Error Code 4:7:0 ????

[SlowHand178]

EDIT 2: I actually bought the game, thru Digital River on NOV 19, 2019. That's how long I have been playing. I have the INVOICE. But since it is impossible to get a hold of Bethesda I cannot send it to them or prove it. such BS

EDIT: To alleviate any confusion-I have been PLAYING the game for over a YEAR.
I do NOT remember what my Bethesda log in is since they switched the game to STEAM over a year ago-I have never needed it and its probably on an older computer. This stinks and to get support I need to log in???? well if I could log in I would. Terrible CS imho.
Is there actually a fix for this? I do NOT, I repeat, I do NOT have a connection issue, well, excuse me, unless the connection issue is with FALLOUT 76 ONLY. I play other games for hours, never an issue.
Sad, because I love the game but at this time it is just to frustrating to play.

How to Fix Fallout 76 Error Code [4:7:0] “an unknown error has occurred”

According to the official Bethesda Support team, this particular error happens due to the restricted game access to the users. Additionally, if users haven’t redeemed a retail game code to their account, then you may face this error code. Keep in mind that the retail game is different from the B.E.T.A. code that you may have previously redeemed on your account.

Now, without wasting any more time, let’s jump into the steps below:

If you’ve brought the Fallout 76 digitally via the Bethesda.net Digital Store, Xbox One Marketplace, or PlayStation Store, the retail game code will apply automatically to your account. Then you would be able to start the download or launch the game.
If you’ve purchased the game via any other participating retailer, please check with your retailer for more information about the availability of your retail game code.
Windows PC Only: If you’ve redeemed your code and getting this error message after releasing the game, then you can run a “Scan and Repair” tool on your game to check for any missing or corrupted file.

Now, if you’ve redeemed a valid code and the above methods don’t work for you, then you should contact Bethesda Customer Support using your account for extended support.

I have been PLAYING the game for YEARS? This is BS, I don't mean you, I appreciate the reply. There have been MANY times when this crap happened and I am sure you know that-I mean disconnected from the server. I mean 100's of complaints. Unbelievable.

I ran the integrity scan 5X already. I also do not see scan and repair, I do see check the integrity of the game files so I guess that's what you mean.

The game is not perfect by any means. I get error messages too from time to time. Like "no internet connection"....hello....i watch the news while loading the game,

That is an understatement. I did finally get a hold of Bethesda. They sent suggestions, so we'll see. After lowering many display items, played ror 19 minutes before disconnect and the 4:7:0 message. :-(

I'm not sure where Arcanix got that info from but Bethesda suggest this:

[4:7:0] - ERROR CODE - FALLOUT 76
Fallout 76
Make sure that you are launching the game from the Steam client and are fully signed into your Bethesda.net account.

The most common reason for this error is due to a connectivity issue, however, before proceeding to those troubelshooting steps, take the Fallout 76 folder from the default location and move it to your desktop. Once moved, relaunch the game.

The default location of this folder is typically located here: C:/Users/user.name/Documents/My Games\Fallout 76
If the issue persists, it may be related to a connection issue.

Doing that seems extreme as it would force Steam to re-download the game and reset all settings to default.

They updated it then.

Still working on it-making modifications. Seems to help a bit.

Has anyone been able to fix it?
