Starfield Update 1.7.33 patch notes: Scanner fixes, Ship alterations & more

New Starfield patch notes have arrived, bringing a variety of useful bug fixes and quality-of-life changes. Here’s everything involved in this patch.

Since its release, Starfield has been a relative success, garnering pretty high review scores and introducing a ton of gamers into the out-of-this-world adventure. However, the release wasn’t without its bugs, with many players having gripes over certain glitches, often resulting in the loss of loot.

Now, a brand new patch is here, hopefully serving to fix some of those bugs, letting players explore the game without any frustrations. Here’s everything involved in the Starfield 1.7.33 patch.

What’s changed in Starfield patch 1.7.33?

As far as dramatic changes go, not much has changed in this patch. However, those experiencing certain bugs or issues with their characters, Scanners, Ships, or Graphics will be thrilled to find out that a fair few alterations have been made.

Perhaps the most important changes are fixes towards characters not being in their proper locations, and the bug where a vendor’s full inventory was accessible, which may have stopped the glitch many used to get loot from a vendor out of a puddle.

As for your ship, Bethesda has fixed the issue where items would disappear when placed on mannequins and when placed in Razorleaf Storage Containers and Weapon Racks.
