Latest 'Outriders' Update Fixes Inventory Wipe Bug; Lost Inventory Restoration Coming Soon
KEY POINTS
Some players are not playing the game because of it
Square Enix addressed this issue in its latest patch
Devs will monitor the patch over the weekend to see if it works
Square Enix has announced the release of a new "Outriders" patch that would prevent players from experiencing the inventory wipe bug. While the latest update solves the issue of players having their inventories deleted, it does not restore lost inventories as of yet. According to developers, item restoration will be available later.
"Outriders" update 1.06 was released on April 15 across PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and Stadia. The patch is primarily intended to address the contentious inventory swipe bug that has become more prevalent since the release of the crash-focused patch.

I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered a character creator as aggressively bland as the one in
Outriders. All the faces are minor variations on Beefy Woodsman. Hair colors range from black to dull brown. Every decal is an unobtrusive scar, except for a lone chrome eyebrow implant that may as well be a shiny pimple. From this clay, I molded the world’s least interesting man. Moments into starting the game, however, I met the character I
would have made, if only I had the tools.

Jack Tanner is the captain of the titular Outriders, a spacefaring group trying to find a habitable location for the last vestiges of humanity. More importantly, he is a cowboy. In pink sunglasses. Why? No clue. Nobody ever explains, and if there’s a diary entry that covers this, I have yet to find it. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s the kind of out-of-place sore thumb freak abomination I would have made in a different game’s character creator. Immediately, I was fascinated by him. What was his deal? How did he end up in this game, specifically? Did he take the wrong bus?

Outriders is a third-person cover-based looter shooter. The game is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Stadia. We played the game on a PS5 for this review.

Some gamers have noticed that the crash logs from "Outriders" are taking too much space in their PCs.

Despite its current reviews on Steam, Outriders has seen massive success commercially. Thanks in part to its rewarding looter-shooter systems, the game is

Over the past week or so I’ve sunk about 25 hours into
Outriders—on top of the dozen-ish I spent repeatedly running the demo. And yet, I still haven’t committed to a main class. That’s not indicative of indecision on my part (okay, fine, maybe a tiny bit). That’s a testament to how awesome all the classes are in this game.

The loot-shooter
Outriders, officially out last week for everything but the Switch, casts you as an interstellar mercenary tasked with charting ground on a possibly habitable exoplanet. After an overwrought prologue—which runs you through an hour of paint-by-numbers third-person shooter gameplay—you’re able to choose from four distinct classes, each of which imbues you with a different type of frankly over-powered space magic. That’s when the game gets good.

As a brand new IP, it was difficult to estimate how successful Outriders would be at launch, even after the game’s very successful demo.

Outriders just launched a few days ago, but the devs at People Can Fly are interested in post-launch DLC and new content.

Reload and rerun
Outriders is designed to be replayed. We saw this aspect come to life with the demo, in which players reloaded story points to regain access to favorable farming missions.
Whether it’s reexperiencing a favorite mission or returning to an earlier point for higher World Tier farming, Outriders welcomes players to enjoy its offerings more than once. And doing so is extremely simple.
How to Replay Missions
To replay missions, return to the lobby and choose “Select Story Point.” A list of unlocked story points, divided by location (ex: First City, Eagle Peaks, etc.), will be shown.

Day 1 of Outriders doesn't seem like a good one
Outriders is the latest Action-RPG published by Square Enix, and while it is taking the gaming world by storm, it seems to have a lot of hiccups on day one, with its
server status being a little fuzzy and unstable. The team behind this new title is 24/7 working behind the scenes to fix any performance and server related issues, but things keep getting added up to the already big roster of malfunctions.
