a time-saving patch. In the upcoming update, which is now live on the Public Test Server, the caravan event timer will be slashed from 30 minutes down to just 7, marking a 76% cut. The logic: even if the Brahmin freezes, at least players are not stuck babysitting them for half an hour, reports Game Rant.
The animals still have to 'survive' the timer to finish the mission, but that is rarely a challenge when they are bugged - enemies usually stop spawning once the caravan stalls. Bethesda has not explained why it is trimming the timer rather than fixing the bug directly. It appears as if the problem could be too tangled to solve without pulling resources from other parts of the game.
Alongside the timer tweak, there is a rewards change as well. No more lopsided payouts - everyone who finishes a caravan will get the same number of Supplies. Earlier, the person who started the mission got a much bigger haul, making support play feel like a waste of time.

When is it rolling out?
As per Game Rant, the changes hit the test server on July 11 and are expected to go live with Fallout 76's next major update. That patch will also launch Season 22, 'Appalachian Modern Living,' which should land in September.
The fix won't stop Brahmin from occasionally moonwalking in circles, but it might keep players from losing patience before the loot drops. For now, it's a band-aid on a year-old wound, but at least players are getting something.

Roblox sends legal notice to YouTuber who helped in arrest of child predators; company claims these vigilantes, ‘...create an unsafe environment for users'
Representative Image Roblox has sent a cease and desist letter to a YouTuber who exposes alleged child predators on the gaming platform, a report claims. The company's legal complaint, which was revealed by the content creator known as "Schlep," has reportedly sparked outrage among users. In a letter shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Schlep showed Roblox lawyers claiming that the YouTuber violated the company's rules by engaging in "simulated child endangerment" and sharing personal information, arguing that these actions bypassed the platform's official moderation channels. Schlep, a self-described 'predator hunter' with more than 767,000 YouTube subscribers, had all of his related Roblox accounts permanently banned amid his dispute with the company. What Roblox said about removing vigilante groups from the game In a recently released statement, without explicitly naming Schlep, Roblox explained why it removed vigilante groups from the platform. 'While seemingly well-intentioned, the vigilantes we've banned have taken actions that are both unacceptable and create an unsafe environment for users. Similar to actual predators, they often impersonated minors, actively approached other users, then tried to lead them to other platforms to have sexually explicit conversations,' the company noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit. Do You Do It? Memory Health Click Here Undo Roblox also stated that while most conversations among its more than 111 million daily active users are 'safe and civil,' there are 'bad actors' who try to bypass its moderation system. The company stressed that using official reporting channels is safer and more effective than taking vigilante action. The statement came after backlash reignited debate over platform moderation versus vigilante actions, with critics accusing Roblox of prioritising legal threats over child safety. Campaigns like '#FreeSchlep' and '#BoycottRoblox' have gained momentum, backed by major creators such as MoistCr1TiKal and JiDeon. A petition urging Baszucki to 'fix what he's caused or resign' recently had over 48,000 signatures, while a related YouTube video surpassed 1.2 million views. Responding to his removal from the game, Schlep, who says his investigations resulted in six arrests of people accused of trying to groom minors on Roblox, accused the company of repeatedly disregarding evidence he and other vigilante streamers provided. In his video, Schlep also claimed that his motivation comes from personal experience, saying he was groomed as a child on the platform — an ordeal he says led to a suicide attempt. He added that David Baszucki , Roblox's co-founder and CEO, has also blocked him on X. Goodbye, Frequent FASTag Recharges! NHAI Launches Annual Pass for Rs 3,000 AI Masterclass for Students.
