I'm loving the game absolutely so far but there's a bug that drives me insane when it happens.

A lot of times when I'm looking at my pip boy in-game and want to exit, it absolutely refuses.

I have to spam the shit out of the TAB button before it goes away after a long while.

Today it really became worse, it was so bad I was spamming the button up to 2 minutes long and I ended up going back my last save to get out of it.


Another issue I have, annoying for when I build but don't do it that much just yet. Is when in the building/workshop menu to place the objects I can only move right and back.

I can't move left or forward which is very annoying. I got my keybinding to QZSD because I've got an AZERTY but even if I try A and W it doesn't work.


Anyone else having these issue's or know how to fix them? I asked my mate but he doesn't have those issue's yet he got stuck in a terminal twice already and I haven't.

You should try having the pipboy app open on your phone in front of you. Do things from there without having to open your pipboy in-game. It's useful for pretty much everything except combat, where the time pause and the mouse speed would obviously come into effect.

There is also a console command to exit all menus that work in NV. You could try it in Fallout 4. I don't know what the Fallout 4 achievement disabling thing is, but ehh I mean if you're desperate.
cam
CloseAllMenus for short.

Edit: I'm probably retarded. That's a gamebyro command btw, it may or may not work with the creation engine.

I could try using the app more often, but that would also mean I need to recharge my phone a lot more. Well it's a temporary solution so thanks for the suggestion.

I had recently stepped out of the power armor and done some remodelling around the place, and I was pressing TAB like usual to try a new mask from my inventory and it just would not look at the goddamn pipboy so I reloaded my save and it fixed it.

anyway, I thought this was related somehow.

oh speaking of console commands, do they still make it so that you won't earn any achievements if you use them?
I would like to use tfc to take screenshots but I'm afraid I won't get any more achievements if I do

Also, where the hell are the trading cards? I have over 15 hours of gametime and no trading cards... I'm distraught!

I'm not sure if achievements are disabled WHILE you use it, but I am sure as hell it's not locked if you use the console commands temporarily, I did tgm from time to time to save myself from Raiders with Fat Man or simply or Suicide Mutants that run to you with the nuke , yet I still get achievements.

I think it's not locked even if you use console commands, sometimes I get tired of looking for parts so I turned on tgm while in building mode to have an infinite supply of materials to build and I get the occasional achievements for building or crafting stuff .

Never had the problem with Pip Boy as specified here though.

Well I've been stuck in terminal now to and a quick save and load fixes that but the pipboy issue still occurs.

I've also noticed that when said bug is happening, I can't use TAB in ANY menu to close.

Is a good warning signal to say that the bug is happening.

I actually had 2 corrupt save files the other night as well right after I took down a lvl 36 Raider Survivor, who uses stims and without me using chems.

had to start it all over cause it was crashapalooza

So far a very stable release.
