A persistent Starfield incoming weather bug is impacting players, making the hazardous status effect remain no matter what they do. Going to a different planet or waiting hours for the game to resolve the effect doesn’t seem to help matters. Sometimes restarting the game or going back to a previous save can help to remove the effect, but sometimes these usual tricks don’t help. Here are some solutions you can try to resolve the incoming weather glitch in Starfield.
How to fix Starfield incoming weather bug
The following steps can be taken to fix and remove the frustrating incoming weather bug:
- Head to extreme weather system and run back to ship – Go to a planet with a hazardous system. It can be the same planet where you received the incoming weather status effect in the first place, but it doesn’t have to be. Stand out in the storm and then run back to the ship and go inside it without fast travelling.
- Wait for hazardous weather system to clear – Another solution is to wait while inside a hazardous system until it dies down and the weather returns to being fair. You can do this by either sleeping in a bed or a chair in an outpost or perhaps a cave if you can find one. Regardless, if you wait the storm out, the incoming weather effect might go away.
- Use console commands – Open the console command feature by hitting the “~” key on PC. Then type in “player.removespell 1639f9” to remove the effect. Unfortunately, this will disable Achievements, though you can reenable Achievements by using a mod. If you wish to remove other conditions, you can type “help “(condition)” 4″ and going to the section that says “OTHER FORMS” to see the ID of the spell you want to remove.
Of course, you can also try restarting the game and reloading a prior save, but if you don’t want to lose any of your progress or if this simple doesn’t work, we recommend trying the solutions above.
